Electric optional hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked: Had a lovely one night stay, views were beautiful and loved walking to the estuary from the site.
Disliked: Not a dislike as such as there's not much as you can do about the road but can be noisy on the hardstanding pitches

Liked: Check in process was quick and easy, an envelope with all of our information was ready and waiting which meant we could pitch up straight away. Facilities were fab, clean, tidy and showers were easy to use. There was a lovely walk down to the estuary which was beautiful at sun set. The pan au chocolate’s for breakfast (£2 each) were a great touch and even better that they were warm when we picked them up! Overall a great stay and am looking forward to staying again!
Disliked: Nothing, everything was great!

From the manager: Thank you so much for sharing your experience of staying on our camper van pitches. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Liked: Toilets were spotless and smelt lovely the views from the 2 pitches over looking the estuary are stunning , I had a flat pitch with hook up easily in reach , shop on site which I had no need to use and you can also buy books and ice cream from a sheltered cabin , steep walk down to the estuary with lots of other camping pitches
Disliked: I disliked the 2 shared showers and that the screens don't go from the floor to the ceiling and I can understand why people wouldn't use them I didn't like the position of the showers as well as I felt as I was on parade walking up the drive past the other accommodation

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback.
