The Paddock

Mi è piaciuto I had a lovely stay at this campsite with my dog. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. Spacious pitches and a relaxing atmosphere in the evening. Unfortunately I chose the hottest day in May which my dog didn’t cope well with, so I headed home earlier than planned. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a great camping experience!

Mi è piaciuto Neil and his wife were wonderful hosts - really welcoming, lovely people. Neil was always around the site chatting and checking in with guests.
The site was clean, well-maintained and safe.
The shower and toilet facility were great - I love having a toilet additionally in a private bathroom with a shower.
The pitches were a good size and the grass was lovely and soft.
There was a facility with ice-creams and soft drinks which you could pay for with an honesty box. I didn’t have cash on me to buy anything but I will do next time or card facility?!
There are some different walking options to get to the local town of Somerton - not for the faint hearted….. although, some are easier than others.
Somerton was absolutely stunning. It is so well looked after and clean with some beautiful places to sit outside of and just watch the world go by.
We watched the sunsets from our van and relaxed in the evenings.
The site provides fire pits should you wish to use one and not have your own.
It is a little gem in the Somerset countryside.

Dal gestore: Thank you both so much for the review, glad your stay was good, it was a pleasure having you stay at The Paddock.

Mi è piaciuto First and foremost – the welcome. The owner could not have done more to make us feel at home. Friendly, helpful, and genuinely warm, it makes such a difference when you arrive somewhere and immediately feel looked after. Within about five minutes we felt less like paying guests and more like long-lost relatives who’d popped round for a cuppa and accidentally stayed the weekend.

The site itself is lovely – around 12 grass pitches, all beautifully maintained and well kept. The grass was so neat and pristine it almost felt rude to park on it. The facilities were excellent: always clean, tidy, and well stocked. Honestly, I’ve stayed in hotels with bathrooms less spotless than these. There’s even a small on-site shop with essentials ranging from ice lollies to champagne, all run through an honesty box system, which says a lot about the trust and respect the owner has for guests. It’s wonderfully British really – “help yourself, leave the money, and please don’t run off with the Magnum ice creams.”

There’s also a fantastic games area for children, it’s pet friendly, and they even provide free fire pits – yes, free! In this day and age, when some places would probably charge extra for oxygen after 10pm, this felt positively revolutionary. Evenings spent around the fire pit with a drink in hand and marshmallows slowly turning from “perfectly toasted” to “completely cremated” were definitely a highlight. For us, this is the gold standard of campsites.

The surrounding area is beautiful too, with countless walks, rolling hills, and stunning views that make you briefly consider quitting your job and moving to the countryside permanently. Somerton, Street, and Glastonbury are all within a 10-minute drive, making it a perfect base for exploring. Whether you fancy independent shops, quirky cafés, countryside pubs, or simply pretending you’re on an episode of Escape to the Country, it’s all nearby.

We will absolutely be returning – and probably more than once! In fact, we were halfway through discussing dates for our next visit before we’d even packed the car. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Non mi è piaciuto Having to leave at the end of our stay!

Dal gestore: Hi Vince,

Thanks for your second visit to The Paddock and for the review, great to see you, short as it was.

Thanks,

Mi è piaciuto It’s obvious a lot of care and attention has gone into the paddock. The pitches are well spaced, the facilities are brilliant and clean, loved the self service honesty shop (the biscoff brownies!!!) bus stop just outside for a quick trip into Glastonbury. Neil was very helpful and friendly, would definitely stay again
