Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked: Sadly it was a grey old weekend but because it was September and quiet we were told we could park our Campervan anywhere…so we did! Lovely level pitch, clean showers and toilets. We were off early for a 100th birthday celebration but would definitely have stayed on a bit to enjoy the walks and scenery.
Disliked: A few more trees and or hedges would be nice and bigger hooks in the showers …oh and the shower spray very nearly wets your clothes!!

Bunkhouse (family, private bathroom amenities)
Liked: Lovely clean and tidy site with onsite activities at very reasonable prices. A huge shout out to Ollie, Jess and Jacob who made our boys afternoon activities even more fun with all their banter back and forth between themselves and our boys - huge smiles all round! Reception staff very patient, helpful and knowledgeable regarding the local area. We weren't limited to 2 dogs, which helps enormously. We stayed in a family bunkhouse - perfect choice as we preferred to be out and about most of the time so just somewhere to sleep was required. Close to the coast and plenty of attractions.
Disliked: No dislike whatsoever. However, suggestions on improvements would be to add a microwave to the communal kitchen area and a field where dogs could be exercised off lead.

Bunkhouse (family, private bathroom amenities)
Liked: Lovely site the activities on site were cool staff really good with both adults and the kids. The adventure cabin is very spacious with clean w/c and showers beds although we brought our own bedding with us there were some there and clean. The rooms were a little too over heated for my likening but hay ho there’s a window to open :). Local shopping outlets and close to a lovely beach was very helpful and across the street there is the big sheep great family day out and they sell mead very nice;) surprisingly you can’t here anything on the site from there so if you want to relax then this is the place at a really affordable price.
Disliked: Not really a dislike but the rooms were very hot.
