Norfolk Brickyard Reviews

Great stay

A lovely site and a warm welcome. Comfortable and well provisioned safari tent complete with wood burner. I really enjoyed my stay. Many thanks

Norfolk Brickyard camping

We have camped here many times. We go back at least 2 or 3 times a year, on our own or with friends. The secluded pitches are unique, we haven't found any where else like it. The hosts are really friendly. The barn is a lovely place to gather, especially if it rains. Close to beaches too.

Excellent, recommended to anyone

From the personal welcome the moment we arrived, to saying goodbye as we left, it was brilliant. I have camped for many years but have never glamped. What have I been missing! The safari tent was excellent and the facilities were outstanding, including our own shower block, separate toilet and washing up area. Sadly, because of the rain, we didn't get to enjoy our campfire bit but this didn't detract from the experience as the front porch of the tent was totally covered and featured a large dining table. We had a great couple of nights sleep in our 4 poster bed. The location of our pitch was not only huge but also totally secluded. We will be definitely visiting again.

Amazing, thanks Nigel. That's a great review, I'm so pleased you had a good first Glamp, we do space out tents out a lot, which helps give the feeling of closeness to nature. You were great guests, we'd love to have you back, Tim.

Fantastic

What a great experience. We headed to Norfolk on a last minute outing as the wife had holidayed in Wells-next-the-sea as a child and wanted to go back. We aren't really campers in all honesty, but the Norfolk Brickyard popped up when looking for accommodation and we decided to book into one of the safari tents 'Abbots Rest'. What a great experience it was. Ideally located just a couple of miles away from Wells, with good amenities in reach. The site itself is a wonderful and humbling place to visit, overseen by a great host - Tim. Everything you need is there and packed with character, from the furnishings to the facilities and even the communal wood fired oven. Our kids loved the visit and had great fun exploring the site. It is great to see them get back to basics and enjoy nature for a couple of days, which is something that the brickyard provides in abundance. Our tent had its own little camp fire area, which saw many a marshmallow over the 2 night stay! I would highly recommend this site and we look forward to visiting again in the future

Simply wonderful

Every part of the experience was wonderful. We were met by Tim on arrival, who showed us the important bits, then let us get on with it, but gave us options to contact him if needed at any time. I stayed with my two young children and felt very safe. The safari tent was a fabulous adventure for us all, including the outside, beautifully warm shower experience in the cold weather. The rustic cooking and dining, the sights and sounds of the wildlife and everything in between. Even though the rain was continuous and heavy for one whole night and day of our stay, it added to the adventure. We made up and learnt new games and how to improvise with no technology! The experience was very grounding for us all and would most definitely stay again (probably for longer).

Thank you so much for your kind and generous review, we try our best to offer authentic glamping and camping so it is always great to hear positive feedback. We hope you choose to come back to the brickyard sometime. Tim

Fantastic

So peaceful, perfect location to get away from it all, but only a few minutes drive from beautiful Norfolk beaches. Safari tent was super spacious, clean and comfortable. Double bed makes the whole camping thing so much more bearable as does our own hot water shower and flushing toilet!

Thank you for your review, it is always so nice to share the brickyard with people who love it as much as we do.

Great safari stay!

We had a lovely couple of nights staying at the safari tent. Very private and quiet. Our 2 year old loved being in nature and fresh air. We met Tim and he was lovely and spoke about the history of the brickyard site too which was interesting. We spent one of our days at Wells-next-the-Sea, which is about a 15 minute drive, perfect little seaside town with lots to do and eat.
