Why stay here ...
Garnetts Gardens (est 1994) is a local, family-run shop which offers a unique combination of a working nursery, plant centre, farm shop, gift area, cafe and caravan site. Our CL is situated alongside the shop in the picturesque valley of the River Ore, in the village of Hacheston (near Framlingham). It is abundant with wildlife including barn owls, stoats and the occasional otter patrolling the river.
The site itself is flat, with its own entrance and gate. There are both hardstandings and grass pitches, which makes us accessible in all weather conditions. The site also benefits from additional parking facilities.
Each of the 5 bays has its own electrical point and plenty of space for awnings, as well as stunning views across the valley, overlooking farm meadows and Parham Church. There is also an emptying point, mains water and a dustbin area with a recycling bin available onsite.
We are a dog-friendly site with a number of walks starting directly from outside your door.
Despite not having a WC on the caravan site itself, during shop opening hours there are toilet facilities available for use, which are suitable for baby changing and those with disabilities. Free WiFi is also available at our shop.
The farm shop is only 100 yards away and stocked will all of the local produce you need for your stay including milk, eggs, bread, cakes and biscuits as well as tea, coffee and newspapers. However, if you fancy enjoying your holiday to the full and can't be bothered to cook then that is no problem, as our cafe serves breakfast, lunch and a number of homemade cakes. We also have a number of gifts for you to take back for friends and family.
