Electric gravel motorhome pitch (lake view)
Liked: We enjoyed the peace of the site and the fact that there are only 2 pitches. Great that each pitch has its own individual water supply. Although there is activity each morning with anglers arriving, this didn't disturb us. The fishing lakes are far enough away from the pitches not to be a disturbance. The site is some distance from the main road so there is no road traffic noise at all. If you want peace and quiet, this is the site for you! The site manager was very friendly and helpful. So too the owner. Also enjoyed having the ducks and geese roaming around, as well as a visit from the cat! Easy drive to local attractions e.g. Tyntsfield House, Cheddar, Street etc.
Disliked: Minor grummbles that detracted from the stay: - Despite being mentioned a couple of times, we weren't provided with a 'welcome pack' so had no information other than from Pitch Up - We were locked out of the site because the Manager had left early. Unfortunately, the owners hadn't thought to keep their mobiles with them so I had to climb over the fence to get in. Not a major issue but also not great customer experience at the end of a tiring day. - Difficult to get motorhome level due to pitch being on stones..... ramps just sank into the stones. Recommend levelling pitch with concrete base (or similar). - Would have been great to have wifi as the local mobile data signal was so weak. These points wouldn't stop us coming again but are included here as constructive feedback to help future guests.
