The Glade powered grass and earth tent campsite (riverside)
Liked: If I could give this site a hundred stars I would! Absolutely beautiful place with really friendly and helpful owners who go out of their way to help their guests. We booked The Glade ages ago and couldn't wait for our trip. When we got there we went to The Glade to find it full of mud then John came along and gave us the option of pitching our tent on the main field instead as it was dryer. He then got us an extension lead so we had electrical hook up and he said for us to use the fridge/freezer and seating area in the barn which was gorgeous. That night the storm hit and we had to evacuate the tent as it started lifting off the ground and myself, my son, his girlfriend and our two dogs decamped to the car in the middle of the night and watched our tent tip up and crash against a wall. John came looking for us as soon as it was light and insisted on us going into one of their holiday cottages to warm up. After hot showers and changing into dry clothes John came back and said that for a small charge we could have the rest of our break in the cottage which we did. Mill Cottage was beautiful, cosy and with amazing views across the sea and we will be going back there asap for another visit. Perfect place to explore the surrounding areas as well. I cannot recommend this place enough and can't thank John and Dave enough for their kindness and help in such a frightening time

The Glade powered grass and earth tent campsite (riverside)
Liked: Lovely views, nice secluded pitch where we had our tent, guys who ran the site were great! Shower and toilet facilities fantastic!
Disliked: Far too muddy! I appreciate we visited in early April and they’d had bad weather, but feel more could be done to make the path ways easier to walk on, like laying some gravel or stones maybe? Especially when you can’t park by the pitch and have to use a wheel barrow to take gear from the car to the tent, we have a big tent and a lot of gear plus 2 dogs, just wasn’t ideal

Burdock camping pod
Liked: We have stayed in the Burdock cabin for a long weekend and eveything about our stay was amazing. First, the location is wonderful with the cabin facing the beautiful sea. The cabin was well equipped with the wood stove, a cooker and an electric heater in case it got too cold. We have found the facilities excellent and clean at all times. We experienced a power cut during the strong storm, but this was quickly resolved by the very helpful caretaker. Also, it was very peaceful as the cabin is rather secluded. his place is definitely recommended!
