Overall it's been the best park we have stayed at.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Amazing site, friendly staff,fantastic views wee shop was really good had loads of everything. Great playpark for kids and the rabbits were a hit with the kids. Beach was beautiful, shower block and toilets spotless. Highly recommend will definitely be booking again.
Disliked Having a cash machine would be great, shop can give cash back but if shop is closed and kids need cash for arcades there is no where to get cash. As we were in motorhome and didn't have any other transport to leave the park to find a cash machine.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for your review and recommendation. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views, our shop, the playpark, and especially that the rabbits were a big hit with the children.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the availability of a cash machine. We understand how having access to cash can be helpful, particularly for families wishing to enjoy the arcades when the shop is closed. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will certainly take your suggestion on board.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family back to the park for another lovely stay.

Firstclass park with everything at yr fingertips with excellent staff
Gold 2 bedroom static caravan (pet friendly)
Liked Caravan was perfect and in an excellent position. The Caravan was clean and had everything we needed. Was so comfortable. We ate in the restaurant on our last night and the food was great. The sports bar played some great music. The shop is well stocked. The site seemed quiet but of course it was end September/beginning October.
We will certainly return again. This was our second visit this year. 1st visit we stayed in a pod which was brilliant and this time stayed in a Gold Caravan as we took our two dogs.
Disliked Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It’s fantastic to hear that you had another great stay with us and enjoyed the Gold Caravan, restaurant, sports bar and shop. We’re especially pleased that you found the caravan clean, comfortable and well equipped for you and your two dogs.
It was lovely to welcome you back for your second visit this year after enjoying the pod on your first stay. We really appreciate your continued support and are delighted to hear that you’ll be returning again.
We look forward to welcoming you (and your two dogs) back very soon 🐾😊
Food at takeaway very expensive and even more expensive in restaurant!

Disliked Caravan/camping pitches need upgrades poor drainage on grass
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the exceptionally heavy rainfall during your stay caused problems with your awning and the grass pitch.
We appreciate your comments regarding drainage and the suggestion of a more suitable base for awnings. The concrete pads are intended to provide a firmer, more level area, but we recognise that during periods of very heavy rainfall, drainage can be challenging.
We’ll certainly take your feedback on board as we look at ways to improve the pitches and make them more suitable for awnings. Thank you again for your constructive suggestions, and we hope the weather didn’t spoil your stay too much.
