Seaside unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Level pitch, lots of space and freedom, next to the sea but sheltered by planting, deep peg ground, close to amenities, polite attentive staff, clean washrooms with toilet tissue/soap/paper towels/hot water, ample dish washing space, on-site hot food, play area, room to roam, safe pin code barrier.
Disliked: Early morning dog barking. The alarm kept going off for the 3 days we were there, in the washrooms. This was a loud shrill sound and very shocking and uncomfortable if you were actually in the loo.

Seaside unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Being by the sea
Disliked: We had some rain and the site quickly turned into a marshy bog that refused to dry out even in the sun. Lots more trees need planting to soak up and add privacy to pitches. The shower blocks smoke alarm goes off on EVERYONES shower filling the site with a shrill screech, plus blocks were constantly muddy due to the weather. Pitching in the seaside field is a free for all, so a chosen pitch will soon have others encroaching on your space. We wouldnt return, but by others positive reviews, many will.

Liked: It was our second time at the Hollies, but this time with the kids. Not so faraway from London, quick booking, professional fields map and new, clean facilities. Warm water- even for dishwashing areas:) And the most amazing thing- just couple of minutes to the sea and if you want sandy beach- only about 10 min driving. Definitely we will back :)

Seaside unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Lovely campsite on the cliffs over the beach. Great facilities, warm showers, washing machines and dryers, food trucks on site. Fires allowed and good amount of space for each pitch. Family friendly and lots to do in the local area.
Disliked: Some additional extras like paying for a second car which must be left in the carpark, didn't see this on pitch up.

Liked: Lovely area, and when finished will be really nice, lovely walks, toilets very clean, fish & chip van on site, lovely when the weather is right!
Disliked: Nothing really just some people who are staying on the site made us feel uneasy I think they must live on the site and didn’t seem very friendly.
