Hi there,

We are looking for some sites in Essex or Suffolk that are children friendly,close to the sea and more impotantly have a bar where I can watch the World Cup games next Friday and naturally next Saturday

thanks in advance - Dave

Orwell Meadows in Ipswich?

Has everything, but the Sea! Felixstowe is only 15 mins down the road though!

Im off there on 19th July, but from what I have read seems very child friendly!

Not sure about the footie...... not interested myself!

Hello and thanks for your info.

The problem for me is that I visit ipswich frequently to see my father-in-law so it does not have the same appeal really.

I am chasing up a lead of a good campsite at Mersea which has playground, indoor swimming pool and  a newly refurbished bar.

Thanks again - Dave B

Hi Dave

Not sure which site you are looking at on Mersea but we stayed at Waldegraves last year and would recommend it. Bar is good, food on site, outdoor heated pool, close to beach, fishing and golf driving range also if you want it.

I suspect i've got my facts slightly wrong and maybe it is Waldegraves which I shall phone up tomorrow and try to book for the weekend next.

Thanks again - Dave B

Contrary to the website they do not hire out fishing tackle at Waldegraves so you must take your own.

I don't think £22 per night is too bad for two adults and three children though.
