Field 725 Eco Camping and Glamping

Friendly and relaxed atmosphere, festival vibe, staff very helpful, lots of space, a communal tent with some games, sofas and plugs to charge your electric gadgets. Compost toilets were clean and there was no odor at all. Showers with hot water and a station to do your washing up. Great spot for your day out trips to Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury, Bath etc.

Nothing to complain about really.

Quirky, svenery

Kitchen wash up area used for brushing teeth.
Toilets needed tlc

It was gwirky, quiet, unique.
Scenery was stunning.

People brushing their teeth in the washing up area.
A little bit of tlc required on toilet areas.

Bush craft that was available. Rural aspect. Variety of chickens. Allowed camp fires. Compost lavatories, very effective and didn’t smell. Would be better if there were windows so possible to enjoy the view while seated!

Showers did not work well, could only get them luke warm. On the upside they were clean snd apart from water temp, very pleasant.

The location is brilliant, nice flat field, terrific views over the countryside and the colleagues onsite were very friendly. The Eco-concept is superb. Please note - it has moved from the location noted on the Pitchup website. Field 725 campsite has moved from its original home on the outskirts of Frome to a new hilltop setting in Wanstrow between Frome and Bruton.

They may have just had an unlucky week- constant problems with toilets blocking and being out of action, cold water in showers and for washing dishes. The toilets and showers felt ramshackle and either second hand kit that was very tired or rather weak in construction. Activities were cancelled without much notice and on one evening the staff seemed to have friends over for a..... merry.... party that was still going at daylight.

There is a large communal tented seating area which is a brilliant idea but was full of broken games and toys and torn furniture.

This isn't to do with eco its to do with poor maintenance and lack of management unfortunately.

The showers were funky and hot. The views were amazing and hiring a firepit was easy, good value and a lovely thing to do. The pizza cafe on Saturday night made yummy pizzas too, some take away deliver too (at the bottom of the hill!)

Note the photos on this listing are of Field725 at their previous location, which wasn't too obvious to us on booking. We camped while the site was still getting established, so there were a few things still a little rudimentary, and we weren't quite sure of reception times to ask questions.

It's more of a glamping site that might attract group bookings (we were there with a wedding and hen do), so if you are happy with that kind of vibe, then go for it. Of course it depends on who is booked to stay - you might have a totally different experience.

The road up to the top of the hill is steep - you just need to be in low gear and give your car some welly!

The Somerset views and it was a quiet site for young children

The pitch grass was knee length and therefore we had to try and pitch on this. This should have been cut even if just where the tent needed to go.
The toilets were not plumbed correctly and the waste kept coming up back into the toilets.
The website had said there were facilities on the site such as a coffee cart, which pitch up showed in a photograph but that didn’t exist.

Nice rural location, basic amenities which is what I guess it the eco side of the accommodation.

Felt it wasn’t made for accommodating children as didn’t have much for children to do or a play area which was designated for kids but was over grown and full of stinger nettles. Rough road on the way up - luckily I have a suv to get up, saw a few smaller cars getting stuck trying to get up the hill!
