Liked: Beautiful site overlooking the sea. Pool, entertainment and shop on site.
Disliked: Lots of gypsies in the touring pitches. Totally taken over the laundry room, washing piled all over it, laundry drying outside over fences and gates. Feral children running wild, destroying the shower block. Rubbish strewn all over it, toilet paper pushed in the plug holes, faeces smeared on the walls, used sanitary products left on the floor. Shower block door wedged open so that anyone can walk in at any time. If you want to join the travelling community then this is the place for you. Avoid.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Loads for 8 yr old and 9 yr old grandkids to do swimming , parks , beach very close . Touring pitches hard stand electric hook up was plentiful , water and waste areas close to hand . Toilets and showers were very clean and on site for tourers. Sea views . Staff friendly and helpful . Enjoyed our stay .
Disliked: Wasn’t impressed with security as asked to look in my bag as I went into book swimming , I had 2 young children with me . Touring pitches could do with a bit of a tidy up looked a bit unkept . Only given 40 mins in the pool and not given the option to re book . Wasn’t aware there was Wi-Fi as not given any info for this

Liked: The location for our visit to See Bruce Springsteen in Sunderland
Disliked: On arrival toilets showers were spotless following day the women’s were horrendous no toilet paper and filthy not cleaned for 3 days (according to my wife). 25 hours of rain so most pitches were flooded and mud everywhere we did ask to move but the option was next to some rather loud guests so we stayed in the waterlogged pitch
