Liked: We were greeting very well upon arrival, the pub and it's facilities were very well kept. The kids loved playing on the park across from the pub and also running wild on the pitches. We had some lovey pub grub for our tea on Friday night.

Camping pod
Liked: We absolutely loved it here and will be returning. We came with out dog and 2 children ages 2 and 8 and stayed in the camping pod. Very clean campsite, very clean pod, very clean toilets and shower block. We went to the beach not far from the site, we also spent alot of time in the park with the kids. There was enough room for the kids to play near the pod. We also had food on our second night for my partners birthday. Food was beautiful and the staff were so friendly and went above and beyond. We will be returning to this site next time we go for a little break away.
Disliked: Nothing.

Camping pod
Liked: Excellent, friendly hosts! Pod was well laid out and very toasty in the night. Quiet site in a lovely location. Food in the pub was great too (lots of options for people with dietary requirements too!). Price is very reasonable for a pod with power, heating and furniture. We had a lovely time!
Disliked: The BBQ rules were a bit unclear - pitchup gave us the impression no BBQs were allowed but there was a little one outside the pod.
