Liked I very recommended this place.

Liked The onsite facilities are very good and staff very helpful and polite.

Disliked The touring pitch we had (B001) was very uneven and took all my efforts to get my motorhome level. The 2 days we used the showers there was no hot water(stone cold in fact). We came here before in a tent and had a much better experience.

Liked The pool, kids club , cafe and restaurant, the lovely beaches , the caravan was lovely an so was the staff , no WiFi but the price we paid for 3 days for all the caravan was reasonable

Disliked The arcade was a complete rip off ! One pound a go for most games and for a couple of tickets that you exchange for sweets or gifts but you need to spend over ten pounds to get a 20pence chew ! The odd ten pence machines but no two pence ones , my grandkids was not happy and neither was the parents handing over all that money for a couple of 20p chews , complete rip off compared to other campsite arcades

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and overall had a lovely stay. It's great to know the caravan and our team made your stay comfortable and welcoming — and that you felt the overall value for your 3-day break was reasonable.

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the arcade. We understand how frustrating it can be when expectations aren’t met, especially when it comes to children's enjoyment and value for money. While the arcade machines are provided by an external provider, your comments are very important to us, and we’ll be passing this feedback on to them directly for review.

We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you and your family back again in the future for an even better experience.

From the manager: Thanks so much for the great review. We're really glad you found the caravan clean and enjoyed the walks and amazing views.We love to hear you our guests have had such a good time and even better that there was nothing you disliked. Hope to see you again soon.

Liked Great site. Nice location. Pitch was lovely. Facilities clean. Pizza from take away delicious. Never seen so many rabbits in my life - was lovely to see
Would recommend anyone with dog or kids.
Because we had older teenager didn’t really use any of the entertainment options. But if had younger kids could see the appeal.
Lovely beach minutes from site , nice and clean and quiet

Disliked Not much in the form of walks /hikes on foot directly from site.

From the manager: Lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay with us at the park especially the peaceful location, clean facilities, and of course, the abundance of rabbits (they’re a hit with guests of all ages).

Thank you for recommending us to families with children or dogs it means a lot. We totally understand that entertainment options may be more geared toward younger families, but it’s great to hear you still appreciated the atmosphere.

We also appreciate your feedback about walks from the site. While there are some scenic routes a short drive away due to our coastal location unfortunately there are no options directly from the site.

Liked Fantastic site! Great for the kids lots to do and staff are very helpful.

Disliked It's abit hilly for walking around with breathing issues but this wasn't an issue anyway as I was able to drive around the site and there was plenty of parking available down at the complex and up at the shop.

From the manager: We're delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the site and found plenty to keep the kids entertained. It's also lovely to hear that our staff made a positive impression we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words.

We understand that the hilly layout can be a challenge for some, so we're really glad that the accessible parking options helped make things easier for you, the geography of the park can be challenging for some but does give our guests some spectacular sea views. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Liked Lovely grounds, clean & tidy amenities. Lovely restaurant.

Disliked Everything up or down a hill. No good if you have mobility problems.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: lovely to hear that you enjoyed you stay with us and you found everything clean and tidy. the park is situated on a hill side facing the sea so can be challenging for some on foot but we do have lots of parking available both at the top and bottom of the park.

Liked The stunning views

From the manager: Although we could be a bit biased we have to agree the views are stunning at the park

Liked The site is huge and seems to be well maintained in most areas. Beach area lovely and clean. Showers had good pressure and lovely and hot. Arcades good fun for the kids. Out door play area brilliant for the kids. Evening entertainment good variety.

Disliked Our first night camping we were woken up at various times with drunk adults walking past, singing and shouting.
Second night was even worse as one drunk man fell into our tent were our children were sleeping. He not only scared the hell out of us and the kids he also broke one of our tent poles.
When this was brought up to the lady on reception she did apologise but seemed more fussed about trying to get us to stay at their other site which apparently is a lot quieter but doesn't have the facilities this one does. Having 2 children was the reason we picked this site for the facilities. It doesn't seem there is any park security at night to ensure things like this dont happen. The guy was so drunk and had clearly been drinking on the site bar. He also smashed 2 bottles next to our tent so had obviously been given a carry out from the bar.
Overall really disappointed. We'd stayed in May and had a few issues with people playing music till the early hours but put it down to a one off and rebooked for summer. We really hoped this would be a site we would return to year after year and bring other family members with us but unfortunately after this experience, the kids being scared to death and the fact we will now have to try and buy new tent poles we will not rebook again. Was also told a member from the antisocial team would call and didn't hear from anyone.
