Good location & beautifully maintained but unimaginative layout

What we liked: a) good location at centre of Norfolk Broads; b) ability to go on walks and cycling along rivers and to ruined abbey direct from campsite c) site very well maintained and spotlessly clean d) social distancing well managed Room for Improvement: a) design layout of site is without any imagination - just like a green car park; pitch sizes are fine, but there are no trees or hedges - all the pitches are pretty much the same with no variety and no privacy - it did not spoil our enjoyment, but you will definitely not remember this site for it being different or special; (Unfortunately often the case with the Caravan Club - I guess due to origins and history of the Club - you have to go to small privately owned sites to find something really different/ creative/ special in terms of design and layout. The Club wins back points on uniformity and consistency and quality... but that's a debate for another day...) b) this site attracts dog owners/ lovers, not all well behaved, and producing a lot of extra noise (barking, yapping, etc. especially in mornings and evenings - definitely detracts from the peacefulness of the site. Overall very satisfied, would definitely stay here again

Great Location

3rd time at this site and still love it! The staff are always smiling and work hard to keep the grounds looking immaculate. Great location for tourist attractions, hire a boat it’s a great day out, Ludham bridge is a short walk away with a cafe for takeaway or eating in. The butchers in Ludham village is great and reasonably priced. We’ll be back again I’m sure!

Beautiful Place, fantastic location and lovely site, spoilt by noisy neighbours

Went here for 4 day break last week in July, fantastic location, close to the beach, some fantastic areas for bike roads, lots of back roads to avoid the traffic. The village of Horning has an amazing Marina where the Southern Comfort paddle steamer is located, £9 per adult, dogs go free, 90 minute tour of some of the broads, bar on board for a nice pint or G & T as you gently paddle along. The weather was fantastic and the site very pleasant, the only thing that spoilt the last afternoon and evening was 2 families in caravans who thought it was OK for their kids plus others from the site to scream, shout, ride their bikes right next to my motorhome on my pitch, throwing buckets of water (including the dad), went on all day, at 20.45 we very politely asked if they would mind calming down only to be met by a torrent of abuse, threatening and aggressive behaviour and basically "mind your own business, cos we is on holiday and our kids can play and scream all day and all night", in the end they finally began to calm down but make it clear that on the Sunday they would be raising a racket, i didn't care because it was our last evening. The lady opposite left that day having had enough, even though they had paid for 7 days, the noise and general behaviour was too much, the very nice people on the opposite side of our pitch said they would see how it went but planned to complain to the warden. Interestingly the family on the pitch previous to the 2 other families had also been warned by the warden before we arrived as their children were throwing pitching hammers at each other next to other motorhome's. Unfortunately i have come across this attitude too many times now, some parents believe little johnny and daisy are perfectly entitled to behave as they like, they do not believe it is their responsibility to ensure their children are raised to be considerate to others. To the Club I would ask that all families are made aware that everyone has the right to expect consideration from other members on site, OK thats it rant over.

A gem of a site

This was a lovely site. I stayed in October, so was nice and quiet for me and my 3 dogs. Very close to facilities, a cafe and shop a short walk away, and a pub in the other direction, with pavements to walk on. Very close to the river where there is a footpath to walk on. Not far from Yarmouth and other coastal towns and villages. Will definitely be visiting again.

Wonderful site

We visit this great little gem every year and love it, the wardens bend over backwards even when busy to make your stay great. The added bonus of chickens wandering around were lovely to watch. Also the convenience of catching a bus to Wroxham or Norwich even though only every 2 hours made our stay perfect. Thanks we'll be back.

Thank you for a lovely weekend and see you on 25th

What can I say but the Wardens are so nice kind and good at what they do. ( The ones from Rackheath). We live half hour away and that said this site offers us everything for a relaxing weekend. Outstanding facilities two pubs a fantastic walk from then site across to How Hill and back to Ludham. See you on the 25th October. Tricia and Phil

First time at the Broads site

The site is immaculate and facilities very good and clean. Store just down the road for papers and essentials and close to a nice pub. Plenty of walking and cycling from the site plus a bus that goes to Norwich We will be back!

it's a cracker!

We spent a relaxing week here in mid September 2019. This is a lovely site and it was beautifully maintained. The warden cared-for flowers were abundant and beautiful and there's a pretty, sheltered garden to sit in! There is often road noise during the day but not in the evening and night. We loved the lack of huge overtowering trees often found on and around other club sites - bright, open and sunny suits us. Not a huge lot to do in the area so perhaps more of a relaxing holiday. There's Yarmouth if you have kids - adults by themselves may not find much there to appeal. Nearby beaches are soft sand but not pretty. Some walking nearby. Boat trips may appeal.

A few days in the broads

We spent three days here in September to visit the broads. It’s a busy site and when we arrived there were only a few pitches available. We walked to the local village and visited a country pub which was a pleasant walk over fields. The site itself is spotless and the facilities are kept very clean we must also comment on the beautiful flowers that are near the wardens station, they are stunning. We found all the staff to be very helpful and friendly. As the site isn’t too big we thought it had a nice feel about the place. We also visited Wroxham which is a short drive away, however if you are in a motorhome that isn’t an awful lot in the immediate vicinity to see. We would definitely visit if we were in the area again

Excellent site with friendly helpful wardens

This is one of the most clean and well kept sites we have ever stayed on and all the flower beds/baskets that are everywhere are simply stunning (and that's from an avid gardener) The site was also calm friendly and quiet. Apart from this we would have had a stressful holiday if it hadn't been for the help and understanding of the wardens. Our car broke down on the journey there and we didn't arrive until 9.30pm. Mike was all prepared for us and couldn't have been any more helpful to go out of his way to quietly settle us in. The following day we had a problem with our van and once again Mike came across to see if he could help (he did) On top of this we had problems with leaving which was soon sorted out by the team. We are so grateful to the wardens on this site for making our holiday a happy one! Couldn't recommend this site enough :-)
