Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The site is a very relaxing place to stay. Love hearing the occasional whistling of the old steam train pulling in and out of the station that is only a 10 minute walk from the site. You can also pass the time watching the chickens and geese on the campsite. There is also a The Lethbridge Arms pub Restaurant about a 25 minute walk away. There is also the Quantock Ale Brewery by the railway station. The owners are very nice and welcoming. Our 3rd visit to the site and we will certainly be back. Our friends who visited with us for the first time loved it too. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place.

Disliked: The only negative is, is the shower head is a little faulty. But this is fixable.

Local attractions

Start local with a stroll up to the village to browse the farm shop, the Quantock Brewery, the tea rooms and the little rural life museum within Bishops Lydeard Mill. Just outside the village (but certainly worth travelling a mile for) is a smart hotel where you can pick up day passes for the swimming pool, spa and nine-hole golf course. If you need an excuse to book in for some pampering, perhaps a few long walks or bike rides would fit the bill? There are plenty of options in the nearby Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, around the Blackdown Hills AONB (20 minutes’ drive) or over in the Exmoor National Park (15 minutes). And one mustn’t forget the coast – the South West Coast Path starts in Minehead (half an hour), and it’s got plenty of beachy activities too. A little inland from Minehead is the splendid Dunster Castle; other fab options for days out nearby might include horse riding (10 minutes from the site) or gentle strolls around Hestercombe House & Gardens (15 minutes).
