About Alde Garden
Escape to this peaceful site in the heart of Suffolk, nestled in a secret garden surrounded by trees and shrubs offering a private space in the outdoors. You'll find a range of accommodation here. Bring your own tent and pitch up on one of the grass pitches or choose from a bell tent, yurt, gypsy caravan or the hideout in the trees! People choose to stay here for the peace and quiet, the range of facilities, the ability to travel light, the small and friendly feel and the village pub close to site. At night, the site lights up with solar lighting and the dark sky is ideal for stargazing. Sorry, no pets.
Open from 1 May to 30 September
Facilities include the treebog and jungle shower outside, whilst indoors there's showers and flush loos. Tucked away in a corner of the garden, you'll find a fridge freezer, microwave and washing machine. Guests also have free use of the fully kitted outdoor kitchen. A campfire is stacked with enough wood for a fire each night and there's also a wood fired pizza oven! WiFi is also available. Guests have free use of the site's small collection of restored vintage bikes.
The award-winning village pub, The Sweffling White Horse, is onsite and open four nights a week selling local ales and other tasty treats. The site also has an off-licence service meaning campers are not restricted to pub opening times when purchasing drinks.
