Liked: Cheap and convenient. Farm animals and small play area. Friendly staff. Very cheap and only a 10min walk to the beach. Don't expect 5 star because your not paying for five star. It had everything we needed: grass to pitch a tent on and toilets/ water. Perfect 😃
Disliked: I could find any lights in the toilet block.

Liked: Nothing, it cost us £28 as we had two dogs with us, we drove in turned round and drove straight back out! Be warned it looks nothing like the photos! An absolute mess, and by the way… we are not snobby campers!

From the manager: I wish you had explained in what way it's an 'absolute mess',was it because the grass hadn't been cut? We grow the grass for hay but cut the perimeter for camping on(which has now been done),then it will be cut and bailed in July.All the photos are genuine ,mostly put up by campers.It will never be a pristine site as it is a farm site,

Liked: Liked the view was stunning. The field wasn’t too wet and the facility’s were good.
Disliked: The geese attacked me even if I was sat at my tent I shared the field with the farm yard animals. Granted we went at the start of the season but expected the geese to be put away at night but they wasn’t and went through my bin and washing up at 2am with woke us all up.

From the manager: We are so sorry about the geese,our problem is they are nesting and chose to make their nests by the bar,as soon as they have hatched they will be going in the animal field out of the way. We are so pleased that you liked everything else and thankyou for your review.

Liked: There was grass. Always hot water.
Disliked: Everything. This is without doubt the worst campsite I have ever stayed in; it is difficult to say anything positive. The campsite is generally messy and very badly kept; there were two old sinks dumped right outside the toilet block with numerous old caravans and machinery/tools dumped at various locations over the site. The shower block, if you can call it that is horrendous. The showers are basically garden huts with showers/toilet/basin in them. They are very poorly ventilated and not fit for purpose in any way. As they have toilets in them you take a shower next to where someone else goes to the loo very unpleasant. There was always grass on the floor. Awful. The toilet block, although new, is shoddily built and has no lighting making it unusable at night. There are just 4 working toilets in the block (1 cubicle was locked and unusable) with two basins. It was always full of grass and cleaned infrequently. 4 toilets/2 basins is not enough for the site. The washing up area was another garden hut; Dirty, lights that were not working and generally too small for the 2 washing up sinks in there. Nearby beach is lovely, and the pub about 7 mins away nice too.

From the manager: Given all your issues,I'm surprised you stayed the 4 nights you booked! The shower rooms do need some work this winter granted but having toilet,sink and shower makes it easy to do all you need to do rather than going to a different toulet block then back to a shower(unless of course you wee in the shower eeuuugghh).The locked cubicle in the girls toilets is where all the cleaning equipment is kept and the 2 basins outside are ready to go in the mens toilets next door,we don't sell ourselves as an all singing all dancing site,we are a basic farm site for families who appreciate nature not holiday parks! The vast majority of our campers like it how it is as can be seen by the many,many returns we get each year.
Good site, excellent positioned

Liked: I liked the location. Easy walk to the beach and choice of 2 pubs/bars within easy reach. The showers were quirky and good water pressure. The kids loved the farm animals and the trampolines.
Disliked: There was a bit of a smell after the rain where we’d camped (just down from the loo block) but it was just that one day an only in that area.
