The grounds of the inn

  • In the grounds of a country inn in Exmoor National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from Watchet and 30 from Taunton and Minehead
  • Pub classics, evening specials and carvery night at the restaurant
Spectacular national park views, local eats and a traditional English country inn? If that’s ticking your boxes, scurry along to Ralegh's Cross Inn, an adults-only site 15 minutes’ drive from the Somerset coastal town of Watchet. In the grounds of the Ralegh's Cross Inn, the site is – as one might imagine – exceptionally well placed when hunger strikes. It’s a short amble from pitches to the restaurant, where chefs cook up local ingredients for pub classics, light lunches, evening specials and (on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays) carvery spreads. Of course, there’s more to travel than the food, and the site’s in a top spot for adventures beyond tickling taste buds too. Just inside the south eastern edge of Exmoor National Park, it’s well suited to energetic explorers who are keen to venture out on hikes and bikes, and there’s bike rental available 35 minutes away. For hols spent by the sea, it’s an easy 15 minutes to the nearest (pebble) beach in Watchet, and half an hour to the sands of Minehead. Once everyone tires of splashing about, a return to site should prove calming: soak up views towards Dunkery Beacon (Exmoor’s highest point), Bristol Channel and the Welsh hills.

What customers say

This adults-only site has spacious, level pitches in a quiet spot with a popular pub serving good food. Staff are praised, especially manager Sam. While pitches and the pub are great, washrooms are basic and dated, though some recent reviews note improvements. Good base for exploring.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked Nothing , left one night early. Because of the Reception. I received.....

Disliked Not having the Abuse from site manager 'who banged on door about signage. Who wouldn't leave it alone, While I was having chest pains.. and had pitched where I had asked to.. by the only water tap close to pitch. And time of arrival was correct.. very empty site. left one night early. To find out caravan near side wheel had been tampered with causing it to break loose 5 miles down road severally Damaging van. @ same place it happened to another caravan owner "coincidence". Site wardens job on the side is a mechanic very handy with a spanner. Or wheel brace. Pub serves flat beer with no sprinkler on tap the night we went, Only to see the mechanic 'site manager' in the corner leave through front door when we sat down with our flat beer with no head .A bit of advice never enter site without calling at pub Reception. And always take note of the 6ft Signs to the right of Electricity pitch entrance.. you have been warned.."never enter my site again with out registration" Is what I was told.. Believe me 'I won't... Police to be notified..

Liked Peaceful, friendly, clean, set in great surroundings with Watchet beach only a short drive away. Dog friendly. Lovely field to camp in, adjacent to horse paddock. Second week in September was quiet and we had a choice of site. Facilities were absolutely fine.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked Meal in Raleghs Inn was very nice.

Good place for a stop over, however, for no more than that imo.

Disliked Showers could do with updating - the showers are angled so the water sprays into the drying area a lot. Maybe new showers that can be angled better or shower curtains/doors. One tap on entrance to where we parked, could do with more dotted around fields. No lighting in field.

Local attractions

Make the most of Exmoor stays by signing up immediately for an Exmoor Wildlife Safari, clambering into the back of a Land Rover for guided excursions through the park, keeping eyes peeled for deer and the rare Exmoor ponies. There are no long treks to get going either, as the tour guides will pick guests up at Dunster, Dulverton or Exford, all within about 25 minutes’ drive. Get a closer look at some of the area’s wildlife (as well as some more exotic specimens) at Tropiquaria, a small Art Deco zoo in a former BBC radio transmitter station 10 minutes from base, or travel a little further (30 minutes) to the Exmoor Pony Centre to learn about the native ponies and even take a ride in the park. If interest in watery getaways was piqued by beach days in Minehead and Watchet, but less salt would be preferable, head along to Wimbleball Lake or Clatworthy Reservoir (both within 15 minutes) – the first for birdwatching, trout fishing and lessons in windsurfing, sailing, canoeing and rowing, and the second for pretty scenery, boat hire and fishing. Dip a toe into the past by visiting the Museum of Somerset and the military and cricket museums in Taunton, half an hour away, then dive further in with trips to Dunster Castle, Fyne Court and Knightshayes, all within 35 minutes of base. Prefer to finish hols on a celebratory note? Stumble over to Yearlstone Vineyard (40 minutes) for a tipple or two.
