Cons:

  • "The location wasn’t too bad, though it was a bit too far from the beach for small kids to walk."
  • "Would not recommend terrible our caravan was infested with ants please don’t book this terrible park."
  • "The park may be 500 meters from the beach but you have to walk all the way down to the train station and back up the other side to access it due to the lack of bridges crossing the track... Roughly a 15/20 minute walk."
  • "In terms of location it's the furthest walk from the beach and you walk past better looking camps."
  • "The site itself is also very dated and tired looking and a fair bit of rubbish everywhere."
  • "However, it's a very expensive holiday for just a caravan and a small swimming pool which is free with a small club/restaurant at the end of site."
  • "The website is very deceiving. They are reduced priced caravans for a reason."
