Adequate for our needs.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Stan, the manager was lovely and very helpful. Well managed.
Amazing views.
Disliked Not our usual type of site as used to 5 star seasonal coastal sites. Nevertheless, was perfectly adequate for our stopover needs and seemed appreciated by other more permanent residents. Facilities reduced due to low season. What three words would have been useful. Slow water fill of toilets.

Would definitely go again.

Liked Facilities. Peacefulness.
Disliked Slightly disappointed that the bar was closed on the weekend we went. Local pub was too difficult to get to.

Electric grass pitch
Liked One of the residents was talking very loudly until around 2am on one of the nights, which disturbed our sleep. However, after reporting it to Stan, the issue was resolved and they were quiet the following night. On our last night, the tent next to us was smoking marijuana, and the smell was very strong throughout the night.

Not sure I would stay in an adults only campsite again because of this.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The fantastic view is only for when sitting at the picnic tables, however, that shelters the campers and caravans from the wind and weather. Kind hosts, clean showers and toilets, no noise to speak off. Laundry is card operated (yay!). There is a fridge/freezer.
Disliked We were the show, right in the middle were all the permanents look out on. No kettle, no microwave, no toaster, no food during the week. No wifi, but good cellphone reception.
