Liked: The site was well kept and clean. Lovely cafe onsite and the views are unbeatable.
Disliked: Shop could have a bit more to offer, we were looking for walking guides for walks near campsite. The bar was brilliant but only open on a Saturday we would have liked the bar open more as the kids loved the play area.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Great little location! Friendly, quiet and rustic! Loved it. All facilities were clean.
Disliked: Showers were absolutely spotless - so clean. A little tight to get changed in but totally doable…would have been so much easier without welly boots but the weather gods were not kind to us. And wellies to the showers were a must.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Friendly welcome. Very quiet, perfect for our stay with our dog. Beautiful views. Good hardstanding and hard-core road to pitches. We used the fire bowl one evening with friends. Good site for families. Lovely walks and beaches nearby. Nice dark site for seeing the stars...bring a torch.
Disliked: Shower felt unsteady on the floor. 2 unisex showers in one room which would leave one unusable if you lock the door for privacy unless you're a couple or family.

From the manager: We are sorry for you didn’t enjoy your time at Farway Countryside Park. Unfortunately your booking was on the night of our end of summer party, we fully appreciate this was not made clear through our pitch up account. We will endeavour to advertise our customer events more clearly in the future.
