We had a very calm night and evening at this campsite. The location is perfect because it is in the middle of the countryside and no big roads around. Michael was very nice and attentive to us. If every campsite could be the same as Big Barn, it would be perfect.
Excellent stay despite weather

First time here. Was greeted by Michael who is a friendly, helpful man. Fabulous views, lovely and quiet and a comfortable bed. Ideal for adults mainly. Good outside toilet and great facilities. The pod had a seating area, utensils, plates, cups, kettle, top hob and cool box. It also had a little folded table, seating area and a hanging area. I have recommended that my friends visit this place and we also recommend visiting the castle, Saundersfoot Beach and Pendine Sands.
