What customers say
A simple, spacious, and well-located campsite with friendly hosts, offering beautiful countryside views and animals. Facilities, including compost toilets and hot showers, are generally clean and basic. Ideal for an "off-grid" experience, it's close to Cheddar Gorge and Bristol. Some minor issues mentioned include road noise and basic washing-up facilities. One review noted a negative experience with owners being rude and kicking them off.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Set on as farm with lush views of the Somerset countryside. Big open field with big pitches. Hosts were great with communication...answered the phone straight away with queries on location and getting firewood. Me and the family loved and will be definitely staying again as it's location was great for exploring the surrounding areas of Bristol and cheddar gorge.
Toilets were clean and kept topped up essentials. The shower clean and in good working order too, nice and hot!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Owner was lovely, she was helpful and friendly. Facilities were in good order. Nice and simple, really like a basic site. Can pitch where you want. Owners came around with fire pit and logs to buy for the evening.
Disliked Location, right next to a busy road, would have given it a much higher score if it was even a field away from the road
