Liked Second stay at The Hollies. We were given a good sized pitch with electric hook up. We found the toilets were immaculate as were the showers. There are water points near to every pitch and plenty of places to sort your rubbish. Fish and chip van on site wasn’t open on the night we stayed but the very helpful staff on reception gave us takeaway menus for places that deliver straight to Reception to collect. The views are incredible and the site was clean.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Had a really nice stay, toilets very clean.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Peaceful,friendly staff. Shops nearby.
Disliked We were given a grass pitch but we booked hard standing with pitch up. Apparently as we didn’t book direct with them it’s a hard standing or grass! So very disappointing. Also need more dog poo bins and better signage for water facilities as they didn’t match the map.

Would visit again all in all a lovely week
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The site was immaculate and all staff really friendly and happy to help. Fish and chips were amazing but a little pricey but worth every penny, the steps for me and the dog were too steep but plenty of beaches near and good parking options for a motorhome.
Disliked Intermittent Internet, phone didn’t always get a signal, tv buffering but hey ho that’s life.

Unfortunately we wouldn't return for safety reasons.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Only problems we found were paying for hard standing and being pitched on the grass the other very important and dangerous thing was being pitched less than the safely guidelines that we are used to of 6 meters from another van.
The smells wafting across the pitches from the toilet block was quite disgusting at times unfortunately it was very windy on the nights we stayed 😑
Disliked Toilets and showers were very clean and never crowded the staff were very helpful and the warden, we also enjoyed the on sight fish and chips and the regular ice-cream van service
