Just back from a long weekend in Suffolk staying at the CCC site at Polstead.  We went with friends Adrian, Sandra, Debbie & Martin (plus their sons, Ben & Tom) – two tents, one motorhome plus, making her first trip in the new van, our mini Schnauzer, Ruby.

The site is very attractive with some excellent woodland walks nearby. On Monday we took the recommended route through the countryside to the village of Polstead (about 45 mins), the village pub came with plenty of recommendations.  After a very pretty walk on a hot day we arrived to find the pub was closed every Monday! Seriously – who shuts a pub on a Monday?  We pressed on to the next village, Stoke-by-Nayland, but by now Ruby, not the puppy anymore, was flagging in the heat.  We even tried carrying her for a while but that really wasn’t practical. We eventually made it to The Angel pub with severe doubts that Ruby would make it back.  But thanks to the wonder of pub wifi we found a bus route back for Ruby and, because she didn’t have any pockets for the change, the two of us had to catch the bus with her!

It’s a site we’d go back to again, well kept and attractive with lots of lovely small Suffolk towns nearby like Lavenham.
