Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked: Very quite and well kept place barring in mind very busy working farm, was nice to wake up to the sound of cows wanting food and been able to get close to either touch or see. Ask if we could stay another day and every was fine and was sorted straight away could not of asked for a more peaceful stay away for 3 days and very helpful staff. We will be visiting again. Small shop onsite for basics and village very close by, and disabled facilities and shower area are very good standard.
Disliked: NOTHING

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Really friendly staff at reception. Obviously amazing views. Free fire pits even though I didn’t use them. Pitch sizes are very generous so you’re not tripping over fellow campers. Safe site with coded gate entry. Recycling facility is a big plus for me
Disliked: Not really a dislike but an observation. New shower block didn’t really have anywhere to hang clothes or put wash bag

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The staff were really friendly and accommodating. We were running late due to traffic, and we got a call to make sure everything was ok and we were on route. The site is very clean, tidy, and peaceful. The fire pit is a great bonus and can buy a sack of logs for £10, better value than the supermarket. We stayed up every night around the camp fire toasting marshmellows. Everyone loved seeing the animals on site and went to say hello every morning. There's a lovely beach with a park and also a fish and chips, a kabab house and Chinese 5 minutes down the road by car.
Disliked: There is nothing we didn't like.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The campsite was very well organised with allocated pitches, staff facilitated us pitching up next to our family members. Facilities were clean and tidy, lovely atmosphere. Rachael was very friendly and attentive, there is a shop at reception with essentials. Fire pit provided on each pitch. The toilet facilities have cubicles with a toilet, sink, shower and hand dryer - the nicest toilets/showers we’ve had at a campsite! Bowles court was a nice touch which we made use of during our stay.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked: Decent camp only the second time we’ve been camping so still new to it all. Decent location to local towns and the seafront.
Disliked: Showers were ok, I think it might be personal preference but not a lover of the unisex style, so was pleased there was another block that have a little more privacy with the individual toilet and shower as we had a few children with us. I thought adding the extra £46 for and adult and 2 children was a little steep considering they were still in the same tent and when I priced it up at the beginning it was only a few pound extra but I didn’t add them when I booked initially as I didn’t have the confirmation until an hour or so later, so added them the next day.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, On arrival you paid an extra £42, this was for 1 extra adult and 2 children and an extra car, extra cars are £10 per night, Children are £3 per night and Adults are £5 per night, all the extra costing was explained to you on email when you requested to add them on. This comes to a total amount of £42 which was paid on your arrival. The price you paid on arrival is the exact same amount it would have costed if you added them on at the time of booking. All our showers are unisex, the best shower block to use with children is the showers at the end of reception as it has a large family cubicle. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us Kind regards, Rachael

Liked: The staff were very helpful and friendly. The facilities were immaculate. The reception stocked camping essentials. Fridge/freezers were provided for guests to use. Fire pits on each pitch.
Disliked: The pitch we were given had a metal gate with gaps, so when the wind blew, it funnelled through the big gaps in the gate to our pitch causing us to experience trouble with our tent due to the powerful force of the wind. Everyone else’s pitch’s had a hedge behind them acting as a barrier, whereas we had the gate that allowed all the wind through, the tent was blowing so badly we packed up and came home a day early which was unfortunate.
