Why stay here ...
We give everyone a very warm welcome to our lovely CL site which is right on the borders of 3 counties: Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Essex.
We have beautiful views and wonderful sunsets. The site is on a working farm looking over fields. There will be some noise and country smells but this is to be expected on a working farm and we do our best to keep it to the minimum.
There are lovely countryside walks in the area and 'The Three Horseshoes' A community owned pub has just opened. It is within a mile from the site and is very popular.........booking in advance is advised.
2 Miles away is Steeple Bumpstead, with a petrol station and well stocked shop, and the town of Haverhill is only 3 miles away.
Visit Cambridge with its museums and Colleges and take a punt on the river. The IWM Duxford wows with airshows on various weekends throughout the year. Have a little retail therapy at the outlet village at Freeport, Braintree. Or visit some of the beautiful villages and market towns

2 Nights
Slate Hall
The site has 10 numbered pitches, half are well spaced grass and half are less well spaced hard standing. We were required to phone in advance to obtain our pitch number. The large square site is surrounded on 2 sides by high conifers and on 2 sides by the high popular trees seen in the photos which along with a barn filled high with straw bales and a large trailer restricts visibility of the surrounding countryside. The photos suggest a pronounced slope to the site which is not the case. TV reception is reported as 'fair' but we found it good with our omnidirectional aerial. The reported ‘information room’ is a small basket adjacent to the shower with a handful of leaflets in it. The only local leaflet was a map of walks around Helion Bumstead produced by the parish council which was a blow up of the 1:25k OS map. There appeared to be 4 village pubs within an hour’s walk but only the Fox & Hounds at Steeple Bumpstead (45 mins) was open for lunch. The closest pub in Hellion Bumpstead is a community pub with limited opening. Steeple Bumpstead is much larger and has a Jet petrol station that doubles up as a convenience store and post office. We took our motorhome to the Tesco supermarket in the town of Haverhill. Had we stayed longer we might have caught the bus from Hellion Bumpstead to Haverhill in one direction or Saffron Waldon in the other. Bus times are shown at the bus stops in Hellion Bumpstead. We only stayed two nights but the impression we gained is that if we had stayed longer we would have run out of things to do without driving somewhere. During the day there was some farmyard (incl. pig) and aircraft noise but it didn't trouble us on what we considered to be a quiet site. Slate Hall farm includes caravan and motorhome storage.
Great Stay
Slate Hall
Stayed here for one evening and had a fantastic time. Communication was excellent and the site has great views over fields especially on pitches 1&2. It is a working pig farm but this was no bother all. The owners even kindly let us stay till later in the afternoon on departure. We shall return 😀
Lovely clean site with good facilities and warm welcome
Slate Hall
We were pleasantly surprised when we stayed for 3 nights last week. A friendly welcome and clean toilet and shower (which costs 50p but have reasonable amount of time). As a working farm we did expect some noise and were slightly concerned over a previous review regarding smell, however we didnt encounter any smell or other major issues and would stay here again. Large well kept field with tree coverage on perimeter, well spaced out pitch. Thanks

This is a working farm!!!
Slate Hall
We have recently spent a few nights at this site.
The welcome was friendly and the couple were very helpful.
The site is flat and grass cut and collected, and the caravans well spaced out.
It is a working farm and the farmer started work at 5.30 every morning we were there using, machinery that woke us up.
The caravans are not far from the sheds and barn and that is where he seemed to be.
Also for all we could see sheep in the field near the caravan but most days all we could smell was pigs. The smell didn't seem to stop some people sitting out, but we found it overpowering. I know it is a farm, and farms have smells, and have learnt that next time we stay on a farm we will find out what type.

Truly wonderful stay
Slate Hall
The site is so much more than expected, we were truly amazed at the amount of space each pitch is allocated and the pitches are surrounded by open fields with fabulous views, even though it was raining, not long after we arrived Susan (owners daughter in law) came with Brolly in hand to give us a warm welcome, it was a short visit and we’re off home soon but you can bet we’ll be back, thank you Slate Hall for helping two very worn out key workers relax, hoping it’s not long till we meet again
