Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Completely set up for being outdoors. Less than a mile down to the beach passing through a gorgeous wood. My son and I love this place and will continue to visit until my son is to cool for camping!

Swallow 2 bedroom static caravan
Liked: Absolute gem of a place. Such a lovely welcome and myself and daughter stayed here in static caravan. It was perfect and such a lovely quiet spot with amazing views. We walked to the beach which is a must, spent a good day looking for sea glass. Worth a visit and we will definitely be back.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The views from the site are wonderful, and the owners very welcoming. The availability of a covered area with power was really helpful for cooking in the rain.
Disliked: The site isn't very level at all, and you cannot park anywhere near your pitch. It's not really set up for more than a 2 man tent. The bathrooms are not very private, with the urinals being visible from the outer door. The farm track to the property is long, and in places very rough. Absolute must to take your time, and drive it extremely slowly, not great to be going in and out of regularly. Very expensive for what it is, we ended up leaving after 1 night when we'd booked and paid for 2.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Great site for doing part of the coastal path walk. Which is why I chose this site. Quiet site with all the usual amenities. Small, so doesn't get noisy. Pitches close by to toilets and showers. Parking is in an adjoining field, but you can unload your car by your pitch then move it. Very good information given by the owner to what was on offer around the vicinity.

Curlew 2 bedroom cabin
Liked: This is a lovely site with beautiful views of the sea and surrounding countryside. The site is clean with only a few camping pitches and a few other units there. You are very well spaced out and feel like you are the only ones there. David was friendly and welcoming. He pointed out various walks and points of interest in the area.
Disliked: Finding the place would be impossible without the use of the map provided

Goldfinch camping pod (deluxe, no pets)
Liked: We stayed in the Goldfinch camping pod. Lovely clean thought about facilities with everything you would need with cosy furnishings and underfloor heating which was a godsend with the weather. The site is clean and well cared for and owners friendly. Extra charge for bedding and towels which we didn’t mind as it saved us having to take ours and theirs were lovely. The site was difficult to find initially but we were sent an easy to understand map which really helped. Fire pit was a nice touch which we used 1 night.. Close to a pub which served lovely meals (need to drive though). Close to the beach but we didn’t go there as we went for a gig in the stadium of light (this was a 20 min drive away) We would definitely stay again.
