Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Loved the site - beautiful location just near Ynyslas beach with miles of beach and sand dunes. The site is relaxed and facilities really good. Clean toilets which is always a plus and useful washing up area! The manager was friendly and informative and gave us a warm welcome. Lots of walks near by - we have 2 medium size energetic dogs and they got well exercised. It's a lovely spot would definitely go back. We didn't use the club wifi as we had a good reception on our phones/TV.
Disliked: There is a train line running just behind the site with trains running about every hour, but you soon get used to the trains going by!

Liked: The site is lovely and small. Not busy when I stayed they have a toilet block and showers as well as a small washing up area.yes there's a train track next to the site but honestly after the first few you drown them out and they are every half hour any way so it's not a busy line

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Friendly site owner, pleasant to chat to and gave us a warm welcome, plus a nice goodbye too :-)
Showers were great, £1 for ten minutes of hot water was excellent and very fair value.
Toilets and showers were very clean and tidy.
Nice and simple setup everywhere, no frills but that's why we booked the place.
Disliked: This is meant purely as feedback to help improve things, rather than being negative, as a fresh pair of eyes (us) can be valuable for the site owner:
- Small gaps between shower door wood panels in the mens shower could do with having some boarding over them for additional privacy. A minor adjustment, but would make a difference.
- All three nights of our stay the toilets were very tidy and clean but the mens didn't have soap in the dispenser.
- Mens toilet flush button is missing, could do with being replaced.
- Small shelves in the mens toilets would be handy to put your toiletry bag on in the mornings and evenings.
