Liked: Absolutely stunning location, very peaceful and quiet and Jim the campsite owner does a fantastic job. The facilities are basic but extremely well kept, the showers lovely and hot and a great little washing up area is provided too. We had a lovely evening in the meadow area at the top of the field and can’t wait to go back again. It’s a basic campsite done well and any problems I’m sure Jim would sort them out for you.

Liked: The peaceful and quiet site. Jim was very friendly and welcoming. I walked along the coast path and through some other camping sites which resembled a festival site from hell, chaos, tents packed together, feral kids, loud music. And realised I’d picked a gem of a site. Thank you Jim absolute pleasure staying at your site. noisey, chaos
