Why stay here ...
Please use SatNav IP13 7JX for our CL Site.
Church Farm offers its visitors wonderful views overlooking the Deben valley from a peaceful location in front of a church. In the evening you will be able to see a clear view of the stars with no light pollution. The sloping site is situated 0.25 mile up the farm drive. Each pitch has access to electric and water hook-ups and plenty of space for awning. Free range geese on farm, not on site.
A small fishing lake is 100yards away and filled with carp with a depth of 12 feet. I run a small farm, which mostly grows cereals. Cattle are present on the water meadows during the summer months.
The site is located close to the historic market town of Framlingham with its impressive castle (3m), Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon cemetery (7m) and the popular site of Snape Maltings (10). There is a choice of 3 local pubs that you can visit. These are the Kettleburgh Chequers, which is within walking distance of the site, Brandeston Queens Head (2m) and Easton White Horse (3m). There is no shop in the village but a full range of interesting shops are available in Framlingham.
We also run a popular Bed and Breakfast so family and friends are welcome to stay either in the farmhouse or our lodge, which is adjacent to the CL.

Excellent loved Church Farm highly recommeded
Church Farm
This was our first time at a cl site and we are so pleased with our experience at Church Farm. The site is located on a hill so levelling blocks were needed but that is also advised in the book. Each pitch has EHU and access to water which is ideal.
The site is located within walking distance to a pub although it was under renovation so we walked to the next one. There is also a country bus hail and ride to take you to Framlingham and Ipswich or Norwich. The owner made us feel very welcome showed us around. Our booking was just for 2 nights we really could have stayed longer but had to return home to work the next day.
We will certainly return and now have taken our first cl will look for more.

Beautiful place to stay
Church Farm
We spent a lovely, peaceful 12 days here in August. The site is well maintained, grass mowed regularly, the geese have a good nibble every day. Water point at each pitch, rubbish area is clean and tidy. A wonderful selection of mature trees make up a small wooded area to one side of the site, open fields on another, a beautiful church sits just behind.
The owner, Mr Bater is extremely friendly and available should you need help with anything. My husband made a suggestion regarding the chemical disposal area, as he had found emptying the toilet slightly awkward. Next morning Mr Bater had already taken forward his suggestion, making a not particularly pleasant task so much easier.
The icing on the cake, for me, were the geese, a group of 8 that take a wonder down to the site 2/3 times a day. They mind their own business, not a nuisance to anybody, but provided me with endless entertainment, so comical to watch.
We would love to visit again, at the time of writing we are under covid 'house arrest' but we look forward to future happier times.

Lovely place to stay
Church Farm
Stayed for week in August. Farmhouse and surroundings beautiful. CL Owners very friendly and obliging. Would recommend for its peace and quiet. and ease of access.
A good place to relax
Church Farm
We've just spent a really relaxing week on this site. There is a choice of footpaths leading away from the site, either across the fields to the next villages or down into the village of Kettleburgh. We enjoyed the walk across the fields to Brandeston where we enjoyed Sunday lunch at The Queen. (You need to book a table during Covid.) Cycling or driving further afield you can explore, Framlingham with its castle on the hill. Orford castle, Snape Maltings, Aldeborough, Dunwich Heath, RSPB Minsmere, Southwold. All of the Suffolk villages are so pretty.
In the grounds of a lovely farmhouse
Church Farm
Just spent another relaxing weekend (our fourth visit) at this tranquil site with my family and the in-laws. Biked easily into Framlingham to explore the castle and then onto beautiful Dennington and beyond. We usually round the weekend off with a slap-up dinner at the local Chequers Pub but didn't manage it this weekend for obvious reasons. Already looking forward to our next stay here.
