Cons:

• "Could do with bigger sinks for washing face and brushing teeth - also mirrors."
• "Basins are very small with no plugs so getting a wet shave is virtually impossible."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately, also our service was slow and 2/5 people on our table had finished their huge breakfasts before the other 3 people’s had arrived."
• "Waited nearly 30 min for two coffees, and food a good 45 min when not overly busy."
• "After deciding what we wanted my partner went to the bar to order which was a long queue and a 15-minute wait."
• "After ordering we were informed that it was a 40-minute wait for food!!"
• "Have been there twice both weeks had the hen house (egg benedict) both weeks the eggs were hard, mentioned both times but no improvement."
• "Waited a further 10 mins, no one had made the effort to inform us of what’s going on or even cleared our plates."
• "The queue for the till backs up very quickly and due to the layout, begins to take up a lot of room around the tables where people are eating."
• "Went here for breakfast with my partner after hearing great things, We ordered 2 breakfasts which were slightly overpriced but we were happy to pay it, breakfasts came and omg we were horrified, eggs were snotty and uncooked, black pudding was better used as a Frisbee it was that rubbery."

Location

Pros:

• "Excellent location, within easy reach of Norwich, the Broads and the coast."
• "The site was very central to all places we wanted to visit which was super helpful for us too."
• "Great location for getting about. Bus route a short walk and train station is a 15-minute walk."
• "Lovely peaceful small site with good size level pitches. The site is in a good location for visiting many places in the area with a bus stop close by."
• "Lovely site, spacious pitches, Norwich city centre only 15 mins away but site felt like it was deep in the country."
• "Very spacious pitches. Nice quiet campsite. Great location for going to Norwich."
• "The site is really well thought out, extremely well looked after and clean."
• "Location for getting around excellent. Lovely big pitches and water and electricity at each pitch very good."

Cons:

• "The only complaint was that it would be nice to have some hand basins and mirrors."
• "The bins were overflowing when we arrived and still when we left three days later."
• "Lack of footpath walking to the pub which is a fair walk from the site but didn’t tarnish our stay."
• "Only one hanging hook in shower cubicles. One extra hanging hook or basket on the door to pop your things in would be really handy."
• "Not enough signage to advertise where the campsite is."
• "Could do with a cover over the washing up sinks, and some bonus mirrors over the sinks in the bathroom."
• "The main thing for us was unnecessary noise."
• "The site isn’t fully finished but doesn’t take away from the pitch area, will be top notch once complete. Just a note to say that the campsite is on the flight path of Norwich airport."
