Excellent site, level pitches, well maintained and friendly staff.
Power optional grass site
Liked Lovely well kept site excellently positioned for the ferry in Santander.Although the pitches are a little close together as we were only there a couple of nights it suited us perfectly. The restaurant was excellent and very reasonable.
Disliked The shower block really needs attention. There was nowhere to hang your clothes or towel or put your shampoo and shower gel. Pitch fees a little on the expensive side.

Handy stop-over

Liked Close to the beach, staff were nice, amenities were clean.
Disliked Pitches were a little bit small, some showers not working or needed doors fixed. Late arrivals were very noisy on site slamming car doors.

A handy site for the ferry and the A67 but one night is enough.

Liked Easy to get to from the ferry. Facilities were clean.
Disliked Pitches are very tight, and trees make manoevering a bit tricky. Shop was a poor excuse and very expensive.
Two thirds of the site was closed off so felt very crowded.
