Liked: Basic facilities, but all you need 🙂 - on arrival lots of info/advice given. We were invited to a party bus on arrival with snacks/drinks & dance music. We felt so welcome. Kids spent the morning feeding the animals and we stayed over Easter and they did an egg hunt for them in the forest school. For a last minute booking our kids had a blast. Bit muddy but to be expected after a very wet winter. Fun little find.

Liked: Great off grid campsite - solar showers and compost toilets, fridge and freezer to use if needed…. Very chilled out friendly hosts. Don’t expect the Ritz but do expect a great base to explore the south coast from. The site is within easy reach of Branscome, Beer and Seaton amongst others….we didn’t try the fishing but speaking to those who did they had good days 👍🏻 Lots of varied animals on site to keep the kids amused. Our daughter befriended one of the cats meaning we now have to return!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike 👍🏻

Liked: My daughter loved feeding the animals and earning an egg for her breakfast. Good facilities including mobile phone charging, showers and toilets. The site also hosted a ‘party’ bus, pool table and other entertainment facilities that kept our older child happy.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: We arrived late and in the dark to a gate to open yourself and a pick your own plot and as our first time we were skeptical about why we had paid a higher end pitch cost for an non-electric campsite. However In the morning we found it to be a lovely small campsite and the owners/staff were going around feeding many animals while encouraging the children (and adults) to join in along with teaching them bits. The weather was hit and Miss but with the lake area having fishing, games area and the tunes in the evening from 6-10pm it was a really friendly and fun site which rubbed off on all the other campers making it a very happy stay. Toilet and showers are basic but are very clean and powerful. Brilliant little site which we will definitely use again as close reach to the Jurassic coast
