Liked: Outstanding facilites when we stayed 2 nights camping. The shower block looked very new and showers were very spacious and extremely clean. The owner lent us some sturdy tent pegs when we tild him we were using the slim pegs as the ground is a bit harder. Alan the groundsman is very polite and we chatted to him on afew occasions. Campsite is on top on thr cliffs with beautiful views. We will be returning next year
Disliked: Nothing to dislike about thr campsit. It has everthing you need when camping and very helpful staff

Liked: Loved the motorhome location overlooking the sea. Very peaceful. I broke our electric hook up cable and Garry was very kind to let us borrow one from the site.
Disliked: A little far to walk to the toilet/shower block. Especially when the wind and rain were blowing a hoolie.
