What customers say
Highly recommended, well-kept site with spectacular views & direct coastal walks. Guests rave about spotless, modern facilities (especially showers) & friendly staff. Pitches are spacious, many with sea views. Peaceful, but lacks on-site shop. Minor issues: occasional Wi-Fi, some unlevel pitches.
