"On a tour around the east coast, stayed here for a couple of nights on the Spoonbill Touring park. Spacious pitch with full services, clean showers and toilets ( only problem with shower is the shower head it's fixed and angle of the water isn't the best to shower under also the length of time for water could be 10 seconds longer.)other than that fine. Great beach behind the beach cafe brilliant for letting the dog off, lovely walk into Wells where you can get the best fish and chips ever at French's. Will be back."

"Wonderful dog friendly holiday! Easy to check in. Caravan was very clean, modern and spacious. Welcome gift bag was much appreciated with tea, milk, bread etc. to get us started! It was on the pricier side for a caravan holiday but the location is perfect with a short walk to the beach and around a 15 minute walk into wells harbour. The site and caravans seem very well looked after. Lots of nature and beach walks, as well as very dog friendly pubs/restaurants - perfect for adventuring with our pup! We would definitely come back!"

"Just returned from a very relaxing enjoyable holiday at Pinewoods Holiday Park. We had one problem with the shower in our caravan, but this was quickly repaired. The park is in an excellent location to explore the north coast of Norfolk, we visited Cromer, Sheringham, Burnham Overy Staithe, Brancaster Staithe and Sandringham. There is no 'club house' on site, which suits us, as we like it quiet. All the staff we encountered were friendly, polite and helpful. Hope to returning 2026."
