What was great?
I had booked this site after finding it on the internet. I was impressed by the fully serviced pitches - both water and electric and also free wii fi for those, all at a very reasonable all inclusive nightly rate (with no hidden extras or complicated Mathematics)! I was with my Husband, our 10 year old daughter and my elderly parents (in their late '70's/'80's). First impressions of the site when we pulled on were of a well kept, newly opened site. We called at the Mace shop at the entrance - which I believe doubles as the 'village' shop. The lady was friendly and directed us to a gentleman who showed us to a choice of pitches. We chose the one we liked best although there was little to choose between them. The site was not busy - perhaps due to our daughter's school breaking up a week earlier than some other parts of the UK. The grass was short and very dry - due to the spell of hot dry weather we were in the middle of. Although dry, it was not worn and there were no bare patches which we have known on other sites. There were newly planted hedges all around the site and in between pitches which, when grown will provide more privacy and screening. The facilities block adjoing the shop was in a timber building as can be seen in the photo. There we 2 ladies loos, 2 basins and a large shower. The mens, I am told was smaller with 1 loo, 1 urinal and 1 basin plus shower. Although this does not seem alot we never experienced a queue. The block was kept spotlessly clean at all times. The whole building block has been carefully designed with a laundry room and chemical waste point incorporated. There was also 1 disabled toilet/washroom. There was a separate timber washing up building with large sink and worktop. It was covered and so would be perfectly useable in wet weather. The owner of the site seems to take a real pride in it and during our stay we saw him gardening and planting the borders around the shop. He also told us about the marshes and lake at the bottom end of the site and said we were free to walk around. It was a haven for wildlife with wildflowers and plants being carefully managed. The lake was about to be introduced to some Ducks which were due to arrive after our departure - would have loved to have seen them. There is a great sense of space on the site with grass all around the camping/caravanning area and a large ball games field with goal post (footballs were even supplied) and a childrens climbing frame with swing and slide. There were 3 resident Donkeys in a field which we loved to visit and say 'hello' to - a real draw for young children. This really is an idyllic site in an perfect location. It is suitable for young and old. It is quiet, but due to the sense of space is great for children to burn off some energy and play a variety of games. It is very handy for the beautiful Suffolk coastal resorts of Southwold and Aldeburgh, Walberswick and Dunwich. It is also near to the RSPB reserve of Minsmere with it's bird hides and the Norfolk Broads are well within reach. We hired a day boat from Oulton Broad which was lovely and something we can recommend. The town of Beccles is worth a visit for the shops and also the lovely riverside walks. There are plenty of places to eat to suit all budgets (just beware the fish and chip shops tend to close at 8pm) and the 'local' pub is literally just up the road.

Even better if....
I would be hard pressed to find anything to dislike about this site. We loved it so much that we will return. Perhaps it would have been nice to see greener grass but it was purely a consequence of the heatwave conditions. The drainage is very good on site and so should not become boggy and waterlogged in wet weather. We did wonder if the facilities would be adequate at peak times and as the site was not fully booked during our stay we have to reserve judgement.
