Blossom non-electric grass tent pitch (four person)
Liked: Very relaxed site with good shower, pitches and a well done, clean compost loo (prefer these to normal camping loos when done properly). Owners frequently passing by and very welcoming and friendly. My mate and I were bike camping and borrowed some chain oil and a pump - Franc and Maxine couldn’t be much more accommodating. Also, fridge and freezer - which meant the beer that had been in our bike bags all day could be made ice cold after set up. Brilliant. Second visit and will return again! Many thanks.
Disliked: Nothing, it was all good.

Liked: Complete informality of the site. Great well kept pitch areas; excellent composting toilet and gas powered shower; all eco- friendly products provided. Washing up area and fridge/freezer much appreciated. Franc and Maxine were extremely pleasant and personable. A superb pop up site. Alpacas provide entertainment!
Disliked: Absolutely nothing

Liked: Lovely wild feel to the campsite with clean loo and shower
Disliked: Don't recommend using the paths through the fields at the back as there were a lot of vegetation and crops to clamber over!

Litha non-electric grass tent pitch (three person)
Liked: Great little campsite situated close to the Quantocks hills and the town of Taunton. Only a few pitches so never going to feel busy. Great facilities with the option for a fire pit. Alpacas on site so can feed and stroke them. Owner is very friendly and helpful. No Wi-Fi but great 4g signal. Definitely stay again.

Bonny non-electric grass tent pitch (five person)
Liked: I loved camping here! Such a beautiful spot and all very friendly and relaxed. A peaceful field with alpacas for neighbours and really clean loo/shower. I picked the site for its eco loo/shower and the fact that cars aren’t allowed in the field and also no dogs.
