Liked: Easy access to town and ferry. Staff very friendly.
Disliked: Poor facilities for motorhome stop over. Fresh water fill up very hard to get at with no signage. Waste efluent disposal ,no signage. Showers were so hot that it was possibly hazardas. This site is not geared up for caravan, motorhome stop overs. The area designated is right next to a busy railway line and the road leeding to it was partially flooded.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Absolutely disgusting site we booked two nights and stayed one and we only stayed because we were shattered after travelling all day. Staff were rude and completely had no clue of where water fill up or whose was which hook up. There were numerous group booking all partying all night drinking loud music smoking cannabis. My husband escorted me to walk the dog and go to the toilet block due to how intimidating these groups were. A couple who arrived just before us and were pitching up felt just the same as us they also left the next morning after booking two nights. Probably the worst experience and site we have been on which is an ask considering we’ve had our Motorhome a few years now and have extensively travelled all I can say is don’t book and don’t go then hopefully they will look and change it!!
Disliked: Everything !!! we boycotted everything and left as soon as we could. It’s also right in the middle of an industrial site and the pitches back right on to the railway line

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Nothing
Disliked: A very poorly set out of facilities for touring pitches. Lack of space between each pitch, poorly maintained electrical hook up posts some not working leading to cables stretching over paths between rows of pitches. Some touring caravans seem to be semi permanent based on the amount of additional kit around them (standard domestic fridges etc). Inconsiderate customers parking both vehicles and trailers blocking access. Toilet and shower facilities poorly maintained and cleaned with other customers inconsiderate by leaving used sanitary products in normal bins. Area around touring pitches full of litter and grass had not been cut in some time. No access to beach (without a 30 minutes walk) as bridge over railway tracks closed off. Give this one a miss…

Liked: Night entertainment, children’s outside play area, swimming pool
Disliked: No hose pipe to fill your van, so bring one 😁 Tourer area is next to the rail track, but the trains travel slow & it stops at 11pm Beach is a fair walk, so we took the van Unable to book the pool, very hard to get in, as they have so many activities to buy for the pool
