Total Relax

We have just spent the weekend at Jackala. Nest, well kept site. Maryann friendly and informative. So peaceful. There was 4 Motorhome’s in our group and we were able to park all facing in so we could all sit in the middle and it was perfect. Lovely walks and bike rides. Marina is pretty and has places to eat and drink but check opening times. The oldest church in England is only about 10 minute walk and is worth visiting. One mile to the pub which is dog friendly. The surrounding lanes are very quiet so very safe bike riding. We all felt very comfortable and welcome here and will return.

Perfect, Just what we needed!

I should start by saying this is the first 10 day holiday we have had in about 5 years. It was really important we found somewhere quiet, with good access to cycling to enable us to relax and have bbqs. This site had it all, Maryann is a brilliant host, nothing too much trouble for her, she has a great local knowledge has a very professional clean and tidy site. We were so lucky, it was everything we hoped it would be and the weather was kind to us to. If you are looking for a slice of heaven you will find it at Jackala. Well done Maryann, we have had a fantastic break staying with you and would highly recommend your fantastic CL site.

Campervan 2 night stay

Very welcoming, a handout given on arrival with lots of information, very useful. As the site information says, lots of local walks, cycling from the site very straightforward. Village nearby. I was only staying a couple of nights, but would happily stay longer if in the area again. Facilities all good, as often on a CL, some Heath Robinson approaches! I was the only van for my 2 nights, but no reason to think it wouldn't be peaceful if full. Slightly more expensive than most CLs, but relatively new, very tidy and well kept. Would recommend.

Exactly what I expect from a CL

This CL is relatively new and exactly what I expect from a CL. The vans are sited on a grass field with horses in the neighbouring fields. Water, waste etc are all close by. The owners are friendly and welcoming. Electricity has 10 units per day included in price and further units are currently 30p (we didn’t need any more). Nearby are two lovely pubs sadly a third even closer is currently closed. One day We enjoyed a great 6m circular walk along the sea wall from St Peter’s round to the marina and back through the village, and on another we cycled down to Burnham on crouch (25 miles mainly flat). Maldon is also close by. All in all a great holiday

A peaceful retreat

We were made very welcome by Maryann and Ralph at this quiet peaceful site. Prior to our visit they had just installed electric meters for each pitch. Ten units were included in the pitch price and anything used above this is to be paid for by inserting pound coins into the meter. We had not come across this before but understand it is a fair system to charge for what you use as we all only too aware of the increased costs at the moment. We had no idea how much we would use and so both Maryann and ourselves were interested to know what are usage was. On both nights we stayed we used about 8 units so there was no extra for us to pay. To put this into context for comparison purposes we have a vw campervan and used the electric for our small fan heater, to run the fridge and to charge our devices. During our stay we enjoyed the 61/2 mile circular walk from the site which took in the Anglo-Saxon church of St Peter’s, the lovely shell beach, the abundance of wading birds and geese along the salt marsh and estuary as well as the marina and pretty village of Bradwell on Sea. We also visited Burnham on Crouch which was well worth a visit for its individual shops, eateries and walk along the sea wall. All in all it was good to visit an area of the country that we had not visited before.

Peaceful CL

This new CL is very peaceful, good walks, with sun rises & sun sets viewed on site.Maryanne has done well to get this CL setup, only thing is you mite need extra long electric lead as sockets are near entrance to site. Maryanne did have a extra lead but this was taken. Maryanne supplies you a leaflet with all the needs to help you explore the area.

It will be our go back to

Just returned from our second visit to Jackala, and we know we will be back. Maryanne is very welcolming and helpful of the local area. Electrical hook up is available which we haven't had an issue accessing The site itself is very peaceful surrounded by farmland, horses are in the field next to the touring field which are so peaceful to watch. The walk to St Peters church is a must and Bradwell marina is a beautiful place to visit. Both of our visits have been extremely relaxing and I'm already looking forward to our next visit.

Fabulous site.

What a brilliant gem of a site, we have been on many CL sites all over the country and this has to rate as one of the best. True it is a brand new site but we are sure that if they keep up the standard of welcome they gave to us them Maryann and Ralph will soon have a booming business, and they certainly deserve it. We had a couple of disasters whilst there - the awning blew up and over the motorhome, detaching itself at the same time and causing a fair amount of damage. Maryann and Ralph did us a MASSIVE favour by getting rid of the damaged awning for us so we didn't have that problem. And then the fridge packed up and they offered to let us use their fridge, an amazing gesture. So thank you guys for a fabulous stay and it was a great pleasure chatting with you. Good luck for the future and we WILL see you again.

A quiet and well kept CL .

We enjoyed a quiet weekend away here ,very well kept and easy to find and use services. The owner was extremely welcoming and helpful during our stay and set in an unspoilt area with plenty of interest to see.

This must be one of our most favourite CL's.

This must be one of our most favourite CL's. You could not wish for a more beautiful and peaceful spot. Maryanne is a great host, providing a welcome pack with lots of local information. She would give you a cheery hello and wave whenever she saw you. The site is very flat and tranquil, with wildlife all aroud but so so quite at night. We did a circular walk through a local farm to the seawall round to St Peter's Chapel one of the oldest churches in UK. Local pub just 10 mins walk from the site or you can use the clubhouse of the neighbouring caravan site who also serve breakfast. Bradwell Marina is a little further away around 40 mins walk. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and will visit again early September.
