Daniel S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Short walk to the beach, lots of space, easy to find. Also there is a close by station with vintage trains that you can catch to the coastal town of Minehead.

Disliked: Only one compost toilet, always a queue.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Daniel Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am glad you enjoyed many aspects of the site and take on board there is always room for improvement. We are a tiny site in terms of numbers of tents and usually the facilities are adequate, however I do recognise the need for an additional toilet and one is planned to be installed shortly. Kind regards Lisa

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Friendly welcome, nice site, at the top of the field you can see the sea but the flatter part of the field is at the bottom. Nice and close to Minehead, Blue Anchor, Watchet and Dunster.

Disliked: Had to be shown by another camper how to turn on the light in compost toilet as it is not obvious and unfortunately this wasn't working on the second night so its best to take your torch. Also unfortunately, the toilet is not checked often and despite a note clearly explaining what to do and what you can and cant put down there, the toilet was an awful mess the second morning which another camper cleaned as well as he could so that it could be used.

From the manager: Hi, thank you for staying with us and taking the time to write the reviews. I am so sorry you had trouble with the toilets. I myself clean and check and cl them 2 to 3 time a day every day without fail. Unfortunately not everyone is great at cleaning up after themselves. I will increase my cleaning checks on busier days. The toilet is normally very clean and I apologise for it not being so when you visited. I know how important this is. On the light situation, it is solar so will run out if not switched off. There are instructions on the use of this and the toilet inside the toilet as you enter. I am sorry you didnt spot them. I will be putting up extra signs to tell people to switch the light off, but solar does mean it can run out. Bringing a torch camping is always a good idea :) We hope you will visit again and have a better experience. Kind regards Lisa

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Easy instructions on how to find the place. Field spacious and quiet. Scenery tranquil, relaxing and extremely rural. Steam train running at back of field was a great addition. Facilities clean, field tidy, owner very polite and informative. Good local knowledge. Minehead Town not far away, beaches not far away, sights of ecological interest a short drive.

Local attractions

There’s loads for animal-mad families to see: get up close to creepy crawlies and reptiles at Tropiquaria Wildlife Park (10 minutes’ drive) or cuddlier options in the form of rescue dogs at the Golden Retriever Experience (five minutes). Kids can play zookeeper for the day at Exmoor Zoo (50 minutes), or go pony trekking in the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour). The Quantocks are also riddled with hiking and cycling trails, as is Exmoor – trails start right from Dunster Exmoor National Park Centre (five minutes’ drive), while off-roading bikers can get on the Grabbist Hill and Peaks route at Dunster too. Wimbleball Lake Activity Centre (half an hour) is a hub for dinghy sailing and paddleboarding, with equipment available for hire. Turning north to the coast, stroll down to Blue Anchor beach (10 minutes’ walk), search for fossils on Doniford beach (15 minutes) or have a stroll along the shingle at West Street beach before pottering around the pretty harbour at Watchet (both 10 minutes).
