Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Campsite may be only £10 a night but it's in a field edged by a load of houses which look out over the field, be warned the quarry nearby starts splitting rocks with a repetitive bang bang bang from 7.00am onwards even on a Saturday it was so loud it woke me up in a panic it sounded like it was right next to the tent, if you want to sleep until later then 7.00am and not be in the middle of an housing estate then choose another campsite, we didn't stay for the 2nd night that we had booked, we went and found a more pleasant campsite for a few more quid

Liked: The setup is really nice, basic but really nice, loads of space for the kids to run around. The kids loved the animals, especially the sheep wandering around the campsite.

Liked: We really enjoyed our two-night stay at Hallett's during the August bank holiday weekend. Upon arrival we were able to pick whatever pitch we'd like from the three spacious fields on offer. This site doesn't have any showers but this is reflected in the low price. There is a toilet block with proper flushable toilets, which were really clean during our stay. We loved seeing the animals next door to the site too! The location of the site is fantastic and not too far from the South West Coastal Path, so we had some lovely walks during our visit. There is also a fish and chip shop (CODFATHERS) and convenience store (Co-op) a short walk away.
