What customers say
Guests highlight the beautiful scenery, friendly staff, and plentiful activities for children. Facilities, particularly toilets and showers, are frequently praised as clean and well-maintained.

Great for kids and adults but cleanliness of toilets could do better.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Kids entertainment during the day was excellant
Disliked The toilets on the touring part of the site only cleaned once a day and for the amount of people in and out just wasn't enough.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We're delighted to hear that your children enjoyed the daytime entertainment team and that this was a highlight of your stay.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the toilet facilities on the touring area. We are sorry that the cleanliness did not meet your expectations during your six-night stay. We understand how important clean and well-maintained facilities are to our guests, and we're disappointed to hear this detracted from your overall experience.
Our toilet blocks are cleaned twice daily and will be done again if we are notified that they are not up to someones expectations.
We have passed your comments to our housekeeping team, and we are reviewing our cleaning schedules for the touring facilities to ensure they are serviced more frequently during busy periods.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide a much-improved experience.

From the manager: We’re so pleased to hear you found our communication before your holiday helpful and that you enjoyed your stay in one of our clean and comfortable caravans. It’s also wonderful to know our team made such a positive impression we’ll be sure to pass on your kind comments
We’re sorry the weather didn’t cooperate during your visit. Unfortunately that’s one thing we can’t control 🌧️
As our park is in a rural area we do have issues with WIFI and some mobile phone networks. We appreciate the feedback and will look into this to help improve the experience for future guests.
We hope to welcome you back again soon hopefully with a little more sunshine next time! ☀️
Gorgeous views and amazing beach cove…
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Gorgeous views and amazing beach cove if you are brave enough to make the journey. Excellent shower facilities. Lovely food with brilliant staff in a dog friendly restaurant. How refreshing!!
Disliked No fully serviced touring pitches, everything is either up or down a massive hill.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the beach cove, facilities, food, and the warm welcome from our team especially our dog-friendly atmosphere.
We do appreciate your feedback regarding the touring pitches and the hilly terrain. Our coastal location does mean the park is steep in areas but this does allow all to get great sea views but we understand that this may not suit everyone. Your comments are valuable and help future guests decide if they would choose to come to the park.
We hope to welcome you back again.
Overall quite a nice site but just wouldn’t recommend it for camping
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked beautiful location and lots of activities on site for the whole family.
Disliked Pitches were quite small, we couldn’t fit our awning on it even though we gave our size specifications when booking. Not all the pitches are level either. Not to mention the ground was full of stones and rock hard making it difficult to put the pegs in.
Very limited showers, so can imagine it would be extremely busy trying to use them during peak times.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed our beautiful location and the range of activities available for families on site.
Sorry to hear that your pitch did not meet expectations. We will always look to relocate if pitches are not suitable but we will review this with our team to see where improvements can be made.
Your feedback about the shower facilities is also valued, particularly regarding availability during busier periods, as this helps us identify areas where we can improve the guest experience.
We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.

Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for your feedback we’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the entertainment, our location, and found the facilities clean and the shop well stocked.
We understand the park’s hilly layout may not suit everyone with mobility concerns, and we always recommend guests contact us before booking so we can make them fully aware that the park is on the side of a hill, it does give everyone a great view of the sea but yes can be a concern for people with mobility issues.
We have just recently refurbished the pool area so were quite interested to hear that you felt the pool was run down.
Maybe see you again in the future.
Excellent place ,recommended!
