Liked: Stayed for 2 nights and now wish it was for longer. Beautiful unspoilt campsite surrounded by woodland. Loved the geese and chickens running around in field next to camping area.
Plenty of space to pitch. Facilities looked basic but were clean and no problem to use for us. Eco friendly shower gel, shampoo, handwash and washing up liquid freely available to use.
Karen gave us valuable information about the area which was very helpful.
Close to West Somerset Railway which we used (Bishops Lydeard to Minehead and several stops in between).
Easy walk to the town, ate Thai at Lethbridge Arms one evening and can recommend that as well.
Would and definitely stay again!!
Disliked: My only problem is that the shower was too hot for me and unable to turn heat down. Maybe better to turn heat down a bit, better a cooler shower that one that is too hot do use. Just my opinion.

From the manager: Hi Diane
So glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hopefully will see you back soon. Just an fyi. For future reference, there’s an additional separate shower room next door to the shower trailer unit. This runs off a separate boiler system and is set at a lower temperature. Our main shower trailer is now set hotter due to the requests of other campers.
Kind regards
Karen
No due to cost of dogs being disproportionate

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Washing up station was really helpful, luxury loos were a nice addition. Sensible pitches with access to woodlands.
Disliked: Water tap was not operational for quite a while around 11am when the toilets were being filled, worth baring in mind if you need to fill up around then! Struggled for 4g at the top end of the field near the toilets- worth thinking about when setting up.

From the manager: Hi Rebecca, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry I should have pointed out there is a second drinking water tap along the fence line. Noted though about using the central tap during peak times.
Many thanks
Karen

Liked: The relaxed atmosphere, the facilities don’t look up too much but in fact they are fabulous.
And for all your beer lovers or steam train enthusiasts the quantock brewery tap room is 10 mins away and the railway station to Minehead is next door

Liked: Friendly helpful staff. Good clean flat field as I was camping. Plenty of showers and toilets which were ok. Had facilities to freeze blocks for coolbag which is essential.
Loved the farmhouse and colourful hanging baskets 🤗
Disliked: The gate to open and shut was too heavy for me so hard to lift and lock. Forgot to say when I left. Not the end of the world but needs looking at to keep the geese and chickens out I assume 😉

Liked: We recently stayed for four nights. What a lovely, peaceful gem of a campsite. We loved our stay and could not fault a thing. Facilities were clean and campsite felt secure. Plenty of space to pitch up. Very close to the west somerset railway snd quantock brewery. Lethbridge arms was also lovely for thai food. Hope to be back soon
