Revisiting Suffolk
Another nice stay
Virtually perfect
The entrance drive could still do with some attention, but wouldn't put us off making a return visit to this attractive and well-maintained level site. There were lambs in the adjacent field and squirrels on the site itself. We had little contact with the owners, though they were perfectly pleasant during what contact there was. Not only are the whereabouts of all services - electricity, water, CCEP, dustbins and recycling - obvious when you arrive on site, but Mr & Mrs Gillett have provided a noticeboard with information about the area and instructions on how to pay. The provision of laminated walks leaflets for members to borrow was a nice touch. A footpath goes through Croft Farm and there are plenty of walking opportunities. However we did little walking during our stay, choosing, rather, to explore the AONB by bicycle using some of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Explorer Guides which can be downloaded from the internet as well as obtained free of charge from TICs and other outlets.
lovely break
Another fine CL

SUPER, QUIET CL, Great scenery -we will be back!!!
This was our first visit to Suffolk and we chose this site after seeing an article in a caravan magazine.
The main CL is well signed and easy to access down a long (bumpy) drive off the main in Aldeburgh Road. The pitching area is large and level, and is protected by a hedge and large trees on two sides of the triangular site. The trees are home to some noisy rooks who cackle loudly throughout the day - but are not a nuisance at night. Otherwise this is a very peaceful and tranquil site.
There is a second pitching area which is again spacious and level - it is a more exposed to the main road and therefore some traffic noise.
The site is within walking (1.25m) distance of Snape Maltings (excellent Farmers Market first saturday of month). The site owner provides details of suggested local walks which visitors can borrow. Much of the surrounding area is flat and the footpaths are on good ground and easily followed. Location of the site is EXCELLENT for visiting nearby places of interest. Southwold, Minsmere RSPB reserve, Sutton Hoo, Flatford Mill, Thorpeness, Dunwich, Aldeburgh and Snape. Good pub in Snape providing very good food. Many excellent tea rooms and cafes in the area for snacks. Public transport passes near to the CL hourly. Provisions for your stay can be bought at several nearby farm shops. Supermarkets are available in Saxmundham (Waitrose / Tesco), Aldeburgh has a Co-op (somewhat expensive!) / Tesco Our visit coincided with some superb weather so we were very lucky. Places to visit on bad weather days are few and far between.
We loved the site and the countryside nearby and will certainly be visiting again in the non-too-distant future. Highly recommended.
