Met straight away as we pulled onto drive and shown our pitch which they had swapped to electric hook up for us with no issues. Great location and the views are stunning, facilities clean, only a short drive to other beaches/places in that area of Wales. Thanks again.

On the whole, everything was just okay, there was a lot of noise from the busy dual carriageway that did not let up at night. Where our tent was, it was not very close to the toilet/shower facilities, couldn't find Wi-Fi even though it said on the website that there was? We felt the toilets and showers could do with an upgrade.
