Very well setup campsite. It has all you need to be comfortable. It has a lovely little shop with essentials with very friendly staff. Toilets and showers are well set up and very clean, checked regularly. We were very impressed with the £11 roast diner that we could take away to our motor home in our own plates, it was lovely!! You can walk to the harbour ( 10min walk) or to a beach on a bay but be ware there are alot of steps, we didn't brave it! We saw it from the top. At the top of the campsite the view is amazing. We loved our stay. Thank you.

We stayed here in May 24 and it was an absolutely perfect experience. The facilities were excellent, and always spotless! It is in a great location so you can explore or just unwind. The food options were fantastic. We had gorgeous pizza on Saturday evening and a lovely breakfast on Sunday morning. This campsite exceeded our expectations, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Lovely campsite with plenty of facilities. Shower blocks are in good locations but all varying quality, the water was hot in the newest one but the pressure was poor. Always clean and tidy. We were disappointed the food van wasn't open in the week as per the website, but appreciate this is an added extra for many campsites. Location is fantastic, really lovely walks, amazing views and Broadsands beach is simply stunning. The pitches could be flatter with minimal effort and despite changing sleeping positions during the week I struggled to get a good night's sleep as on a slope. Very good sized pitches and the staff were super friendly. Bringing all the toilet blocks up to the same standard and levelling some of the pitches would make this a brilliant campsite. Good value for money and we'll definitely be back.

Our first proper holiday in the camper van. Great location and the pitched are very big. Excellent toilets, shower and sink all in a large cubicle and very clean. Love the special menus each night, and the bar. Husband used the breakfast hut every day. Lovely walk to Coombe Martin and to a beach down quite a few steps once you are there the walk was worth it! Would recommend yhe "storm in a tea cup" cafe on the harbour, which is walking distance. Excellent food, especially vegan pasties!! Dogs welcome, and our cavapoo Dave loved the harbour with the stream. The owners were very welcoming and with a sense of humour. Will be returning would recommend. Thank you sun for finally coming out!!!
With wonderful staff and the most idyllic location this site is just about as perfect as you can find. The coastline is dramatic being rugged yet romantic. Stunning is an understatement. The facilities are excellent with clean roomy showers and very hot water included in the very reasonable price per night. Would I come back is like asking would I like to continue breathing and that's a big yes.
