Liked: In a lovely spot a few minutes from the beach with excellent coastal walks. The staff were friendly and the bar and restaurant were good. A really good spot if you are just off the ferry from Santander, but well worth a few days to explore I reckon. Facilities cleaned regularly through the day.
Disliked: The pitches were very tight, but this seems par for the course for a lot of sites in Spain. Otherwise nothing of concern.

Liked: Says grass pitch but there are flagged lines to drive on. Showers, toilets and wash up all plentiful and clean. Good hot water. We didn’t use the bar or restaurant on site but there is one available. Short walk down to the sea and nice bar down there. Short drive to Santander for the ferry. Bus into Santander about 600mt away and good place to spend a day.

Liked: Ease of booking via Pitchup. Conveniently 15 minutes from Santander ferry.
Disliked: Surprised by additional cost of electric hook up (€6) for an overnight stay of less than 18 hours. This is a tight little site with narrow roads and tight pitches. Suitable for units of less then 6 metres long.

Liked: The welcome at reception. The site was well looked after. The facilities block was in good order.
Disliked: The pitches were very small and driving on site with a large caravan required some concentration because of the narrowness of the site roads which had some tight turns. The toilet waste and Grey water disposal points were at one end of the site, which made it a bit of a trek for those at the opposite end and grey water containers have to be lifted over a metre to be emptied.
