Beautiful bell tent
Liked: A lovely campsite, very friendly host and lots of facilities available including socket and communal fridge. So close to the sandy beach - we walked and it was lovely, a great base for our Dorset getaway
Disliked: I didn’t hear from the company I booked with until they replied to my what’s app message the morning of checking in. I get that a confirmation email is enough but I’m so used to a welcome email from the host shortly before arriving

Great weekend away looking to book next year

Liked: Ease of checking in. Tent all ready. Site has great facilities and location for walking to Swanage is excellent. The dog had a fantastic time running round the fields at the back of the site.
