Powered grass site
Liked Lovely site, very quiet with an occasional little plane taking off/landing. The pitches were well spaced out, which our barky dog very much appreciated (so did we!) and we had shade we could use. Lovely level pitch, although the ground was rock hard - hard ground pegs definitely needed! Tracey and Chris were friendly and very helpful - thank you for the loan of the additional chair! Nice to have use of a fridge/freezer too. Would recommend this site.
Disliked Not really a dislike, just a note that the showers are a bit dated - but clean, and the water is hot!

Liked Great communication with the host Tracey prior to our arrival, she was helpful and made us feel most welcome
The campsite is in a beautiful surrounding, with well maintained grass, benches, the whole site is clean and tidy, spotlessly clean showers and toilets, nice little shop on site for essentials.
The village with its pub is only half a mile away
Had s great time, loved the area too and I ‘d definitely stay here again.

Liked Love the site all very clean and peaceful.
Unfortunately we had to leave early as my dog became very poorly, with previous ongoing health issues, so had to get her back to her vets. We've vowed to return 👍😍

Lovely little campsite, definitely will come again.
Unpowered grass site
Liked Lovely clean facilities.
Didnt use the games room as weather was lush, but love that it's an option.
Staff were lovely and friendly.
Lots of lovely beaches nearby, can even see the sea from the campsite.
Also nearby was the donkey sanctuary which is free entry.
Disliked Field was kinda slanted, but it's not the end of the world. Just need to be mindful where you pitch up.
Country lanes to get to the campsite were a little nasty, but also just drive slow and careful and you'll be fine.
