Nice site
We've stayed on this site a couple of times. The facilities are excellent, the only really negative is, its beside a busy B road into Dereham, so there's quite a lot of intrusive road noise.

Lovely site
I found that the welcome pack attached to the booking confirmation email was excellent and informative. Very good detailed instructions for getting to the site. Rachel met us as we drove in and gave us a warm welcome. She explained where everything was located. The site is nice and quiet, just a bit of noise from road nearby but not a problem for us. Local sheep in fields. Pitches were great, plenty of room with water and electric. The toilets and showers were excellent and very clean. There was an honesty box for various sundries and local produce that could be purchased. There was not a designated dog walk on site but managed to walk around a field for most of the week before the electric fences were moved for the sheep to change location, but as our dog is getting on a bit this wasn't a problem. However there was a great site about 3 miles away called Bawdeswell Heath Nature reserve for dogs let off steam.
Overall a great little site and I believe the pitches will be upgraded to hard standing with grass pitch for awnings from November 2021.
Well done John and Rachel.
5 star CL site
This is the best CL site we’ve stayed at. We booked at this site for 4 nights, loved it so much we changed our plans and stayed for 2 more. A brilliant CL site in a beautiful location run by John and Rachel.
A wonderful welcome by them and their 2 lovely daughters made our day after a long drive to get there.
The facilities were superb, very clean and well laid out. A little shop to buy locally sourced products( our son recommends the cookies).
A great base to explore the surrounding areas.
Would definitely recommend and will most definitely be returning to stay again at this gem of a site.😀

Gem of a CL
Great gem of a CL in Norfolk. Peaceful surroundings with superb facilities on site. The owners couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. Spent a few days here whilst visiting relatives and despite the weather had a relaxing time, Hope to go back soon
Perfection!
Well, where do I start? This CL has everything and more. Situated in the peaceful Norfolk countryside close to Dereham, just on the edge of Swanton Morley, it is just wonderful. The grass sites for the caravans are all individually named, and each one has electricity and its own water supply. There is hard standing if required. The facilities are the best I have ever seen. A shower room with toilet and washbasin, which will soon be two rooms with all facilities. A washer/dryer machine was in the process of being installed whilst I was on site.
I have been on many CL sites over the years, and this one is the best one on which I have ever stayed. The wonderful welcome from John and Rachel, and their lovely two daughters, makes it feel like home from home. A small flock of sheep are fenced in on the field where the CL is located. Interesting to watch, but don't touch the electric fence!!!
Situated in Mid Norfolk, as this site is, makes accessing much of Norfolk very easy. Dereham, a small market town, is on the doorstep. Swaffham has its Saturday market and auction (not to be missed), Norwich is not far away, and the wonderful North Norfolk coast, an area of outstanding natural beauty, is half an hour away by car.
We stayed for six nights, and wished that it could have been more. One thing is for certain. We will be back. We awarded this site the maximum five stars. If we could have, we would have awarded it six!
Lovely Place.
Just had a fantastic weekend at this cl, Lovely welcome on arrival, nice level pitches, the best facilities we have ever experienced on a cl before. Nice and peaceful. Very friendly and helpful hosts.
Easy to book from their own website.

We enjoyed this location as a family of 4. We don't normally write reviews but in this case it was an absolute must.
Thank you John and Family.

A wonderful new CL
A wonderful new CL, stopped here for just one night, booked at the last minute, couldn’t fault the booking process or the friendly welcome we received. The facilities were excellent including spotless toilet and shower. Well worth a visit - thank you for having us.
Superb site
Have just returned from a weekend break at Walnut Tree Farm and we highly recommend this new CL. Extremely easy to book and choose your pitch via the website. Excellent communication with John. John and his family made us very welcome. Easy access to the site and flat spacious pitches. The new shower and toilet block was definitely the best we have experienced. We visited Blickling Hall for a walk in the grounds followed by an excellent lunch at the Bucks Arms next door. We wish John and Rachel every success with their CL, we will be returning.
