Fishers Field

Why stay here ...

FISHERS FIELD is a tranquil site set on a 6 acre smallholding on the countryside outskirts of a sleepy suffolk village. Adults, children and pets are welcome, with a request that suitable caution is taken when walking near our bee hives - even though they are not anywhere near the site itself. There are 2 hardstandings with the rest of the site laid to grass. A new heated shower block is available for all-year round use, as well as fresh water and chemical disposal facilities.

There is a co-op supermarket, petrol station and good general shopping in leiston, about 2 miles away, and a waitrose in saxmundham at about 4 miles. We will hand out a contact sheet for local doctors, vets, dentists and other useful contact numbers on your arrival - plus there is a local information board highlighting activities as diverse as go-karting and horse-riding. The owners live on site, so are happy to assist if particular information is needed on the area.

We are 3 miles from the world famous minsmere bird sanctuary which was host to "springwatch", and whose details appear on the ceiling of the equally famous local pub "the eels foot"..proud winner of the pub of the year award. Beautiful seaside towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh are short car journeys away. Miles of coastwalks are nearby, and beach fishing, but if relaxation is your preferred holiday - our site is perfect being away from any roads, and tucked into surrounding countryside - as part of the owners 6 acre small-holding.

The Lion, our local village pub is about 300 yards walk away, where fresh food is served and sometimes live music. A new venture for the new landlord is a monday night tasting session of a number of guest beers - not to be missed, or try the "tapas night" if your visit coincides. Plenty to explore.

Our farmer neighbour sells his own meat, and we provide a shopping list on arrival if you wish to buy locally.
