Unpowered grass site
Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Everything. Upon arrival we had to drive down a dirt track which was decorated with scrap cars & caravans. The grass hadn't been cut in the camping field, the 'toilet block' was a shed. There were no pitches so we chose a spot away from the residents living in caravans which meant we were quite a distance from the toilets. We stayed for 10 minutes & booked an alternative site.

From the manager: Shame you didn't look around a bit more,you may have found the actual toilets which are block built,you must have only found the beach hut wet rooms which are being refurbished.I, not sure if you realised by the fact we have sheep,goats,pigs etc but we are a small holding so the middle of the field is grown for hay,leaving the perimeter for camping on,the hay will be bailed in July opening up the whole field again.We do not have any residents but we do have seasonal pitch holders who pay for a seasonal pitch and can then come and go as much as they like. The scrap cars you say are on the track are in fact contained within a yard and belong to a different business,a car breakers who has come to the rescue of quite a few campers over the years if they have had car problems.Hope this helps explain a few things to you.
Quiet, close to beach…

Liked: Quiet, close to beach
Disliked: We perhaps picked this location too far out of season (15th May). Site was empty just locals which seem to live there in their caravans, they didn’t seem too keen to see us.
Shower facilities were in sheds with limited lighting.
Seemed different to online pics, however given benefit of the doubt it was due to being out of season maybe?

From the manager: Thankyou for taking time to leave a review,yes early season can be very quiet,our bar and restaurant only open weekends too. We don't have any locals living here but we do have some seasonal pitch holders who can come and go whenever they like over the course of a season.We don't use bright lights anywhere as given the wonderful skies that we have we want to cause minimal light pollution.Maybe you would like to give us another try at a busier time of year,we have live bands on Saturdays throughout the main season aswell as disco karaoke on Fridays.

Liked: Close to nature
Disliked: Dirty toilets, showers, shabby bar and cold welcome
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: very surprised on the 'shabby bar' comment as when you arrived the actual bar was being sanded out ready for it's waxing!hardly 'shabby' lol 'cold welcome'? it would have been Roo that checked you in(he was also the one sanding the bar) and is well known for his friendliness and the showers/toilets are in the middle of having new floors so may not look at their best but will be so much better than they were.
very low maintenance, quiet site, close to the beach.…

Liked: very low maintenance, quiet site, close to the beach.
Disliked: Was instructed to check in on arrival, however there was no where to check in and no one on site.
Toilets had no loo roll, hand roll and were not cleaned for the entirety of our 48 hour stay.
The site was clearly not ready for the beginning of season, with a tip run needed. Not worth £18 per night.

A perfect place for someone who is travelling with young children.

Liked: It was peaceful as hardly anyone there luckily. The weather was good to us! The farm animals were cute. We didn’t see anyone.
Disliked: Unfortunately no paper hand towels in the ladies for the weekend we were there.
Paid £10 for our dog-more than for the 3 of us!

Liked: Absolutely nothing
Disliked: Dirty untidy entrance
Dirty uncleaned bar/clubhouse
Toilets and showers were the most disgusting unhygienic cesspit I have ever seen.
The photographs used to advertise the site are old and very misleading.
This site was so bad that we left after one night having paid for three.

From the manager: the shower rooms are getting new floors for 2025 as even scrubbing cannot remove the mould,so new floors correctly draining.
Relaxed atmosphere with lots of space. Clean toilet block and lovely showers.…

Liked: Quiet , the pub and band were good.
Disliked: Entrance to the site was very run down , not very welcoming and appealing, a clean up and tidy up would be good..
Grass could benefit from a cut as it was a long way to walk in wet grass to the loo from the bottom of the field.
