Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Beautiful, clean campsite, not too far from a nice beach but not a gentle walk! Lovely little site, very well kept with a nice laid back vibe. Hot showers and clean facilities. Lovely play park for the kids. Pitches are ample size and very well thought out with hedges or trees dividing them. There's a lovely beach about a mile away but it's a bit of a mission through beautiful woodland on an uneven, rocky path- a lot of calf burn, but well worth it if you're able. The host was friendly and welcoming and always a phone call away if you needed assistance. This campsite is quite far away from basic amenities and other places we visited were quite far away - for this reason, we probably would not return but we've had a lovely stay. Thank you!

Peace, peace, peace

Motorhome - Hardstanding Fully Serviced PitchesJul 2024

Lovely quiet site, not for you if you want lively! Lots of families and couples, tents, caravans and motorhomes. Nice path down to the beach. Also a separate path to a local pub and Thai takeaway. We came in a large motorhome, so walked to beach. Noticed some campers got supermarket home deliveries. Stock up before you arrive, there is also a freezer on site if needed.
