Primitive grass campsite
Liked Unspoiled views, very peaceful, well maintained, quiet. Check in was very easy and the site was easy to find.
Disliked No bins, no roof on showers (hot water though!). No WiFi if that's something you want/need. A little expensive for what it was

Orchard 1 bedroom cabin
Liked Cabin was rustic just what we were looking for. Had all amenities needed, and the fire was an added benefit. Felt in the middle of nowhere.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Nice flat field which has plenty of space to park up. Toilets are basic but clean. Can walk in to Clarach where you can use the bars of the two big caravan parks. Walk to the right hand side of the beach to find the dog area, which does have some sandy parts.
Disliked Signage in to site is poor and it is easy to miss the turning. Be warned the showers are truly "outdoors" so used our own. The fags to the footpath need to be made bigger/more obvious.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Beautiful field. Really peaceful. Toilet and showers simple but great. I liked your shelter. It was great that you had a kettle to make tea with and a place to shelter from a storm.
Disliked Loved it.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked If you are looking for a site that is quiet and peaceful and back to nature then this is the site for you. It has beautiful views and is near Clarach Bay. Loved the open topped shower and covered kitchen area. The toilets are clean but a little basic (cold water, no hand dryer or paper towels).
Disliked The welcome email does try and indicate where the entrance is, we still drove past it when arriving early evening. Once you are aware, it is not a problem.
Having stayed at other pitchup sites previously, it is a little pricey by comparison. However, this is definitely a site to visit again, especially peaceful as long as you stay well away from the road!

Primitive grass campsite
Liked The views and close to beach .Relaxed feel ,choosing our own spot .The peace and tranquility!lovely vibes x
Disliked Not too sure about open top showers 😀.Only used right one (so can't speak for the other ),it was cold and shower tray was overflowing .It was very busy and understand this could have been town to the sheer amount of usage !Would definitely stay again though .

Liked excellent location and absolutely lovely cabin arrangement -- self-contained and quiet
