Why stay here ...

Our CL is an adults only site owned and run by Nick and Sherry Amis who have lived in this beautiful part of North Norfolk since 1965. The site is open from a week prior to Easter until 31st October every year. Dogs are welcome.

The site is flat and all pitches are on wood chip hardstanding which are large enough for a caravan and awning with 16amp electric hook up, a water tap, security light and free Wifi. The toilet and shower block has a hot shower which is included in the price per night.

Next to the CL is a field where organic flowers are grown and the rest of the surrounding land is farmed. There are fabulous views to the south and on a clear day the top of Norwich Cathedral is visible with binoculars (25 miles away). We are equidistant from the seaside towns of Cromer and Sheringham (3 miles approx) which both hold their famous annual carnivals in August. The 1940`s weekend is also extremely popular at Sheringham and takes place in September. This is where the steam trains are stationed. The nearest beach is at West Runton which is 1.5 miles away.

There is a petrol station with shop selling many provisions and newspapers and The Roman Camp Inn which serves excellent meals and good beers is within a short walking distance via a pavement.

There is a train station and bus stop at West Runton which you can meander through beautiful woodland to reach, just over a mile away. From West Runton you can pick up the coastal hopper bus which travels through several seaside villages to Hunstanton and the train to Cromer, Sheringham and Norwich.

The site is surrounded with apple, plum and sloe trees (help yourself!) and many colourful pots of varying flowers depending on the season. There are a variety of birds including partridges and pheasants which saunter round the site. Later in the year you may be lucky enough to see and hear hundreds of migrating geese in their V formations.

There are many walks close to the property and National Trust woodlands at Felbrigg Hall, Roman Camp and Pretty Corner with cycle tracks to many surrounding villages.

great cl

Grove Farm
We have just returned from a 7 night stay at this cl and what great site it is. it is located just a few minutes drive from both Sheringham and Cromer which have good supermarket and lots to see in both towns. the site is level and plenty of space between vans, the owner was very friendly. A week was not long enough so we will be back soon and hope to stay on this site. Many thanks.

Brilliant little site!

Grove Farm
We were welcomed by Nick & Sherry and Nick helped us to site the caravan and helped us before we left after a lovely 8 day stay. This is a lovely site, sheltered by hedges and trees, enhanced by pots of flowers, and each pitch has its own water tap, light, and EHU.. It is very handy for all amenities, supermarkets, garage, pub, coast, and the Broads. Nick has an amazing fund of local knowledge, which he is happy to share on a daily basis and nothing is too much trouble. We had a lovely 8 day stay - and even the weather was kind. Thanks again for everything.

Close to places of interest and Norfolk beaches.

Grove Farm

This site is set in a half acre area behind the very friendly owner’s house who makes great effort to welcome guests and offer as much guidance and help that he can, The site is surrounded by trees on the main A148 road to / from Cromer. Unfortunately, when we were there not all the other guests were leaving the toilet emptying area clean with the hose provided for flushing after emptying their toilet which left it rather unpleasant for the next person. There is a shower and toilet but not all guests were leaving that clean after use either and overall it was not to good standard of cleanliness. There’s no pavement along the A148, on the site’s side of the road for safe walking from the site with dogs. The road has to be crossed and it can get very busy during the day and at rush hour. We did like how close it was to places of interest and the beach though, so much to do within a short drive away,

Comment from the Club

Thank you for the review and we are delighted that you found the owner's friendly and welcoming. They have been in touch to advise if you had advised them of the issue with members not leaving the facilities clean they would have rectified it straightaway. If you stay again and this is an issue please let them know and they will be more than happy to help.

Lovely Friendly Site

Grove Farm
Just back from a 12 nights stay at this lovely welcoming site. On arriving we were met by the very friendly and informative owner Nick, who helpfully gave us compass points and told us we could pitch in our preferred direction. Pitches are well spaced. The site is very dog friendly and we were given a wealth of information regarding the local area. There’s a good pub/restaurant with excellent food about a 5 minute walk away. The beer garden welcomes dogs. This site is in an ideal position to reach the stunning North Norfolk coast with Sheringham and Cromer on your doorstep. West Runton and East Runton beaches are great for dogs with the latter offering 30 mins parking for 60p if you just want a quick walk. Further south are some beautiful beaches, all with good size dog friendly areas. We particularly liked Walcott with its large Sandy beach and a first class fish and chip shop on the sea front. Thanks for the recommendation Nick. There is some road noise but it really didn’t bother us. Would we stay again? Most definitely. We loved the area and the CL. Thank you

A jewel in the crown

Grove Farm
What a wonderful CL. Ease of access, proximity to a local supermarket and plenty of places to visit, a wonderfully welcoming site owner, a shower and toilet, and all set in a beautifully maintained lawned area, on hard standings. Cannot recommend this CL highly enough.
