Peaceful rural spot with lovely countryside & sea views, a 20-min walk to a secluded beach. Praised for clean facilities, friendly owners, & relaxed vibe. Bumpy access track noted. Highly recommended for tranquility & natural beauty. A few negative owner interactions mentioned.

Skylark 2 bedroom mobile home (no pets)
Liked The location was off the beaten track but easily accessible. Quiet site with incredible views of the countryside. Short walk through field and woodland to the viaduct at Hawthorn Dene where you can access the beach and collect sea glass! Loved the fire pits available on site and wood available at extra cost. Sunset was stunning. Met some lovely people. Highly recommend this site.
Disliked ***** this is not a dislike... just to note there is no WiFi which we LOVED, we used our data roaming. No TV in caravan either. It was beautiful, but just wanted to highlight if these things are important to you!
