Easy access to a lovely place to stay.

Easy to find and very friendly owners, basic site but very quiet and spacious. Easy access to the broads and laundry, shops, marina etc. Dog agility course next door plus plenty of nice places to walk a dog. Feel much less commercial than the other holiday campsites nearby.
