Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Friendly initial welcome. Easy to find. Near a lot of shops. Plenty of toilets and showers. Nice view of the sea if you can walk that far. Electric hook ups. Chip van although expensive. Burger van but never actually saw it open?!
Disliked The first pitch allocated to us was like a trailer park. Lots of residents were making the place look messy but not helped by awful stones which need replacing, weeds, dead grass, cigarette buts and rubbish around pitch. There was no way we could have got our awning up. I was so disappointed and upset. It needed a really good clean up. The view was of the next door's washing on an airer within their fenced area and to the other side the waste master. We felt like we were intruding. I complained and was eventually greeted by a warden with a list of available pitches. He asked if I was okay. I said no and his reply was, "oh okay". We chose a grass pitch next to a family who stayed up late talking loudly, a tent playing loud music, a Greek family and a Nigerian? Family both of who made a lot of noise until very late. Where were the wardens then?! Football was played on the grass next to our van despite their being a designated pitch across the road. The toilets and showers ask you to mop after use but we're never actually clean..one disabled toilet was missing emergency cords. Both disabled toilets/showers were heavily rusted, mouldy (with black mould) and in need of an update and intensive clean.

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely secluded pitches, however our view would have changed if someone was on the plot next to us. Plot 22 offered a lovely view of rolling fields. Toilets, showers and washing up areas were really close by and others could see if you were there so turn taking worked well. Lovely winding paths to walk the dogs to the main road and beech. Not lit up at night so stars were spectacular! Owners greeted us. They were helpful and informative about the area (as were the notice boards) and did a nightly walk around but weren't intrusive. Quiet and peaceful stay. We'd definitely go again.
Disliked Electric hook up would have been nice as this cut down how long we could stay and we'd have happily stayed the week! Water buckets for BBQs need to be changed regularly as lots of insects were in them. Just a niggle, not a complaint of any sort. We loved the place!
