    We stayed at this park-up for a single evening. It's pretty basic, but it's near a great beach. I needed a bit of assistance getting onto the beach but, once there, I was able to speed around on the sand in my power attachment, which was definitely a first. There is an accessible toilet, but the shower has been boxed off. However, the standard shower is available for those who are able to use it. The out-of-order shower appeared to be coin operated, which is worth keeping in mind.

    Navigation is pretty straightforward. To the right as you enter the car park, you'll see the amenity building. Outside the building, the surface is gravel, but it is not especially deep, so I was able to get across it in my wheelchair. There is a short ramp leading up to the toilets, shower and amenity room, where you'll find a sink, power sockets, a defibrillator and an eye wash station. There is no real signage, but navigation is quite straightforward. There are no alternative formats in use.

    I travelled to this place by personal vehicle

    There are spaces for 10 motorhomes and payment is made using the honesty box at the utility block. The road to the site is tarmacked, but the car park does have potholes. There are no electric vehicle charging facilities at this location.

    Accessible facilities: Dedicated on-site parking

    Accessible Toilets

    Poor

    I'm marking the facilities as poor for two reasons: the damaged red emergency cord and the fact that the shower has been boxed off, meaning there is no accessible shower. The accessible toilet requires a RADAR key to access, which I appreciate, as more remote toilets tend to see more abuse in my experience. The toilet block is on the right as you enter. The toilet pan has contrasting rails on either side but no contrasting seat. The red cord is to the right, but it has clearly been snapped at some point and tied back together, which makes me wonder whether it would just snap again. I am also curious where the alert goes. The flush is high on the cistern, above your head to the left when seated. The sink has a small basin and a lever-style mixer tap, with contrasting blue rails on either side. There is plenty of space to manoeuvre a powerchair or scooter. If not for the above issues, I'd have rated the facilities as good.
