Medium Tent - Fully Serviced Grass PitchesSep 2025

We were originally anxious to camp in a tent during our stay, as the weather forecast was getting increasingly worse during the build up to us going away. Once we came onto site we were greeted at reception and check in was easy. There seemed to be someone around at reception until late, so felt assured if we needed anything we could ask. The pitch itself was good, close to the WC and washing up facilities. Everyone was really friendly too. The facilities were noticeably spotless and topped up each time we used them, and we did comment on this each time. Onsite there is a small shop if you need the basic essentials which we used for some oil and a cup of coffee in the morning when we couldn't use our stove due to the weather. The restaurant is good, make sure you book in if there is an event on, as we didn't and didn't get ideal seats for dinner, but our fault! The carvery on the Sunday was really good! Whilst we were away a storm was predicted with heavy winds and rain. The reception staff called us (as we were exploring off site), to make sure we were aware and prepared, and offered us accommodation in a chalet for the difference in price, they were nice enough to offer a discount too! We were really impressed with this. The chalets are basic, however perfect for a family. Finally, the location is amazing! Just off the beach, you can hear the waves at night. There is a small dune walk down to the beach, which may be a bit of a climb, but worth it. We would love to come back and highly recommend this site.

Great location, could do with additional toilets/showers

VW-Type Campervan - Large Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

Nice campsite, just lacking additional toilets/showers etc. It's a fair walk especially when you have kids.

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

A lovely stay at Beachside holiday park, the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. The beach is perfect, a short walk away. The park and pool was a big hit with the kids. The food was very nice from the restaurant too, the Sunday carvery sandwich was lovely. The only down side to our stay was the toilet and shower block being so far away, but we did leave it to the last minute to book. Staff were very helpful, showers and toilets were cleaned imminently when I told the staff they needed cleaning. I would return again.
