Liked: Liked the view was stunning. The field wasn’t too wet and the facility’s were good.
Disliked: The geese attacked me even if I was sat at my tent I shared the field with the farm yard animals. Granted we went at the start of the season but expected the geese to be put away at night but they wasn’t and went through my bin and washing up at 2am with woke us all up.

From the manager: We are so sorry about the geese,our problem is they are nesting and chose to make their nests by the bar,as soon as they have hatched they will be going in the animal field out of the way. We are so pleased that you liked everything else and thankyou for your review.

Liked: There was grass. Always hot water.
Disliked: Everything. This is without doubt the worst campsite I have ever stayed in; it is difficult to say anything positive. The campsite is generally messy and very badly kept; there were two old sinks dumped right outside the toilet block with numerous old caravans and machinery/tools dumped at various locations over the site. The shower block, if you can call it that is horrendous. The showers are basically garden huts with showers/toilet/basin in them. They are very poorly ventilated and not fit for purpose in any way. As they have toilets in them you take a shower next to where someone else goes to the loo very unpleasant. There was always grass on the floor. Awful. The toilet block, although new, is shoddily built and has no lighting making it unusable at night. There are just 4 working toilets in the block (1 cubicle was locked and unusable) with two basins. It was always full of grass and cleaned infrequently. 4 toilets/2 basins is not enough for the site. The washing up area was another garden hut; Dirty, lights that were not working and generally too small for the 2 washing up sinks in there. Nearby beach is lovely, and the pub about 7 mins away nice too.

From the manager: Given all your issues,I'm surprised you stayed the 4 nights you booked! The shower rooms do need some work this winter granted but having toilet,sink and shower makes it easy to do all you need to do rather than going to a different toulet block then back to a shower(unless of course you wee in the shower eeuuugghh).The locked cubicle in the girls toilets is where all the cleaning equipment is kept and the 2 basins outside are ready to go in the mens toilets next door,we don't sell ourselves as an all singing all dancing site,we are a basic farm site for families who appreciate nature not holiday parks! The vast majority of our campers like it how it is as can be seen by the many,many returns we get each year.
Good site, excellent positioned

Liked: I liked the location. Easy walk to the beach and choice of 2 pubs/bars within easy reach. The showers were quirky and good water pressure. The kids loved the farm animals and the trampolines.
Disliked: There was a bit of a smell after the rain where we’d camped (just down from the loo block) but it was just that one day an only in that area.

Liked: The field is nice and spacious and was not crowded. Really handy location to the beach. Farm animals are cute. Food at the bar is ok for occasional, although slow.
Disliked: Appearance of the site as you enter is scruffy, abandoned car parts and rubbish. Outdated showers not cleaned frequently enough. Toilet facilities inadequate - overflowing bins, often no loo roll. Shared facilities for men and women. Loud Bands at the weekend.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. Yes we do have a live band every Saturday evening , disco/karaoke on Fridays and bingo in the week but all of this takes place in our bar which as you know is a good 2 fields away from the campsite and it is not compulsory to join in at all. Our food is cooked fresh to order so if we are really busy there could be quite a wait,but people are always informed of this so they can choose whether to stay or move on. We have had problems with getting cleaning staff this year so the facilities may not be up to our usual standard but there are 4 huts with a shower/toilet/sink in each then a separate set of toilets for the females,the one for males will be open soon.
Friendly and good bar food and music.

Liked: Staff and food in the bar
Disliked: The site looks like a junk yard. There was junk as soon as you entered the site. There are caravans on site that look poorly maintained. The toilets have no lighting they were not cleaned regularly and toilet roll had to be asked for on several occasions. The 4 shower huts were a disgrace and poorly maintained. They were cleaned only twice during our 10 day stay. The bar area needed a good clean. We did eat on the first night and I must admit the food was lovely. It’s a shame the site is so poorly run because the owners and the staff were so nice. Unfortunately I would not stay again or recommend the site.
