Liked: Unusual site, complete with airstrip - one camper flew in! Bus stop right outside the site with buses to Seaton and Sidmouth. Made to feel welcome by owners Chris and Tracie.
Disliked: Toilets and showers stretched at the weekend. No buses on Sunday.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Liked the dog paddock, it was very useful for mornings and evenings at the campsite. The facilities were really good, as was the location.
Disliked: The only thing I really disliked was one night there were other campers with music playing for quite a while and fairly loudly when I was trying to sleep.

From the manager: Thank you for the review, we just wished you had said at the time about loud music, we have a no loud noise after 11pm and we could have dealt with it for you

Liked: Good facilities, nice fenced dog area, owners were lovely and helpful, easy to find. Walkable to the coast path.
Disliked: Limited non electric pitches on flatish ground. Was moderately busy so had to camp on a slope.
