From the manager: Hi, sorry you weren’t happy with your stay.
The petting farm/farm isn’t open yet so for safety and staffing reasons, we don’t want people wandering around the farm yard but animals are available to view from the footpath.
I apologise about the toilets, i do go over every day to check them and top them up with toilet roll as well as checking the rubbish and they are serviced every week by the company.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch (ten person)
Liked The atmosphere was nice. easy to find the campsite. Nice to have animals all around you and hearing the sound of nature and wildlife
Disliked Portaloos were always filling up quickly, they were cleaned in the mornings but I think with only 3 loos, for the amount of people there, was too much.

Liked Lovely views
Short walk to the beach
The farm animals
The site wasn't overly busy
Disliked Loud rave music until the early hours. It would be better to put a rule in place saying no music after 11pm
Not enough litter bins so people leaving piles of rubbish next to the bins.
