Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Lovely site, great views. Loved an evening walk to the beach and super pub close by. The site is really handy for exploring and lots of walking routes around. Liked the information booklets in the cafe for local walks.
Disliked: Not enough facilities for the number of pitches but it was a busy bank holiday.

Brook Paddock unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Lovely location, fabulous views, friendly welcome, great little bar/cafe with sun terrace and sea views. Plough & Harrow less than 5 minutes walk with super food. Fire pit delivery and daily rubbish collection service! Sheep, lamb and horses in neighbouring fields. Excellent selection of beers, ciders, super friendly staff.
Disliked: Insufficient toilets, showers and washing up facilities. Noticed quite a few grumbles about this from other campers about this. Coin operated 5 minutes only cold showers, with broken shower head. A bit grimey, despite luxury loo roll regularly topped up. Two porta loos in lower field, grim. Needs to be a whole extra toilet block really. It's such a shame because otherwise it is a really fabulous site. Would take own toilet tent another time.

Brook Paddock unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Neat, tidy and clean site. Large, relatively flat pitches. Fire pits an optional extra. Peaceful and quiet. Good walks from site, dog friendly pub very near by. Very dog friendly campsite.
Disliked: Entrance could be better sign posted, quite easy to miss, especially when easel isn't out.
50p for shower (knew this in advance) bit outdated.... we're already paying for facilities.
David is a little obsessed with bins and recycling!
Whilst I appreciate clean facilities, there doesn't appear to be a set cleaning time. I had to shower whilst David cleaned. I didn't particularly mind but some women might find it awkward.
No phone signal (area so not site's fault) but WiFi limited to reception area. Great for digital detox, not so for arranging meet up with friends!

Brook Paddock unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Clean, peaceful , nice pub nearby, coastal walk nearby, cafe and bar on site. Lovely to have the option to hire their fire pit as was very cold at night!
Will go again
Disliked: Bit bothered by no time limit on cleaning the ladies loos and the hand drier was as one other guest put "a whisper" the disabled one was great, also paying for the shower was something I have never come across at a camp site

Powered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked: This is a beautifully kept, secluded and quiet campsite in a fantastic location for access to the heritage coast and some beautiful walks directly from the campsite. There’s also a very nice pub 200 yds up the lane which also serves food.
The bar and outdoor seating are very nice and the toilets and washing up areas are kept very clean. Wi-Fi is available in these areas.
The option of a campfire was very welcome in the evening.
We received a very warm welcome and staff are very helpful and accommodating.
Disliked: The site was quiet during our midweek stay but we would be concerned at the low number of toilets and showers for a full campsite (2 of each for both men and women). No phone signal (but that can be a blessing too)!

From the manager: Thank you for taking time to review the campsite and your kind comments. Hope to see you again soon.
