Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (TV aerial)
Liked: Great quiet pitch. Golf course and swimming pool onsite was great. Decent shop. Lovely walks and beach nearby. Nice modern showers/toilets.
Disliked: Pool was closed when we arrived for staff training. Restaurant only serving pizzas. Bike tracks advertised on their website have obviously not been open for a long time so not sure why website not updated. Driving range closed for no apparent reason which reception didn’t seem to know about. Golf booking seemed to be a bit of a free for all as 3 groups there at our tee off time. Pool timings not ideal as not allowed in till other group out - need a 5/10 min gap between groups. Lockers take 20p and don’t return which was inconvenient when locking twice. Changing room floor filthy - didn’t look like it had been properly cleaned for a while. Did not like the communal toilet/shower block. Unsure why since recently renovated area they didn’t make one make and one female.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Reception staff on arrival were very friendly.
Location is great , right next to the sea.
Electric hook up.
Club House.
Views.
Toilet/shower block nearest reception were very nice - the other block was a bit dated.
Disliked: Shop closed early without notice.
A lot of “staff training”
Our pitch was nice but not very big.
Further into the camp site it was a bit of an eye sore - could do with serious landscaping.
Wi Fi was great in our tent as we were right behind the plane - but elsewhere it was non existent. Either have it or don’t.
Not much for older kids to do. Could maybe do with a football pitch.

Liked: Really lovely site and a great park for the children
I loved the customer service I cant remember her name but one lady was so nice and very good with everything
Disliked: Had some food in the leisure club and it was very dry and would get it again
The park could do with a light for night time even just for people walking across the park for the toilet blocks
Toilet blocks could do with a update
Would recommend mor water points put in

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Close to the beach
Disliked: Worst place Iv ever stayed
Between the Screaming and shouting on the park well after 1am and the dogs barking all night we had zero sleep
Couldn’t get into the pool as it is well undersized for the size of the site. And apparently fully booked
Very expensive £30 per night non electric pitch. Pitched right out the way from any toilet blocks. 20 min uphill walk to the complex. I had to drive to the toilet blocks
The entertainment complex had no beer on tap and were charging 4.40 for a warm bottle of madri straight from the multi pack bought in a supermarket.
Showers and toilet blocks were filthy and witnessed the cleaner marking on the sheet it had been cleaned and walked off.
The bins were overflowing and people were cleaning there chemical disposals in the drinking water points.
If I hadn’t of drove 3 and a half hours I was going to leave on the first night.
Zero phone reception
I’m glad I only camped if I had of payed for a caravan rental or something I’d be even more angry at having absolutely nothing to do on the site at all. Glad we didn’t take the kids as other than the small playground there would have been absolutely nothing else to entertain them.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Great pitches, huge! Very well maintained. Toilets and showers kept clean. Great play area for the little ones! Lovely scenery and plenty of walks.
Disliked: The clubhouse seems rather small considering the capacity of the sight. Food was lovely, when it came, 90 mins after we ordered it!

In a lovely area for walks with the dog both on beach…

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: In a lovely area for walks with the dog both on beach and in woodland.
Disliked: Not the best site we have stayed on.
The site needs attention in some areas to smarten it up.
All the bins were overflowing which was both unsightly and a health hazard.
No lighting on the site.
Very slow food service in the club house.
Level good sized pitches.
