Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Ample facilities for the size of the site. There is also both indoor and outdoor swimming which was great! A lovely big play area, and a good food menu.
Disliked Booked with another family months ago, and requested to be pitched together at the time. This was refused when we got there, as we were told it was decided on the day. We accepted this but when we walked around the corner, there is a big open field (with electric hookups) and there were plenty of free spaces. The chap that initially showed us to our plot seemed grumpy and wasn’t interested in accommodating us really. The toilet and shower facilities were also a bit grubby, and there wasn’t a mop or anything available to wipe down myself. The area we were camped was also on split levels, which meant the children were climbing up and down the steep embankments. As much as we tried to keep them off, and there is a sign in fairness, I think the site could benefit from steps through the middle (with handrails) to avoid injury. My son fell down and cut and grazed his knee quite badly.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The design of the site, the views, the facilities, were all great. The staff are friendly. The toilets are clean, and the plots for camping are nice and varied to suit lots of different tastes. Walking up the hill on site will keep you fit. Take a torch because some bits are dark but the stars are beautiful without excessive light pollution. The bar is pleasant and spacious. The play park is of a very high standard for young and older children.
Disliked Only minor points, the otherwise excellent and reasonably priced shop is a bit limited for things we all forget camping compared to other local sites but there is a caravan shop just down the road.

Fantastic camping holiday, thank you.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The outside pool was the absolute highlight of our stay. With the great weather, we could have been abroad.
Campsite is very well kept, toilets and showers always being cleaned.
Bar/restaurant- we ate here once. Delicious food. The kids especially loved theirs. Bands on two nights we were there and you can sit on the outside terrace with a drink, watching the sunset. Lovely views from our tent too.
Staff- very friendly and helpful!
Great destination for beaches and fossil hunting. We really wished we booked a full week, but we had a fantastic weekend. Already want to return!(Family of four)
