Lovely February break, nice to find somewhere pleasant available all year round
We are a family of four with a 1 year old and a 4 year old, and daddy wanted to get away for reason of distraction (turning 40 wasn't a popular milestone) then realised just how many sites close November to March! So started the hunt for a nice site with good reviews not too far away and open at this time of year.
Enter Sandringham Estate club site, though mid week discounts weren't offered the price was reasonable. We arrived and had a quick look around site to see where would suit us (ideally between the wash rooms and play area). Though the site has two buildings with wash rooms and facilities the upper one near the play area was not in use due to time of year, not a big issue as the site wasn't too big to walk around.
ARRIVAL: Next was the trip to the motor home service point, there was only one but in the middle of site so well placed, I had to do a bit of manoeuvring in empty pitches though because there was only a water supply on the near side (our outfits inlet is on the off side) which could have been an issue if it was busier and there wasn't an empty pitch to turn in.
Although we weren't late I did notice the LNA area had electric posts but there was no water supply don't know if I'd cope without running water on arrival if late.
Our first night we wanted to have a simple easy meal, and had the wonderful surprise as it was Wednesday and on Mon/Wed/Fri I think it was The Village Fryer Fish and Chip van would come to site.
There were plenty of free pitches to choose from, and they were all easily accessible but all were hardstanding, while that may make them easy to maintain not too child friendly if sat out side the MH playing.
FAMILIES: The wash rooms as with most club sites i've used were impeccable! And there was a well set up family wash room!!! An essential for us and a massive plus for any site. There were lovely walks near by in the forest and up to Sandringham estate (although that one was tricky for the first few hundred yards with the pram) and bus stop between Kings Lynn and Hunstanton just outside the camp site for a nice trip out. The play area was lovely, and by no means a criticism but it could have done with having some swings maybe. And my children (daughter in particular) loved seeing Sally each day, she was so friendly and good with the kids.
In terms of staff, Sally was spot on, she couldn't have been nicer or more friendly if she tried, we were just sorry we didn't see her on the last day to say good bye, Imogen enjoyed her Tourer Explorer and camp site Cache hunts.
