Date of Visit: May 2024 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 3 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Alwayswinter 1 review from this member

 The site was spotless and the staff friendly and helpful.

There is a but however, though, in fact two, which are the twin wind turbines that sandwich the site.

The noise is a continual whoosh that is unrelenting.

I'm sitting here on the final night for which I am grateful because tomorrow I will have some peace.

The further problem is the flicker that's caused by the rotors as they cast their moving shadow.

I think anyone considering this should consider the downsides and then pray for a windless stay.

 Met at the barrier by the warden who greeted me by name (I had to give my car registration number). Quick confirmation of duration of stay.

Shown a choice of pitches. My motor mover failed unfortunately but the warden immediately asked 2 others to help him site the caravan for me.

The road (shared with Africa Alive) was quite potholed which meant that I had to take avoiding action.

 The shower facilities were very good and looked quite new and were kept clean.

The holiday site managers were very friendly and helpful. We had no problems with the site WIFI.

We would not return to this site as the noise from the adjacent wind turbines meant we got very little sleep on 2 of the 4 nights we were there.

The grass seemed to be cut every day and as it was not picked up it got everywhere including the facilities.

Some dog owners were not picking up after their dogs so you had to be extra careful as to where you walked.

 Great site for exploring Southwold and right next to Africa Alive.

Wardens were very welcoming and have useful tips on visiting both Southwold and Zoo.

Facilities seem to be newly refurbished and very clean. Only minor issue was the press taps for the washing up water which shut off too quickly and meant a lot of time was taken up getting enough hot water.

Bus stop for Southwold just outside entrance on main road (10 min walk).

Would use again.

 I stayed 4 nights here and had a wonderful time. On arrival the site was at full capacity but the staff were helpful and very approachable.

The toilet block looked as if it had been upgraded and was spotless.

The site was well maintained and very clean.

They have a discount code for Africa Alive and a huge Car boot every Sunday.

The only issue was the WiFi. Not sure if it needs upgrading.

 Brilliant campsite with access to a beautiful beach.

The facilities were clean and tidy. Our tent pitch was spacious and there was more than enough room between pitches.

Great location, plenty to do and explore, although you do need a car to visit most places.

All the staff were really friendly and helpful.

We will definitely be visiting again next year!

 Pleasant site. Showerblock not open due to Coronavirus which was a shame. We have been touring Suffolk and some sites have gone to the effort of opening and maintaining the shower blocks whilst others haven't yet they still charge the same which doesn't seem fair.

The previous reviewer has said that this site is near the beach but I am wondering if they have got the wrong site! There is a site near the beach but it is not this one. This site is 1. 5 miles from the beach. We cycled there in about 10/15 minutes.

The beach is pebbly and we didn't go on it. There is a pub The Sailors Home and a restaurant The Waterfront overlooking the sea. The Waterfront gets booked up but they serve paella outside on a Thursday evening if the weather is fine without booking so we went then and it was fantastic value. The other nights we ate at The Sailors Home.

There arent any other pubs or restaurants there but a couple of fish and chip shops and one delivers to the site. We cycled 5 miles into Lowestoft which was easy as there was a cyclepath along the A12 and it only took 35 minutes and was well worth it.

We visited Africa Alive which was £22 each. We spent 2 hours there.

 Lovely site, clean and tidy. Plenty of space and facilities well maintained.

Close to the beach and woke to a sea view!

A bit far to walk to the village but close to a large supermarket for essentials.

Reviewer: Mud62 6 reviews from this member

 The site is clean and very well kept however there were several issues I would like to point out.

The staff were ok but not what I would call helpful. The code for the gate changes weekly but if you miss the extremely limited opening times of the office and shop you may have a problem later in the day.

I have 2 main problems with this site. The toilet block although spotless is accessed via a coded key pad, I have no dexterity problems but found the key pad small and very stiff. Anyone with arthritis or visual impairment would find it almost impossible to gain access without any help. Also they are closed for cleaning 10. 30 to 12. 00 with only one toilet available during this time, the site must be vacated by 12. 00 so you may have to queue after packing up before you start your journey home,

The second is being a dog owner I thought it would be a great site BUT the dog walk is no bigger than my garden and on a closer look I saw on the left side a run of barbed wire 6 inches above ground level at the base of the hedge, there was no access to anywhere other than the site and could think of no reason for it and a danger to dogs.

The site is surrounded by lovely green areas ALL fenced off with no access so if you want to give your dog a good walk you will have to walk about a mile to the beach negotiating a very narrow road with quite a lot of vehicle movement and on return a steep uphill walk back to the site.

 Very well run site as are all the CCC sites.

Clean and pleasant surroundings. Heated shower block which isn't used by many as they have their own caravan facilities.

We arrived late and the managers were extremely helpful

Can't fault the site.
