A aimé Small, intimate campsite. Pretty wild feeling. Courteous campers. The toilets were clean with plenty of soap and toilet roll. Great to be right across the road from a lovely big pub that had friendly locals and a solid Turkish menu. There’s also a more upmarket pub and a Spar in the village. And it’s a 10-min drive to the big Tesco Extra if you need proper supplies. At nighttime the area is peaceful and on a clear night you’ll be able to see the stars. There were some lovely big bats flying around at dusk. There are friendly donkeys, goats, chickens, and ducks on the farm. Easy access by car to local beaches and castles.

N'a pas aimé Not worth the £40. I’ve stayed places with far better facilities for less. There is just one shower and two toilets on a small field that can facilitate probably around 11 pitches. The lights in the toilet block only work at night, so during the day you’re peeing in the dark. The shower shed has a clear plastic roof but no light, so you need a torch to shower at night. BBQs are not allowed and the cooking facilities are basic — a toaster, fridge, and kettle. I feel if you’re going to prohibit people from BBQing food, it’s sensible to offer something like an electric stove or microwave. The road next to the site carries heavy load traffic (tractors, buses, gas trucks) in the mornings, even on a Sunday, so the night time’s peace is over by 7am. It’s not a bad site at all — we really enjoyed — it’s just overpriced IMO.

A aimé - The location (great access to local beaches) - The views - The host - The friendly but hands-off approach - The small site - The eco toilet and shower - horses, dogs, and a chicken next door

N'a pas aimé I only wish there were two loos so you: A) didn’t feel pressured to do your business in a rush in case someone B) didn’t have to wait for your turn But it’s a new site, so of course you need to start small :)

A aimé The chill vibe. It was quiet for a Saturday. Great showers. Hot, unlimited water. Clean bathroom facilities with even a hairdryer! Friendly locals passing by on the path around the site, stopping for a chat. Wildlife: Some very brave robins coming to eat from our hands and we saw some bats in a nearby field. Easy access to local pub in the next village (10 min walk) and quick drive to the big supermarket. Near to the coast and some amazing walks.

N'a pas aimé Shame we couldn’t access the shop and bar which were both closed when we arrived (3pm Saturday).

A aimé We were so happy to be able to make a last minute booking to camp for the night (45 mins before bookings closed!). The site is situated in beautiful surroundings and covers a huge area. The camping fields are surrounded by woodland and dotted with flowers and gorse bushes. The birdsong in the morning was incredible. We found that there was enough space between campers and didn't feel overlooked while still being able to interact with others when necessary/desired. The site is well equipped with a shop (selling everything from toys, to camping equipment and alcohol) that offered fire pits to rent, plus a cafe (offering GF breakfast baps), bar, and seating area. You could easily remain onsite with everything you need there on hand for a long stay. We were happy with the price of £30 per night for an idyllic setting with modern, well maintained facilities, friendly staff, and access to mod cons. I wish we'd had the time to stay longer.

N'a pas aimé There could be more showers onsite. I wonder if in summer there are queues.
