Single Axle Caravan - Grass Touring Pitches (Optional Electric)Aug 2024

The good. The location is fab and the pitches are large, with plenty of space for kids to play. A tail pitch area very tidy and a play park was a bonus for my daughter. There were no staff at all the entire weekend Self check-in meant no campsite or local knowledge shared and shop was always closed - no Wi-Fi. When we left on the Monday, a cleaner had been in but that was the only person we saw. The facilities are located at the entrance, so quite far from the furthest pitches and with the weather blowing a gale, was hard to use them for washing up etc. Could use a few more hedgerows as very exposed to elements, we did not use our awning for fear of it blowing away. We always use the shop if there is one listed, so when it didn't open, was a bit disappointing. We would not return but would recommend to others with some knowledge of the above.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Sorry you did not see me apart from when I was cleaning the shower block. There is a bell on the shop door and the welcome board that can be used to access the shop or ask any questions you might have. I am glad that you located your pitch from the details on the welcome board. I did walk to your pitch on several occasions but there was no vehicle present. When the wind blows it does catch us but the wind during your stay was extremely strong and kept changing direction. Sorry if this spoiled your stay with us and made the wash up area difficult. We do not have wifi as stated on our details. Mandy.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2024

We had a lovely visit to this great campsite. The bathroom facilities were very clean with lovely hot showers. We booked a tent pitch but on arrival realised we couldn’t park our car alongside our tent, which was a problem for us as our dog sleeps in the car. The owners were friendly and very accommodating moving us to a more suitable location. Note: This campsite is best suited to campers with an autonomous set up, as there is no camp kitchen/washing up facilities or areas of shelter from rain for campers.

Site's response

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad that we could help with the location for you. We do have wash-up sinks available on the side of the shower facilities which is covered. We do not have any cooking facilities though.

Lovely and peaceful!

VW-Type Campervan - Grass Tent/Campervan Pitches (Optional Electric)Apr 2024

Lovely site. Owner was friendly and helpful when we struggled to find our pitch. There was a map but we hadn't looked it properly, at a second glance it was quite simple. The site was clean and tidy, water available close to our pitch. The toilets and showers were clean and tidy though we didn't use the shower as were heading home. Lovely walks around the area and not to far from the beaches. Definitely on my list to return if we are in the area again.

Lovely little site to unwind completely. In the countryside and near to the coast, great local knowledge from hosts. Excellent service, they were in the garden around 10pm in their own time and I mentioned I needed a pump for an airbed. Two gents went off to find one and had a good look until they did. It's a great place to switch off your phone and completely unwind. Will be going back for sure.

A warm welcome - clean facilities - well situated for all the local attractions, particularly the fishing marks that we came down for. The old satnav was not very helpful for the final couple of turns but Jake should stay Happy - that's not down to him. Good value for money in my book.

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay and managed to fit in the fishing. Jake is happy! Sat Navs do not like us :-(
