What customers say
Great spot near the beach with super staff and a tidy site. Spacious pitches and good facilities, incl. hot showers, get lots of praise. Food options like fish and chips and a coffee van are popular. Beach access is steep but has amazing views. Some mention noise & wish for a shop; Wi-Fi is limited.

Anonymous Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Walking distance to the beach
Clean facilities
Helpful staff
Peaceful (visited off season)
Disliked Long term pitches mixed with "normal" pitches wouldn't normally bother us, however when they take up a pitch and a half and look like the Clampetts live there, it does! Other long term's had lovely garden decorations, bird feeders, pretty lights up etc. This was unsightly and not the view we were expecting. Fortunately we were moved due to some pitch mix ups, (the staff were lovely) so that problem resolved itself. However it did lower the appearance of the site in my opinion.
Would return if we could select our plot.

Still enjoyed our stay, though wouldnt return due to the negatives
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Nice place, cleaned and well maintained and friendly staff.
Disliked Wasn not happy that we were told to move so someone who would be gone before us could have the pitch for just a weekend. Pitch we were told to move to was not free, so we were then moved next to the bins which isnt the best location. The place sounds like an animal shelter at times as many dogs are jsut left to bark at other dogs to the point of ridiculous. Nobody seems to keep their dogs on leads or even attempt to shut them up when they go off.
