What customers say
Brilliant site! Clean, private pitches with hedges. Friendly staff, lovely views, great facilities (hot showers!). Easy access to beaches. Bit of a tight track in and can be windy sometimes, but overall top notch.

From the manager: Wow - Keith! This is such a wonderful reflection and if I'm honest, it is just as much a credit to all of our customers, like yourselves as it is to our small team! Whilst I had an original image 8 years ago of what I would prefer the site to look and function like, being a mother with 2 babies under 2 - all the rest has been built off the back of all the feedback we have received over the years...taking on board what people like and need and rolling with that the best we can each year - little by little - to what it is today! It's been an absolute pleasure to bring it up to today's point and more than anything - being able to share it with such a wonderful array of customers, like yourselves! So, thank you, very much too and we wish you all the best for the rest of your Summer!

From the manager: Melissa this is a pleasure to ready, but most of all that you are enjoying what we have built in our site and for you to enjoy a little piece of what we are so grateful to be able to call home. Not just on the farm but in the lovely area with live in for its nature, easy access and tracks galore to explore! And the new wash bay is going down a treat so I'm really pleased this is now up and running in full swing for you all to benefit from - especially the wonderful conversations that spark up, across the bowls of dishes....
Wishing you a wonderful, rest of your summer and thank you so much for staying with us, we really appreciate your custom.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Herb garden. Big flat pitch. Very nice clean bathroom/toilets/facilities. Water, electric and waste all on pitch. Views. Value for money. Everything. Manager even gave us a jump start to leave as flat battery. Best one we have used so far out of over 50.

From the manager: Thank you so much Kevin. The herb garden in particular has been a real treat and a steep learning curve for me! Luckily I have so many customers who also grow their own produce so not short of suggestions on what to try for next year to avoid mainly feeding the local slug community! It's always our pleasure to serve you all the best we can and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the overall, of what we have to offer and the local area. We wish you all the best for the rest of your Summer!

Liked Lovely campsite in great location.
Amazing sheltered pitches. Great for our dog.
Very clean and welcoming facilities.
Disliked Would benefit from a fridge / freezer for re-freezing ice blocks.

From the manager: Thank you very much for a lovely review and of course your custom. We really appreciate your custom and as a side note we have always had a freezer at request in our barn. However, with the new upgrade to the wash-bay area it is now out in the new walkway for everyone to use at their ease now. Thank you for the feedback though as this is help we keep refining the site and it's very much appreciated.
