Liked Stunning views!
Great location very near Shepton Mallet - very easy to go and get supplies
Clean and pleasant flushable toilets with plenty of toilet paper and proper sinks in individual cubicles
Friendly host
Lovely local pub with tasty food
Plenty of space so pitches are nicely spread out
Disliked Sloping field - can be hard to find a flat pitch
Three toilets are definitely not enough for peak times - expect queues in the evenings
No hot water at the washing up sink!
No drinking water taps apart from one at the washing up sink - slow running and hard to fill a large water bottle
A lively and loud campsite - there was still lots of noise and music at 11pm, from single sex groups and birthday parties (bring ear plugs). Some music still heard at 4am.
No shaded spots
Very steep walk back from local pub!
Peaceful spot with stunning views
