Liked: Love the pitchup site and clean toilet block with shower, lovely farm land fields surrounding the campsite!
Disliked: On this occasion as i have been a few times before, noisy dogs barking after midnight, and people talking loud in the early hours, it is usually quite!

Liked: Nice quiet adults only site. Fairly large field, Situated behind the Star pub. The pitches are mainly grass with a few hard standing ones, fairly level, & there is a small toilet & shower block , nice clean & warm facilities. Pub food is good & staff were friendly. Fields/footpath behind the site were good for dog walks although a little overgrown. Would definitely stay here again

Liked: Fabulous quite setting. Well set out level pitches with beautiful views and lovely seating area . Toilet/shower block was amazing, extremely clean. The washing up area had a large sink and cleaning equipment to use. The Star Inn was inviting and friendly. Food was good and reasonably priced. Again very clean and the decor was modern with a nod to the history of The Star. Outside pergola seating area was very tastefully done. We have 3 dogs and they were very accommodating and welcoming so we were able to relax with our fur babies. Great dog walk across the feilds to the sea basin. We will definitely return š„°
Disliked: No dislikes. As someone else mentioned in another comment maybe a hook on the outside of the shower door so clothes don't get wet or even a bench/rack by sinks.

Liked: Our second stay at this site and we will definitely be back. The facilities are always very clean and of a high standard. The site is adult only and is quiet, laidback, and always has a very friendly atmosphere. The pub to the front of the site is also lovely, with great food and entertainment throughout the summer months. Highly recommend.
