Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Excellent ground condition. Flat and well drained. Great shower block and outside eating area. Made good use of the microwave and phone charging facilities. Great walks nearby. Magnificent scenery. The fish and chips are welcome after a long walk.
Disliked: Bar not open on Tuesdays but was ok as the excellent bar at the Cove not too far away.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The clean facilities and mother and baby washroom. The bar and games room. Friendly reception staff
Disliked: When booking this weekend me and the other couple in our party tried to book electric pitches (through pitch up) both pages showed no electric hookup pitches. On arrival there were many electric hook up pitches that had no one camped there either of the nights we stayed. Not sure if this is a glitch in the booking system. As even when we check now the electric tent pitches aren’t showing.
