Excellent hosts, we were amazed by live band playing by the bar and grilled food. Amazingly great atmosphere for all - kids, parents and grandparents. No street noise, very quiet, fire pitches so romantic. Also great connection to get to see towns nearby.
Fantastic campsite, location, views and price

Booked this campsite last minute for a night over the August bank holiday weekend. We booked for location, price and being dog friendly. We took 2 dogs and it was a lovely space for them to run in. Facilities were great, view was lovely. Would recommend!

The site is just 10 mins away from the beach and has a fantastic view over the sea. It has a great vibe during the evening with a nice BBQ, bar and live music. We wish the toilets weren't that basic, however they have been cleaned every day, which was a plus. Absolutely recommend it and will be back at some point.
