We have just returned from Brighthouse Farm and are already planning our next trip there. The farm is lovely, clean and interesting. We had what I would call a private plot for a group of three tents with our own EHU and standpipe, and the location is incredible. Odell is a very welcoming, friendly host, the facilities were more than adequate and I'd say this is probably my favourite campsite I've stayed at. It was brilliant for the kids who had plenty of room to run around and loved watching the rabbits in the field and the tractors driving by. I really can't recommend it enough, we've had such a fabulous time.

Great location for peace and quiet. Nighttime is great for star gazing, bring a torch as it's dark at night and no lights around the site- lovely. New shower block ideal. There is a pub within walking distance The Swan, but check as it's not open everyday and sometimes not open till 5pm. Have been 3 times this year with another booked later in September. Lovely hosts Odell and Ross, and nothing seems to much trouble for them and they look after you. Odell visits you at least once a day with his lovely dog Spice, its a dog friendly site. Have to say our favourite in Suffolk.
Idyllic

What a beautiful spot, full of trees and a mix of sunshine and shade. Odell, Ross and Spice are very welcoming. We will be back as a couple and hopefully with friends and family. Very peaceful (take a torch it's dark!) with well maintained paths to local village pub. A small camp shop is the only missing ingredient.
