Brick Kiln Farm Campsite Reviews

Good site

The price for one night for a small tent was excessive given how basic it was. Otherwise great.

Site's response

Mmmm, a slightly conflicting review perhaps? I certainly do not think I am 'basic'. Basic surely is just a field? I have a shower block, kitchen area with full use of crockery and cutlery, kettle, toaster, microwave and fridge, an honesty shop, firepits with wood available on site, reading room, wi-fi. However, I appreciate that you have also said that it was a good site and 'great'. I assume you came with a car so you would have needed a standard pitch. I do have two cheaper pitches but they are only available without a car. If you didn't have a car, then I think those solo pitches were already taken.

Peaceful

Super organized and very peaceful

Great campsite, very helpful hosts, immaculately clean and they've thought of everything - brilliant eye for detail - everything, from offering a shared fridge, small shop, firewood etc. Lots of great walking in the area, a peaceful spot to relax in.

Site's response

It is very peaceful here with only the sound of birdsong and wildlife around. The honesty shop is always popular along with the campfires too. Thank you for your kind review. T.

Lovely campsite

Friendly and welcoming site. The pitches were well spaces and all had a fire pit. Fire wood was available to buy. The facilities were clean and tidy. It was a short walk across fields to a nice pub that served food and welcomed dogs. There was a well stocked honesty shop which was a nice touch.

Site's response

Thank you for your kind review. We are a small and friendly site and I am glad that you felt welcomed here. The walk across the field is always very popular with a great pub too. The honesty shop is often commented on and I know campers find it helpful. I hope to welcome you back in the near future. T.

Fabulous facilities and a fabulous hostess who has thought of everything

Fabulous location and facilities. We felt relaxed and refreshed after just 23 hours, we will be back.

Site's response

Thank you for your lovely review, Tanya. Fabulous hostess eh?! I don't think I have ever been referred to as that before. Thank you! I am so glad that you felt so relaxed and refreshed within a short space of time. We look forward to your return visit.

Clean and friendly campsite

I stayed at Brick Kiln Campsite with a friend, on arrival we were welcomed by the friendly owner who told us we could stay where we liked, so we opted to stay in the orchard, which gave us a little more privacy. The site was peaceful and quiet with great clean facilities. It's obviously v well maintained. Included use of fire pit; logs and kindling for sale. Shop on site which was based on honesty system.

Fantastic site

Great location, lovely level field. Each pitch has a fire pit. Loved the decorative accessories in the facilities block. The honesty shop is well stocked too. Made to feel really welcome by the owner. One of the best sites we have visited for a long, long time. Hope to be back next year.

Simply beautiful

A stunning site with a lovely, caring owner who has gone above and beyond to make the site exceptional. Immaculate shower and toilets along with an honesty shop which stocks lots of essentials and luxuries! I have been here a couple of times and can honestly say I never want to return home. The peace and quiet is perfect to relax and unwind from the stresses of daily life. Watching the sun set and hares hopping along the fields is priceless. Tina thank you for a beautiful holiday that I will never forget. I will be back ❤️

Excellent stay

Great location!! We had lovely weather, so Felixstowe Beach was 30 mins away and Southwold Beach 40 mins. Campsite was perfect, although it's electric free pitches, you have free use of hairdryers and plug sockets, perfect for us ladies that need to straighten our hair! There's a little honesty shop where you can buy things you may have forgotten, plus a farm shop further down the road where there is a lovely cafe too. A lovely pub called The Duck is not too far either. Fire pits for every pitch too. Nice hot showers and toilet facilities, and a freezer and fridge to put stuff in too. We will definitely be coming back!!!

Lovely site

Lovely site, well kept with everything you could need. Short walk to the pub or driving distance to Rendlesham Forest, farm shops and more. Would stay again!

A welcoming site

Excellent standard of cleanliness and clear signage. Wonderful honesty-based shop with coffee corner, easy chairs and tables outside under awning. Could find no fault except that we missed the turning to the site labelled just "Brick Kiln"- not a problem.

Brilliant place to stay

Brilliant place to stay, clean and tidy campsite. Staff were very helpful and polite. Shower rooms and toilets were immaculate.What a lovely place to stay- nuff said!

Quiet and friendly

Really enjoyed our short stay here. Andy gave us a friendly and informative welcome. A small honesty shop was on site. Great if ike us, you had run out of some basic items. Like wine or cider! Other items available. Relatively close to Aldeburgh and Sutton Hoo. Thank you.

Lovely campsite in a fantastic location to visit Suffolk

We had a wonderful time at Brick Kiln campsite and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a great location to visit Suffolk, or just to chill on a very friendly site.

Lovely stay for a weekend

Lovely campsite with very thoughtful facilities.Thank you.

Sunset Solo

Lovely campsite with a beautiful location and run by charming people.

Great site

A 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!

Marvellous 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.

Great place, lovely people

Great place, lovely staff, very scenic

Fantastic place

Loved this adult only campsite. Fantastic facilities, lovely touches and great honesty shop. Can't fault it, will defo come again if in Suffolk again. 5*.

Excellent site

We loved our stay, a clean well run site with good facilities and lots of thoughtful touches. Tina was charming and clearly works hard to give everyone the beat camping excperience. Recommended.

All good - stayed an extra night!

Booked for 4 nights, stayed for 5 and would still be there had the rain not arrived. A very well kept site, with some really useful touches. The owner is delightful and has created a nice place to be. The location is excellent. The site feels remote, albeit usefully close to the A12, making it a great base for touring the Suffolk coast and beyond. Walberswick, Orford and many other market towns and villages within a maximum of 30 mins in the car. It gets better still, as the pub (The Duck) is 15 to 20 mins walk across fields and serves the magnificent Ghost-Ship, well cooked food and a sensational Sunday Roast. Book if you are going for Sunday lunch. The village shop is a little nearer. The only downside is we live a good 3 hours away, so not really suitable for a weekend, but I feel we will be back.

Quiet campsite

Charming, quiet camping. Good, clean facilities. Not packed in like sardines. Very friendly owner who has tried hard to make the stay at the site welcoming. Lots of nice small touches that make the difference, shows the owner cares. Definitely recommended!

Super, friendly site

We loved this site! Boutique style, super friendly and with everything we needed! Perfect! We are in the process of booking our next visit.
