Clippesby Hall Reviews

Definitely recommend

This was our first time away in our new campervan and we wanted to go somewhere that had food/bar and shop facilities and all amenities required and this site didn't disappoint. It was peaceful and had well serviced touring pitches. The cleanliness of the whole site was outstanding, the staff were very friendly and the site is close to the towns, should you need them. The only downfall is that the data signal wasn't great but you can access Wi-Fi connection in the restaurant/bar area.

Excellent site, possibly the best we have ever used.

The pitch was perfect, private and large enough for caravan, car and awning, with space also to sit outside to enjoy the sunshine and birdsong. The amenities were spotless and spacious. Basecamp served good quality food for a reasonable price and had a good choice of drinks. The cakes were yummy too. Clippesby is a great base for exploring the Broads and also to investigate further but you can happily stay on site and wander through the woods or have a go at golf. We would recommend this site to anyone visiting the area and plan to return as 5 nights was not really long enough.

Tranquility

Pitch was fantastic and the shower blocks and toilets were immaculate. Loads of outdoor space for the children and puppy to explore. Highly recommended 👌

Amazing

I'm coeliac and wasn't expecting to be able to eat out safely, however the food in the bar/restaurant was amazing and the staff were so accommodating (especially Ruby, special thanks to you!) and reassuring when it came to my dietary requirements. The staff were also mega helpful in general and any enquiries I had were swiftly answered. They made my first ever stay in a caravan very enjoyable and I'd highly recommend it to anyone. It's also close to a couple of pubs and some lovely scenic walks and the facilities on site are fab. Overall, amazing!!

Beautiful surroundings

Beautiful surroundings, spotlessly clean facilities, very friendly staff, Sunday lunch at Basecamp was amazing

Excellent site

Excellent site stayed five night in our motorhome, well maintained grounds with plenty of room on each pitch, reception restaurant bar and shop all excellent looks new , plenty to do if you have kids , great base to head out from to explore Norfolk, all the staff we met were very friendly great place , excellent value for money

Family getaway

We had a great stay the last few days, just what we needed. However, great park that it is, we were a little disappointed in the kids arcade room. The pool table took £3 of our money and we could not finish the game due to the white ball not coming out. The arcade game machines themselves did not register when we inserted money into them, so we lost money again. I think a slight revamp would be good, making the the room lighter with machines that work, etc. With having 3 children that enjoy such games, we were slightly disappointed. Overall, a great stay.

Fab as always

Love this place for a short weekend break after a hard week at work and it's only 30 mins away from home. Once there it's peaceful but there's a clubhouse onsite if you want food or a drink. It's also an easy bike ride to Thurne and Potter Heigham We only visit in low season as we feel the price per night is reasonable. However, outside of this period, it nearly doubles.

Wonderful but noisy early morning

We had a wonderful stay in the meadow. The only gripe was the early morning noise. The bins were emptied at 5:30am, which made a lot of noise. The sewage was also taken early and grass cutting/maintenance etc started very early, which was annoying! Otherwise, a lovely site with great facilities.

Lovely peaceful site with great facilities

We had a great stay in our Motorhome. We parked in The Orchard and the gravel surfaced pitch was a great size. Plenty of room for an awning etc, or to park a car alongside a caravan. We inadvertently arrived after dark and it was quite difficult to see the pitch numbers, Clippesby advise arriving before 9pm or dusk, whichever is soonest, but we had a delay on the journey. The shower/toilet facilities are first rate. The grounds are nice to walk around. Our only criticism is that there isn't a dog friendly area in the café (Basecamp) etc. Dogs are allowed if you're sitting outside to have a drink or a meal but in the winter this isn't really an option. We will return at some point though. We had a good break and the site is very peaceful with plenty of room between pitches.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Clippesby Hall, Chris. We hope to welcome you back soon.

Great site with good facilities

Check-in was smooth and efficient, with a friendly team member guiding us to our pitch. Our pitch was a bit snug to manoeuvre onto due to the narrow road/track (no motor mover), but once settled, it proved to be satisfactory. It was a fully serviced hardstanding pitch, thoughtfully arranged with water and waste facilities conveniently close to the van. Visiting during the off-season afforded us a tranquil and serene atmosphere, though we anticipate it may become busier during peak times. The park features a cycle path that doubles as an enjoyable dog-walking route, and the ample space allows for leisurely strolls. On-site, there's a bustling bar and restaurant that seems to attract many non-residents, likely popular among locals. While the food was reasonably priced, my wife was disappointed with her plant-based fish option. However, I found the cod to be satisfactory, and we also enjoyed some delicious pizzas earlier in the week. This location serves as a convenient base for exploring the Norfolk Broads or the Norfolk coast. Overall, we would certainly consider staying again, perhaps during the off-season when we prefer a quieter atmosphere.

We had a lovely stay

We had a very enjoyable stay at Clippesby Hall. Before I say anything else, please try their pizzas. They are amazing and fairly large as well. The staff were helpful and friendly. The facilities were spotlessly clean. Make sure you book Sunday lunch in advance. Plenty for children to do, and the whole site was nice and peaceful. We'll be returning very soon with family.

Definitely a place to go back to

The 'Garden of Eden' site. The layout and size of the park are brilliant. Facilities are the best I've come across on a campsite. The only minor downside was the access roads to the pitches. It rained from the heavens when we stayed and getting about on foot meant that with all the rain, the pebble roadways became muddy puddles. But it's definitely a place I'd return to.

Lovely site...

It was a really nice site with lots of different site options, we stayed in a wooded area, which was quiet and pretty. The only negative is that if you have dogs, they are not allowed inside at all....ok in the summer, but in the winter when it's cold, it was a nuisance. We would have made full use of the restaurant and bar but unfortunately couldn't use them...if you can use these facilities, they really looked great. Excellent shower facilities...probably the best we've used and spotlessly clean. Will def come back in good weather 😌

Could be perfect with a few tweaks

Great site, well spaced pitches and very scenic. Would have been 5 stars, however no Wi-Fi beyond the bar area itself is a bit behind the times, particularly for the rate level charged. No designated area to allow dogs in the restaurant/bar is missing a trick, as we would have spent an evening in there otherwise, but we couldn't. Nice showers although in the mens one hairdryer didn't work in one cubicle and another had no toilet seat cover. Overall though, a lovely stay.

Lovely stay

Lovely stay. Location of site was great, easy to get to but far enough out of the way to be quiet and feel secluded. Pitches were great, facilities (especially the showers) were always clean and warm. We didn't use the shop/café/restaurant but all looked absolutely lovely. We will definitely be back!

Seal watching and sandy beaches

Two nights with my little campervan on a site with by far the best facilities I've ever experienced. Loos and showers fab, great breakfast. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Apparently jump-starting visitors whose batteries go flat before departure is just routine for them! I saw loads of seals and pups at Winterton on Sea and walked for miles on the beautiful sandy beach at Sea Palling. So even though I would have liked to be nearer to the sea, and for the bar to stay open a bit later than 5pm on the day after Boxing Day, I am a very satisfied customer.

Very peaceful

Very peaceful, with an excellent base camp.

Beautiful campsite

We have only camped a couple of times but already recommending this site as it was perfect in every way. The food was delicious and the showers and toilets were like being at home and cleaned very often. Couldn't fault a thing.

Enjoyable

Arrived about 6.30pm, collected map but struggled to find pitch. There was a mix up with other guests over electric hook up as not numbered but it was rectified easily. Lady behind bar was lovely, very friendly and helpful. The homemade pizza was fabulous. We didn't feel the reception staff the following day were too helpful and felt the local knowledge was lacking.

Winter stay

Very wet weather has created a lot of mud, but that problem is not unique! However, the all weather pitches do the job nicely. We altered the length of our stay and had to move pitches, and also had requirements due to expected very high winds. Staff at reception were polite, helpful and got my needs sorted! Facilities were clean and well managed. Definitely stay here again.

Absolutely lovely campsite

Absolutely lovely campsite. Very clean restaurant, nice food and lots on the menu. Fabulous walks around the site and plenty to do for the kids. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I'll definitely be back.

Fantastic place

A fantastic campsite, we will be back.

Lovely well kept site

Lovely well maintained and clean site. Restaurant food excellent....covered outside area for those like us with dogs.....shame it wasn't a bit more enclosed against the elements though. Staff friendly and helpful.

Quiet break

First time we have been here, it was very relaxing. A lovely clubhouse, great crazy golf. Only slight problem was the bar shuts at 9, which I think is too early, but that wouldn't stop me coming as I'm not a drinker. I shall return very soon, highly recommend 😀
