Liked: Friendly helpful staff. Good clean flat field as I was camping. Plenty of showers and toilets which were ok. Had facilities to freeze blocks for coolbag which is essential.
Loved the farmhouse and colourful hanging baskets 🤗
Disliked: The gate to open and shut was too heavy for me so hard to lift and lock. Forgot to say when I left. Not the end of the world but needs looking at to keep the geese and chickens out I assume 😉

Liked: We recently stayed for four nights. What a lovely, peaceful gem of a campsite. We loved our stay and could not fault a thing. Facilities were clean and campsite felt secure. Plenty of space to pitch up. Very close to the west somerset railway snd quantock brewery. Lethbridge arms was also lovely for thai food. Hope to be back soon

From the manager: Thanks for your comment. we’re having an exceptionally busy weekend due to the bank holiday and WSR steam rally by us. So I apologise if the soap dispenser had run out in the luxury toilet trailer on the day you visited. The new multi bay shower trailer does however have sinks as well as showers and hot water with complimentary friends of the earth products for washing hair , body and hands. I do appreciate washing up dishes with cold water is not ideal and our plumber is already scheduled for next week to convert the original shower room to an inside washing up room with hot water sink and countertop. Unfortunately due to availability it couldn’t be done before the long weekend. But will be in place for the rest of the season.
