Why stay here ...

The Stables CL is a large family run site in the grounds of our home, located in the meadow in front of our newly renovated cottage with beautiful views across the fields, where you can enjoy peace and quiet and a restful stay. There is plenty of wildlife to be seen including deer, owls and in season the swallows to name but a few.

We are open all year round and welcome well behaved dogs and children.

Our large, flat pitches positioned in the old paddocks all have full services including 16amp hook-up, water tap and grey water drains.

Onsite we have chemical waste disposal point, refuse and recycling points, a visitor information board and a washing machine available upon request. 

We are conveniently located in the quiet village of Forncett St Peter which provides a central location from which to explore all the unspoilt beauty that Norfolk has to offer. The Norfolk Broads, famous for the wonderful sand beaches and coastline, the City of Norwich with it’s historic castle, Thetford Forest and the market towns of Wymondham, Diss and Harleston are just a sample of what a holiday in Norfolk has to offer and can be accessed easily from The Stables.

We are very fortunate to have multiple public footpaths in each direction from the site and an abundance of country roads for a leisurely bike ride or keen cyclists among you.

We are a short walk from the local pub ’The Jolly Farmers’ 3/4 mile with ‘The Boars’ in Spooner Row; both offering quality ale and delicious food. Our local shop in Bunwell is 2 miles away, with Days Garage and Fuel Station, and Supermarkets, Train Station, The Abbey and Market town in Wymondham 5 miles everything is close at hand.

Advanced booking required. For further information please call or email and join us in the Norfolk countryside where a warm welcome is assured and for the start of what we hope will be many visits.

Perfection!

The Stables
I almost don't want to review this site because I may not get booked in next time! An immaculate site, so well maintained, with a shower and toilet facility to match. Lots of space for each fully serviced pitch and a fabulous field to run the dogs. Paul and Sue are excellent hosts and clearly love their little piece of paradise. I stayed 11 nights and the weather was pretty much wet all the time, but driving up to the caravan after a day's exploring felt like coming back home. I chose this site due to its proximity to commitments I had each weekend, but it was the perfect base for exploring different parts of the Broads each day. I would definitely stay again.

What a gem of a site

The Stables
Other CLs should look at this site for how to do a CL properly. Good communication from start to finish. Welcomed on arrival and shown where everything was. Lovely spacious pitches in an enormous well kept field. Each pitch has EHU, water and waste which us shears a bonus. The grass is nice and short and the cuttings are picked up so no grass all over the van. A huge off lead dog walk area adjacent to the site. Lovely and peaceful with nice quiet lanes to go for a walk. We will definitely return and recommend

A little gem of a CL

The Stables
What a fabulous CL The Stables is. Beautifully kept grounds with lots of space between us. Serviced pitch and a superb, warm, shower and toilet for our exclusive use. We were alone a lot of the time as it was November but the site is so quiet as surrounded by countryside. Our neighbours were resident Little owls and pheasants that were roaming around. Sue welcomed us on arrival day and explained what was around for us to visit. We had a little issue with surface water around the van due to an excess of rainfall, but it was soon sorted. Paul visited us on our last day as he'd been out all week with work, but both Sue and Paul were fabulous hosts and we will definitely visit again. Keep up the great work Sue & Paul!

Wonderful CL

The Stables
Just spent 16 days at this fantastic CL all fully serviced pitches but the shower and toilet facilties on the site are hotel quality, regularly cleaned and checked. The site itself is beautifully maintained with well cut grass and all the cuttings are collected so non of the cut grass getting into the caravan - a big bonus for us. There is lot of wildlife around the site, including an owl. Overall a brilliant and fantastic CL with a reasonable price tag. Thank you to Paul, Sue and ise for looking after us, and thank you to Geoff and Lynn who did a sterling job whilst the owners had a short break. Love this site, we will be back.
