Clippesby Hall Reviews

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.

Our first time here and what a treat

Basing this review on our stay in March so the park was pretty quiet, which we enjoyed but unable to comment on the summer season with children around. The park was lovely and well thought out with different areas of pitches. We had a hard standing with EHU and there was plenty of room for the caravan, awning and car. There is a nice wooded area surrounding the area we were in. It was a short walk to the shop, restaurant, showers and laundry. Everything you need is in one place and everything is well kept. I loved the showers and the fact that you get a whole area to yourself, a good sized shower cubicle with toilet and sink, plenty of room to get ready, put make up on etc. The washing facilities and laundry room were also very good. We didn't eat at the restaurant but it looked very nice. The shop had pretty much everything you may need. There is a lovely walk around the site, in wooded areas and down the lanes. The location is also very good for access to the broads and a good area for cycling. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would happily return. Most people I spoke to on site had visited numerous times.

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 😀

Fabulous!

This site is conveniently located for touring the Broads and Great Yarmouth coast in a tranquil wooded setting. The facilities were very clean, close to the pitches and plenty of them. Very friendly staff and I liked the provision of dog beds and biscuits in the outdoor seating area of the restaurant. Food was excellent and served very quickly. Would definitely recommend this site.

Fantastic stay

We loved the park. Beautiful surroundings, the clubhouse food was amazing and staff were friendly. Will definitely return. Pitches are a great size. We were in the orchard pitch 102. Lovely and spacious and gets the sun. It isn't the place if you want to go with friends and face your vans together. All in all had a great stay. Our stay was after the school holidays so it was quiet, don't know what it's like in the summer.

Very pleasant stay

Cannot fault the site or the site staff, each and everyone we spoke to were absolutely lovely. The only thing I can fault is the lack of items in the shop appertaining to caravan accessories, not much at all, but where do you draw the line. Nothing really to complain about, great stay. Thank you all.

Short break at a great site

Beautiful relaxing site, very peaceful. Toilet blocks are very clean but starting to show their age. Good access to site. Would happily return and try the restaurant next time.

Nice surroundings, everything else disappointing

Nice location. The bar / restaurant was a little chaotic, we were turned away on Saturday night at 8pm after being told it was too busy and that the staff needed to get home on time. They were 1/3 full at the time. Sadly, we were then turned away at 10:30 am the next morning for breakfast as they were busy setting up for lunch. The pitches themselves are very good - slightly difficult to park in and we were covered in pigeons all night (as were everyone else in the meadows) Shower facilities were very clean as was the rest of the site If the restaurant was improved, I'm sure it would be a nice place to visit.

First time visiting and will definitely be returning

Me and my partner decided to make a last-minute booking during the weekend predicted with heavy rain and 50 mile an hour winds. Perfect location, sheltered from the wind, great clubhouse and all-round fantastic place.
