Electric grass pitch
Liked: Location - despite being surrounded by a residential area, the camping field was pleasant and peaceful with easy access to seafront a few hundred metres away. Friendliness of the owner.
Disliked: Toilet facilities (2 toilets and 2 showers) were adequate but basic - sinks in block took a while to drain and facilities were not the cleanest I have seen. Only 2 washing up sinks- one with hot water and only one draining board between the 2. Didn't realise that our online booking only gave us access to 6 amps of electricity but, to be fair, we were offered a higher supply but we had already set up.

Liked: It was a lovely quiet area everything you needed and the owner was friendly.
Disliked: The showers weren’t great it was either extremely cold or just dripped out, our pitch had a big hole which was annoying.

Liked: Very clean site. Shops and beach front not too long of a walk, makes it an ideal location for us. Childs play area in the middle of the green. Two toilets and two showers in the women’s. It was always clean and always had enough toilets rolls etc. Also, there was some cleaning equipment we could use if needed which was a lovely touch. Plugs in bathrooms for hairdryers etc. We also liked the fact they had music/ radio playing in the bathrooms. Planes would go over every now and again which was lovely to watch, none went of an evening so not noisy. Lovely cafe on site with hot drinks, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. Would defo recommend and come back. (Not sure if there was WiFi as we didn’t use this, so scored a 1 on that basis).

Liked: This is a fab campsite, quiet and relatively small, very safe for the older children (aged 8+) to play without us needing to be on hand as we can see them at all times. Location is excellent - 20 mins easy walk to the supermarket, 10 mins walk to the beach with the excellent Perch bar and restaurant about 15 mins away. The campsite was clean, toilets were small but adequate for the number of pitches. The shop was fantastic (alcoholic slushies were a winner!) and the owner, Joe, was friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Honestly nothing to dislike about this site.
