What customers say
A tranquil, spacious campsite near the coast and pubs. Reviewers loved the clean facilities and friendly hosts. Pitch choice and the quiet, natural setting were highlights. Good value, though some found the hills tricky and noted fewer facilities at peak times. Highly recommended for a relaxing break.

Liked We had a great time camping with our kids and friends.The place is quiet, clean, and just a 10-minute drive to the beach. The highlight was the sheep roaming around — our kids were amazed! Such a peaceful and unique experience. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Great location, hilly and therefore not private site
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Communicative host, clean toilets and showers, lots of water stations dotted around the site. Beautiful surrounding and great location.
Disliked Extremely hilly site, so it’s hard to find a spot that’s flat. Because of this people tend to have to camp close to each other in some areas. The campsite has a rule of quiet after 10pm which wasn’t always adhered to, would be less of an issue if the tents weren’t as close together. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers (female can’t speak on men’s) for the whole site and times without toilet roll available.

Peaceful, relaxing and amongst the trees
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Spacious, peaceful and nestled in nature. We had a lovely couple of nights with our dog. Staff were easy to contact and friendly when we spoke with them, but otherwise we were left to our own devices. Saw many bunnies hopping around, and lots of the other wildlife.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased you enjoyed the peace and space – and that your dog had a great time too. It’s always a treat to see the local wildlife, especially the bunnies! We're glad the balance of privacy and support worked well for you, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime.
