Why stay here ...

Black Barn CL opened in 2020, Black Barn CL is a small family run site within the grounds of our home, on the edge of Framlingham in Suffolk (0.7miles).

Black Barn CL is special because it is situated within walking distance (pavement all the way) of a thriving market town, no need to worry about parking or driving home after an evening out. For a small market town, Framlingham has a surprising amount to offer. As well as the Castle on the hill made famous by Ed Sheeran, the town is full of independent shops, cafes, 4 fabulous pubs, antiques, art exhibitions, a Deli jam packed with delicious things to temp you and a choice of beautiful walks around the castle's mere. This spring has also seen the arrival of a new Italian restaurant which has been opened by the broadcaster and food writer Ruth Watson. Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays the town comes alive with its market, offering local food produce, as well as different stalls selling clothing, baskets and plants etc.

We have 5 grass pitches on a ¾ acre plot surrounded by mostly mature hedging and fencing. The pitching area is tucked away from our home at the back of our land and comprises of a mown quarter of an acre field. From June onwards each pitch is separated by long meadow grass. Each pitch has a electric hook up point and will happily take a large awning. The communal waste service point, drinking water, and rubbish bins are situated with easy access close by.

Black Barn CL is an adult only site and welcomes well-behaved adults and young people from 16yrs and above. We do have a young family ourselves which may be seen and heard from a distance in our private garden. We are also a pet-friendly site, but please keep your dogs on leads.

Excellent 👍

Black Barn CL
Excellent site for peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings. Easy 20 mins walk into the lovely village of Framlingham. (With castle worth visiting) We happened to be at the CL on Friday night when the owners do pizza in their own hut...delicious thin based with tasty topping. Would definitely stay again.

A really good CL

Black Barn CL
We were welcomed by Mollie on arrival and she was concerned that, due to the recent heavy rain, we were happy with the site. It was absolutely fine with all the facilities in pristine condition. Framlingham is an easy 20min walk away and the coast a short car trip away. We had 6 nights here and enjoyed every minute. Mollie came over to see us when we left and made sure we were OK during our stay. You couldn't ask for a better host or CL.

A fantastic night's stay!

Black Barn CL
Have just returned from a lovely stay at Black Barn - very close to Framlingham with lots to do. A beautiful picturesque site in lovely surroundings. Mollie was really helpful, sorting out loads of stuff for us. She even organised great weather for the stay! A lovely place and already looking forward to going back!

A gem of a site with lovely owners

Black Barn CL
We spent 2 nights at Black Barn. We loved it from the moment we parked up in our motorhome. Small and friendly. Access to water, grey waste and chemical toilet was very straightforward. Mollie and Richard are super friendly hosts. Being easy walking distance into Framlingham is a real plus, and the reason we booked the site. Dog walking was good - just a quick hop over the road. There is an information point which contains lots of good information about Framlingham, walks and the local area. Fully recommend the site.
