Likte How quiet the sits was.

Likte ikke Lack of showers n toilets both male and female.
Lack of service in the toilets for toilet roll and the ladies were not very clean according to my partner.

Ladies showers were overflowing and the bins were overflowing.

Tent pitches not very well kept huge cracks and big roots growing up needs more upkeep tbh.

Likte A great flat camping site.

Likte ikke A few things....

Our power supply, didn't work. it cost me a new leisure battery to confirm it was the site not my van that was the issue.

I told the staff who seemed not that interested and said I should just hook up to another outlet. Not that easy when you have fully pitched the awning.

We ended up having to move our van 8 ft so we could plug in across the road. a bit annoying as we would have preferred to have stayed attached.

The bathroom facility's were ok but lacking in numbers. The site can have 90 groups staying in the field and there are 2 showers for each sex... but they were hot and clean.

And this is not a quiet and friendly site. large groups do camp together and some of the large groups seem to enjoy a large amount of herbal relaxation in the evening... not great when your putting your daughter to bed explaining the funny smoky smell from the neighbors!

But things quietened down around 10:30 pm.

An ok stay but I dont think we'll be heading back next year.

Likte It was lovely and peaceful and not too far away from Charmouth and Lyme Regis perfect for our fossil hunting holiday!

Likte ikke Phone signal wasn't great, which caused our 5 year old to have a little melt down due to not being able to watch her tablet.

Likte ikke Toilets were not cleaned often at all and were very dirty, they ran out of toilet paper aswell.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Glenda

Many thanks for your review.

Apologies that our toilet roll ran out at 6 a.m. and that this ruined the entire stay for you. I’m afraid our staff don’t work at this hour. But once we were back on duty, the issue was soon fixed.

To confirm, our shower blocks are cleaned daily, and looking at our other reviews, it seems shower block cleanliness is the least of people’s concerns.

We appreciate this ruined your stay, but for a family-run business, a review of your stature can really harm a business. Hopefully, next time you can speak to your hosts or the owner before you try to hurt another business.

Many thanks

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay, Jamsey! We’re really pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet, and that our amenities were up to standard. We do try to give guests plenty of space to relax without feeling overmanaged, so it’s great to hear that came across.

Kind Regards TDH

Likte Everything about the pitch was great! Having the decking area to pitch on or use as a deck is great! Even having a toilet right next to you saving the morning run across site was a massive bonus. 30 mins to some beautiful beaches! Would definitely stay again!

Fra bestyreren: Hi James

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us in July.

It’s great to hear the electric grass pitch worked out well for you — the decking area is one of our favourite features too, and we’re glad the private bathroom facilities saved you that morning dash across the site! It’s also good to know the location worked well for exploring the nearby beaches.
Thanks again for recommending us to friends and for saying you’d visit again — that means a lot to us. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Many thanks
TDH
