From the manager: Hey Guys, Thanks for leaving a review, we really appreciate it 😊... just wanted to add, we really do make a point of saying on all advertising, while we love our furry friends and we are located in the stunning Somerset levels, we don't have any direct walks from the site. It is a 5 minute drive to the nearest walks 🚶♂️!! The farm, again, as per the information provided on the advert, is sometimes a little busy, even in the evenings. With the amount of rain we've had, the poor old farmers have to work whenever they can right now! So for anyone reading, please, if you are "sensitive" to the noise of a tractor, even sometimes in the evening, please maybe try another site. We try and be very open, communicative and clear, check us out on Google before coming, the views are stunning, the place is beautifully clean and tidy, and as mentioned above don't have walks from site, you'll have to drive just a bit! 😇 And, yes, please don't think you can walk down the A361, although worth saying, the the site is well back from the road, so not too noisy or in anyway unsafe on site 🙄 We do however have amazing ice cream 🍦 😋 So not all bad 🤣

Liked: Planned a weekend away in Somerset mainly to visit The Fleet Air Arm Museum. Booked Thornhills and were we pleased we did! What a wonderful find 😀 we had a good pitch close to super clean facilities - could not fault the site or the owner it was great. We had only booked for the one night but due to the floods we decided to stay another night and not to move on - very glad too.
Disliked: Nothing
