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.

Liked Fantastic location, near a lovely town, with pubs , tea rooms and shops. A brewery and tap room just up the road too. Beautiful countryside around which we explored on our bikes. Steam train to Minehead too.
The hosts were really helpful and have the most amazing garden.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely friendly welcome from Karen. She's so relaxed and accommodating! Offered lots of advice about where to get things etc and about the nearby microbrewery!
There's free range chickens and geese which is lovely for families. A woodland weekday and close enough for us (EMTB riders) to cycle to the Quantocks trails. Village has a store and places to eat.

Disliked Showers require pushing to operate and temperature wasn't adjustable. Others in our party felt there could be more sinks for washing and brushing teeth.

Liked Friendly greeting from Karen. Peaceful site, loved the chickens and geese. Entrance to local Ash Priors nature reserve approx 300 yards along road leading to a common, great for dog walking. Brewery tap room and pub (great Thai food) within walking distance.

Liked Quiet from any road noise. Great to hear steam trains and whistles also hens /coquerals. Great location and a Pub with a Thai restaurant was excellent in easy walking distance. Would visit again mid week.

Disliked Toilet facilities minimal to poor. Shower I tried was fine in the 4 block trailer. Quiet mid week but facilities would be over stretched over a busy weekend .

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked I can’t even begin to report how good this campsite is. From the warm welcome from Karen and her amazing hanging baskets, to the location, 10 mins walk from the West Somerset railway station, and Quantock Brewery. 15 mins walk to The Lethbridge pub which serves delicious, authentic Thai food. And just over the road from it is a Chinese takeaway with the most scrummy food. We took the steam train into Minehead, wowow, incredible. The site is most unusual in that it’s on the edge of a village, so we just parked up, set up and walked everywhere. The microbrewery was incredible, they have different street food vans every night and the best beers! The site is in a field, behind Karen’s house. Hens roam freely, geese were wandering round and there’s a walk into the woods where bats are a plenty. We LOVED this site. We will be back. Multiple times!!

Disliked You could not dislike anything about this site.

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).
