What customers say
Camping pods are praised for being clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with many appreciating the fantastic location near the beach. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. However, toilet and shower block cleanliness and maintenance are recurring concerns. WiFi is pricey. The pool is popular but can be crowded; the booking system has been criticized.

Camping pod
Liked The location was fantastic we stayed in the pod which is located near the park and a place to walk the dog. Good bar selection
Disliked The swimming pool is too cold for a toddler one of the nights the food that we ordered took over two hours to come and forgot the kids food. It ended up being 10:30 pm until the kids ate. The WiFi is a fortune

Camping pod
Liked We stayed in a pod was very comfortable had everything we needed. We brought bedding but was already in there bonus!
We arrived abit early and our pod was ready so got straight in. Nice and close to beach easy walk there. Little shop on site which is handy too. Sainsbury’s very close for shopping. Reception staff very friendly and gave us a call half way through our holiday to check we were ok which was nice
Disliked The entertainment for us wasn’t what we expected the bingo went on for a while and it’s spread across a few parks so chances of winning is low. Went on for a while so we didn’t stay. The pool system is a pain but can understand why in summer season it’s busy. Would be nice though to be able to come and go to the pool as the kids went in the morning and wanted to go in the afternoon but couldn’t.

Huge site with very basic facilities. Annoying pool booking system.
Camping pod
Liked Reception staff were friendly and helpful.
Disliked WiFi is not free, and actually expensive, £8 a day. I feel like they choke the 4G as well to force the sale of WiFi packages.
It would be great if the pods could include some essentials like a kettle and mugs. I also didn't have the promised 'welcome pack'. Pods have very limited privacy, they all feel a little looked over.

Generally a lovely park with great Pods!
Camping pod
Liked The camping pods were great, good size, clean and warm and well designed. Welcome pack with washing up liquid and sponge was a nice touch. There was a mirror, broom and dustpan and brush also in the pod. Easy parking and nice grassy space at the front. Some had benches outside too. Quiet and well kept area.
Also next to the park which was a bonus for us as the kids could go and play.
Disliked The toilet block wasn’t great. Many of the toilets didn’t flush well, door locks didn’t work to well either, toilet roll holders were broken. It was generally clean but could really do with some improvements or more frequent checking by staff.
