Practical, quiet site in great location

This site was perfect for us, a campervan with own facilities. With only five spaces, it manages to provide water, cassette disposal, EHU and bins. Loos are available when the pub's open. £20 might seem steep for a pub carpark extension (the site is set above the small carpark itself) but we thought it was good value for this area. We enjoyed a road cycle into Aldeburgh (check out the unassuming Chocolate Teapot Cafe for sandwiches and scones) and lovely beach walks to Thorpeness (on pebbles) and the bird reserve (on beach paths). Very close proximity to the power station added interest rather than hassle. The view and simplicity of the grass setting, plus its position near a road, might not appeal to all but we had no noise problems (including no pub noise when we were tucked up early on Saturday night) and liked the laid-back feel. The Vulcan Arms itself is a straightforward, traditional pub. We paid there on arrival, ate decent food on Friday night and enjoyed very friendly service and free live music from 9pm (an enthusiastic band was playing vintage classics when we were there). The cafe on the beach just round the corner also does a mean breakfast. We would go back.
