Liked: Nothing
Disliked: It's just a pub car park with electric hook up. Nowhere to go toilet or get a wash. I drove away and found another spot. Very noisy as car park next to the road. Junk all over the place.

Liked: Didn’t like anything as didn’t get there. Had to cancel due to accident but despite numerous attempts to make contact to get some of the site cost refunded was routinely ignored.
Disliked: We were unable to take this holiday due to unforeseen circumstances. With 4 weeks notice of our need to cancel I emailed the proprietor. I emailed twice more and got no response. I rang a number of times and spoke with someone, explaining the issue and our request for a refund, he said he was unable to talk to me at that time and he would ring me back. Needless to say I have not heard another word so actually I think the owners of the site are rather disreputable and I was very disappointed in their approach. Clearly they had our money and that was all they cared about. Won’t be attempting to stay here again.

From the manager: hey.sorry you feel you had a bad experience. we have done some adjustments to avoid such misinformation. so we have made the opening hours and days available for bookers to see. we unfortunately can't help if outher campers pull In and use the facility unannounced. we just the majority of camper guys are honest. our camp site is relatively new and is only taking of so there may not be outhers here all the time,but luckily enough it has been very active and as we add further facility's it will grow to be one of the best on the wild Atlantic way.thank you for your imput. marty.
Friendly staff.My advice is to pitch further from road and pub.

Liked: That they gave us option to pitch anywhere.
Disliked: A little bit noisy because we chosen to pitch close to the pub and road. No shower and no toilet after pub close is difficult.
