Lovely stay at a very good site, but underwhelmed by the welcome.
This was our first visit to Norfolk broads campsite. This is an ideal campsite to visit if you are a wildlife lover. We found it very quiet and enjoyed the fact that you could walk out of the campsite straight on to the broads and see the most amazing wildlife. The facilities were very clean and well maintained. However, we arrived at the campsite at 4 mins before 1pm (being unsure of how long it would take us to get there) and were faced with a bollard barricade across the entrance of the campsite, and a spurious sign denying us entry. Had we not breached this barricade, our 7 metre motorhome would have been left protruding out into a busy road, all so that the staff could have a quiet uninterrupted lunchtime. Despite the fact that there were clearly two lanes and the equivalent of four vehicular spaces to accommodate vehicles arriving at this 'sensitive' hour. The site was not busy. The woman driver of the van arriving two minutes before us was subject to a tirade from the manager for entering slightly before 1pm, and breaching his barricade and having the temerity to get out of her cab to look for a staff member. The lady was greatly annoyed by the attitude of the manager having explained that she had visited the site on many occasions and had never been treated in this way. For our part, I found the manager rude, dismissive, and disinterested, giving vague and fleeting instructions. The remaining staff were absolutely lovely and helpful and could not do enough to please. The Dog public house up the road was friendly and had good food.
