The Hollies

It is genuinely a shame to have to give this campsite only two stars, as it does have many positive qualities. The facilities themselves are well maintained, with clean showers and toilets, and the location is undeniably appealing, with a beach nearby and convenient on-site options such as fish and chips. On the surface, it has all the elements needed for an enjoyable stay. However, for both myself and the group I was with, the overall experience was significantly impacted by the way we were spoken to, which has unfortunately clouded the positives. On our first evening (a Friday night), a man who identified himself as the “warden” drove directly onto our camping area and approached us in what can only be described as an unnecessarily aggressive and confrontational manner. He demanded that we immediately lower our volume, stating that we would otherwise have to pack up and leave. This was not only surprising but also confusing, as it was still approximately 30 minutes before the designated “quiet time” he referenced. We fully respect the need for campsite rules and consideration for fellow guests, and we would have been more than willing to reduce any noise had the matter been raised in a courteous and reasonable way. This was also the first time anything had been brought to our attention. Instead, the tone and approach taken left us feeling uncomfortable and unfairly targeted as paying customers. To add to the inconsistency, the warden then drove off while aggressively revving his engine, which felt somewhat contradictory given his prior concerns about noise levels. Ultimately, while the campsite itself has a great deal to offer in terms of facilities and location, customer service and the manner in which guests are treated are fundamental to the overall experience. Unfortunately, in this instance, that aspect fell well below expectations. As a result, despite the otherwise pleasant setting, we would not choose to return

The location for this campsite is great. The beach is a 5 minute walk (there is a stairway to deal with), the local supermarkets are a 15-20 walk (or a short bus ride) and the on site fish and chip shop is excellent. The Hollies is next to a busy road but we were far enough away to not notice any noise. I had a hardstanding electric hook up which was nice and level and the whole site has good access to the toilet and refuse facilities. Lowestoft and Ness Point, the furthest point east in England, can be seen from the campsite (the wind turbine in one of my pictures marks where Ness Point is)Had a great stay (even with a snow shower) and would use this again if I was in the area.

Great location just a very short walk to the beach directly from the campsite. Very clean facilities, fish and chips on site and friendly, helpful staff. Ample room for my campervan on hard standing and plenty of space for an awning on the accompanying grass pitch. Very nice site, reasonably priced. I hope to stay again - Recommended

Had a great Bank Holiday stay with family camping amongst the campervan pitches. Very family friendly, with onsite food options for morning and evening (day dependant), and the nearby beach a short walk from the bottom of the cliff stairs makes for fun adventures on the dunes and cobbles. We drove out to Sothwold which was only 15mins away on one day which was good fun too!
