Liked: The direct access to the beach was great. The hygiene facilities were spotless and very regularly patrolled. Good site!
Disliked: very windy and the site is very open with no windbreaks for much of the touring field which made it uncomfortable sitting outside at this time of year.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Staff who were ready to change sites so that we could be with our family of grandaughter and two great grandchildren despite being fully booked. Pitches are very large providing space and privacy. Toilet block kept clean and updated, showers were hot and all working. On site fish and chiops and morning breakfast were great. Site was well kept, grass cut and plenty of recycling bins.
Disliked: Maybe a larger play area for children would be helpful for families.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Burger van and fish and chip van on site. Bus stop outside entrance gate. Has its own sea frontage
Disliked: Pitch up listed pitch as hard standing and grass pitch. We assumed our pitch would be part hard standing and part grass but in reality it is grass or hard standing. It depends on what is available. We were given a grass pitch but spoke to reception and were swapped to the only remaining hard standing pitch. People who arrived after us were not given the option. My advice would be either book directly or once booking is made via pitch up, contact the site and confirm your preferred pitch type. No Motorhome service point. No where to drop your grey waste. There is access to the beach but beware there are a lot of steps and the angle is steep. This is not the campsites fault, I am just making others aware. No pubs or shops within walking distance. Apart from the beach there is nowhere to walk unless you walk along the main road. No wifi
