Buttercup bell tent
Liked: We stayed here this weekend for the 1st time and hopefully not our last. We were greeted by a lovely lady who was preparing our Buttercup Bell tent for our stay. They really had thought of everything, more than I expected including delicious freshly baked scones, with jam and clotted cream 😋 The beds were so comfy with high quality linen, towels and cushions. There was a cute little honesty shop onsite which my girls enjoyed visiting to buy snacks. Thanks Cool Cow camping for a lovely weekend.

Liked: Very close to beach. Little shop. Nearby coffee/ices/bar/pizza Friendly owners Hot showers
Disliked: Compost loos could be set up with urine separator which would completely eliminate the odour. Shame as they were kept tidy and well stocked with loo rolls.

Liked: Location
Disliked: Facilities. Toilets weren’t cared for compost toilets. The stench was horrendous. No sap to wash hands. Gas ran out so ice cold showers. No access to drinking water although this was advised. I like basic but this was another level. Charged same as a campsite with all facilities

Liked: It was absolutely wonderful spot, it had everything you needed there. The location was great just 10 minutes walk to the beach. The lady running the site was beyond amazing as on our leaving day our battery was flat so she went to her house and got her jump leads and started our van. The children were just running free all the time and absolutely loved it 😊

Buttercup bell tent
Liked: Location was fabulous! Very close to Thurlestone Sands beach and cafes. Stunning scenery! Quiet campsite, lots of space.
Disliked: The compost looks were very smelly:( Not sure if they are being used properly as others we used recently at another campsite did not smell.
