What visitors say
I wanted to try somewhere different so, I booked this site. It is a nice clean site, predominantly full of statics but, has an area for tourers. Great location, stones throw from the beach and a lovely view of the beach huts. Toilets and showers were a bit dated however, it all works well. If you are considering swimming in the sea, best go when it's high tide. Touring pitches are serviced so, easy filling up water. Word of warning, irs a shell and pebble beach so, would recommend some beach or wet shoes. I would definitely go back, good value for money.

We have been a couple of times now on the touring park the park itself is fine Paul & his family in the clubhouse are lovely & couldn’t do more for you however the toilets & showers should be condemned they are by far the worst we have ever encountered & are filthy hot water is a bonus.We have been met by both occasions in reception by this most miserable & unhelpful & actually very rude older women who clearly hates her job doesn’t make you welcome whatsoever.

Lovely touring park, surprisingly they have quite limited touring spaces, and the park is predominantly static caravans. Great location and great little pub/restaurant. Touring toilets/showers are slightly dated but OK

Amazing staff and all the visitors to the place were friendly & warm. My little girl soon made friends and was taken care of by older children who took her under their wing 😍 The site was clean, tidy and very picturesque. Nice sandy/pebbly beach. Completely dog friendly too which was wonderful. I couldn't recommend the place highly enough.
