Thank you Deenie for a fantastic week.

Deenie took me in for a week at short notice 22nd - 29th September 2024. I loved my week stay here with my Border Collie. Fantastic walks around the site. Best Elsan waste I've ever seen. Shower, toilet room absolutely clean. I feel tight for marking a 3 for peace and tranquility. A camper van came for 1 night they was on Pitch 1 and I'm on 3. Could hear the television in my own caravan. It went on till midnight. Other than that I've had a blast and will definitely be returning. Things I've seen on site. Muntjacks, Foxes, Deer and Badger. I was hoping to add a clip of the badger, fox and deer but don't think we can anymore on this camc app it's pretty poor considering everyone wants to send pictures and video these days.

A great site

We regretted not booking for longer than 3 nights as this CL is a really nice site and good VfM at £20 including 16A EHU. Bags of space with each pitch and the access route on carefully mown grass and the rest of the grass between and in front of the pitches left to grow naturally. Lovely peaceful views and walks around the fields. A simple but clean shower, toilet and information room which includes bus timetables and information about the site and area. We walked in and out of Bury St Edmonds which was tiring but delightful along the River Lark. The Abbey Gardens were particularly good as was the ice cream. The bus caught near the site made much quicker work of it which we used with a short bus connection to Horringer and 15 min walk to visit NT Ickworth. The NT website includes a bus App showing how it’s done. The return bus stop in Horringer is out of sight just beyond Meadow Drive with the shelter tucked into the hedge. We walked from the CL to the excellent Fullers Mill Garden which straddles the River Lark, is open on Wednesday afternoons and Friday to Sunday and has refreshments. A couple of the paths were a bit overgrown so we walked back on the road which was OK and took about an hour. It would have been an easy bike ride. We were blessed with good weather during our stay and hope to return to see more of Bury St Edmonds.

Excellent site. Very easy access from the A14. Good views and plenty of interest on the site, including horses and a barn owl flying at dusk. Pleasant riverside walk from the site. Good bus service to Bury which is a very pleasant and interesting town, and has a train station to easily visit Ely, Ipswich and Cambridge. Easy journeys to Ickworth National Trust property and Lakenheath Fen RSPB reserve. Friendly owner. Site was full in mid-April every night except one for a week, so book early. Large site though with well spaced pitches so did not feel crowded.

Great CL for Bury St Edmunds

Arrived and name and pitch number on board then shortly after arrival, lovely owner popped across to welcome and explain everything. Very pretty surroundings and a tidy site, with clean facilities. Great walks nearby and short walk to local village, to get bus into Bury St Edmunds to see see the sights and have drink/meal (which we did)! Will be back, as an ideal CL

Beautiful scenery

We had a lovely 2 night stay and wished we had longer. The site is incredibly peaceful with beautiful views of horses grazing along the riverside meadows. We had a slightly challenging drive in to Mill Road as the Sat Nav took us to the wrong end of Mill Road which is a dead end due to the bridge falling down in 1991! We had to reverse back up the road and drive a further 3 miles round and enter Mill Road from the other end. Once there we were met by Deenie who explained where all the amenities are and she also told us about some lovely walks. The shower and toilet was very well kept, with lots of info leaflets available too. The pitches are assigned to you, they are all spacious and all have the lovely views. We would definitely like to visit again.

Perfect

No other words for it. The best CL we have stayed on (and I've been caravanning since I was born 50 years ago). Pitches are well spaced out with wild grass marking them out. All amenities close to hand. Hosts were tremendous, our pitch number was waiting on the baord when we arrived. Working farm meant that some fresh, free range eggs were available to purchase. Cant wait to go back.

Delightful CL

Stayed on site for 3 nights in June 2022. Wonderful site and location. Owners very welcoming. We have a dog and the walk beside the Lark river, adjacent to site, into Bury over the golf course is really pleasant. Also a walk along river to the 3 Kings pub in Fornham takes about 30 minutes. Shower and toilet on is an site extra bonus.

A lovely small campsite

I stayed at this campsite for 3 nights in September 2021. It is such a nice campsite with 5 pitches cut out in the high grass. Not completely flat but with some manoeuvring very manageable. Lovely view towards the river over a field with horses. Only one toilet and shower but everything was functioning and clean and well thought out. I didn't meet Deenie as she was on holiday herself but we had some telephone contact beforehand due to problems with my campervan and she was lovely and understanding. Instead I had some great chats with Nigel who took the money as well. Lots of information about Mill and site available including a description of a very nice walk to West Stow. Beware, at the end of the path through the Culford School Park the gates are locked. Therefore, just before, go either right, to enter West Stow opposite the church (and go on to West Stow Anglo Saxon Village) or go left around the lake to take a short cut through the woods back to Little Farm and then on to the campsite the way you came. In Henshaw village (10 mins walk) there's a regular bus service 355 to the centre of Bury St Edmunds where I took part in a very interesting guided walk. Would have loved to stay longer and will come back.

Wonderful secluded site

We stayed at Mill Farm for five nights during the last week of October 2020. Well what a lovely site, it was so tranquil we didn't want to leave. We where surrounded by horses munching away and we counted twelve Little Egrets in the fields keeping the horses company. We did see a hare on the first morning and numerous pheasants too. Deenie was delightful and suggested several places to visit, so we managed Bury St Edmund's Cathedral, The Abbey Gardens, Lavenham and Long Medford, Lackford Nature Reserve and West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village. Although we had wet weather the pitches were not water logged as they were drained by the light sandy soil, EHU, water and waste were great. For most of the week we were there on our own on site so it was heavenly to sit and watch the dusk fall and hear owls in the distance. Thank you to Deenie and Philip for letting us share their home for just a short while.

A great find for Hengrave Hall

We stayed at Mill Farm for three nights in August 2019 for a wedding (not mine) at Hengrave Hall, which is only a few minutes drive away and really glad we stayed at the farm. If you travel using the A14, it is really easy to get too and the site is actually sign posted from the A1101. Access to the site is easy and identifiable by looking out for the yellow plough. The owners allocate the pitches and these are displayed on a chalk board which is visible upon entry. The pitches have plenty of space and each of an EHU hookup. We where on pitch two and was slightly slopping but nothing a ramp couldn't solve. Although it is a working farm, it is very peaceful and the pitches have a view of the horses. The toilet and shower facilities are clean and modern and there are plenty of leaflets for local places to visit as well as a folder containing information and history of the farm. After settling in, we where met bye Deenie who was nice and friendly and collected our payment, £45 for three nights is really good :-). We are a couple of meals at The Three Kings which was no more than 5 minutes drive away in Fornham All Saints and is also dog friendly and served fantastic food. We hope to visit the again so we can see more of the picturesque area and hopefully have a walk along the river.
