5 Acres

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 9.6 58 reviews

Large open spaces welcoming everyone to the countryside

A small group happily pitched up on the field

Flat and grassy five-acre site deep in the Somerset Levels
A 15-minute drive from Taunton; Barrington Court 20 minutes
Dog-friendly site with easy access from the A378

As you'd expect from a site with such a name, there's a whole lot of space in which to relax and explore at 5 Acres, a large grassy site in the Somerset Levels. Kids and dogs are both welcome on site here, and there's plenty of scope for them to run about and play games safely away from barbecues and campfires (which are also permitted to keep you warm and fed in the evenings). Facilities on site include firepits, a toilet and shower block and outdoor sinks with mains water. The surrounding Somerset Levels aren’t just out in the sticks – they also produce them. Willow cane has been cultivated the traditional way in this part of the county for hundreds of years and can be seen growing within a mile of 5 Acres. The Levels are also a wildlife haven, making them an all-round top choice for country walks along the many trails nearby. And while this may be a rural retreat, it's also one that's easy to get to as it's just off the A378 (no winding country lanes to negotiate for this one…) Taunton town centre, with its wide range of shops and supermarkets, is a 15-minute drive away. The closest pub and coffee shop are five minutes away by road.

Liked: Lovely big pitches , really liked the converted horsebox for toilets/showers.
Nice tidy site

Disliked: Only thing it was near the main road so not great for dog walking straight from the site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Claire,
Did you use the pedestrian gate in the corner of the site to go out on your dog walk? It cuts out the narrow part of the lane.

Very quiet, lots of dog walks, lovely owner,…

Hobbit house microlodge

Liked: Quiet and peaceful campsite in a well-designed field. Liked the individual sinks / rubbish bins, one for each electric pitch, and shared between 2 or 3 for each non-electric pitch. Very friendly and helpful owner. Through the double door and the private, secret, woodland glade to reach the Hobbit Lodge - all well-thought out and comfortable.

Liked: The rural beauty and simplicity. Plenty of space and all very well kept. Friendly and engaging host who took the trouble to chat and help us.

The site is great value, close to pretty villages and towns and is a great place to simply sit and chill

Sunny during the day and at night wow ..... the stars are amazing (weather allowing of course)

There is no Wi-Fi but the 5G was fine

Definitely coming back.

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.
