Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Peace and quiet, clean and sheltered. Pub food very good. Hosts very friendly and helpful.
No shops in the village so make sure you are supplied, otherwise towns and shops not far away in a vehicle
Disliked Not enough toilets and showers for 5 pitches full of people. Ok if you don’t mind taking your turn etc. luckily, on the Sunday night everyone else left, so we had the facilities to ourselves
Lovely and cozy site where the staff were extremely friendly.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The pitch was easy to use and had an electric hook up. The toilet and shower room were easy to use and clean. The pub seemed nice however was closed when we got there due to being bank holiday. It was close to the beach and the local area was beautiful. It was perfect for our little stay.
Disliked Only one shower and two toilets I queued most times I needed to go. The washing up was the same sink as the toilet so you would occupy it when washing up so people couldn't use it.
Excellent site, friendly staff and would recommend.
Camping pod
Liked Very friendly welcome from staff. Liked that there were appliances in the Pod. Fire pit is good.
Good value for money.
Really good food in the Lowther Arms.
Lovely beaches nearby.
Disliked Separate washing up area to toilets would be useful.
