We stayed 27 dec - 3 jan at Seacote park on a touring caravan pitch, the pitches have great sea views, level & fully serviced. Which is a must for me wherever I take my caravan. The only downside is that the toilet block & chemical toilet disposal, which I think was built & last updated in the 1960's. Although clean & plenty of hot water seriously need's renewing! We also visited the Hartley's tea room & cafe, 150yrds or so from the site, which has lovely food & very friendly staff. New Year's Eve was spent at the Seacote hotel, which again is a bit dated. But very friendly staff & generous food portions. On the whole this could be a lovely site with a bit of investment

Ideal holiday park if you just want the beach for dog walks - no entertainment on site but that does not worry us. The reason I have only given 3 stars is cos a lot of the net curtains were torn - surely they could have taken down or replaced; and the shower in disabled caravan was not looking it's best. However the main twin room gives plenty of room for using wheelchair.
