Liked: We did not end up staying at this place as they phoned and cancelled our holiday due to a waterlogged touring site and upcoming storm which was due. I really appreciated this piece of information. I cannot comment on the site itself as I said previously we didn't actually end up going but hoping to book back up at a later date

Liked: Clean site
Disliked: Not much to do in the area. No beach and once the town is exhausted from a days wandering then it’s a good drive out to get to anything of interest

Electric grass pitch
Liked: allowed us to take food from shop to feed the kids as the electric turned the fridges off
Disliked: they didn’t let us know prior to arriving that the entire pitch was extremely muddy, the tents were surrounded with water the caravans and cars all got stuck we had to get a tractor to pull them out. kids couldn’t play outside the tents because of how muddy it was and couldn’t let the dogs out of the caravans. had to drive 30 mins to go buy welly’s as we didn’t expect it to be that bad. the electric turned off every night we were there so all the food in the fridges went off and and everyone was freezing, we have all came back with a bad cold because we couldn’t keep warm with the heaters. also the water wasn’t working for most of it so couldn’t have a shower

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Toilets and shower block very clean and modern. Food in the restaurant bar was good but had to wait a long time for it
Disliked: Nowhere for adults to have a quiet drink at night without kids running around the restaurant bar last orders at 9 there is a bar upstairs but for owners only so the family room is the only place to go. Ok if you have kids but it's not good if you want to chill and have a chat.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: How close to the town 10/15 minute walk but the site nothing
Disliked: The pitches were waterlogged, when we arrived we were informed to drive around and look for a pitch that we though was suitable. Whilst driving around a tractor arrived to pull other out that were stuck ! We decided to just pitch up beside the toilet block on the road. Our electric cable did not fit and we were told there was nothing that could be done about that ! Having paid for a pitch with electric but ending up on a road with electric about 30/40 foot away and then it was an overloaded socket and electric kept going off !

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Cheap bingo £6 for 4 games and decent prize money. The ground staff on the touring pitches were lovely and tried to help as much as possible. I honestly feel so sorry for them they only arrived at the beginning of the month and had all this to deal with.
Disliked: The pitches were waterlogged were not able to use them ended up pitching up at the side of the road. The electric kept going off as sockets were so overloaded 3 times an electrian had to attend the site over the weekend as electric kept going off. There was no water in the shower blocks only shower with water was disabled shower and then the water was not able to regulate correctly it was either red hot of freezing cold. Went to go swimming to have over a 40 minute wait to just get into the water to be told to get out as the levels were not correct. Done Reception staff and manager were very rude and when I informed them of all the issues i was advised to give my name and number and they would get back to me once they worked the way through the list. If they spent as much money on the touring pitches as they did the rest of the park it would have been amazing.

Liked: Walk to the coast 10 minutes. More enjoyable outside of the campsite.
Disliked: Very badly organised. Pick your own pitch but good look finding one that wasn't like a river. We got stuck like many others and had to be pulled out. Water pressure went. Electrics went off. Think site should have made contact with people who were due. Explained what state the pitches were in and gave a choice for a refund or to move the holiday to a date of your convenience
