Non-electric grass and sand touring pitch
Liked: Location was beautiful. Very peaceful, straight access to the beach/sea. Very nice views. Well maintained site with no rubbish and away from the road.
Disliked: It was very busy near the beach, lots of tents/motorhomes pitched next to each other. But there's plenty of space in the top field.

Non-electric grass and sand touring pitch
Liked: Oh what a slice of heaven, peaceful, scenic, sea and sand, safe bay for Grankids to play in whilst we were able to supervise and play too. Great for sit on kayak and inflatables, lovely beach covered in shells. No shop, no takeaways, no clubhouse, just real camping with beautiful views. Lovely pleasant owner, well cut grass. We added to our stay and camped 15 nights in all, Daughter joined us later and was allowed to camp in tent beside us.
Disliked: 2 nights out of 15 we had the Rowdy groups on site, making noise, playing loud music and shouting....you get them everywhere but it is really noticeable on a site as peaceful as this

Liked: This site is amazing!! Beautiful private beach directly on the site. Flat pitches and plenty of space to choose from. Fire pits available and bags of logs can be bought at the bungalow when you arrive.
Disliked: Not anything against the site but I wish people would follow the rule of keeping their dogs on a lead. We saw two different dogs roaming around, and doing their business, whilst the owners were completely oblivious.
