Great site. Would definitely stay again if we're in the area.
Electric optional grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely, quiet away from it all stay in a Somerset orchard. Small, but friendly site. Composting toilets are unique but not a problem. good showers.
Disliked Nothing
Most expensive site of our tour with worst facilities.Not returning.
Electric optional grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Peace and quiet, orchard setting, easy hookup, good access to coastal path.
Disliked £12 COMPULSORY green club membership.
No waste water disposal for either casette or grey water. Only Composting toilets for campers when normal WC toilets were available elsewhere on site.
From the manager: Thank you for your review we are glad that you appreciated the peace and quiet of the orchard.
We do have grey water waste but not black and this is explained to anyone that asks. The reason for this is that our site is on a cesspit rather than the mains and chemicals in black waste will destroy the cultures of the cesspit which is not an option.
Our camping license is through the Greener Camping Club and therefore the £12 membership is compulsory and gives access to around 150 sites throughout England and Wales. We really can't do anything about this and always hope that people coming to our site will visit other eco friendly sites using their membership.
The compost toilets are in keeping with the ethos of the Greener Camping Club, I feel that you weren't aware of what we are about, funnily enough we get so many compliments about our compost toilets from campers who are on board with Eco Camping.
The other toilets are on a different part of the site, not accessible to campers and actually belong to a different business.
Your poor review feels a little unfair as you did know the costs upfront and could of chosen a different site if you weren't happy to pay them.
We will continue to pride ourselves on our popular, cosy (but spacious pitches) eco campsite and wish you all the best
