It's a great place ....if low key ...

Owner Gary (Yorkshireman through and through )
Is very no nonsense BUT friendly and helpful ...

Very very peaceful and access down onto the rocky/and in places muddy foreshore .

Hard standings are spacious

Grass field pretty firm underfoot at moment ...
BUT with weather forecast ...we've retreated to hardstandings .

Bargain of a site if you don't need/want bells whistles ...

The quay/castle corner Aire I mentioned earlier would deff be on my list of places to stop too ...
Lovely locations .

I would've IF T'other half hadn't scoffed most of it ...

Decent food and beer though .....and to be honest a great pub stop ...
The amount of work the landlord has put in to make the place really deserves credit ....
Must be a blast in warmer weather with the amount of outside space .

Pleasant wander off site around the old workings/lagoon of Hodbarrow iron mine today ....

Needs a bit of TLC I think

 

[mistericeman]

Tucked up with hatches firmly battened down now ...

Stocked up at Aldi in Annan so we won't starve OR importantly die of thirst .

Opted for hook up for next couple of days as weather looks decidedly low solar wise ...
Eberspacher is roaring and waiting for Strictly with a beer .

Looks to be a stunner so far ....though light has gone now by time we got here and parked .

Water and chemical dump point only and sandy/grass pitches ...
Right on edge of a sandy bay ...

Only 1 other van here at moment so nice and quiet .

One of our favourite sites in winter...and Alison (owner) is lovely. We very often have the site to ourselves. Great walks along the beach at low tide. Many times we sit by a fire, and watch the stars....
