We never expected this! - Cliff House Caravan Park, Suffolk!

[@ashleyjohnstone371]

For a moment, just at the 10 second mark I thought you'd gone abroad! I'm now convinced I need to move to the south, we've been battling storms, power cuts and flooding and here you are living it large in t- shirts no less! Jealous? Just a bit. Another gorgeous location. Really love all the trees, they don't bother me at all when caravanning better than a bleak site with nothing.

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Ashley, it’s a lovely outlook from this site but the weather changed soon after this to more like you were describing. Thanks for watching. ATB Helen & Dave 👍

[@carlearrye8473]

Been there 5 years in a row love it there so peaceful great walks to

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Carl, cracking site, we've been three times in the last 2 years and it's always going to be on our return to list. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave

[@gourdarchibald6588]

Hi Helen and Dave, wow recognised the view of Sizewell, it brought back memories of over 40 years ago. As a child I was lucky enough to be taken to a campsite near the Eals Foot by friends of my parents. We'd go for the weekend, rising at dawn we'd walk down towards Minsmere to watch the Read Warblers at the first bridge, go back for breakfast, then spend all day in the reserve hides. Those few years opened my eyes to the wonders of nature and gave me a life long interest in ornithology. Fealing really nostalgic! We will email shortly, Squash and Widget

[@HelenandDave]

So pleased that fond memories have been kindled. It really is a wonderful coastline and we will be back before too long. atb, Dave & Helen

[@rogertaylor2924]

Excellent tour guys.......keep em coming! Love Dunwich we know it well!

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Roger & Michelle, thanks very much. It’s a lovely part of the world. We have enjoyed a little Suffolk coastal tour this year. ATB, Helen & Dave 👍

[@robswiseways5697]

Hello Dave & Helen, Lovely setting with access straight onto the beach 👍. We don’t mind being set up under trees but of course you can get the annoying rain drips, acorns, cookers, bird droppings etc 😁. We’ve looked around a few statics and lodges over the past few years and some of the upmarket ones are tempting. Nice to go away but always nice to come home too, especially when you know the weather is about to turn. All the best, Rob & Gail 😃

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Rob & Gail, hope you’re both well. Some of the lodges/statics are wonderful but lots of money with little security in terms of tenure. Great little park though. Thanks for watching. ATB, Helen & Dave 👍

[@sukucinskas6846]

The motorhome trailer did make it a tight entrance but we were more distracted by Brian May on the right! Great video as always!! Rob and Su

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Rob & Sue, 😂😂 had to go back and take another look 👀 and see what you mean. Thanks for watching ATB, Helen & Dave

[@danielrussell446]

Hi Helen and Dave another lovely video and what a stunning part of the world Norfolk and Suffolk are places which we have not particularly explored aside from coming over to our friends in Diss and a week on the broads they have so much to offer hopefully one day we will tour from our home here in the West Midlands! All the best Daniel

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Daniel, thanks for commenting, we are a bit biased but we di love the area (as you can tell). We do like to travel further afield too but in all honesty, when we get to some of these places it's like we are a million miles from home. ATB, Helen & Dave

[@planecrazyaviation7773]

Hi Helen & Dave, amazing views over to Southwold and the bar looks nice too. It looks really nice there, thanks for sharing. Chris & Steve 👍

[@HelenandDave]

Thank you. A nice stay and lovely food in the 12 Lost Churches too. Thanks, Helen & Dave

[@keithalisonpreston9327]

Hi great site and good price weather is brilliant well was then. I'm so ready for a break at beginning November got my sister's cocker spanials plus ours while she's away. Hard work. .xx

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Alison & Keith, you've got your hands full then, lot's of life in them lol (lovely dogs though). Nice site, we enjoyed it and we hope that where ever you go in November that you both have a great stay too. ATB, Helen & Dave

[@Droneaway-72]

You found a gem in suffolk Right down the coast from there to felixstowe superb places We live here so we’re spoilt

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Steveo, couldn't agree more, there are some lovely spots in Suffolk and we really enjoyed our time there. Thanks for watching and please stay tuned. ATB, Helen & Dave

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Definitely one for our list, been close by but not stayed there. Love the fact you can get straight onto the beach. You had great weather as well, what’s not to like about the Suffolk coast, only just beaten by Norfolk 😂. Best wishes H&M. 😊

[@HelenandDave]

We are so lucky to be close to so many lovely parts of East Anglia and we really have enjoyed the Suffolk sites this year. Plenty more to explore though :o). Take care, Helen & Dave

[@gillianmeston8157]

Aww ❤.. love your vlogs but struggling not having our van , 7 months now 😩love Cliff house , Aldeburgh , as you know spent many years growing up there , your bringing back so many happy memories yet again , Still in touch with all our friends there , 1976 when Mum and Dad bought our caravan there ! Roll on next season , with a repaired caravan xx

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Gillian, can’t believe you’re still waiting after all this time!! Let’s hope it’s not for much longer and then you’ll be up and away. We love Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and the Suffolk coast. Just great. Thanks as always, Helen & Dave 👍

[@familyofsix1857]

Hi Helen and Dave, fab site review and one we are looking at next year now. Being tent campers this place ticks boxes for our camping style too. Keep it up!

[@HelenandDave]

Thank you glad you enjoyed the review. We like the site a lot. Take care, Helen & Dave 👍

[@HepcatHarley]

Great site and surrounding area. It's been an expensive week for me, NEC show and a new caravan on order :D

[@HelenandDave]

WOW! Sounds very exciting. What have you ordered?

[@HepcatHarley]

@@HelenandDave It's the Bailey Unicorn Madrid :)

[@HelenandDave]

@@HepcatHarley congratulations, lovely van 👍

[@MrJacksonlewis]

Hi Mate. Looks like a great place for my visiting list of east Anglia. Thanks Dave.

[@HelenandDave]

Cheers Greg, thanks the place certainly has character. Take care, Helen & Dave 👍

[@ColinShann]

Glad you liked eyekettle we love it there going in July can you take your dog into the farm shop we never knew it was there 😂

[@HelenandDave]

👍

[@virginiawestcot3111]

I can't get over what gorgeous RV camping parks you have in UK. Another lovely video ❤

[@HelenandDave]

Hello Virginia, thank you, we have managed to find some lovely sites to visit and we are only scratching the surface. Our very best wishes to you. Helen & Dave ❤️

[@colingravenor5081]

Hi Both, Thanks for another interesting and entertaining glimpse into to opposite side of the country to us. After caravanning for 10 years and a gap of 5 we've just bought a tourer at the NEC!. Thanks for all your grounded advice, it's surprising how things have changed. Some time ago you fancied a T6 Camper as a tow car when you saw them at Malvern.. We've got a T6 Kombi Auto kitted out as a day-van so think this could be a pretty ideal tug... Thanks again ...

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Colin, thanks for commenting. Well jealous!! You’ve got the best of both worlds now. Hope you have some fab trips. Best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍👍

[@schofield4836]

I love your videos, Thankyou. It’s great that you say how far places are to walk to eat then we know whether to bother … and if they have hard standing? We have a large heavy motorhome and need to park up, then go on foot everywhere if we have to be pulled out of the mud when we leave, we wouldn’t go 😢

[@HelenandDave]

Thankyou! Glad you enjoy the vids and happy travels to you. ATB, Helen & Dave 👍

[@alanbobbymcguire5099]

Really loved your vid guys. We are currently on Camac site Yellowcraigs in the middle of storm Babete ,Jeezo the wind and rain compared to lovely weather. 😂. Ah well it’ll stop sometime next week 😂😂😂😂

[@HelenandDave]

Thanks for watching Guys! Hope you stay safe up there! Take care, Helen & Dave

[@clabby154]

Great video Dave and Helen - we cancelled a 5 night stay at beach view Sizewell a couple of days ago due to the impending storm! We went for a walk along the beach and can thoroughly recommend Flora tea rooms on dunwich beach for lunch - in particular their fish and chips 😊

[@HelenandDave]

Yes, we’ve had lunch there before and it was lovely. A great little spot. We have never been to Beach View but did look at it. Hope you get away again soon 👍

[@The-Salty-Bager]

We were on the same site last weekend so must of just missed you, the car park down the road by the tea shop is £6 for a car per day but a staggering £15 a day for a camper van

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Mark, that’s a shame we missed you. Didn’t realise it was so steep for parking down there! That’s a rip off!! Lovely area though. Thanks for watching. ATB, Helen & Dave 👍

[@Meggy6571]

Hi Helen and Dave, Sorry we haven't commented on your last few vlogs. We've been away ourselves but all caught up now. You have done it again another fantastic site. You are lucky to have them on your doorstep 😊 A quick question did you give anymore thought to putting doors on your small front internal lockers ? Take care as always. Paul and Joanne 👍 😁

[@HelenandDave]

Welcome back Paul & Joanne, hope you've both enjoyed your time away too. We did look into putting doors on the front lockers but in the end decided against it, thought the gain was probably not worth the work/hassle/cost. We can still store stuff behind but we've decided against it. Thanks for catching up and ATB, David & Helen

[@pennphilip]

Great value at £120 for 5 nights (even without wifi) Definitely another one for the list. 🙂

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Phil, yes that’s not bad at all £24. That was our 3rd visit in 2 years so it’s certainly got appeal. Nice bar/restaurant. ATB, Helen & Dave 👍

[@terryfielding8836]

Hi Dave and Helen, site looks lovely but not sure about the amount of trees but price is very reasonable. Lovely area of Suffolk. Hope you've got your home address in the sat nav after being away so long. Look forward to the next video. Cheers Terry

[@HelenandDave]

Thanks Terry lol. We made it home just fine thanks but guess what! Yes you guessed it, we are away again ha ha ha. We always appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Take care, Helen & Dave

[@margaretbegley9201]

Good appraisal As u said showers and cleanliness a mark down. Trees not everyones cup of tea, make it dark and gloomy, dripping raindrops, its Britain it WILL rain, (however as you said u were very lucky)so trees limits your choices of pitches. Its 2023 and wifi still an issue, so again not everones cup of tea. Probably pitch price reflects why its past its sell by date. However good location, with on site food and drink. Enjoy😊

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Margaret, you've just summarised it perfectly in your comment, thank you. A case of you get what you pay for (most of the time). Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, we appreciate it. ATB, Helen & Dave

[@clabby154]

Ps the dunwich beach car park by flora tea rooms does not charge for cars only voluntary contributions 👍

[@HelenandDave]

Ah well that’s interesting, we parked outside The Ship (needed beer) but thanks for clarifying 👍 Helen & Dave

[@Stig84]

hi just curious how you made that awesome car and caravan on the map animation? looks awesome

[@HelenandDave]

Hi, thanks for watching. It’s an app called Travel Boast. It’s time consuming but gives a good effect. Thanks again, Helen & Dave 👍

[@daviddring8692]

Sent last text early through watching video. I now see it was October when we had the Indian summer. Went to Reedham Ferry site for 4 days Ive tried to get a price for next yr in early May. But doesn't allow me

[@HelenandDave]

Yes that’s right, it was good weather. Reedham Ferry was good too, good pub and nice nearby village 👍

[@daviddring8692]

Dave I've just priced this site for 2nd Sept. Comes to £136. When did you go for that price

[@HelenandDave]

Hi David, we went mid October last year 👍

[@HelenandDave]

The kids were back at school then too

[@mellarner8253]

Nice site, that is a maybe for us out of Summer season. I think occupancy rates on club sites are down now and private sites and CL’s perhaps doing better. It also seems to be the case that more sites are going to charge seperately for metered electric, maybe the same goes for WiFi supply, perhaps the CAMC £5 day rate is a little high, but do not use it anyway. If no 4G available, we just read books or Kindle. Do not watch any TV even at home, only Rugby for now. Maybe go the whole hog and go off grid and as we always use own facilities, site fees can be kept reasonable. As for internet, if Starlink did a 12 volt RV set up, we would get that for home and away. Some techy YTuber has modified his, beyond me though, so maybe Elon will sort it one day

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Mel, have to agree with you, the trends are there for all to see. Helen likes her TV I'm deffo more just up for a bit of KZbin but I'm always on the Internet . Great little site though and worth a visit. Hope you're both well and thanks as always for watching and leaving a comment. Cheers, Helen & Dave
