Liked The perfect family friendly pitch! We came in the heatwave but the little honesty shop was well stocked with ice pops/lollies and cold drinks. There’s great toys for the kids and it’s enclosed so you don’t have to worry about them running off anywhere. It was chilled and friendly, and everything that we needed. We ended up extending our stay by two nights because we loved it so much

From the manager: Hey, thank you for the review, be great to see you back at The Paddock when you get chance

Thanks,

Liked I had a lovely stay at this campsite with my dog. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. Spacious pitches and a relaxing atmosphere in the evening. Unfortunately I chose the hottest day in May which my dog didn’t cope well with, so I headed home earlier than planned. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a great camping experience!

Liked Beautiful, peaceful campsite, perfect for families. Clean and well maintained site, excellent grass pitches which were spacious and flat. Flushable toilets and showers available. Loved the childrens area, with a variety of games and activities available, well lit communal areas, ample washing up facilities, small fridge for campers use also available. Honesty box for milk, eggs, cold cans and ice lollies.
The owner of the site was friendly and approachable, made us feel welcome and keen to ensure out stay went well. We really enjoyed our visit, and it was a perfect base to see local attractions such as Glastonbury, Haynes Motor museum, Yeoville, bigger supermarkets / shopping easily accessible 10-15mins drive. We would definetly stay again. Excellent Wifi freely available, which is great as phone signal variable.

Liked We booked a last minute weekend camp over the May bank holiday at the Paddock and absolutely loved it. Lovely pitches, great communal area with picnic tables, games for kids etc. Fab facilities, great water pressure in the showers, and everything kept clean and tidy. The honest fridge and freezer were very popular. The highlight for us was the chilled and sociable vibe, everyone was super friendly and we think that's down to Neil and his partners amazing hospitality. Lots of good chat and couldn't be more helpful answering our questions about local walks and how to run a campsite. Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back.

Liked Neil and his wife were wonderful hosts - really welcoming, lovely people. Neil was always around the site chatting and checking in with guests.
The site was clean, well-maintained and safe.
The shower and toilet facility were great - I love having a toilet additionally in a private bathroom with a shower.
The pitches were a good size and the grass was lovely and soft.
There was a facility with ice-creams and soft drinks which you could pay for with an honesty box. I didn’t have cash on me to buy anything but I will do next time or card facility?!
There are some different walking options to get to the local town of Somerton - not for the faint hearted….. although, some are easier than others.
Somerton was absolutely stunning. It is so well looked after and clean with some beautiful places to sit outside of and just watch the world go by.
We watched the sunsets from our van and relaxed in the evenings.
The site provides fire pits should you wish to use one and not have your own.
It is a little gem in the Somerset countryside.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review, glad you had a good stay at The Paddock. Just so you know, and for other guests, we do have a card payment option if you don't have cash for the honesty shop. Yes Somerton is well worth the walk in with its lovely relaxed vibes.

Thanks,

Neil

Liked Absolutely loved the whole site. Neil and Mandy excellent hosts. The site was spotless and they were really helpful. Honesty shop great value. Pub 5 mins walk and easy to catch bus to near by towns. We will definitely be back

Disliked Nothing at all.

From the manager: Thank you both so much for the review, glad your stay was good, it was a pleasure having you stay at The Paddock.

Liked First and foremost – the welcome. The owner could not have done more to make us feel at home. Friendly, helpful, and genuinely warm, it makes such a difference when you arrive somewhere and immediately feel looked after. Within about five minutes we felt less like paying guests and more like long-lost relatives who’d popped round for a cuppa and accidentally stayed the weekend.

The site itself is lovely – around 12 grass pitches, all beautifully maintained and well kept. The grass was so neat and pristine it almost felt rude to park on it. The facilities were excellent: always clean, tidy, and well stocked. Honestly, I’ve stayed in hotels with bathrooms less spotless than these. There’s even a small on-site shop with essentials ranging from ice lollies to champagne, all run through an honesty box system, which says a lot about the trust and respect the owner has for guests. It’s wonderfully British really – “help yourself, leave the money, and please don’t run off with the Magnum ice creams.”

There’s also a fantastic games area for children, it’s pet friendly, and they even provide free fire pits – yes, free! In this day and age, when some places would probably charge extra for oxygen after 10pm, this felt positively revolutionary. Evenings spent around the fire pit with a drink in hand and marshmallows slowly turning from “perfectly toasted” to “completely cremated” were definitely a highlight. For us, this is the gold standard of campsites.

The surrounding area is beautiful too, with countless walks, rolling hills, and stunning views that make you briefly consider quitting your job and moving to the countryside permanently. Somerton, Street, and Glastonbury are all within a 10-minute drive, making it a perfect base for exploring. Whether you fancy independent shops, quirky cafés, countryside pubs, or simply pretending you’re on an episode of Escape to the Country, it’s all nearby.

We will absolutely be returning – and probably more than once! In fact, we were halfway through discussing dates for our next visit before we’d even packed the car. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Disliked Having to leave at the end of our stay!
