Liked: The site is a very relaxing place to stay. Love hearing the occasional whistling of the old steam train pulling in and out of the station that is only a 10 minute walk from the site. You can also pass the time watching the chickens and geese on the campsite. There is also a The Lethbridge Arms pub Restaurant about a 25 minute walk away. There is also the Quantock Ale Brewery by the railway station. The owners are very nice and welcoming. Our 3rd visit to the site and we will certainly be back. Our friends who visited with us for the first time loved it too. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place.
Disliked: The only negative is, is the shower head is a little faulty. But this is fixable.
