Liked: Location, price. The absolute hero of a local who towed us out when we got stuck in the mud when leaving.
Disliked: Showers/toilets were dirty. Only way off camp was through a ford or footbridge which wasn’t accessible by footpath as it was blocked. Lack of staff. Very wet and boggy after rain.

Liked: Can not find anything good to say about this site
Disliked: Having to cross a river to enter site Without being pre warned,nobody from the campsite met us on arrival we had to find the amenities for which at best very dirty ,basic and for the size of site weren't enough . Field was full of sheep droppings, and on leaving we had to get help as like everyone on site we got stuck in the mud ,yet again we got no help from anyone from the site ,we had to pay someone to tow us off which I feel we should be re embursed, we feel.pitch up should research the sites they allow on their website

Liked: The local pubs.
Disliked: Entrance/exit is a river so you need wellies to get in and out as it’s about 6” deep, toilets and showers are absolutely disgusting, no one on site to show you anything or where to go, got stuck on the way in cause it’s all boggy local farmer was in pulling everyone which was a godsend, but cost us £20. Managed to get out luckily which we was exited for. Never ever will I stop here again or don’t recommend to anyone the site is half finished if that! For £30 a night is just a complete and utter joke.

Liked: Very quiet. No litter. Relaxed feel. Family friendly. Large spaced out pitching areas. Lots of space to play rounders etc. Hot showers. Electric hook up. It is what it is. It’s the most back to basics camping we’ve done. I didn’t mind the sheep being in the same field and found it cute- but sheep poo isn’t for everyone. We had a nice stay and we’ve made some great memories! it’s certainly not as bad as some reviews make out. I don’t feel they’re fair, either that or they’re Propper wet lettuces.
Disliked: On entering the campsite it’s not the clearest which pitch is which. Pitch numbers non existent. The ground to drive on is uneven. But the pitches are flat. No outside hot water for dishwashing (though you could fill your bowl inside and bring out). Always a solution. No brush to sweep grass from showers. So they got pretty grassy- but we’re in a field it’s going to happen. No direct contact person living on site. Though Lizzie was helpful and only a phone call away and we did see her every morning and evening and she was approachable and friendly.

Liked: Peaceful rural site Back to basics Lovely little stream bordering the field 10min drive to beach Away from busy roads Please don’t let the terrible reviews from the past put you off like it nearly did me! There is a tin and breeze block barn with a washing up sink outside and inside two clean working toilets with sinks, a disabled unit with toilet sink and shower and a separate shower. The trimmings arnt quite finished, if you want the ritz, book the ritz! Lizzie was very friendly and coordinated our arrival and pitch selection by phone and hasn’t bothered us since, however if I had a problem she is just a call away. The toilet block has moths and spiders like they always do but not nearly as bad as some places Iv stayed before because the lights auto shut off when you leave. I can only guess these facilities are recent additions/upgrades, going by the absolute slating previous reviewers have given. Thanks for a lovely stay, we will return in the future
Disliked: Early morning wake up call from Dolly the sheep and pals 😆
