What a beautiful and peaceful site. No overcrowding (even on bank holiday) and clean, well stocked facilities. The fishing pond was the icing on the cake. The owners are cheerful and helpful and always on hand. We will definitely be returning.

Greeted by the owner who was friendly and showed the amenities on site. Pitch was a good size and there is a local garage for bits and pieces.

Road slightly noisy but that’s due to the wind direction and how quiet the pitch field was.

Lovely clean site. Ample pitches. Liked how the pitches were cut out of wild meadow field. Toilets were clean. Owners were friendly and helpful. Nice little fishing lake. Thank you, will be back.

The owner was friendly although he never gave me or my mate who also booked a pitch our change even if it was only 75p and 50p, the site gets a lot of road noise late into the night which was a bit annoying when your tired and trying to sleep, we didn't get a choice of pitches either so we could choose where we wanted to be, we were just shown to an area cut amongst the long grass, we had a pitch right next to us with two indian families with young children who were noisy played indian music for hours which was driving us nuts,so to drown out the din we put on our own, one of their children screamed his lungs out all night long into the early hours, my friend packed up and left a day early as he'd had a gut full of them, sorry to say we wouldn't stay at this site again as we went to get away from all noise and worries after my recent bad diagnosis, unfortunately only to leave more tired then when we arrived.

We stayed over the Easter weekend, after silly amounts of rain and a waterlogged site the owners were incredibly accommodating helping us have the best time possible while we stayed, facilities were spot on, the field was lovely and fishing lake was a bonus. We visited the usual cheddar gorge, durdle door etc and the site was central to everything we wanted to do, and following the owners recommendation for all you can eat breakfast under 5 minutes away we were very chuffed both mornings, will 100% be coming back when we are next down south👌🏼

* The camping pod is lovely, with nice little homely touches. There's a double sofa-bed (although not the most comfortable) and a much-welcomed TV and heater. For warmer weather, there's also a decking area with chairs and table. The camping pod was clean and welcoming. * The on-site toilets/shower are really clean and the showers are individual cubicles. * It's very close to Shaftesbury, which is a nice little place. Close to a nice park and skate park too. I'd recommend the nearby Tank Museum and Haynes Motor Museum for day-trips. Not much within walking distance though, a car is needed.

* I wouldn't say this site was particularly picturesque. It is literally behind a petrol station and the first thing you see is a huge row of wheelie bins - not the best first impression. There is also a mechanics/MOT garage and a caravan sales company, all looks a bit tatty. * There are lots of signs warning against fly-tipping and an instruction to phone the owner on arrival. I phoned and was greeted by 'Oh you're here already?' and then I was told to wait 5 minutes! The strange welcome continued as I was then told his wife usually dealt with camping pod check-ins rather than him. Although, it was the first weekend of the season and was very quiet due to wet weather-related cancellations. * The fishing lake (in all the pictures) is nowhere to be seen! Don't expect it to be near the camping pod, it is two fields away! It would be nice for the accommodation to be overlooking the lake. * It is on a busy main road so lots of traffic noise. * What was once the reception appears to be now boarded up and used for storage. * The camping pod is in the corner of a field, dominated by 6/7 semi-permanent caravans/trailers where construction/road workers appeared to be living. There is also a man living on the site in a winnebago. It does look/feel more like a trailer park. Although they were all friendly enough, it was rather off-putting as a lone female. * Would not recommend for families for the above reason and as there are limited facilities. * The camping pod is small - there is little room for anything else once the sofa bed has been pulled out. * The camping pod is advertised as 'with parking space' but that was not true, we were told NOT to park next to the camping pod as it was too muddy. Unfortunately the nearest parking spot was in the car park along the path and round the corner, not the most convenient way to unload/store items when travelling as a single mum with a young child! * There are not enough plug sockets, bearing in mind the lights/TV/heater need to be plugged in. You have to rotate electrical items - and don't forget to pack your own kettle. * The toilets/showers are not close! We had to walk past one closed and locked toilet block to get to the toilet block that was open. Although very nice, there are only a handful of toilets and a couple of showers, so there's probably quite a wait when busy.
