Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: How remote and tucked away the location/farm was and that there were only 7 pitches so not very busy either. I liked that you could see the sea and hear all the farm animals & birds.
Disliked: Not being able to find the path down to the beach very easily but we were limited for time so we shall return to find the right way!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Its very private pitch, not crowded at all, 20 min to beach with beautiful hiking road. There is a clean toilet and hot water to wash dishes. You can buy your fresh eggs if they are available .there is no phone reception in the pitch area so be prepared to fully switch off.
