What customers say
This peaceful spot offers cracking countryside views & easy access to beaches & walking tracks. Friendly, helpful owners are a consistent highlight. Level, private pitches & clean loos get a tick. Some found it a bit pricey for what's on offer, but most loved the quiet vibe & handy location.

Liked We had a lovely stay at Prickly Post, the hosts were welcoming, super helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We were only staying one night but we loved the position of site, the location and decided to stay an extra night.
Waking up to see such beautiful countryside and horses was so peaceful.
The toilet on site was really clean too
We are returning in August and can’t wait.
Disliked There was nothing to dislike apart from putting a tent up in good old English weather 😜
