Liked: We loved everything from the moment we arrived! perfect pitch with as perfect view! we was greeted lovely and felt welcome. the facilities were great and were fresh and always clean. we spent one night but wished we stayed for 3! Our children absoloutly loved the experience and loved every minute of the beautiful farm along with the beautiful animals! Every staff member was helpful and polite and welcoming. we felt safe and at ease. was amazing that we could purchase a firepit and wood. All together the experience and location was amazing. we will be returning in two weeks time as we enjoyed it so much.
Disliked: On arrival we noticed there were a lot of children which we was so happy about as we haven young children too, unfortunately in the evening we were woke up by 2 men and a lady playing very very loud music at 2am in the morning which did lead to other campers awaking too but that was the only issue we had. we had a full English breakfast before we set of home and was really looking forward to it but was disappointed with the dry funny tasting sausages... and also the mushrooms were just saturated in oil leaving the beans oily too, me and my partner both didnt eat it.

Liked: The land was well kept, clean, and the views absolutely stunning. The staff were friendly, helpful and were more than happy to assist when we requested to hire a fire pit (which added a great camping vibe for us!). The facilities were clean and beyond what I expected as a first time camper.

Liked: location is great short distance to the Priests way and a little further to the coast path. Site is basic but for us that's part of the attraction- Toilets are showers were clean - when we stayed much of the field was unmown, this allowed wild flowers and buttercups to grow which was very nice
Disliked: Not really a dislike more an observation it was slightly difficult to find a flat spot and this may be trickier if the site was busy -

Liked: Really nice views and the staff are absolutely lovely. Fun being next to the adventure park, although not cheap (around £10 for a child and same for adult) so I wouldn’t have gone more than once.
Disliked: Fairly basic facilities and not hugely well looked after. No loo roll in any of the ladies toilets the whole time we were there. Need to buy a shower token when reception is open which limits when you can take one. Listing does mention extra fee for farm, but they could definitely make it clearer.

Liked: Basic site. Very quiet. Close to bus stop and town/beach. Friendly staff. Lovely views.
Disliked: Not so much disliked but feel the facilities could do with a update. The showers need a shelf for toiletries and a handrier would be good as nothing to dry hands after visiting toilet.
