Situated a 2 minute walk from the river Waveney and central to Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and the market town of Beccles.

You have electric hook up, fresh water and waste disposal and best of all the most beautiful views over the surrounding grazing paddocks. The site is dog friendly and children free with no restriction on caravan size.

Overlooking a traditional and old-fashioned farm which is entirely occupied by Hillside Animal Sanctuary and flanked by the river Waveney on one side and woodland on the other.

Right next door to Priory Farm Restaurant which is locally renowned for good value honest food and just a 2 minute's walk to Norfolk's oldest recorded pub situated on the banks of the river Waveney. Serving traditional Ales and pub grub.

Pizza Wagon is available on Saturdays only during school holidays from 4-8pm.

Disappointing

Priory Farm

Neat campsite and easy to obtain water, find rubbish bin etc. We booked the site as it advised there is an on-site restaurant, bar and pizza pop up evening on a Sunday. The restaurant appears to be permanently closed now……. The Sunday pizza event never appeared. Fortunately there is a pub within walking distance as we hadn’t taken much in the way of food therefore ate at the pub! As to the advertised walks from sure the trails were shoulder high over grown. You’d need a machete & lots of insect spray to undertake them! Fortunately we were only there two nights. You definitely need a car or transport to go somewhere unless you just want to sit by your van. Also as others mention there is periodic noise from motor mowers being repaired close by. Noted that planning permission was also being sought for 30 caravan spaces to be created on site. Might be worth checking facilities for future bookings!

Response from the Club:

The CL owner has been in touch as they want to ensure everyone has the best possible time on their CL Site and as such they would like to address your concerns.

The onsite restaurant is temporarily closed as there is a hot water issue but they hope to open again soon. This information is communicated to members when they book and the alternative is a pub where food can be served just a few minutes walk away. As the pub is under the same ownership as the restaurant they are giving our members a 10% off for the inconvenience.

The reference to overgrown hedges, this is a council issue and the CL owner is not responsible for the cutting of grass except on the CL.

The Pizza van is available on Saturdays 4-8pm during school holidays only. This is made clear on the communication that is sent to members (and clarified on their website) so guest are made aware of it. 

The planning permission for 30 vans will be independent to the CL if the CL owner does decide to go ahead with any developments.

Peaceful stay close to the river

Priory Farm
Large field with hook ups mainly on one side of the field. Enjoyed the very short walk to the Bell Pub by the river and hiring a boat from the shop opposite it. Easy bus ride to Great Yarmouth with the bus stop being close by. Delicious pizza from the van that was on site the Saturday we arrived. The restaurant adjoining the site hopefully opening this month. We would definitely stay here again.

Very disappointed.

Priory Farm
We stayed here for 12 nights the site lacked TLC, bin not emptied regularly rubbish was overflowing only one small bin. Never saw owners the whole time we were there. A lawnmower repair business behind our pitch making it very noisy. We were not aware the restaurant had closed recently owing to retirement and the Pizza box was never open either. For £25 a night paid before arrival this is definitely a rip off, have never payed this price before but we thought it looked worth it! Will definitely not return could be so lovely.

Disappointed.

Priory Farm
Although handy for Gt Yarmouth, that's about it. Couldn't find anyone, or where they lived. Spoke to a couple of girls that said they lived in a shed around the corner!! The grass needed mowing. Noise from a yard behind the hedge. No information shed at all. I know eclectic has gone up but not worth the £25 a night at all!! It's basically a field with a high price tag. I know it's a CL use them all the time. Not this one again....

A little disapointed

Fairly quiet except for some road noise, water and waste facilities were good but only one small bin which was overflowing with rubbish. Grass badly in need of a cut, restaurant closed all week we were there, pizza van only open during school holidays. Never saw site owners, will not return.
