Berberis House

Why stay here ...

Berberis House CL is run by Dave & Irene and is located on our seven acre site that has been laid out with footpaths and planted to attract very many different species of wild life, including our resident barn owls.

We provide leaflets specifically covering places to visit in the local area, including many popular flower nurseries and the picturesque market town of Spalding, offering good shopping and gourmet restaurants. A water taxi connects the town to the Springfield shopping outlet.

Our nearby village of Sutton St James is an easy walk and supports a convenience store, a butchers’, a village pub, a garage with filling station and a gun shop. The pub also serves excellent food.

We are convenient for the Wash and only a 40 minute drive from Sandringham and the popular Norfolk coastline. We are also just 15 minutes drive from the National Trust Peckover House, in Wisbech, where Irene is a guide and Dave keeps some bee hives in the magnificent gardens.

If you prefer to cycle or walk, then the flat Fenland topography, with its big open sky’s, is ideal for you. Many members return time after time, just to sit and relax in our secluded owl box enclosure.

Coarse fishing is available nearby and is a popular attraction.

At the opposite end to our CL site, we have another field that is dedicated to organized rallies holding a Certificate of Exemption.

For the remote aeroplane enthusiasts, there is an airstrip, just before the rally pitch, where small to medium, electric powered planes may be flown. Participants must hold their own public liability insurance with the BMFA.

We are commercial beekeepers and our honey, both locally and other various parts of the country is available to buy. Home grown fruit and vegetables are also seasonally available.
