We booked Shawsmead as we needed somewhere fairly near to home to give our 2 youngest grandchildren experience of sleeping in our Camper and in a small tent, prior to taking them to France next year (hopefully). Two days after booking, our son drew our attention to a small number of reviews critical of the site staff in relation thier attitude to children. Having spent two nights at Shawsmead, We have nothing but praise for the staff at this well run site. It is spotlessly clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Both grandchildren felt very comfortable at the site and wnat to go back again. Certainly we will be returning to this oasis of calm as a couple in the future. It is in the country and there is no childrens play area as the site is not big enough, but it is a short drive to the coast and all it has to offer. Please, do not let the small number of critics put you off what is an excellent site. Gerwyn and Betty Dennis
