Why stay here ...
Mollett's Farm Certificated Location is a family run site on a small working farm in the heart of the Suffolk Heritage Coastal area. The site is well maintained and accessible in all weather conditions and benefits from additional parking facilities. We are easy to find as the entrance is directly off the A12, just before the Aldeburgh turning, however the site is tranquil as it lies well away from the road.
The site is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area either by foot, bicycle or car. We are a short drive from the beautiful towns of Framingham with its medieval castle, Woodbridge, home to the Anglo-Saxon burial ground of Sutton Hoo as well as many other historical buildings of interest and a delightful array of shops and restaurants and the seaside towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh, which is just six mile away, with its world famous concert hall of Snape Maltings just a five minute drive away which also offers a shopping complex and some lovely eateries. So exploring Suffolk's heritage Coast using Mollett's Farm as your base is ideal.
We have lovely local shops and farm shops as well as supermarkets all within easy reach. The local farm shop is a five minute walk across the fields from the site. In addition Farm produce is often available upon request.
The local railway station is in Saxmundham our nearest town, a five minute drive, and goes to Lowestoft, the most easterly point in the UK and gateway to the Broads as well as providing easy access to Ipswich our county town.
The Latitude Festival on the Henham Estate in July is also within easy reach. Aldeburgh, the home of the composer Benjamin Britten, also hosts numerous musical events throughout the year.
Locally there are many restaurants and pubs in the surrounding towns and villages as well as numerous other historical sites and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Mollett's Farm Certified Location is within easy reach of Minsmere (RSPB) and Orford (National Trust) nature reserves. If you are a dog owner and lover then there are lovely walks up at Dunwich as well as round the Maltings, indeed it is walking distance from the site across beautiful countryside.
With a packed calendar of events in Suffolk throughout the year there is something to please everyone.
Car charging available on site at a cost (see pricing notes) also available at Co-op, Wickham Market (7 kW Fast Charger).

Wasn’t expecting this…
Mollett's Farm CL
Just spent 10 days at this site covering two weekends. Arrived on the Friday and all well and good. At 5.45am on the 1st Saturday morning we were woken by car engines, voices and laughter. This went on for around 30 mins or so before falling silent again. Later on that day two pick up type vehicles pulled up and occupants got out all dressed in hunting attire. They proceeded to take 2 deer out of one the vehicles and laid them on the floor of the carpark for everyone to see. One of them then proceeded to cut the head from one of the animals, again right in front of anyone who was about. We couldn’t watch and turned away. Now this is not an adults only site and we could quite easily of had our grandchildren with us who would have been absolutely horrified to have seen such an event. The following weekend got even worse. This time we were woken at 5.15am again with engines running, loud voices and laughter, with even a couple of toots on the car horn. No consideration for anyone staying or living on site..very selfish people. They brought 5 deer back from their trip out and laid them out 20m or so from our windscreen. They were all congratulating and hugging each other on their days work. More heads were cut off from the animals and they even skinned one of the unfortunate victims on site too. Disgusting and barbaric to have to witness this..there were others staying on site in holiday lets, but not sure if anyone else were as unfortunate us to have witnessed it like we did. There was another motorhome staying for the second weekend, but luckily for them they went out for day and missed those horrible practices, but were disturbed by their morning antics which they wasn’t very happy about at all. I did let the farmer/owner know what we had seen but, it didn’t seem like an urgency to him to do anything about it? Hasten to add, we will never return to this site ever. I have had to write this review just to warn other, unsuspecting people thinking of staying here during the hunting season, you may want to think again.
Peaceful CL

Just had 4 nights at Mollets Farm. A nicely situated CL with basic but very adequate facilities. Access is easy but the A12 is a very busy road. The CL is well away from the road so noise is not a problem.
We didn’t see the owner but telephone contact was very pleasant and helpful. The payment system and information supplied on line was excellent and wifi was very good.
Nice Site and nice area
Mollett's Farm CL
We have just returned from a long weekend at Mollett’s Farm and enjoyed the experience as much as we have done on previous visits over recent years. The site itself is nicely self contained, surrounded by hedges, but with good views of the adjacent countryside. It is close to Aldeburgh and there is a superb farm shop and cafe within walking distance of the site.
This is indeed a lovely area of Suffolk and there is always something new to see or visit. Lots of different breeds of chickens to look at on the site as well! Great place!
Good site.

Easy access for caravans, but well away from main road. Well kept site and helpful, friendly owners.

We Will Definately Return
Mollett's Farm CL
We can’t believe we haven’t stayed at this site before now, how have we missed it ? It is everything we like about a CL site, along a long driveway off the A12, set back in it’s own spacious space with walks from site, we chose the well worn paths straight from site that really were quite easy to navigate on foot and kind of obvious to walk on those routes rather than the ploughed fields (we left those for the tractors). We knew there were no showers or toilets on site because it clearly states so in the information at the time of looking to book but that’s ok, we use our facilities on board anyway and especially more so since the pandemic, we just feel it’s safer. The toilet emptying was straight down a pipe (perfect) though we did worry about maybe a hedgehog accidentally meeting it’s fate down same hole, so maybe a little bit of mesh over the top might be an idea ? Two big wheelie bins emptied by the refuse collectors (perfect - no unsightly rubbish heaping up). The fresh water tap well away from the toilet emptying (perfect - not always this set up on CLs’ we stay at). The owner was friendly, polite and helpful at the time of booking as if nothing was too much trouble (perfect - as there really are some grumpy CL owners who answer the phone but not so here). We were told to just turn up, find our space and that they’d find us. Well, we like it that way, in fact we feel that so long as the owners leave clear information on site as to site rules with a phone number incase we needed to contact them then that’s ok. At Molletts the owners have done just that and so really, it wouldn’t matter if you never did see them because everything you need to know is on the board. However, during our stay the owners did come on site to greet guests several times with information about the site etc. We missed them (late risers) so called at the farm house with our payment and again, very pleasant. We didn’t see the owner’S wife but that wasn’t the end of the world, perhaps she’s wasn’t there or maybe we missed her at the times she came on site. So overall we really did enjoy our stay at Molletts and will be back. :-)
