Liked: Darkness at night on touring field, chips shop opens Wed to Sat nights very good quality, accessible to the beach with lovely walks, staff friendly
Disliked: Men’s toilet/shower block on touring field, waterless urinal absolutely smell like hell if not maintained well, I could not use the facilities, smell made me feel physically sick, imagine rotting fish and gone off milk at the same time. Building work going on spoiled the ambiance but no real nuisance but would be good to pre warm.

Liked: Friendly staff. Large pitches. Lovely to walk along the beach on a cold windy day. Toilets and showers were immaculate and warm.
Disliked: Felt like a bit of a building site. Not the easiest to empty the motor home waste! I’m sure it’s better in the summer

Liked: Very friendly and helpful welcome, shown to our pitch and everything explained. Pitches were level and good size. Site was large and well kept and a short stroll to the cliff top where there were steps down to the huge beach below and views towards Lowestoft. Toilets were very clean. Fish and chips on site and just a couple of minutes by car/van to a large Morrisons. Would definitely visit again!
Disliked: Found it a bit difficult to see pitch clearly at night, perhaps could do with better lighting around the touring field. We found the signal weak for some TV channels but that may have been just our pitch.

Liked: Wow! This is an incredible site. The location is stunning. Super easy to access off the A12, yet tranquil. The footpath to the beach from the clifftop field felt so exclusive, with an extraordinary beach awaiting. Almost other worldly. The facilities were very clean, warm and in good supply. There are great walks along the coast in both directions.
