VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2024

We've just arrived home after a two night stay at the site, using the touring section of the park. What a great little site, well positioned with great views. A short walk to the beautiful beaches, crossing the golf course. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The washing and cleaning facilities were first class, a bit windy for crazy golf this time, but we will be back for a shot.

One night in September
