Great site

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022A great, friendly site with lots of thoughtful extras - hairdryer, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge freezer and an amazing little honesty shop. The only downside is night-time noise from the main road not far away, but ear plugs sorted that out.
Site's response
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for me. I appreciate your kind words. You would have been able to purchase the earplugs from the shop so I am glad they came in handy for you! My site has often been described as a field within a field and it is exactly this.
I just wanted to clarify your description that the 'main road not far away'. The way I would read this, if I was looking for a peaceful site, is that I was right on top of a main road and I would not book this site. The A12 is close by - 3/4 mile away. The approach to Brick Kiln is along very narrow country lanes so the site is not on the main road. Surprisingly, we are very high up here and the A12 is low within the valley. This is why the sound can travel, depending on the weather, time of day and wind direction!
I accept that on some occasions you can hear the noise from the A12. I have lived here for 40+years and the reason I love it is because of the silence and quiet here. In the main, the only sounds you hear are birdsong and pigeons in the trees! Check me out on a map if you are unsure.
What a find!

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022Marvellous site. The owners are friendly and helpful. The little extras are a treat. Have never had a kettle, cafetière, microwave, fridge, and gazebo with patio furniture provided before - made camping so much more civilised. The honesty shop, individual fire pits, book shed and self check in office helped make everything feel relaxed and easy. Will return.
Lots to do for a six day break in a beautiful, unhurried, untouristy place.
