Tanpits Cider Farm Caravan and Camping Park

Μου άρεσε Tanpits is an unspoiled campsite set within an old orchard. While we were there, almost the only rule was to try and avoid driving on the fallen apples (it is coming up to harvest time). The facilities are more functional than spectacular. The walk along the canal into Taunton is just under 3 miles , and the towpath is tarmac almost every step of the way.

There is an Aldi five or ten minutes walk away, and two pubs, one in each direction.

Δεν μου άρεσε There is not much to dislike. The farm is tidy and well organised. The only slight downside is that road is very close, and noisy into the early hours, although it was no trouble for us, inside our van.

Μου άρεσε Great for an overnight stop driving from Manchester down to Cornwall . Had a pitch in the Orchard and bought some scrumpy before leaving ! Lovely to see peacocks wandering around .
Short walk to a lovely pub serving food and a nice walk along the canal before leaving .
Didnt use the facilities so cant comment on them

Μου άρεσε There is good firm ground for anchoring your awning. Toilets and facilities are kept clean and tidy. Unusual camp area among the apple trees but it makes for pleasant surroundings and not forgetting those beautiful Peacocks that strut around the site. I'm guessing the site makes a good stop off point for camper vans heading down to Cornwall due to the easy access to the M5 as we noticed a few turn up in the afternoon and where gone by the morning.

Δεν μου άρεσε The road junction towards rear of the orchard is quite busy especially during the start and finish of the working day and therefore produces a lot of noise. But we did note the closer to the entrance you where the more peaceful it became.

Μου άρεσε Being in the apple orchard was quite unique as was the wandering peacocks.

Δεν μου άρεσε Reception could have been friendlier, not pleasant talking through a plastic panel and not shown facilities, etc. Expected to see more of a working cider farm, we were not even asked if we'd like to purchase any. Road noise was an issue. Facilities were clean but would we stay again, sorry, it's a no from us.

Μου άρεσε Quiet and peaceful

Δεν μου άρεσε Rude lady on check in, she struggled with the art of conversation. All we got was …. “”Name, pitch anywhere on grass””, okay a hello would of been really nice.

More apples on the floor rotting than on the trees causing abundance of flies hence we have more bites than if we stayed in a mosquito infested swamp area.

This is advertised as a cider farm all you get is a paper in a window of times the “ cider farm “ will be open then you stand by a barrel and ask for on of 3 sizes of cider you want. No talk through no tour the man just disappears into a shed and comes back with your plastic milk carton of cider.

We chose this place because it said it was a working cider farm

Lots of untidy dumped areas like the barn that backs on to the children’s play area, there’s old machinery that’s clearly been there for months, and has easy access for children to enter. The barn where the peacocks inhabit there’s an old dumped caravan, machinery old bales of hay not nice places to look at.

Dishes wash area that only has cold water
