Enjoyed a beer in the bar on the Friday and the food looked amazing.
All facilities clean and good standard.
Little one loved the park.
Loads of space for kids to run around and bits to explore.

Dandelion camping pod
Liked: Very nice location. The views are spectacular! I stayed in the camping pods and it was warm especially in the wet weather!
Beach is a stones throw away. Great for walks with the dog. Fire pit in the "garden area" which was great for the evenings.
Disliked: Really it's on the other guestsn not the site...Not too keen on the dogs running free around the site. I arrived and the first task was picking up another dog's poop!
The shared areas were a little grubby as the shower trays were muddy and sandy etc.
Feedback for the pods would be to clear out the pods and give them a good deep clean. On arrival I moved the wooden crate and it was very dusty with an old empty condom wrapper!

Dandelion camping pod
Liked: The sea side location is stunning
Disliked: No personal reception. We didn’t like the set-up and decided not to stay here whilst we had paid the full charge for two days. Nobody even contacted us. The Hut looked poor and overly used. No chance to site our Landy with rooftent adjacent to the Hut.

The Glade powered grass and earth tent site (riverside)
Liked: I couldn't recommend this campsite enough. We stayed on the glade pitch which was completely remote from the other pitches with a sheep field on one side and a brook on the other (although it being August meant there was no water running through it).
We were a 30 second walk to the beach front which is pretty much only accessable from the campsite so we never saw anyone else on it.
The owner is very friendly, making sure to welcome everyone onto site and check up with them regularly.
The most peaceful campsite we have been to and in such a beautiful location. We will definitely be returning.
Disliked: The glade pitch is not accessible by car so we had to lug all of our camping bits down via wheel barrows (which we were aware of before arriving) but so worth it for the peaceful remote location. I would suggest a few more wheelbarrows though as some of the other campers had not put them back which meant we had to carry all of our stuff back to the car without a wheelbarrow
