What customers say
This well-maintained, adult-only site offers beautiful views and generously sized, level pitches with EHU and water. Clean toilet and shower facilities are frequently praised. Guests appreciate the friendly owners, welcome cake, honesty shop, and proximity to Bridport and coastal walks. While some find road noise from the nearby A35 noticeable, many guests get used to it or find it quiets down in the evening. Some minor points include the occasional pitch levelling issue and lack of an on-site dishwashing sink.

Excellent site if looking to just relax and enjoy the peace
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely site and looking at the animals through the windows was very relaxing. Nikki was very helpful and friendly and the two dogs fern and willow are the cutest.
Disliked The shower rooms a little on the chilly side. It is possible to hear the road and I’m sure in the summer with the windows open it may annoy some people. We didn’t find it intrusive but it was December with everything shut.

Liked Lovely site. The owners were great , we had a puncture when we arrived and they couldn't do enough for us, even took the wheel to the garage to get it fixed.
Will definitely be back next year
Disliked Not a dislike really, but the water wasn't hot enough to wash up in.

Disliked It was very disappointing that this site would not consider transferring our booking to a later date. We were visiting the area to attend a concert which was postponed until February. The site owner would not allow us to transfer our booking. As both dates were out of season I found this a little unreasonable and disappointing. Even a 50%discount would have shown goodwill. It is doubtful that we will rebook. It also was very difficult to contact site to advise of our need to cancel.

Friendly, helpful host. Lovely site, good spacing between pitches.
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Helpful, friendly host. Well-kept site with lovely views, set amongst rolling hills and a lovely place for us to begin our first motorhome adventure. Good, hot showers. Lovely village pub walkable from the site as well as the delights of Symondsbury Estate (café, shops, gallery) and nerarby walks. Delicious complimentary cake, cream and teabags on arrival! Thank you!
Disliked Some road noise but didn't deter from our overall enjoyment which cannot be helped and is surrounded by tall hedges which do help.
Heating would be welcome in the shower/toilet block in colder climate.
