Brick Kiln Farm Campsite Reviews

Fantastic stay at Brick Kiln Farm Campsite!

I stayed at the site for a night with my 18 year old son in our tent. We had a brilliant time. The site was beautifully clean and tidy. Shower block spotless and the shop and facilities were brilliant. Lovely, calm and friendly atmosphere. Great interaction from the owner checking we were all happy and had everything we needed. We slept better than we do at home! We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for a fabulous, relaxing and refreshing night away.

Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words. I really appreciate this. I work very hard in the background ensuring that the site is clean - spotless, I think you said. It is because I loathe going into any sort of public loos and finding bins overflowing and no toilet paper and dirty basins. I just hate it - so why would my campers want that? I am passionate about it. It is lovely to hear that you slept well and that you will be returning. Thank you again. x

Wonderful little campsite

Awesome little campsite 👍

Excellent and will revisit

Excellent weekend stay. No music and adults only. Perfect for two sisters to catch up.

Thank you for your lovely review! I am so pleased that you were able to catch up with each other in the peaceful countryside (with no music or 'little' voices). We look forward to your return visit! Tx

Good stay, great local pub a walk away

A pleasant walk away is an excellent pub. All facilities at the site good, and the owner friendly and helpful.

Thank you. The pub is always popular!

Nice site but pricey

Peaceful site and picturesque in the orchard with good pub nearby. Was almost twice the price we paid on previous two nights for a site equally as nice.

Site's response

I am glad that you thought of the site as nice, peaceful and picturesque, Simon. I remember that you had the top of the Orchard which is a great space. I believe that price you paid was £16 per person as there were 3 of you. If you only paid £8 each for a site the previous night, I am amazed that they were offering as much as we do here! I hope you saw all that is offered here, and made use of it, but just in case other potential campers are concerned about what is included in the price, there is a shower/toilet block with hot water available 24/7, kitchen area with free use of fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, crockery and cutlery. There is free wi-fi. There are firepits with wood available to purchase on site. I run an honesty shop with a fridge full of cold drinks. There is an under cover seating area with a range of chairs and tables, including recliners, a pool and table tennis table, rugs if the night is cold, along with a reading room that is cosy and private. I offer pitches without cars but I don't think you booked this. It is easy to get in a muddle with this but I could have sorted it out with you on arrival had you flagged it up. At the end of the day, I don't force anyone to stay here and if anyone feels that the price is too high - don't book! There are many hidden costs running a campsite and this year, all costs have increased. I didn't want to put my rate up but I checked with local campsites and am in-line with them. I am also Adult Only so this is going to narrow my market and make it a little more expensive than family run sites as those who stay here are looking for peace and quiet. I welcome walkers and bikers, and the comments I usually receive from them is that it is wonderful that they can travel 'light' by bike or foot and have so much here to help with their stay.

Exceptional site

First time at this site and what a great one it is, we will definitely return. Everything about the site was really excellent. Great pitches, well tended and a variety of facilities for campers to use. Very clean showers and toilets. Quite close to a great pub and a train station, should it be needed. Best bit was the quiet and being able to hear the birdsong. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We really appreciated this. I heard the birdsong so clearly this weekend - even the rustling of the birds in the trees. I work hard cleaning the showers and loos and thank you for appreciating all the facilities here. We want all our campers to enjoy their stay here and to find peace and quiet in our busy loves. I look forward to welcoming you back. Tx

Fantastic!

Our stay at Brick Kiln was very relaxing. The owner ensured that the campsite is well maintained and clean, the facilities are good, there is a pub within walking distance. Highly recommended. We will be back!

Very pleasant site

Brick Kiln Farm Campsite is a very pleasant and quiet site. The facilities were well stocked with soap, paper towels etc and were very clean. Tina was very welcoming and has put a lot of effort and care into ensuring there is something for everyone, a covered seating area, reading room, honesty shop, dishwashing area and even a fridge/freezer for guests to use to keep their food chilled. Thank you very much, we enjoyed our stay.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your kind review. We do work hard here and I always like to try to think of little extras to make my guests stay more enjoyable. The covered seating area has been very popular this year with the poor weather. I do hope you will return again soon and we look forward to welcoming you back. T.

Super campsite

Very efficient booking system with great facilities including a small shop with an honesty box and a games/ lounge marquees with comfy seats. The site owners were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We used the site as a base to visit Sutton Hoo. We ate a meal in The Duck Inn which is within walking distance. The site itself was peaceful and secluded. We will definitely stay again.

Thank you so much for your kind review and I am glad that you enjoyed your stay here. Sutton Hoo is amazing! And I am glad that you enjoyed that also the Duck in the village has a great reputation for good food. I am glad that you enjoyed the peace and quiet. I look forward to your return stay. T.

Great little peaceful site

We were greeted upon arrival. It was explained that we could have a look around and choose a numbered pitch, which we would then mark up on the whiteboard. Then there was a quick tour of the facilities, including the honesty shop. Lovely flat pitches. A nice touch is that everyone has access to their own fire pit. Logs and lighters are available from the shop. The owner popped around in the evening and the next morning to check everything was ok. It's good to be able to book just a single night as we are in a van and like to tour and not just park up and stay for the weekend. A great night's sleep was slightly spoiled by the people on the next pitch who were sleeping in a car and decided to start their very noisy diesel engine at 6 am as they were clearly cold. Would stay again if in that region.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Anne. We appreciate you taking the time to write this. It was also interesting to hear your views on staying just for one night. Generally my policy has been a 2/3 night stay during Bank Holiday as everyone could end up staying one night on the Saturday, which would mean that I would have no free pitches for those wishing to stay for the 3 nights. On the basis of your thoughts, I will, in future, always release a few pitches for a one night stay over the Bank Holiday (but maybe not August Bank Holiday!) Certainly, any other time of the year, the pitches are always offered on a one night basis. The second part of your email is more concerning. It is, in my opinion, completely and utterly unacceptable that any camper could think this is 'reasonable' to start their van at that time in the morning. I am sure you would not have liked to have contacted me - but this message is for anyone who might read your review; please always contact me! I am up early and would want to sort this problem out immediately. This is a quiet site; I do not allow music and radios etc for this reason and if any camper becomes aware of someone being inconsiderate - we will sort it immediately. I hear most things but not everything - so campers - please let us know and we will address it straight away. It is completely unacceptable and inconsiderate.

Very nice campsite

Loved the campsite, very quiet and relaxing. 1st outing in our van. Very calm and relaxed. Very quiet.

Thank you for your kind review. Many campers make their first trip here in their van or tent! And most appreciate the peace and quiet. I am so glad that you did too! I look forward to welcoming you back. Tina :)

Lovely site

Quiet spot with good kitchen/little shop and shower facilities.
