Liked: Lovely clean site, brilliant facilities. Toilets were clean and plenty of them. Showers were great and got really warm. Nice quiet site with plenty for the kids to do with a playground and a goal. Easy and close reach to all the local attractions including the wonderful beaches. The staff who run the site are amazing, kind and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be coming back.

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Clean showers and toilets and plenty of hot water. Nice catering van, and enjoyed having another site close by with entertainment
Disliked: Allocated pitches which wasn't mentioned when booking. Travelled as a group and was only by luck we were put together then we weren't allowed to have tents facing each other - had to have them in a line in the allocated spaces.
