Great place to base up and relax to watch the sunset
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (family)
Liked I really like the location of coast and castles. It allows us to pitch up and explore whether it was via the van or walking or with the bikes and in the evening it was great to come back knowing that the gent would be open for a swift half plenty of space and a small park which was on site, which was helpful to keep the kids entertained
Disliked There isn’t much to dislike here and it all depends on the person, but for us it was perfect

Perfect for a Chilled Get Away
Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch
Liked Absolutely loved our stay here. The whole site has such a laidback, peaceful feel—super clean and really well looked after. The facilities were spot on, and the bar and café added a lovely social touch without being too busy. Best of all, it’s just a scenic 30-minute stroll to the beach. Perfect for a chilled getaway!
Disliked Check out times too early being 10:30am. Up early and mad rush to pack up the campervan and dispose of our chemical waste.

A lovely little place well worth more than 1 visit.
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (family)
Liked Lovely little campsite with a rustic theme. On-site bar and food outlet, with visiting food outlets. Toilets, showers, clean up areas and plenty of space. Close enough to walk to a beach and a big town close by.
Disliked Kept nutting the door in the toilet when standing from sitting. Showers could have individual heating controls.
