Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: We loved our stay at this site, the pitches are a good size and spaced out well. The owner was very welcoming and friendly and was knowledgeable about the local area and had lots of suggestions for days out. The facilities were basic but clean. The site was beautiful and well taken care of and was in a beautiful location. It’s a very family friendly site with a play area, football pitch, games tent and little river beach area for children, which mine absolutely loved! We visited local beaches which are about 40 minute drive away. Overall we had a lovely little break.
Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch
Liked: Lovely campsite, owners are very welcoming, clean and quirky toilets and shower. Love the fact that they have a USB charging facility. They have a takeaway that will deliver, and a fridge and freezer facilities.
Disliked: I think £5 a night for dogs is a bit steep.
