Liked: One of the highlights of our stay was the picturesque location of our pitch right by the tranquil lake, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere throughout our entire stay. It was the perfect spot to unwind and reconnect with nature. The facilities at the park were excellent, with clean showers that maintained a high standard of hygiene throughout our stay. It's evident that the staff take great pride in ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of their guests.

Liked: Peaceful, clean, washing machine tumble dryer, large pitches. Number of your pitch and map given to you in email. Made it so much easier just to drive on and set up, no waiting in reception. Lots of pubs and shops nearby. Beautiful scenery, everyone you meet is so friendly, a little gem on the Essex coast. The site is very competently priced.
Disliked: The only thing I can think of was showers were hard to get at right temperature, not a dislike, just a small nuisance. A bit water logged but Kev sorted that out, we were ok on our pitch.

Liked: Excellent location park up and walk everywhere very handy for the beach and the town with lots of pubs and restaurants - everything you need is nearby
Disliked: The water pressure in the showers was very poor, I guess ok if you went later when everyone else isn’t using them - which I would do another time.
