Liked: The beach Quiet Friendly Freedom to select pitch in nominated area. We had a lovely stay on a nice level part of the field. Easy access to the water for all pitches. The kids loved getting their wetsuits on and into the water followed up with dinner then roasted marshmallows. Would love to visit again - especially if we could get the same good weather!!

Liked: Campsite very clean and tidy . Great views . Right next to the beach .
Disliked: Decided to come here after reading the reviews that it was a quiet site . Unfortunately it wasn’t quiet at night when we were there . There was a group who were very loud , laughing and shouting until 2am , the second night was the same but only until about midnight .

Liked: Perfect location with amazing views. Very peaceful when we visited early in September. Parked up almost on the beach and loved watching the tide come in and out. Basic facilities of water and waste disposal point but that's what we like. Received a very warm welcome. The bay is a lovely to place walk, swim or kayak.

Liked: We loved this site. The location is amazing and we couldn't be happier with our stay. So peaceful with easy check in and lovely people. It's also so dark at night so we had fantastic views, I don't think we have seen so many stars before.
Disliked: Nothing at all, it was perfect.
