Plenty to keep the kids occupied
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Every member of staff who I encountered on my visit was friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. Considering this was my first time on a camping site it exceeded my expectations and my kids are already planning our next trip!

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Lovely park, had a great view of the sea from our pitch.
Site very clean. Good value for money, except for the fact that you have to purchase wi-fi when you get there.
Disliked Another park that charges £10 for 24 hours wi-fi, which to be honest - the signal isnt the greatest.

Liked The view from our touring pitch was lovely, overlooking the sea. The entertainment in the showbar was great, and the food in the restaurant and from the takeaway were delicious. Drinks reasonably priced. Very well stocked shop on site.
Disliked No tv reception in zone A, we were offered a "cable" to help this at a £10 deposit.

From the manager: We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the stunning sea views from your pitch, the entertainment and the delicious food from both the restaurant and takeaway. It's also great to know you found our on-site shop well stocked and our drink prices reasonable we really appreciate your comments.
We understand the frustration regarding TV reception in Zone A and are sorry for any inconvenience this caused. Due to the location and terrain, reception can sometimes be limited in certain areas, which is why we offer a cable solution with a fully refundable deposit.
Thanks again for staying with us we hope to welcome you back soon.

Brilliant site , very clean , Beautiful views!
Gold 3 bedroom static caravan (no pets)
Liked We as a family really enjoyed our stay , perfect caravan for a perfect view to wake up to every morning (G21) , Caravan was lovely and spacious. Entertainment on the park was great especially Lewis Wilson he's fantastic with all ranges from kids to granny and papas! Will definitely be back next year for another long weekend! We had the take away service twice love how they text you when it's ready saves you standing about waiting, Food was lovely and we had all ranges.
Disliked My only dislike was the amusements as only £1 & 10p machines, Would have been better with 2p machines like other sites and wee toys in them to try and win makes them more exciting, Expensive if you've more than 1 child on site.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review. We're absolutely delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay in G21 it really does have one of the best views, and we're so pleased it helped make your break extra special.
It's great to hear that the caravan met your expectations in terms of space and comfort, and that you enjoyed the entertainment on site we'll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to Lewis Wilson. We're also glad you found the takeaway text service helpful and that the food hit the mark for your whole group.
We really appreciate your constructive feedback as well. We're sorry to hear about the issues with the bathroom lock and the panel by the front door that's certainly not what we’d want for any of our guests, and we’ll make sure these are looked into immediately to avoid future incidents.
Regarding the amusements, we understand how the cost can add up, especially with multiple children, and we’ll definitely pass your comments along to the park team as they always value guest feedback when reviewing their facilities.
We're also sorry to hear about your experience in the shop that’s not the standard of service we expect, and we’ll share your feedback with the appropriate team to ensure improvements are made.
Thanks again for choosing to stay with us and for your kind words despite the few hiccups. We'd absolutely love to welcome you and your family back to G21 next year for another memorable weekend.
