What a well run site

We stayed here from 6th -10th May whilst doing a tour of the East Coast. Our first impression was how well the site was managed. Although being asked not to arrive before 13:00, due to light traffic on our journey we happened to turn up a ten minutes early, and found half a dozen Caravans and Motorhomes already waiting but the Wardens had taken complete control of the situation and basically allowed us all in, taking a membership details and then telling us to find a pitch and go back to the Office over the next hour to pay. We were put on notice that the Wardens were particularly stringent about speed limits around the site, which is quite right, and I have to admit that Helen almost appeared to have a "sixth sense" about this as she would enforce the message meticulously, often seen chasing the offender to reprimand him/her. The site was quite busy when we arrived and the pitches were well laid out and maintained extremely well. We did spot Helen on numerous occasions on her hands and knees weeding some of the vacant pitches- there's dedication for you. The Toilet blocks and Showers were spotlessly clean but a little dated. We were told that there would possibly be a refurb over the next 12-18 months.The site itself was well maintained and whoever laid out the Information Office has to be applauded for the work and effort put into it. It was probably one of the best laid out Information Offices that we have come across.The site is well located to visit the Coast and Inland areas. Unfortunately, we were only there for a few days, doing a recce of the area. The wardens were pleasant throughout our stay and very helpful with information.We cannot comment with regard to child friendly because we are both pensioners but from what we saw it appeared that the kids were enjoying themselves, although we didn't notice any dedicated play areas. We had a lovely stay and have to say that Helen and Neil are a credit to the Club. Well done to all and thank you for making our stay enjoyable

Not for families - very unwelcoming.

This site is not for families. The very small play area was in fact closed and condemned. From the moment we arrived, we have never been made to feel more unwelcome. Our very well-behaved children were spoken to on numerous occasions - for simply riding their bicycles around the site. They were not allowed to play with any type of ball due to the "No ball games rule" even though we observed other guests playing swing ball and football. They were "told off" for carrying a ball on site when coming back from the beach. We have only given a rating of 1 in these areas because it was a required field - we would rate the overall and Good for families section as zeros. I am sure that they will provide a very reasonable response to this review (if it actually even makes the website) but don't go there if you are a family - no fun of any kind allowed.

Comment from the Club

We are sorry you don't feel the site is very family friendly and we would like to assure you that our Site Staff always do their utmost to welcome families and help them have the best time on the Club campsite. We do have Club Site Rules in place to ensure everyone staying on the campsite has the best possible time and as such we ask that ball games are played in the dedicated area. As such if children do play football on the campsite then we ask our site staff to please ask them to go the ball game area. Please be assured our site staff did not just speak to you about this but will politely speak to anyone they see breaking Club Site rules to ensure that all members on site have an enjoyable stay. With regards to cycling on site, your children were more than welcome to ride their bikes but as it was a busy day with members arriving and leaving, our team just wanted to ask them to take care as safety is a top priority on our Club campsites, especially when outfits are maneuvering off and onto pitches.

Proper Bo ah tell they!

Nice walks left and right along the coast. Nice restaurant nearby. Pub has live music on the Saturday night. Lowestoft is ok by the water, town centre is not great. Southwold is lovely and so is Aldebrugh. Happy camping!

cant wait to return

we have visited this site twice now stayed both beachside and field side, the staff are friendly and helpful. Helen and Neil are lovely, friendly and always have a welcoming smile :) the site is spotlessly clean with good facilities. We travelled as a couple with our dog and are new to the caravanning life and as newbies Helen & Neil were on hand to ask questions or offer tips and advise (not that we needed any). The site is a short walk to the beach and the local pub (The Sailors Home) and you can also walk along the front to the holiday park which has a shop on site for essentials. we will definitely be returning, thank you

Big Big Thank you

We have been coming here for many years and can only say that our last visit in April was the best thanks to Helen and Neil. From the warm friendly greeting and the unexpected help in delivering my wife's medical equipment I can't praise them enough. Helen and Neil, you are a credit to the Caravan and Motor Home Club and they are lucky to have you as Wardens and look forward to seeing you both soon.

Great site, made all the better by Helen and Neil

Our second time here and loved it even more this time, thanks to the warm and friendly welcome given by Helen and Neil. I have to say, in all our years of Club Sites, this lovely couple have been the best. Happy, smiling, warm, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. What an asset to the club. Gives us hope that perhaps the days of the cold, military sergeant style wardens are making way for this new and very much improved version. Thanks to them for improving on an already wonderful weekend. Great site, very clean, tidy, beach location for lovely walks. Book ahead if you want to eat at The Waterfront restaurant. Fully booked every night we were there. Sailors Home pub ok for a bit of music. Co-op is about 25 minute walk. Bus stop nearby.

We didn’t want to leave

We had the most wonderful time in Kessingland. We were lucky enough to get a pitch with a seaview which was spectacular. Sitting in bed watching the sunrise over the sea was so good for the soul. There are lovely walks and would recommend a stroll along to Kirkley for coffee and ice creams at Zak’s. There is so much to recommend this site, but a particular thank you to Helen and Neil and their team for the warmest of welcomes, help and advice when needed, a brilliant can do friendly and fun attitude and for keeping everything so spotless. They set the tone for a relaxing and friendly holiday. Just brilliant.

A Great Site, and excellent wardens.

Arrived Friday 11th March 1.00PM our favourite destination by the sea, to a lovely welcome from Helen, one of the new wardens we felt at home straight the way, I let her know that my wife has dementia and might take a day or two to find her way around, we managed to dock at one of our favourite pitches and within 40mins we settled in to where we left off in September,kettles boiled and tea for two, and two big treats for Dolly and Star our black Labs, 9 lovely days wasn't quite long enough so we extended it by another 3 days, Great site ! brilliant weather ! and fantastic wardens, cant wait to come back to W H Beach. Keep up the good work, Terry&Anna Toon + Dolly&Star

Disappointed with our Pitch Location

This was our first time at this site. Unusually the site is split into two - the larger part is more inland and in a wooded area and the smaller part is on the seafront. When we arrived there was one pitch left on the seafront part of the site which we took as it sounded a nice location. Unfortunately the pitch backed onto a road which serves a housing estate and a large static caravan park. The road was quite busy during the day and well into the night and also early morning with several lorries which was very disturbing at times because of the close proximity of the pitch to the road. We could have moved to another pitch the next day but as we were only staying 2 nights it was not really worth moving. My advice if you do stay on the seafront part of the site would be to avoid those pitches which back onto the road unless you don't mind being disturbed by traffic.

Brilliant wardens

Arrived on site shortly after finding out my mum had been taken into hospital. Wardens very sympathetic and understanding that our we may need to be more versatile with our booking. Yet again the wardens are an important part of the whole site experience. Pleased to say mum now back home. Generally found the site tired in appearance but all facilities very clean. Good location for visiting such places as Minsmere, Southwold, Aldeburgh and Sutton Hoo
