Local attractions
For après-ski with a West Country twist, head five minutes' drive down the road to Thatchers Cider Farm for orchard tours, trips to the on-site farm shop and the chance to try a good few ciders while you're at it. For an accompaniment to your drinks, head into Cheddar (15 minutes' drive), home of the selfsame cheese, where there are two delis plus a range of family-friendly pubs, restaurants and cafés.
If that combination of fine food and drink leaves you feeling a bit lethargic, dust yourself off and take to the walks around Cheddar Gorge (15 minutes) for fresh air and sweeping views over the Mendip Hills, or drive a bit further afield to take on Glastonbury Tor (40 minutes) and look down to the pretty market town below.
More historic buildings like those in Glastonbury are on display in Wells (30 minutes), a pint-sized city with a gorgeous cathedral deep in the Somerset countryside. There's also Bristol (40 minutes) and Bath (an hour) to visit if you fancy more urban explores, while for more countrified days out there's the top-rated Somerset Rural Life Museum (35 minutes).

Thank you for your review.
The toilets and showers are only a year old and are modern and clean.
You did chose to stay during the August bank holiday so the campsite was very busy and the toilets and showers were in constant use. The facilities are cleaned throughout the day and it is up to the guests to be respectful and leave the toilets and showers clean as much as they can as we can't have a cleaner on duty to clean after every individual use - we are a campsite on a field so grass goes down the plughole from time to time.
The ski centre did have musical entertainment on for one night - as it was a bank holiday.
The music was in the evening only and finished before 9.30pm - a large number of our guests went to the venue to enjoy the entertainment whilst others sat around their BBQs and fires enjoying the music - it created a lovely atmosphere. Sorry to hear that this wasn't for you.
