Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: This place is our 'go to' place for a cheap and cheerful get away. We always have a choice of where to pitch up in the seaside field (non electric), reception are so warming and welcoming, the whole site is always clean and tidy, the Loos and showers are spotless, guaranteed hot water, washing up areas are never dirty or messy. Variety of walks if you have 4 legged friends. Simple and basic but that's all you need when camping in a field. Ice cream man comes into site, fish and chip van if don't fancy cooking, local shops near by if forgotten anything.Loads of room to play family games in seaside field. Lovely stretch of beach to walk on your doorstep
Disliked: Sadly the coffee rush hut wasn't there this time, my daughter's take their pocket money to have a fresh smoothie every morning

Seaside non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Check in was very smooth and staff were friendly and welcoming. Loved how we were told just to pick a space on the tent field, wasn’t busy so had plenty of choice. Location was beautiful and access to the beach was great. The charging and ice station was a useful facility too, need a second one down the other of the site in the camping field.
Disliked: Only downside was a few of times we used the toilet block, it smelt quite bad. But it is a shared space after all so the site can’t have much control over that.

Liked: Excellent sized pitch which was well maintained as was the complete site which was much larger than we expected. The facilities well all immaculate. Would not hesitate to stay again. Beautiful views out to sea with picnic tables and a well manicured lawn. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. It's a definite 5***** from us including Betty the dog.
Disliked: Having to leave 😞
