A Personal Favourite

We have stayed at this site several times and it's one of our favourites. It is set in a meadow behind the owners property which has very tall conifers on two sides with hedging on third looking out onto farm land and the fourth side is fenced / hedged partly bordering a non intrusive residential property. Site is secure with access via code entry gates. There is a dividing hedgerow in the middle of the site splitting it into approx. 2 equal parts, the upper part having 3 beautiful mature trees in the centre which is where we like to pitch. The grass has always been well cut when we have been there. The site is very quiet and we love to wake up to the chorus of bird song in the summer <(“) The owners are very friendly and flexible on leaving time when possible. Price per night is very reasonable and so are facilities. We really like the village of Finningham with it‘s lovely church and it’s an easy and lovely walk from site through churchyard and across green to the White Horse Pub which is a locals pub but if you can chat to strangers will find to be very friendly (Lorna is the land lady) but don’t think they do hot food! The nearby (3 miles?) Four Horseshoes at Thornham is a very picturesque pub with great beer & food….this is a must for us. A place to visit nearby is the fantastic town of Bury St Edmunds with it’s Cathedral, beautiful parks and it’s old & new shopping centre. We will be back :-)

A Favourite CL

My wife and I have been members of the Caravan The Club for 39 years, and have stayed on many Cls over the years. We first visited this site at the very beginning of our caravanning life, and this CL remains our favourite. It is fairly level,and is kept well mown. The surrounding trees make it very secluded and protected from high winds etc., the chemical disposal and waste water point is well appointed and screened from the site, the rubbish point is near the entrance and allows for all recycling etc. The electric hook-ups are well placed to allow plenty of space between vans. The site is within easy driving distance of Bury St Edmunds, Norwich, the Suffolk coast,and all the historic and picturesque villages wich abound in the area . We have recommended this site to many friends and acquaintances and have always had very good feedback. We therefore highly recommend this delightful site to all Caravan Club Members.

never again

When we arrived we were not sure how to get in signs should have been removed from old days  We visited this site years ago and it was good then ,but not now the other caravaner said he had to wait for grass to be cut,the recycling was disgraceful ,about 30 bottles on ground before getting to bins which were covered in bird poo,and the toilet emptying wont discuss that,what a shame .

 

Message from The Club:

Fair site fee

We stayed for a long weekend arriving Friday leaving Monday which was when we heard our first bit of traffic always a plus point.The welcome is good & site is very pleasant.Entrance is gated but set well back from the road & with wide easy access.Good space between pitches & a large site for a CL. Local pub a 5 min walk over the stream past the church & over the green (no food) but nice welcome, you need to go to Thornham Magna Four Horseshoes 10 min in the car for good food. A number of bridleways & footpaths for those with a four legged friend. Yes well worth the site fee.

A Fortnight in Finningham

We stayed at this delightful CL for two weeks in August 2014. The site is large being split into two separate parts divided by a line of trees giving privacy and a pleasant outlook. Sonia and Kevin are very friendly,helpful and a thoroughly nice couple. Finningham is a pretty, quiet village with a local pub and a mile bike ride away is a fantastic village shop at Gislingham.

Fantastic CL - On my favourite list!

Aug 2014 Great CL which is level with easy access and is very well kept. Site has two halves separated by tall hedging & has mature trees and hedging on boundary, farmland is on 2 sides. It is a lovely location and very peaceful with some occasional but not intrusive train noise. Owner is very friendly. Great walk to White Horse pub (10 minutes) turning right out of drive, then left down lane thru church yard following road to junction where your turn right to end of road, landlords are very friendly but were new & not doing food at time of visit. Take time to visit Four Horseshoes Pub at Thornham Magna (chocolate box type about 3 miles away) great beer & food! This CL is on my favourites list! :o)

Happy Days

We stayed at this site over Easter 2014. This is a secure, level, peaceful, close mown site, surrounded by mature trees and hedges. The site is large and divided into two with a row of trees, plenty of room so as not to be on top of other caravans. There is occasional train noise but after a day you do not notice it. The site is tucked away near a small village behind the owners home. Water and toilet emptying facilities are easily accessed. The owners are pleasant and helpful. The site fee is now £10 a night but still good value, although the website shows £9.

Peaceful CL

We spent 4 nights at this CL over the August Bank Holiday Weekend. It is a lovely CL, lots of space in 2 areas, the grass was cut short and had been collected up. The site is surrounded by trees with lots of birds to watch. Very clean and so peaceful, it is set back behind the owners property and has a locked gate making this a very secure CL set in the lovely Suffolk countryside. Electric, water and chemi emptying point all for £9 a night. A delightful stay we will return.
