Bell tent (basic)
Liked: Everything. The accommodation, we stayed in a bell tent, very spacious, very simple. Outdoors was very quiet and extremely relaxing especially after some bbq and reading a book with a glass of wine sat around the fire. Would 100% love to come back here!
Disliked: My only dislike is that I couldn’t stay longer.

Meadow primitive grass campsite
Liked: The site is beautiful. The toilets were fine and showers looked fine but we didn't try them. There's a useful covered kitchen area with washing up facilities, noticeboard and seating under cover. The horses and cows were great! The walk to the beach is do-able.

Meadow primitive grass campsite
Liked: Good scenic location and close to Clarach Bay
Disliked: Site is expensive given the limited facilities available. No rubbish disposal - difficult to take away if you're hiking or travelling by bike or motorbike Shower is open to the elements, but it is functional

Meadow primitive grass campsite
Liked: Relaxed site that allows fire pits. Fairly quiet.
Disliked: The photos do not really match reality. A single portaloo at one side of the field. The meadow was uncut and the grass very long (and never dried). Unfortunately the footpath to the beach is not actually from the site and you have to walk up a road with no footpath - not good for kids or dogs. A bit disappointing to be honest.

From the manager: Hi Thanks for your review , we have just opened for our third season and we are behind in our site work due to the bad weather we will have full flushing toilets on site this week and the new footpath signs are up for all to follow .
Excellent site with clean facilities
