Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Excellent staff who all pretty much seem to love and take pride in what they do. Great views of the sunset from our pitch Facilities were clean and well maintained Onsite bar with ice cream and snacks was perfect to return to after trip to the beach Firepit and logs provided seemed reasonably priced Walk to the beach (although longer than advertised 15 mins) was beautiful. Access via a fern gully was a delightful walk.
Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The quiet rural location & the helpful/friendly staff.
Disliked: £30 seems a lot for a one night pitch, where you have to pay for a shower (£0.50) the showers were blistering hot 7 awkward to adjust, by the time it had settled down the time was halfway gone (Roughly 3 mins). The ladies showers were not indicated as which cubicle, so my daughter had to change showers once the water had started, then the shower was way to hot, so once adjusted it stopped...

This site is overpriced for the facilities.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Very nice area with a beautiful walk to the sea.
Disliked: We were allocated a pitch in the bottom field which has no facilities such as a water point. It is quite a walk to the toilets, only two cubicles in each of the men's and womens and no urinals - inadequate for the number of pitches. There is no disposal point for chemical toilets.

Liked: The location and views are beautiful. The pitch was a good size. Staff are very helpful and super friendly. We got a very warm welcome. Will definitely be booking again.

Liked: We were given a good sized pitch with our 3 friends a-joining being able to have a communal area with lots of space for the kids to play. Great views and sunset from campsite and lovely pub up the road with some live music on the Saturday. Great location to explore different local beaches and coast line
Disliked: Tractor driving up and down site at 9.00 at night to deliver fire pits made it a bit more challenging to get 2 year olds to sleep. As this could of been completed at the start of the evening. Otherwise was a nice quiet family campsite
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear the tractor disturbed your family. Unfortunately several campers experienced difficulty on the M4 arriving later than scheduled. However, we do feel 9pm is probably rather late and will change the times for delivery. Very much hope to see you in the future. Philippa
First time camping and loved the site will definitely book again.

Liked: Very quiet and tranquil site with lovely surroundings. Phillipa is a very attentive, welcoming host. The toilet/shower blocks were very clean. Good restaurant/cafe onsite with small bar as well. Missed the entrance on the first two passes as expecting to see a larger campsite sign at the entrance rather than a smallish white sign. Rugged beach nearby about a 25 minute walk through nature reserve. Rocky path unsuitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs and those with less mobility. If you do make it, then the rock strata is spectacular. Internet OK but mobile phone signal not very good.
Disliked: Bit of a faff having to leave shower cubicle to insert 50p into the shower meter.
