Camping
We have purpose-made pitches for between three and five tents depending on size.
They are located on a plateau just above the high tide line.
They have amazing views and a beach (when the tide is out.)
There are three fireplaces; we have a supply of local seasoned logs on site which you can purchase by the wheelbarrow load.
There is no vehicle access to the camping pitches however we provide a wheelbarrow for you to carry your kit and it's only a 100m walk.
A shower and two toilets are located near the car parking area.
We also have Holiday Cottages,
