Goats in Boats
wow! what can I say about this site, IT'S AMAZING!!!!! the facilities are clean and well maintained, Susan - AKA Joyce and Bob are lovely people who are on hand to help any way possible. We have an 14yr old who has Autism and struggles in new surroundings and with new people, he loved the wildlife as its teaming, he took to Joyce and she embraced him. We will be returning!! 5*

2020 Retrospective - Excellent Site

Goats in Boats
Came here early Sept 2020 glorious weather and we stayed a week. This was our first CL and a good pick. A nice secure site. Some hardstanding if required but otherwise a well drained set of grass pitches. The amenities are excellent with a a shower block/toilets , outdoor barbecue, fridge to use. The hosts could not have been more helpful when we arrived and throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend this CL

Goats in Boats
this is a lovely site, access is excellent, nice and clean, nice friendly welcome that showed us where everything was, my 3 year old loved the chickens, its a nice quiet site but road noise in the distance but nothing to stop anyone going there, toilet an shower room was nice and clean, shower had plenty of pressure and water was nice and hot, plenty of hand gel etc around, weather wasnt good for us but even tho there had been so much rain there the previous week and while we was there the grass field was nice and solid, we will return, Thank you for making us feel so welcome, Rhys, Neysa & Lucy

we have just got back after 8 wonderful nights at Oakland 5cl site the welcome we got was fantastic . Joyce and Bob are down to earth and nothing is to much trouble . The cabin is a full working kitchen plus the toilet and shower is spotless with plenty of hot water we invited Joyce and Bob for a BBQ finished up using the purpose built one near the cabin so after putting the world to rights while emptying a bottle of whiskey we went back to our van happy and and slightly drunk .so thank you both for a very nice holiday … from Dave and Ann

Wonderful small site

Goats in Boats
This was the first Caravan and Motorhome site we have ever stayed at - I only joined up as I was unable to find a site with availability for the August bank holiday weekend at short notice. Luckily this site is newly on the books so Joyce was able to accommodate us for 3 nights. She and Bob are extremely helpful and kind, and their site is very peaceful with a lovely outlook onto surrounding fields. We were the only people there for the second and third nights and enjoyed waking up under the oak trees, the hot showers and quiet clucking of Joyce's hens as we passed to get to the toilet block. We were meeting up with friends in Lowestoft so the site was very well situated for us. We will certainly come back here, and will book well in advance in case Oakside becomes too popular!
