Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Proximity the West Somerset steam railway was ideal, just a short walk from the campsite. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Porta loo's and shower. Only 1 shower for entire campsite. A bit too basic for me. We used our own on-board facilities.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Flat grass pitches, quiet location, good dog walking close to site, and short walk to steam railway museum. On site Cockerell wake up call in morning

Disliked: Did not use shower or porto loos on site. Quite a walk to village pub and shop but not as issue for us on this stay.

Chris G. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The one shower, whilst being quite rustic and a bit of a dribble, had hot water as did the sink within the hut. There was plenty of space within the shower with plenty of hooks to hang clothes etc. The site itself is very quiet apart from the geese and cockerels! The site is easy walking distance from the village and its two pubs, and even closer to the excellent West Somerset Railway and Quantock Brewery shop/taproom.

Disliked: Not a dislike as such but given that there is just one shower on the site it could be a bit of a wait in the height of summer if it's busy. If you've got your own onboard facilities then it's not an issue at all. Whilst there were plenty of rubbish bins around the site there was nowhere (that we found) to recycle so we brought it all home.

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).
