A lovely place to camp, we have had some fantastic camps at this site, would highly recommend. Friendly and helpful owners. Can get windy, but still a great place to be.

We stayed in the cottage, which was perfect for our needs. We have camped previously but my arthritis just isn't giving me the opportunity to tent. Loved the views, we had the best week weather wise, gorgeous sunshine all week. It was very quiet from Monday to Thursday so we were able to take camp chairs and sit at the front. I love this Campsite, reminds me of family holidays as a child. Just the best stay with fab hosts Claire and Hugh, we'll be back soon ❤👍

This was my first time visiting this campsite.

We turned up unannounced for a one night stay and we were accommodated with a pitch overlooking the beach with fantastic views. Which was much better than we could have expected.

The drive down to the campsite from the road was very narrow, so I wouldn't recommend taking a caravan down it, but evidently, others have managed it.

We were staying in a rooftop tentbox and two tents, on a large single pitch and had ample room to ourselves. We didn't have access to electricity as we opted for a powerless pitch, and we didn't use the onside shower facilities, so I can't comment on those.

The access to the beach down the steps is very convenient if you're able-bodied and there are toilets very close by. Campfires seemed to be permitted on the beach but only gas or charcoal fuelled fires were permitted on the campsite, as long as they were risen off the ground.

The site was dog friendly, which is great if you have a dog. The centre of the field was also left open, so there was plenty of space for children to play in sight of their parents.

Because it is a family oriented campsite, it was very quite and peaceful, especially since it is away from the road. The only sounds we could hear at night was the crashing of the waves and the whistling of the wind. There were no rowdy groups and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Overall, it was perfect for our needs and we had absolutely no complaints. The only thing I could think of to improve the site, is if it had an on site cafe that serves food at lunch and dinner time, as there arent many places in the area to have food, so you'd have to cook your own.

Stayed here many times fishing and location is fantastic. Visited again this time with my little family and it is even better than I remember. Quiet, friendly, clean and a beautiful setting. We will be back again soon.

Absolutely beautiful campsite with views of the mountains as well as the sea. It has everything you need, including a washing machine and the facilities are very clean.

Love this Camping, comming here every ear at least one time. You have different field with acceptable commodities, however shower is located at the entrance of the camping and it can be some walk to do. Shower is payed as well 20p for 3 min. Sometime it can be very windy. But this in rest it is a magival place where you will enjoy the views, walk on the beach and just relaxing at the fire on the beach. Just try it.

A well set out site which instead of 1 big field the area is spilt across several smaller ones with a steam running around and throughout the lower sites. There are pitches with shelter from the wind and others which are exposed but offer fantastic views.

The grass is kept short making pitching easy. Pitch sizes are good too which includes both electric and and those without. The ground is easy to hammer pegs into but solid enough to secure them. Our pitch had a 10amp supply which is enough for 2300 watts. We used a plug in portable 2000 watt induction hob to cook and heat water without issue.

Access to the pebble beach is directly from the campsite. Each night people sit around campfires on the beach whilst watching the sunset.

The toilets and showers are kept clean throughout the day. The main block is next to the first camping spots as you drive in and there are supplementary toilets near the beach which is also where you will find the washing up facilities and chemical toilet disposal.

Rubbish is left in a large skip near reception with cardboard and paper recycling next to it.

Access is via a narrow road once you leave the main road. A few passing points but be prepared to reverse and give way, there is a helpful mirror on the worst bend to give an indication of it's clear or not.

You can see rabbits running around the site which is lovely to see. At night you can watch the bats fly past as they eat their fill of insects.

The night sky during a clear spell is amazing. The milky way is easily visible as are deep sky objects. I'll certainly be taking my telescope next time!

Wondeful place to camp, beautiful surroundings. Great kids area and right next to the beach. Couldn't ask for more. And goats to stroke.
