Liked Toilets/Facilities. Clean & tidy, wild camping experience whilst still having a real toilet.
Lots of animals to see - sheep, goats, emus and many more. Mostly in the next fields over but sometimes snuck over to say hello.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (four person)
Liked Hallets is perfect if you want the vibe of wild camping but the creature comfort of a flushing loo.
The toilets were always clean and stocked with loo roll. And there was a drinking water readily available.
The staff were so friendly and regularly came around to check people in and were very approachable if you had any questions.
Location is 5 minutes from a big Tesco if you need anything and about 10 minute drive from the lighthouse. Weymouth also very close to go and visit.
The field also backs onto a farm and therea loads of cool animals to see.

From the manager: Not sure why you've said there is no facilities when there is a 50ft toilet block with flushable lady's and gentlemen loo and washing sinks and fresh water ect.
But thanks for staying with us.
