So peaceful

We recently returned to Dairy House Farm having moved out of the area. A really friendly welcome from Alan and Bridget, followed by three peaceful nights with some friends. Close to Manningtree and Mistley which have pubs, tea rooms, a wine bar and the obligatory ice cream van along the wall. Excellent cricket club nearby where I have many happy memories. The bird life was in abundance and, sure enough, the barn own made his (her?) appearance as dusk fell. Lovely to be back.

Lovely stay at Dairy House Farm

We recently returned from a very relaxing and peaceful stay at Dairy House Farm. Alan welcomed us and was tremendously helpful in guiding us to a pitch bearing in mind the recent very heavy rainfall. The farm is a working farm, but we were not disturbed at any time with moving farm machinery, We were sited near to a drinking water tap and the chemical toilet facility was easily accessible. We were able to visit many interesting places and enjoyed some lovely walks, Flatford Mill, Dedham, the Stour Valley and The Naze to name a few, which is always great when you have a dog. A very nice CL and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Private, relaxed and peaceful.

We stayed for 3 nights at Dairy House Farm with our motorhome. Our host Bridgett was very helpful and friendly, offering us a hardstanding pitch for our heavy van due to unseasonal rainfall. At the time she was also able to offer accommodation for my brother and his wife for a night at short notice. The CL is very well maintained with electric hook ups for all and plenty of fresh water pipes too. We would not hesitate to return here.

Lovely stay

This is a lovely CL set in beautiful countryside well away from any traffic. Plenty of room for each pitch and gets the sun all day in the spring/summer. Didn't see the owners but went to the house to pay and they seemed friendly enough. Other people on the site said they just left everyone to get on with it themselves but were lovely people and not obtrusive unless you needed help. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

A Heavenly Spot

The approach to this site is down a long private lane through the wheat fields so it turned out to be the ultimate in peace and quiet. The site is beautifully kept although the toilet facilities, which are obviously provided for the farm workers, are a bit basic. It was a joy to walk the dog as there is no traffic close to the site and the views are amazing. The village shop is very friendly and has all the necessaries and we had a great meal in The Village Maid where we were able to use the free wifi. This site is a perfect stop for the ferries at Harwich and Mr Whitworth is charming and helpful without being obtrusive.

Lovely site for a few days of peace & quiet.

A great site to stay for a few nights to chill out & recharge your batteries. Basic facilities, not a problem when you have your own in the caravan. Excellent value for money, with elec included. Only five pitches so, well spaced out. Wrabness Nature Reserve & Flatford Mill are well worth a visit from here.

A good, no-nonsense CL

Handy for Harwich and the seaside resorts of Clacton and Frinton. Easy to find although I recommend approaching on the shorter access road as there is limited passing space. Two hard standing pitches on 'wasteland' with water point and ehu points. Grass pitches offer several options on where to pitch and most are flat. Toilet is best described as a traditional 'netty' in an outside building [we had to take our own toilet paper]. Pleasant owners who let you enjoy your time. Plenty of wildlife on site, especially birds.

Quiet and peaceful site

This is a lovely site, the owners are unobtrusive nice people and as others have said you may think you have the field to yourself as due to the shape it can hide at least three pitches from sight. As it is a grass it can get rather wet, but what do you expect in England; there are two hard standings if you doe not think you have the traction to pull your van off a wet field. The toilet is basic and if that is what you expect (and take your own loo roll with you) it is dry warm and good hot water. On this site you can enjoy the wildlife with peace and quiet. The nearest pub, the Village Maid in Bradfield does nice and expensive food.

A Nice Site

A very peaceful site. Easy access to and from the site even with a T/A and room to manoeuvre on site. The toilet and washing facilities are very basic but as we use our own onboard facilities it wasn't a problem. Had a very nice meal in The Cross Inn pub at Horsley Cross. There is a large coop in Manningtree town. From there you can walk along the river to Flatford Mill. Didn't see the owner until we knocked at the house to settle up before we went, but that doesn't bother us. The site is well off the road down a farm track so it felt quite secure as the only passing traffic was to the farm house which is also a B & B although part of the site is hidden from view from the track.
