Liked Thank you, Yvonne and Nigel, for another really enjoyable and welcoming stay – my third return visit. Even though it was 30 centigrade and above every day, camping in the firepit clearing always gave some welcome shade as the sun moved round through the day and the cool water on tap was always welcome. As always, the longer you sit and chill, the more likely the local wildlife reveals itself. Apart from the higher-than-normal butterfly and dragonfly/damselfly action, and roe deer at dusk crossing the stream bridge and strolling up the slope before the parking point at dusk; this year, a couple of squabbling kingfishers burst out of the undergrowth from the stream into the clearing, had a mid-air tussle over my tent, then sped down the clearing and were gone. I’ve heard their distinctive call on every visit a few times a day, but hadn’t seen them here until this year, so it was a welcome and unexpected visitation into the firepit clearing. All in all, I had a great time here, whether staying at base, or venturing to the coast around Seaton, or visiting Street and the Somerset Levels. I will no doubt return again.

Disliked Not having the time this year to stay for longer and not only enjoy the campsite, but to explore more of the vast potential of Somerset and Devon in the surrounding area.

From the manager: Thanks again for a lovely review - it's great the local wildlife gave you such a display, especially the kingfishers! Look forward to your return , you're always welcome .

Liked Another really enjoyable repeat visit to Manor Farm. Nigel and Yvonne are genial hosts and the site doesn’t disappoint, offering tranquillity, privacy and birdsong and the bubbling stream for company. There is just something about cooking over a campfire in the open air that is unbeatable. I’m sure to return for another visit as it is set up perfectly for comfortable wild camping and is so handy for day trips out to the many attractions in Dorset and Somerset that surround it, if you can pull yourself away from the campsite itself. Next time, I hope I can make the time to stay here for longer.
