Liked: Absolutely blown away by this place, from first impressions on arrival it just continued to wow us both. I stayed in my camper with a girlfriend, The staff were friendly and helpful, the lobby had oodles of info for the surrounding area which lead to a fantastic stroll to Porthcothan and up and over to Bedruthen Steps. The pitch was spacious and well maintained. The facilities were surprising, offering doggy showers, laundry rooms and clean toilets/showers etc. We loved the welcome feeling for kids, a lovely play area and animals to feed a coe over :D Definitely coming back again soon. Outstanding, thank you for having us.
