Lovely CL Site!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Waterpump CL!! We received a very warm welcome from Sarah shortly after arriving & we were given lots of useful information. The site is very well kept & very well run in a lovely relaxed way. There are beautiful views and walks over the fields & a pub only a short walk away! Perfect! We will be returning & we highly recommend!

Tranquil, spotless and welcoming
Waterpump CL
Very friendly and welcoming owners. Sarah offered advice on best places to go and best walks for dogs. Dog walking from site and off lead paddock available as well. Spotlessly clean and well kept. Convenient for loads of places. We visited Sizewell, Aldeburgh, Saxmundham and Framlingham. Indian takeaway delivered to site was a bonus. We will return.

Lovely CL site!
Waterpump CL
Managed to book late following a cancellation for 2 nights at Easter. Sarah promptly sent through booking confirmation and helpful info. The site itself is immaculate, peaceful and is in a lovely setting, having a footpath to the local pub from the site was a bonus too!
We will definitely stay here again.
