The site is peaceful and quiet and not commercialised at all. It is very much a traditional campsite with many of guests who visited as children themselves, bringing back their own families. Children can have good old-fashioned fun, with old tractors to play on, ducks to feed, eggs to collect, and space and freedom to fly their kites, and ride their bikes around the farm. The unspoilt sandy beach is safe for children and swimming and south-facing, it catches all of the sun. Dinosaur fossil footprints are even visible at low tide!
