Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: -
Disliked: The open, luke warm showers and toilets weren't for us. Might have been ok in August, but too cold to shower in a dark, drafty, open construction. Everywhere was very clean and well maintained. Really did not like the 'renewable energy' policy of switching the (6 amp) electricity off every night between 11.30pm and 6.30am whilst still charging £27 per night. You can pay a few more pounds a night and have luxury (or at least 24hr electricity). It is probably great for basic tented campers, but it wasn't for us. This is not a good advocate for the use of renewable energy, in fact it emphasises the negatives. We were glad to move on after 3 cold nights.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Peaceful location.
Disliked: An attempt at being eco friendly by not having electric overnight but no recycling options. All waste ends up in one bin. The toilets and showers are single cubicles with intentional gaps at the top and bottom of the doors meaning you’re cold 🥶. Self check in was a joke with two parties allocated to one pitch. Checkout at 10.30. Feels like this site wants maximum payment for minimum effort.

Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch
Liked: Peace and quiet, very clean site, flush toilets with washing facilities, close to loads of attractions, beaches, towns, castles. On site bar. For camper vans, hook up, pitch has plenty of room for awning. Reasonable pitch fee, would use again.
Disliked: Could do with a small shop or kiosk for basics but not a deal breaker.
