Camping pod (classic)
Liked: Clean, good showers, loos an washing up areas. Nice to have a proper bed when camping. Very small camp I think only 5 pods on site which is nice.
Disliked: It did smell of mildew/damp in the pod and we could hear the main road mostly just because we needed the window cracked open due to the damp smell.

Liked: We enjoyed our stay immensely. The atmosphere around the pods is beautiful and there is access to a log fire, water and a BBQ. The facilities were brilliant and there is a local shop a short drive away. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere which is exactly what we were after. We will definitely be booking to come again!

Camping pod (classic)
Liked: Neat, tidy and simple. Great access to Charmouth, shower and toilets - nice and clean. It’s not busy as only five pods. It’s camping but with a bit of comfort. Really enjoyed it!
Disliked: A little close to the main road so you can hear the cars but that’s the price for being walking distance from the coast.
