  • "The staff were friendly and when we bumped into them we were directed to the Loo's and showers."
  • "I loved how friendly the staff were and they couldn’t do more for us travelling down as a family."

Cons:

  • "Management didn't make any attempt to chat or make any conversation. All check in online."
  • "Having a text during our travel to the site telling us our pitch had moved, we didn't hear or see it, caused some confusion with another couple upon arrival."

  • "The showers and toilets are spotless, with a bit of a rustic feel to them. And PLENTY of HOT water!"
  • "Bathroom facilities were exactly what you'd want and expect on a campsite. Spotlessly clean, functional with the bonus of a super powerful shower!"
  • "Good clean toilets, and showers, plenty of hot water."

Cons:

  • "The toilets and showers are awful sadly. They let the site down massively."
  • "I was not a fan of the toilets. They felt old and did not have enough hand washing points."
  • "Toilets needed a little tlc - few with dodgy locks which caused some distress for our little children."
  • "Toilets and washing facilities are adequate but basic."
  • "Some of the toilet locks don’t work, also as you can see the toilets don’t have sinks inside and are very cramped."
  • "The showers had more like a dribble, the more people that used the ones nearby at the same time the slower the dribble got."
  • "The individual showers were more like dribble, the more people that used the ones nearby at the same time the slower the dribble got."
  • "The Loo's were pretty basic and were not regularly serviced."

Activities and Attractions

Pros:

  • "Lots to do, including football, mini golf, escape room and next door is an assault course and axe throwing."
  • "Lots of guests but very spacious, level pitches & didn’t feel at all cramped. Lots to do onsite."
  • "We did the mini golf and assault course but there was so much more. Archery, axe throwing, airsoft, escape room, gym, and animals."
  • "The escape room on site was AWESOME (we didn’t escape) but it’s a MUST! The giant games and mini golf was also a big hit!"
  • "The pod itself was great! Good location and quiet. Most things are a drive away- local shops/parks etc."
  • "So much to do at and near this campsite! It’s a beautiful area, we explored Bury st Edmunds but also nearby nature reserves."
  • "There are rabbits and chickens. There is karate school attached to it. But it’s in a nice quiet town, way from main noises and traffic."
  • "A small quiet site with friendly staff and well marked out pitches. The facilities are best described as a work in progress."

Cons:

  • "The place did look a little run down in places but we could see improvements are being made."
  • "The individual showers were more like dribble, the more people that used the ones nearby at the same time the slower the dribble got."
  • "The site had suffered from adverse weather so facilities were closed. General maintenance appeared poor but that was probably due to being early season."
  • "Some of the shower/toilet facilities were beyond their best and the floors were spongey and the floor regularly flooded."
  • "This site is really quiet which is a massive plus and the pitches are really good size!"
  • "I also cannot express enough how friendly everyone was at helping us settle in, and giving us a fun experience we won’t forget."
  • "Toilets are functional but need updating. Site doesn't cope well with rain."
  • "The only thing that could do with modernising would be the toilet facilities."
