Lovely Site in a Great Location

Sandringham Club site is in an ideal location, with easy access from all main routes and providing visitors with all the attractions of Norfolk's coast and countryside, as well as Sandringham House itself. The welcome at reception is warm and helpful, with information on both the site and local amenities. The Information Room is packed with all that you could want to make the most of your stay. Pitches are consistently generous in size, and a lot of work has gone into making them as level as possible on what is a sloping location. However, many pitch surfaces and grassed surrounds are beginning to look a little worn, reflecting the popularity of this site. Water, power, refuse and waste water disposal are all within easy reach, at the usual high standard of Club sites. There are two shower/toilet blocks which are more than adequate for the numbers using them, and they are cleaned and maintained to the normal high standards we see elsewhere on Club sites. However, these too are starting to look a little "tired" and along with the pitches, would benefit from the refurbishment and upgrades we have seen recently on other sites on our travels. All staff were unfailingly polite and helpful and are a valuable asset to the site and the Club. One negative note from this particular stay that I must confess to having already mentioned in other reviews, but is important. We continue to see an increasing number of drivers who seem unable to adhere to the 5 mph speed limit when driving on the site. I am not referring to those who might "drift" between 5 - 10 mph, but to those who appear to think that they and others are still safe when they are doing 15 - 20 mph, whether in a "solo" car, a motorhome, or even towing a caravan. This trend has, I feel, reached the stage where perhaps the Club should consider instructing all wardens to remind drivers of the 5 mph speed limit on site when they arrive and register for a stay. This is overall a lovely site in a beautiful semi-woodland setting, in a great location, offering something for all. The enjoyment and peace and quiet is a major feature, and with the type of refurbishment of pitches and shower/toilet blocks we are seeing on Club sites elsewhere, we feel that Sandringham would easily maintain, and enhance, its reputation as a "flagship" Club site. It is genuinely one of our favourites - witnessed by the fact that next month we are scheduled for our third visit this year. We heartily recommend it to you.

Lovely site

This is a lovely site but a lot of pitches suffer from lesser levels of sunlight due to the overgrown trees. You can be lucky and get a pitch that's in the sun for the whole day. We found that there are no markings on the shower taps and temperature controls which makes it difficult to choose which way to operate them. That's it so far as gripes go. The site is within a very pleasant walking distance to Sandringham house (for those who are capable) and there is the café and restaurant outside the formal gardens for those who do not wish to visit the house or gardens or those with dogs in tow. The amount of access in the estate is huge. Supermarkets are in abundance just outside King's Lynn and there is a medium sized Asda, with fuel station, even closer at South Wooton. The site shop has the basics and more, including Calor and those cream teas which are excellent value and rather tasty, you know. And not to forget the hard working staff who are brilliant.

Wet but relaxing

Have recently returned home from an 8night stay .Not the club's fault it rained...a lot . Sandringham is a lovely friendly, relaxing site. Have to agree with other reviews regarding the facility blocks they are a bit tired , but perfectly adequate. The site is ideal for M/H's as the buses for Kings Lynn and Hunstanton stop right outside .Those not of a certain age the return fare to KL is £4.50 return , cheaper than parking . Would we return again ..most definitely , have already booked for next year.

This is our 3rd visit to Sandringham and we look forward to returning. The staff are excellent, they do a a first class job at maintaining Sandringham site. The site spaces are generous. I have a couple of areas of improvement that I would like to see. The facilities are dated. It would be a shame not to maintain the high standard. An update is timely. The showers and toilets really should be updated in order to maintain an outstanding review. But what a fabulous location. The visits we have found fabulous include, if course Sandringham, but also Snettisham beach, Creak Abbey, Burnham Staithe, Burnham Market, Wolverton Station, Brancaster Staithe, Thornham Deli, Holkam Hall, Walsingham Abbey, Houghton Hall. All in all, a great place to be. We look forward to returning. But, please keep up the investment in the site.

Peaceful site

This was the first site we'd used since buying our first caravan. On arrival staff were accommodating and helpful. We chose our pitch and set up. The fish and chip van on the Friday was a welcome sight! The site itself was very quiet which was perfect for us. The vans were well spaced so we didn't feel on top of each other. Everyone was considerate of each other and really helpful when we had a query about our van. We had read on other forums that caravanners are generally a friendly helpful bunch and this was certainly true on this site. The showers were clean and the water was a good pressure and temperature. We had to wait for one on Saturday morning but people were considerate and didn't take forever! The washing up area was also clean and well looked after. Although this a Tourer Explorer site with a trail for children to do, there were no other children on the site when we visited. We didn't mind this as it was lovely and quiet but worth knowing if you are taking children. The grounds were also well looked after and we went for a few walks through the woods. This is a great site to explore this part of Norfolk and we visited Bircham Windmill and Hunstanton. We were only there for 2 nights so didn't get the Sandringham House or Castle Rising which I would have loved to have visited. We'll just have to come back! Overall a fantastic experience and a site we would highly recommend.

LOVELY STAY

We had a lovely weekend at Sandringham, managing to book a pitch on the day at 9.00 a.m. (which must've been cancelled overnight) and arriving - having food-shopped en route - by 2.30 p.m. The wardens were very helpful in arranging that we didn't have to change pitch for our second night (one night with awning/one night without), for which we were very grateful. The facilities were spotless as always and the were given very helpful information about the local area, which meant we had a nice walk to Sandringham House and Garden through the forest - passing Winnie-the-Pooh's house on the way! The wardens' office is tiny compared to other similar sized sites - e.g. Peterborough, Wareham - they could really do with rather more space. I'm amazed how cheerful they were in such a cramped environment on a busy site! We look forward to visiting again.

Friendly Oasis in a beautiful part of the country

We had hired a Motorhome using SwiftGo for the first time so were a little nervous. This wasn't helped when the M25 caused us to be 3 hours late so had to use the Late Night Arrivals area. This was so simple in this outfit and the warm welcome the next day banished the road trip from our minds. The kids loved the Motorhome and also the walk to Sandringham through the wonderful woodland, a complete contrast to the proper seaside town of Hunstanton complete with pony rides and crazy golf.

An old favourite

Love Sandringham, one of our favourite local sites though our first visit this season. New wardens since our last stay at Christmas, all lovely people, very welcoming and friendly and always with a ready wave when passing. Always hard working and busy and pottering around tidying and keeping the site clean and tidy. Fish and chip van and pizza regularly. We visited Sandringham House, the gardens looking beautiful and now is the season for the beautiful rhododendrons. NOTE TO CLUB : My only negative, and nothing to do with the wardens, is the same as previous visits over the last couple of years, the facilities are in need of a refurbishment and upgrade. Considering this is an all year open site they definitely need some upgrading. Wardens work hard to keep them spotlessly clean but they are defiantly showing their age (the facilities not the wardens!!!!!). Thank you lovely wardens, keep up the good work, will be back soon.

Another excellent stay

Just returned from an extended weekend stay, my second within a month. As always staff helpful and welcoming. I was a late arrival, having called in to warn staff of my late arrival. Given the option of several good pitches & Asked to call into reception in the morning to pay. Facilities leN and well equipped. Spent the first day on site. I was impressed at how active the staff were. Several were engaged on minor maintenance and site cleaning. Office staff very pleasant and informative. I will be returning again soon.
