The Batch Campsite

Понравилось Stunning location and surroundings. You can see the lights of Cardiff and all the way to the Brecons.
Place is beautifully clean and Tim is an absolute gent.
The Crown Inn at the end of the road is one of the best pubs in Somerset, food, drink, staff and regulars are all sublime. Cannot fault our time here

Не понравилось Absolutley nothing

Понравилось We really enjoyed our stay at The Batch! Tim is a top fella and was very accommodating, the views from the campsite are fantastic, and there are some great walks around the local area. The eggs from Tim's own chickens are delicious. Toilets and showers are very clean and well maintained.

Would stay again!! :)

Понравилось From the first day spent here, I knew that I will be returning to this campsite in the future. The host, Tim, is so friendly, accomodating, and eager to share about the wildlife and history of the surrounding area! He also made sure every visitor had what they needed and were settled, quick to hunt down any small tool that may be needed. The facilities were always clean and well stocked, and the showers were hot with a pleasant water pressure. The kitchen area provides a place to wash up, drinking water, refridgeration, a freezer, and maps for the local area.

The site itself is idyllic; I was greeted with a gorgeous wildflower bank absolutely buzzing with bees and butterflies skipping all over the place. I also saw buzzards and kestrels flying overhead during my stay, and a Roe deer with her fawn one early morning in the orchard - my favourite spot to hide from the peak of the heat! The campfield is bordered with woodland, offering privacy, but also opens up over the valley, perfect for watching the sunset and stargazing. The chickens in the orchard are curious and friendly, I very much enjoyed popping down to see them, and appreciated their fresh eggs for breakfast in the morning.

For walkers, there are many footpaths and public bridleways straight off the path from the Batch, surrounded by a delightful mix of farm and woodland that I thoroughly enjoyed exploring. Dolebury warren is also about a 20 minute walk away, and is a gorgeous nature reserve with stunning views over Somerset!

I felt so welcomed and at peace during my time here and cannot wait to visit again and explore the area even further!

От менеджера: We love your photos and we love that you made the effort to use public transport. Thank you

Понравилось What a fabulous campsite!
Tim was so helpful and obviously takes great pride in his site, without imposing. Perfect balance.
Facilties (loos, shower and kitchen) were clean and didn't have to queue, even when site was fully booked.
I'd recommend ordering a breakfast : all local produce and delicious.
Local pubs within easy walking distance (The Crown was amazing) and evening meal at Star was good.
So many great walks from the Batch.

Понравилось The location was lovely having splendid views and being in a small area surrounded on three sides by trees. However to get there you needed to drive up a rugged track. I decided not to and parked at the bottom and walked up carrying my rucksack. Others did drive up.
The facilities are excellent and there is also a sort of social area where you could make a brew and have a chat.

Не понравилось The pub at the bottom of the hill does not do food in the evening but there are several pubs within walking distance.

От менеджера: This is a lovely review, but just one thing, the camp field is really the social areawhere you can have a brew and have a drink and share food and stargaze and watch the sunset, see the glow worms and laugh and cry . The garage is for emergencies.
