We have always wanted to visit this area, in particular Southwold and were far from disappointed. Site is well situated to visit places. The local buses are frequent, and go to Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth, Southwold amongst others. The site is split, beach side and main site. Can walk through the beach side to get to promenade and beach. The road between both sites is ok, not that busy but we did notice more traffic one evening, and whilst out exploring we discovered why - a large holiday park at the end of the cul-de-sac. No noise and far enough away. Facilities were great, showers best we have used on site, washing up facilities is a room and it's warm, compared to some sites where you feel you are open to the elements. Dog walk is very small, however, it is adequate for first thing in the morning and last thing at night constitutions. You cannot complain when you have a prom and beach yards away. We were pitched just down from the main toilet block, by a fence. When the weather was slightly warmer, we noticed a smell behind the fence, there are drainage ditches there but the smell was more sewage like, and whilst out walking one day we discovered directly behind the site is a large sewage works and smaller one even closer. In hot weather no doubt it would be even more unpleasant. Wardens very nice. Fish and chip van on site on Friday evening. Nothing much to do near the site, but that is great as not touristy so nice to have evening walks. Great tea room along the main road in. Very popular. A visit to Southwold is a must. It is very popular, so arriving early and parking up along the front for free is best idea. Lovely pier to walk along, and dogs allowed on. Lovely walks along to the main town. This part of England gets very windy, but you can live with that when the area is so nice. Great site, wonderful area - we will definitely be returning. Very popular site for dogs, and so clean you wouldn't know so many dogs were there. Our dog loved it.
