Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: The host - we actually thought it was going to be a very judgemental place but actually we were so wrong. Loved it here. The host was actually so funny and nice and the facilities were clean ! Flat pitch and loads of space ( two with a tent ). Water temperature on the shower was great also.
Disliked: The wind ( nothing to do with the site )

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. I am glad that you loved our site and found it not to be judgmental 😀. It just goes to prove the old saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” 😂. We value equality and diversity and like to think that we treat everyone as equals. We pride ourselves on keeping the site clean and tidy and running smoothly and appreciate the feedback that we get. We hope you will recommend us to your friends and visit again in the future.

Liked: We were very welcomed to the site of which was spacious, flat, clean and well maintained. We chose this for it's ideal location to one of my favourite sites to relax and see the sunrise at Godrevy Lighthouse, and easy access to other beaches and surrounding places to visit.
Disliked: The only dislike, so be warned. Was the damn cockerals 🐓 next door to the site make a lot of noise. We had to turn it into a joke as after the leader had woken everyone, the youngsters would try their voices, it was like teacher and student 😂.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you found our site to be spacious, flat, clean and in a good location to use as a base for visiting other areas. Unfortunately, the cockerel is an early riser 🤣, but we appreciate that you didn’t let it ruin your stay and will recommend us to your friends and would return in the future. Jayne and Mike

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Hot showers, clean toilets and kind and helpful owners.
Disliked: Very noisy road! Our pitch was next to a very busy and noisy road with traffic throughout the night! We stayed for two nights, the first I hardly slept due to the noise and the second I purchased ear plugs which reduced it to a low hum! Not ideal.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you found us kind and helpful and our facilities clean and the showers hot. Unfortunately we have no control over the road noise, but do except that you can hear noise from the road, which is more evident when the wind is in a certain direction and in the tourist season, when there is a huge increase in the volume of traffic. However, for us it is a double-edged sword as many of the local businesses rely on tourism to exist and at times you can’t have one without the other. We totally understand that our site will not suit everyone but really appreciate that you will recommend us to your friends. Jayne and Mike
Loved it. We will be back soon :)
