We did leave the BBQ cleaner than we found it but that's more the fault of a previous holidaymaker. This is a quiet site but is shared between holiday lets and longer term occupants so doesn't feel like a typical chaotic holiday campsite. Previous comments about dog friendliness seem unfair. You are asked to keep your dog on a lead and under control and you need to respect the space around other peoples' bungalows regardless of lack of fences. There are plenty of nearby walking opportunities and Rosecraddoc woods 5 minutes walk away are an ideal location for offlead ball games.

From the listing we understood that it has a fenced garden, but it didn't. We booked it because it was a dog friendly bungalow. Dogs were our priority. The site the bungalow is located isn't very dog friendly. As we didn't have a private garden the dogs had to be on the lead all the time. There are no walking paths, one bin for the dog waste, on the entrance to the site, so many restrictions for a holiday place. Also the information is in very small print on the entrance, when you are passing with the car you can barely see it. As we have not seen the restrictions, we let the dogs off and one of them barked at passers-by, with no time we were told off by the site owner, threaten with all sorts of consequences including early departure. We were also told that he saw as on the camera, so for the rest of the stay we didn't really feel comfortable knowing that every our step is watched. The only place you could let the dogs off lead was a very small woodland about 10 minutes away. We ended up driving to the beach every day to give the dogs some freedom. Overall nice place but not for dogs owners.
