What customers say
Owners are praised for being friendly and accommodating. Guests love the scenic views, on-site eatery, and that dogs are welcome. Facilities are clean and practical, though some find them basic and a bit sloped. Occasional road or neighbour noise, plus Wi-Fi or muddy pitch issues in wet weather, are noted by a few.

Lovely people, pretty view, needs investment/care put into pitches
Top view powered grass and gravel campsite
Liked Quite on site, staff really helpful and lovely, cool barn with good prices for food. Good location to visit the coast
Disliked Pitches aren’t marked well as on faded wet card. Gravel pitch has minimal gravel next to exit gate so it’s noisy, definitely not work the extra money. Not very flat for campers/ caravans. Expensive for the actual pitch states.
