What customers say

A peaceful, spacious site with large pitches, many offering privacy. Guests rave about the exceptionally clean, quirky converted horsebox/lorry restrooms. Owners are described as friendly, helpful, and communicative. No Wi-Fi, but many appreciate disconnecting. Occasional road noise is noted.

Hobbit house microlodge

Liked The amazing wild garden, the fire pit (starting fires in it was super quick and easy), the birds visiting, proximity to lovely country lanes and villages. A wonderful combination of having amenities but feeling like I was living in the woods. Very friendly and informative welcome.

Disliked There was a little more traffic noise than I would have liked in a perfect world. Otherwise, it was wonderful.

From the manager: Elaine,
I always see an 8/10 as a bad review so not really understanding being marked down on the things you highlighted as features you specifically liked - on both visits.

Stuart R.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Quiet site with large pitches. Large field camping.
Quirky toilet and shower well serviced every day with a fresh towel.
Good communication with owners.

Disliked Field bounded by roads on two sides so some traffic noise but it did not bother us.

Local attractions

First time in the West Country? Get your bearings at the Museum of Somerset (15 minutes' drive), a family-friendly local history exhibit housed in the grand surrounds of Taunton Castle. Other history-infused haunts, like National Trust-managed Barrington Court (20 minutes) and Coleridge's Cottage (40 minutes), are also pretty sure to help you get a feel for the place. Already a maven in all things southwestern? Skip the history lesson and get straight out for rambles in the Quantock Hills (20 minutes). The coast is also within range, whether you opt to head north to the Bristol Channel for swims at Kilve beach (40 minutes) or a trip to Watchet arcade (40 minutes) or south to Lyme Regis (45 minutes) on Dorset's Jurassic Coast. If you're looking to branch out from your common and garden holiday attractions, take a closer look at the traditional willow products on display at Coates English Willow Visitor Centre (10 minutes). More local produce can be inspected (and tasted) at promisingly named Sheppy's House of Cider (15 minutes), a well-established Somerset firm where you can analyse dry, medium and sweet varieties.
