Nobody checked to see if I’d paid?? Bit annoying as I did .
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Easy pitch up , drive in pick your own spot , job done.
Disliked No bin on the site!!! , would have thought for £25 per night you would get a bin, and only 2 porta loos long walk if your at the other side of the field.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Nice walk down to the beach, lovely protection and shade from the big trees.
Disliked Toilet full to overflowing near side, should have known better and used far side. To be fair it was August bank holiday Monday

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked Loved it! great location with lots to do and our stay was lovely and peaceful too. Given the option of the Afterlands or the Caravan site next door, I'd choose the Afterlands all day long!
Disliked It clearly says not to leave anything behind and underneath the sign was bags of people's rubbish! For £25 a night, take your rubbish home with you.

We have very much enjoyed the stay, we would probably not be back.
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Lovely flat large field, quiet, clean, well located and next to a coffee shop and a pizza truck. Porta loos were kept clean.
Disliked The porta loos filled up quickly and none emptied them on a bank holiday weekend.
No waste water disposal, that made difficult washing the dishes or brushing teeth, for example, where chemicals are used and it's not the best to dispose of them in the field.
Overall £25 a night for a tent with no toilets and no electricity seemed a bit pricey.
