 Good location to beaches and other historical sites. Children enjoyed the pool and Trampolines. Pool is big enough for kids to enjoy with charge of £3 for child and £4 for adult.
There is a barn with snooker table, piano and Fridge Freezer, though needs to be cleaned including fridge.
There are quite a few toilets and showers. However, only one had hot water- only used ladies. And not all Toilets had soaps! Much needed in COVID times! The wash area only had one sink working with very slow water pressure, made it quite hard to wash up.
Nonetheless, campfires are provided with a truck ride for children in the evenings.

Management response: This is a spiteful review and not a reflection of what most my campers say.
The real problem was the objection to the charge per person for swimming; if the parents have 5 kids then it’s not going to be cheap. My business and therefore other campers who pay their fair share are not going to discount for the amount of kids in one family – sorry that’s life.
Yes, we have quite a few toilets and showers (all separate units on different hot waters tanks), it is not case that all units suddenly don’t have hot water – So this is NOT TRUE.
To say ‘And not all Toilets had soaps ‘ is a misrepresentation; Maybe, one of the toilets had run out of soap, which normally gets checked every day by the cleaner. |

Just had a really good time at Mill Farm, it has plenty of space and beautiful view of the sky and landscape.
An escape from the fast pace, you can have your own campfire and Ray the owner is laid back and welcoming, he takes time out to give the kids a good laugh, the fishing is good.
The covid rules are easy to stick to here as there are lots of toilets and wide open spaces.
It's wild camping but with added bonus of facilities and the Poachers Pocket is welcoming and serves delicious food.
It's a short drive to nice beaches and there's a local tescos and really handy use of a fridge at the campsite,
Its great, our first time, will be back, Thanks Ray :)

We love this campsite and its our second stay here in 2 years. We are a family of 4 with children aged 8 and 15 years. Its a spacious site, with plenty of well kept facilities for the numbers of guest staying.
There is a games barn, small lake with fishing (small fish), trampolines and lots of fields to play in. The owner Ray is friendly and helpful.
The campsite is very close to the village pub, good beers and food. The village is close with most amenities you could want.

Absolutely fantastic weekend away at a beautiful campsite! Lovely setting, large pitches, and everything you need to have an enjoyable stay.
Ray went above and beyond for our whole family, and makes a particular effort to ensure the children at the site have a fun time, which they most certainly did!
Evening rides on the sledges, a pool party complete with music, and firewood collecting certainly made our girls stay unforgettable!
Really couldn't fault our stay, and will most certainly be recommending and returning.

The caravan park was very spacious and the lake was very good for fishing with lots of fish.
The caravan was adequate but there were lots of flies in it which were very hard to get rid of. The site could do with more showers and toilets and need updating.
We had lovely weather.
The owner was very friendly
|
Management response: I’m disappointed with this review as I thought I was helping and an old retired couple be next to their family who were camping in a tent.
Clearly the old couple were not going to do tenting so I offered an older touring caravan for them to hire for £20 a night, next to the tent. I would say this was very good value – they said ‘adequate’?
Despite explaining how a touring caravan and cassette toilet works ‘if you don’t close cassette it smells & attract flies’.
Our other Caravan statics for hire with large better toilet and showers cost more than £20 a night to hire and on hindsight they should have been advised to hire those if their budget could stretch?
Of course during these Covid times we are getting new camping novices who have previously done the cheap good value foreign holidays (we don’t compare to 4*package hotels) and I suspect those holidays will be more expensive & less safe in future.

I cannot find any negative things to say about this gem of a site. Ray (and his son who checked us in) were the perfect hosts for the perfect camp site.
Facilities were clean and plentiful for the amount of guests on site - even on a bank holiday weekend.
The pitches were the largest we have seen and the games room and pool would have been an added bonus in bad weather, thankfully we had beautiful weather to explore the amazing Suffolk coast and nature reserves.
My daughters holiday was made perfect by Ray’s sledging and rounding up all the children so they made friends - as she (10 years old) said “who needs Disney when you can have Rays sledges!”
For a fun, no frills, campsite in the beautiful Suffolk countryside, this place really is perfect.

We camped with friends at Mill Farm and had a wonderful weekend with our own private field.
Ray the owner was very welcoming and gave the kids a ride on the back of his trailer, which they absolutely loved and are still talking about.
Some of the site facilities are a little basic and, while the games room is a great space for rainy days, it could be better equipped for small children but to me these are small things compared with the fun of feeding the fish in the pond and toasting marshmallows by a campfire.
We hope to return next year.

Just returned from a visit from mill farm, lots of secluded areas to choose from and we could have a camp fire using the fire pits along with the supplied wood.
Washing up area near men’s loos/showers, our ladies toilets were 50 metres away but worth the walk as there is a nice power shower and it meant the men had to do the washing up - lol.
We will return with our friends in a group together thanks to Ray and his sons.
