Amazing location next to the sea. 15 minute walk to small village with pubs and shops. Lovely spot. Clean showers and toilets. Friendly welcome. Small jetty used by RNLI adjacent to site.

Site was small and well kept,good facilities although the ladies toilet block was locked with shower block only having one toilet. We also had no WiFi.

Bigger toilet block and the shower are very clean but a pound on top of your pitch fee for 10 mins. More hanger needed for cloths and shelf or chair to dry feet or sit on. But all very good nice walk to a pub half a mile bit a of hill.
