What customers say
This friendly, peaceful campsite is praised for its excellent location, a short walk from the West Somerset Railway, Quantock Brewery, and local village amenities. Pitches are spacious and level in a well-maintained field. Facilities are basic but clean, though some guests felt they could be improved, especially the portable toilets. Welcoming owners and farm animals add charm. Many guests would return.

A good basic site.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Site ok but best as a one night stop-over if breaking a long journey
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Owner was very pleasant and booking in was a simple process, location very good with steam trains a short walk away as is a microbrewery with varying pop-up eateries and village is only 5 mins by car away.
Disliked Site toilets are one trailer toilet and several portaloos, showers are on a trailer and very small so difficult to get dressed without getting clothes wet, field is undulating so difficult to get a flat spot for a caravan but fine for a tent

From the manager: Hi Kevin
The shower trailer is standard size it has 4 bays, each has a slightly raised separate dressing area and with a seat and hooks to keep clothes dry. The shower curtain can be pulled back to make the area bigger. We also had a built shower room next door to the trailer which has a bigger shower and area Pedestal hot water sink, Seat and hooks. This is particularly useful if helping children, or if someone has mobility issues. All our showers are supplied with ‘Faith in Nature’ premium complimentary products. The toilet trailer is flushing toilets but we also supply our own clean portaloos as back ups. Again people with mobility issues often like to use these as flat on the ground avoiding any steps. All of these are regularly cleaned daily and serviced.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great little campsite tucked away near the West Somerset Railway, Taunton & Bridgewater so lots of places to go visit.
The site was an open field lined on 2 sides with woodland. Chickens & geese roam freely.
We went with electric hookup but you can go non electric hookup.
Basic toilets & showers, kept very clean & the showers had complimentary shower products. Recycling & general waste bins.
Karen was a great site owner. Very welcoming & knowledgeable on local history
We will go again. So peaceful & so tranquil
Disliked Not dislikes but more ideas about a few little kids park rides for younger children & maybe some fire pits for the evening
