Liked: Seclusion. Lovely woodland. Good toilet and fire pit. Peaceful and quiet. Owners helpful and friendly. Lots of logs for fire and sheltered area to sit if raining. Lots of space for our collie to run around. Shower bag also great to hang from tree. Really lovely camp.
Disliked: Nothing really aside from public footpaths not clear. Not a problem for us as our collie enjoyed the run around.

Liked: Lovely secluded woodland site set up perfectly for wild camping with a grassy clearing or wood chipped terrace to set up tents with the added benefit of fresh water and a flushing toilet. Friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. Ideal for staying put and enjoying the sounds of nature or local walks on public footpaths in the surrounding countryside. For anyone who enjoys a camp fire and cooking over wood, the large fire pit area and covered shelter is perfect. Also, it is well situated to make day visits to the plentiful attractions in Somerset and Dorset, many listed on the hosts' guide leaflet that you are given on arrival. Overall, spot on for those looking for a wild camping style experience with some amenities.
Disliked: Nothing - hope to return in future for a longer stay.

Liked: Amazing, quiet secluded campsite! The site was amazing, you have your own little slice of the woods, perfect for a quiet getaway, our dog absolutely running around and chewing all the sticks. The hosts were absolutely perfect, super friendly and helpful and genuinely made the trip for us. I cannot recommend this site more!

Liked: On arrival we were met by Nigel and Yvonne, who were most welcoming and Nigel escorted us to the campsite which is a short drive from the farm. The first thing that struck us was that the pictures we had seen on here didn’t do the site justice. The campsite is laid out perfectly, with the campfire was the first area we came to and it’s perfect for cooking and relaxing by the fire. Next was the pitch site, plenty big enough for our large tent, flat with wood chips and a nice view other the site. And but not least the toilet, nice and clean with plenty of spare rolls. If your looking for somewhere to get away from the hustle and bustle of life then look no further, being the only one on site is a god send and your not overlooked by anyone and virtually no road noise just peace and quiet. And yes there is no shower, but that is easily overcome with a bucket of water and some soap (it’s like wild camping with a toilet and fire pit) You do have to drive across a field to get to the campsite, we had a Toyota Verso and it was no problem at all. We were so impressed we are coming back, and would have no problem at all recommending this campsite to anyone.
Disliked: None and we mean that.
