Peaceful, spacious site with rural/sea views & steam train. Hosts super friendly, facilities spotless. Guests loved picking their spot. Basic but idyllic & tranquil, close to attractions. Signage could be clearer.

Bell tent

Liked Lovely peaceful site, the bell tent was beautifully presented and really comfortable with an extra bed for our little one. Lisa was there to meet us when we arrived and was really welcoming, gave some great suggestions about the local area. I'd definitely visit again.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked My favourite site Minehead way..safe if travelling alone.
Dog friendly.
I love the views and all the space.
Laidback and helpful owner.
Beautiful farmhouse..
Quiet.
Watching birds of prey and the bats in the evenings.

Disliked Having to go home..went for one night and stayed for 3. Still didn't t want to leave.
No fires, but that's fair enough.

Local attractions

There’s loads for animal-mad families to see: get up close to creepy crawlies and reptiles at Tropiquaria Wildlife Park (10 minutes’ drive) or cuddlier options in the form of rescue dogs at the Golden Retriever Experience (five minutes). Kids can play zookeeper for the day at Exmoor Zoo (50 minutes), or go pony trekking in the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour). The Quantocks are also riddled with hiking and cycling trails, as is Exmoor – trails start right from Dunster Exmoor National Park Centre (five minutes’ drive), while off-roading bikers can get on the Grabbist Hill and Peaks route at Dunster too. Wimbleball Lake Activity Centre (half an hour) is a hub for dinghy sailing and paddleboarding, with equipment available for hire. Turning north to the coast, stroll down to Blue Anchor beach (10 minutes’ walk), search for fossils on Doniford beach (15 minutes) or have a stroll along the shingle at West Street beach before pottering around the pretty harbour at Watchet (both 10 minutes).
