Lovely site

We have just had a lovely 2 nights here. The site is in a great location and we spent nearly a full day at Sandringham. The walk through the woods is great and we thoroughly enjoyed the house and gardens. The Social Club nearby is well worth a visit and we were made very welcome. the only downside of the site was the old toilet and shower block but we understand this is to be updated next year. We will be back but will wait for the new showers!

Slightly disappointed

We visited over the Easter weekend and the site was full. It is in a great location a short walk to Sandringham House, surrounded by lovely tall trees. The fish and chip van on Friday night was very welcome and good quality despite the wait as he was so busy. We found some of the site facilities a little tired compared to other C&MC sites we have visited in Norfolk and the rest of the UK. Washroom facilities were very clean and tidy but the showers were small and in our opinion too few in number for the site when full. Added to this on the Friday and Saturday there were a large number of unexplained power cuts, which although they never lasted long kept interrupting us in the early evening. The wardens were welcoming and had our sympathy in trying to resolve the power issues.

Perfect!

Just back from a four night stay at this beautifully tranquil site. The staff were so helpful and friendly. This was our maiden voyage in our caravan so we were quite nervous. There really was no need. The site was even better than expected, the photos on the website just don’t do it justice. It is set amidst several woodland walks and within easy driving distance of the Norfolk and Suffolk coastline. The pitches are spacious and are all within an easy stroll to water points. Thank you so much to all staff, particularly the ladies and gentleman at reception!!

Excellent site

Just returned from a week's break and we will be definitely going back. We've been before. Wardens very friendly and helpful. It was really handy to have a little dog walk in the middle of the pitches - that was helpful that they could be let off for a few minutes before we went out for a proper walk. Lots of things to do in the area. Really good facilities.

Bit too remote

I came here on Easter Monday for a short break. Despite the appalling weather the site was in good condition. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only problem was that the only places to eat and drink within walking distance were through the woods which due to the weather were very muddy. Site is very peaceful and friendly but I missed being able to walk somewhere in the evening for a change of scene and drink. I wouldn’t have been happy to walk on the road in the dark to get to nearest pub etc

First but not the last visit.

I stayed at The Sandringham Estate site for 2weeks over Easter. This was my first visit but will most definitely not be my last, from the warm and friendly welcome on arrival I have nothing but praise for all the wardens. As you would expect, the site itself was immaculate with all the facilities likewise. A real credit to the site team despite some atrocious weather!. The site was, I believe, full over the Bank Holiday weekend but it never felt overcrowded or the facilities overstretched. The site is ideally placed for visiting North Norfolk and its wide variety of attractions, I would particularly recommend the Muckleborough Collection. Having now tried the site I will most definitely be back, especially being open all year.

Novices Welcomed

Our first outing and we made every novice mistake. The mover didn't work, the lights didn't work, the loo didn't flush etc etc. Luckily for us the warden is an exceptionally patient and knowledgeable chap, full of good advice and handy tips, gave us tons of confidence. We sat in the caravan as the rain teamed down planning our next great escape. We left the site wiser than we had arrived ... apart from leaving the battery hatch open, but thankfully our friendly warden got us as we went through the barrier and put us right with a big grin! Lovely chap, lovely site, dog adored it and we will be back soon! (Not a threat ... honestly!). ;)

Stuck in a time warp!

While the lady on reception was charming, helpful and friendly upon arrival, the site warden was unbelievable. I thought people like him died out decades ago; 'No Cycling' on site to start with, for goodness' sake; our bikes go everywhere with us on our VW California, what's this all about Caravan Club? "You can't do this with your dog, you can't do that with your dog, your lead must be two metres and not three metres" & etc. Poor little chap is turned 16, can barely put one paw in front of another, what an attitude! Having issued his bombastic requirements, the warden then patrolled the site continuously to nit pick at visitors; my wife used her bike to nip to the loos and got an absolutely filthy look; he was too far away to say anything - I might add, we aren't youngsters, we are both retired. While the loo and shower blocks were adequate for a site 2/3rds empty, I would imagine they get a bit congested in high season. Needless to say; we shan't ever be going back.

Response from the Club:

The site staff have been in touch as they want to clear up any confusion. Cyclists are more than welcome at Sandringham and it is a very popular site for cycling with some lovely routes nearby. They recommend anyone with bikes to bring them along with them if staying at Sandringham. However, they do advise members that cycling is restricted in the nearby forest/woods as requested by the Estate, but to clarify cycling is more than welcome on the Club Site and on tarmacked roads. Sandringham, like all our sites, is dog friendly but dogs do need to be kept on leads as per our Club Site rules which is why the warden asked if you could please put your dog on a lead. Please be assured they didn’t mean to cause any upset but just wanted to offer advice on Club Site rules. I hope this helps clear up any confusion and we apologise this affected your enjoyment of the site.

Siberian Sandringham

We stayed on the Sandringham site along with a few other intrepid explorers from 25 February until 6 March during the icy blast from the East. The wardens managed to keep the facilities open and the water taps thawed out and apart from a frozen waste pipe our caravan coped well with the freezing conditions. The area was enveloped in a blanket of snow and we enjoyed some wonderful walks in the adjoining forest. We walked to Castle Rising and visited the Vintage Tea Room in the village. We also used the local bus service for trips to Kings Lynn, Dersingham and Hunstanton. Top marks to the wardens for their cheerful and friendly approach in coping with the difficult weather conditions.

Wow just wow !

This was our first trip out in our new caravan, when I say new I mean our first ever family caravan trip full stop! We arrived Friday night in the dark all Hungary and tired, to which point we noticed a fish and chip can, yes good or so I thought dinner is served, then in steps Mr reality! In the mad rush we forget to get cash out ready for the week end. As soon as I asked the staff member on duty where I could find the nearest cash point explaining the food situations she straight away reached in the till and lent me some cash saying "you won't have time here borrow this until the morning". Again wow what a star ! After that we found our pitch and set up for what I can only describe as a fantastic chilled out weekend. The site is supper clean and having a forest as your back garden was great for our dogs. The site has a fenced off dog walking area (which is the only place they can be off the lead on the site for a quick run). I used this every morning. There was no noise to be heard from the road at anytime of the day. The showers were always hot and never run out of hot water. All in all if you are looking for a clean, quite site set in a fantastic forest but close enough to towns and beaches you no longer need to loom any where else, were going back that's for sure.
