Liked: Location was perfect! And very good price.
Disliked: No one visible when we arrived or throughout our stay. No one came over to "check in" or anything, wouldn't have known how to make contact with the owners should we have needed - thankfully we didn't need, but a 'hello' would've been good.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Stayed here last year and this year just as good if not better. Pitch better than last year as Thistles all gone. Toilets clean and did hear might have showers next year. Plenty of room for the kids to play and make friends.
Disliked: Some Dogs not on leads. Had one dog mess by our tent, had to get owner to clean up (luckily we were there at the time).

Liked: Brilliant place to go off grid. Very quiet and peaceful. Just hop across the dunes and there’s stunning beaches. Toilets were very clean. If you want to get away from it all this is the perfect place.

Liked: Flat site, stunning field views with amazing sunsets (back of field). Pitch where you like. Quiet, no light pollution, friendly/communicative owners - all the basics you need & hot shower nearby at Sea Palling toilets. In the sea within minutes for early swim, bliss! Simplicity & nature in stunning location.
Disliked: No lights inside portaloos at night.

Liked: The tent had everything you could ask for and more ! Kids loved the games and I loved the little bottles of wine! Location fantastic right on the beach. Beds very comfortable. Very friendly family run business. Thanks for making our holiday great
Disliked: I wouldn’t say this is a dislike and I was aware of the no showers before I came and obviously this is reflected in the price but if you want to make it even better then a shower would be an added bonus
