Short family getaway
Just a two night get away for myself my mum and teenage son. Communication with owner was great. Site is well positioned for beach and the restaurant nearby too. Caravan was an ok standard, a bit of smell when entering as if nobody had stayed for a while or pets had stayed there. Lots of cobwebs in lounge area too. Beds, bedding and bathroom were clean though. My son is only 13 but over 6’ tall and didn’t fit in the single bed so had to sleep on the sofa but we were half expecting that. Overall a good stay, would visit again
