Electric grass pitch
Liked: Stayed at Zeacombe for 4 nights. We liked that you could choose your own pitch and it's a very laid back atmosphere. Check out is whenever you like on the day. There is a small shop on site that sells essentials. The facilities are clean but the showers are way too hot, especially for little ones, I think thermostat needs to be adjusted a bit. I really enjoyed the pizza truck that came on Sunday. It was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I also really liked that you can have BBQs and campfires there. They also sell bags of logs and rent out fire pits if you need. The road next to he campsite is not noisy at all so that was not an issue. Lovely rural feel to the campsite.
Disliked: Showers are too hot and one of showers didn't stop for well over 15/20 mins which steamed up the whole block, think more ventilation or door needs to be able to be propped open. Some signage on the water outlets at the toilet block would be great as it doesn't indicate if it's drinking water or not. The taps dotted around inside the campsites are signed though.

Liked: As soon as we pulled up we were asked if we wanted a cuppa and after being stuck on the M5 for 5 hours it was greatly appreciated. The choice of pitching where we wanted to was a great start. The bathrooms were spotless and the showers were nice and hot. The shop on site is an added bonus and it's well stocked even with logs for the fire. It's a great little campsite the owners are great, we couldn't fault it. We will be adding this one to the list to come again
Disliked: Absolutely nothing

Liked: "Our first trip in our new camper van was fantastic thanks to the helpful staff at the campsite. The toilet and shower block was clean and well-maintained, and there was a washing facility with a washing machine. Everything was easy to locate, and there was a variety of pitches with electric hookups. We really enjoyed our stay."

Liked: Very friendly site. Easy going, no set pitches. You are invited to look around and find a place you fancy. Not penny pinching. Electric hookups and lovely hot water included in the price. Free showers that are the best I've experienced on a camp site and a clean toilet block. Plenty of space. A good camp shop on site and again not hugely expensive. There is a road runs past that some have reported as noisy. It's a rat run and only a little noisy at peak times, it's a small lane and really wasn't a disturbance. We wouldn't hesitate to go back if holidaying in the area again.
Disliked: Be careful not to get caught out with lack of toilet paper. We took our own and it wasn't a problem. It is a little remote and we often spent 45 to 60+ mins driving to get to attractions but the cost and overall this is a small price to pay. Nearest large supermarket is around 20+ mins away but with a shop on site and having to drive out to attractions this wasn't an issue, just combine the two.

Liked: The size of the site was good, you could reach the shop and facilities easily. The shop/reception area also served ice cream & there was a dog area for letting the dog off if you wish. The couple running the site were very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: The children’s play area was a small enclosed piece of grass- however wasn’t a major bad thing as the kids just played next to the pitch. The facilities were in need of a clean, as people who had used them before had left them in a mess- clumps of hair in the shower and on the walls, toilets not flushing properly.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. We're sorry to see that you won't stay again or recommend us. Our shower block is cleaned regularly throughout the day. It would be impossible to clean after every use of the showers. There is one toilet in the ladies out of 5 that doesn't flush properly, we are awaiting parts to fix this, however it doesn't stop the toilet from being used. We don't advertise a play park for children. The play area is a space for the children to play together, whether it be sitting chatting, playing various ball games etc. It is there to try and prevent children playing next to pitches as they often went onto other pitches and the balls hitting other people's caravans, to which they had to be told to move away and play in the area provided! There are other sites that have playgrounds, children's facilities such as games rooms, arcades etc. Fortunately that is not us, we like children to enjoy the fresh air. We will take your comments on board and see how we can improve on that.

Liked: The fact you could choose any location to pitch and check in and check out times were totally flexible. Pizza van was good.
Disliked: Overall cleanliness, toilets could be better looked after. A couple of tatty caravans that seemed to attract 5 cars of visitors. WiFi didn’t work at all. Very remote location. Phone signal awful but not the sites fault.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments and review. The flexible check in/out times are very popular. We're glad you like the pizza's. They are new to us and we have had nothing but good reviews about them so that is good. With regards to your other comments: The toilets are cleaned regularly throughout the day. Unfortunately with children on site we cannot monitor the toilet block 24/7. We apologise about the tatty caravans and 5 cars. We did address the car situation with the people concerned. Unfortunately not everyone can afford up to date caravans. We are 4 miles away from Dulverton, our nearest village and we advertise we are in a remote location. We do have a shop on site that we stock essentials.l If you couldn't get WiFi why didn't you come and tell us when you were on site? We can't do anything about it when you leave! You're the first person we've had in nearly 8 years to say phone signal was bad. Depending on what network you're on we've always had good signal up here. May be there was a network fault. We will take on board your comments and try and resolve the ones we can
