Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Excellent staff who all pretty much seem to love and take pride in what they do. Great views of the sunset from our pitch Facilities were clean and well maintained Onsite bar with ice cream and snacks was perfect to return to after trip to the beach Firepit and logs provided seemed reasonably priced Walk to the beach (although longer than advertised 15 mins) was beautiful. Access via a fern gully was a delightful walk.
Disliked: Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
This site is overpriced for the facilities.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Very nice area with a beautiful walk to the sea.
Disliked: We were allocated a pitch in the bottom field which has no facilities such as a water point. It is quite a walk to the toilets, only two cubicles in each of the men's and womens and no urinals - inadequate for the number of pitches. There is no disposal point for chemical toilets.

Liked: The location and views are beautiful. The pitch was a good size. Staff are very helpful and super friendly. We got a very warm welcome. Will definitely be booking again.
Disliked: Only 2 toilets and showers, got dirty very fast.. they did clean them regularly. Could maybe do with a few more toilets and free showers. This is only a minor thing, overall the site is fabulous

Liked: We were given a good sized pitch with our 3 friends a-joining being able to have a communal area with lots of space for the kids to play. Great views and sunset from campsite and lovely pub up the road with some live music on the Saturday. Great location to explore different local beaches and coast line
Disliked: Tractor driving up and down site at 9.00 at night to deliver fire pits made it a bit more challenging to get 2 year olds to sleep. As this could of been completed at the start of the evening. Otherwise was a nice quiet family campsite
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear the tractor disturbed your family. Unfortunately several campers experienced difficulty on the M4 arriving later than scheduled. However, we do feel 9pm is probably rather late and will change the times for delivery. Very much hope to see you in the future. Philippa
First time camping and loved the site will definitely book again.

Liked: Very quiet and tranquil site with lovely surroundings. Phillipa is a very attentive, welcoming host. The toilet/shower blocks were very clean. Good restaurant/cafe onsite with small bar as well. Missed the entrance on the first two passes as expecting to see a larger campsite sign at the entrance rather than a smallish white sign. Rugged beach nearby about a 25 minute walk through nature reserve. Rocky path unsuitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs and those with less mobility. If you do make it, then the rock strata is spectacular. Internet OK but mobile phone signal not very good.
Disliked: Bit of a faff having to leave shower cubicle to insert 50p into the shower meter.

Clean, extremely talkative owners and staff, fantastic countryside.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: There absolutely nothing not to like. I particulary liked the very friendly and chatty owners ethos to employ locals, use only locally sourced products and the fact that they are not in this business to extract every last penny. They live next door to the site and just want a comfortable living without over development of the site which by the way is gorgeous and just a few fields up from the wonderful Vale of Glamorgan coast line. In fact the lane to the site leads on down through an ancient coastal woodland to a tiny little known about secluded beach. The site is absolutely spotless and has a brilliant little on site cafe and licenced bar with great cooked breakfasts and drinks all at resonable prices. Pitch prices are also very reasonable. Oh and there is a great local village pub just up the road again with very friendly chatty locals.
Disliked: Nothing at all.
