Liked: The views were amazing. Jeff was lovely. The people on site were lovely.
Disliked: The toilets. It's my own preference, though, they were well built, and sheltered from the wind, but there's only 2 situated ages away from the clifftop camping

Quiet with lots of space for the dogs. Jeff is very friendly…

Liked: INCREDIBLE view, best campsite view I’ve ever had looking over the sea. Jeff was a lovely host! Thank you! The campsite was clean, the showers were hot and the toilets were kept very tidy / didn’t smell. Will absolutely be coming back at some point.
Disliked: No bins - not too much of an issue as we took our bin bags with us and found public bins elsewhere.

Liked: Easy to find location, Very large field with a relaxed atmosphere. Pitch up without restriction. When we stayed there was plenty of room around our vehicle. The view to the sea, uninterrupted and we had the best sunset of our week away by a country mile. After a five minute walk on the coast path, you are at the nearest beach. Further beaches 20 minutes the other way. That's the basics covered, we absolutely loved the wild camping vibe, but with the comfort of what are superb facilities. Shower shacks, worked extremely well, and the most invigorating we have had in ages. Toilets super clean and well attended to. Jeff was very easy going and a pleasure to meet. He takes a real interest in people on site. This place is utterly brilliant in every way.
