Lovely and peaceful off grid holiday
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Peace and quiet
Plenty of space
Great central location for the places we wanted to visit
Really good price
Clean toilets
Disliked No hot water in sinks (in toilets or for washing up)
Chemical toilet disposal area was fully open, and right next to washing up area - smelt disgusting and very unhygienic!
When the site was busy, over the Bank Holiday weekend, an extra toilet and shower would have been helpful, as we spent quite some time queuing.

Bell tent
Liked The location was great for our stay. The site was really clean. The owners were absolutely lovely. I loved the fact there was a communal fridge freezer so didn't have to worry about the fact there was no electric in the bell tent.
Disliked The bell tent was falling apart a bit, the decking underneath wasn't level so made for a very uncomfortable night for the person sleeping on the floor and the fairy lights outside the tent were not working.

Liked Great site nice and flat with decent facilities. Awesome for a few nights away and not far from cheddar gorge
Disliked Found a few land mines laying around (dog poop) not the site owners fault but the fault of the dog owners.
