Found this site which is only around 40 minutes from home in Norfolk almost by accident and so glad we did. Booking was easily arranged online with Charlotte who was very prompt with her replies. Was a tad sceptical about access having read an older review so came over for a recce one evening. We have a large 8’ wide twin axle caravan and I am extremely particular with it and do not want to take it anywhere where it could be damaged. We also had my (almost 90 year old) parents coming with us in their caravan so needed to ensure a good experience for them as well. The site is accessed off the main road out of Wroxham heading towards the cost, the turn off is good and wide. After a few hundred yards you turn right into Cangate Lane which is a country lane and single track but to be fair there are passing places which may be required if a vehicle comes the other way during the 1/2 mile you will be on it. You then turn right again into the access track for the site, the entrance is good and the track, although a little uneven is well established and firm gravel. It is wide enough for large caravans or motorhomes. The site is then on the left after a few hundred yards with an ok entrance as long as you take care (soft vegetation each side of the opening ensure no damage again). There are of course 5 pitches with 1 at the top and 5 the bottom of a gently sloping site. Pitches 1-3 are the most level and 4 and 5 are still ok to level a twin axle caravan as the owner is happy for you to pitch end on or side on (we pitched side-on on pitch 4). This site is an oasis of typical Norfolk Broadland. The pitches are mown grass (not like a lawn to be fair but quite acceptable and looks onto a wonderful meadow backed by a small wooded area, the flora and fauna is beautiful and very ‘Norfolk Broadland’. There is a water tap in one corner and a recycling/bins/Elsa point in the opposite corner, all very easy to use and clean and tidy. Although only a mile from the main road the site is very peaceful - we were joined by a small deer grazing happily on the edge of the woods on the first evening. The village of Neatishead is around a mile away with a small shop, a wonderful country pub/restaurant (The White Horse), 2 x staithes and a lovely walk via a quiet lane to the Barton Broad board-walk (there is a car-park (ok for motorhomes) and toilet At the start. Charlotte and her family made our stay most enjoyable and were very accommodating and we will definitely be back here and felt it would be good to bring the reviews for the site up to date, Charlotte having taken the running of the site over from her mother for the first time this (challenging) season. Thank you Charlotte.
