Manor Farm

Tyckte om Thank you, Yvonne and Nigel, for another really enjoyable and welcoming stay – my third return visit. Even though it was 30 centigrade and above every day, camping in the firepit clearing always gave some welcome shade as the sun moved round through the day and the cool water on tap was always welcome. As always, the longer you sit and chill, the more likely the local wildlife reveals itself. Apart from the higher-than-normal butterfly and dragonfly/damselfly action, and roe deer at dusk crossing the stream bridge and strolling up the slope before the parking point at dusk; this year, a couple of squabbling kingfishers burst out of the undergrowth from the stream into the clearing, had a mid-air tussle over my tent, then sped down the clearing and were gone. I’ve heard their distinctive call on every visit a few times a day, but hadn’t seen them here until this year, so it was a welcome and unexpected visitation into the firepit clearing. All in all, I had a great time here, whether staying at base, or venturing to the coast around Seaton, or visiting Street and the Somerset Levels. I will no doubt return again.

Tyckte inte om Not having the time this year to stay for longer and not only enjoy the campsite, but to explore more of the vast potential of Somerset and Devon in the surrounding area.

Tyckte om Sheltered pitch, perfect for evening sunshine. Private and quiet, only sounds from working farm and nearby wildlife! Running mains water and a flushable toilet were welcome additions. Easy to find, only another 30-40 mins on from the M5 Taunton junction. Situated in a picturesque village and Manor Farm has a little farm shop where we got some very delicious eggs for our breakfast.

Very friendly hosts- thank you Yvonne and Nigel! It was exactly what we needed for our break away from the city. Would love to come back and stay again. 10/10!!

Thanks again for you lovely comments Xx

Tyckte om A perfect location to unwind and relax in peace and quiet. Exceeded our expectations and the pictures do not show just how tranquil this campsite is. Yvonne and Nigel are very welcoming and on hand if you need anything. A bonus for our stay was the field of sunflowers which we walked around as the sun was setting.

Från föreståndaren: Hi, thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you had a great time here, and enjoyed the sunflower field, as a bonus!!
We look forward to seeing you here again.
Thanks again Xx

Tyckte om Another really enjoyable repeat visit to Manor Farm. Nigel and Yvonne are genial hosts and the site doesn’t disappoint, offering tranquillity, privacy and birdsong and the bubbling stream for company. There is just something about cooking over a campfire in the open air that is unbeatable. I’m sure to return for another visit as it is set up perfectly for comfortable wild camping and is so handy for day trips out to the many attractions in Dorset and Somerset that surround it, if you can pull yourself away from the campsite itself. Next time, I hope I can make the time to stay here for longer.

Från föreståndaren: Glad you've had a great time here again.
Thank you for the 10/10 review!
And yes, really hope to see you here again - longer next time ! Xx

Tyckte om The Manor Farm camping site was a little bit of paradise found. The only thing I heard for 36 hours was the sound of the stream, the birds and the wind in the trees. It was so beautiful, peaceful and private. I was lucky enough to have sunshine the entire time I was there but Nigel and Yvonne were so lovely it was almost like they had laid that on as well!! If you want an off grid, back to nature (but with a proper loo and running water) clean and so well thought out but remote site then I can’t recommend Manor Farm highly enough. Stock up on your camping food supplies from their little farm shop, it’s fab!!

Tyckte inte om Having to leave….I could have stayed all week.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you so much for your great review. Sorry pleased you enjoyed your stay here.
We’d love to order sunshine all the time, although we do need rain sometimes for the farm crops and the trees!!
We look forward to seeing you here again in the future.
Many thanks Xx

Tyckte om Secluded, only one way in and out. dogs loved it, they had the freedom of the forest. Toilet was clean. Lovely place to stay. Nigel and Yvonne were excellent help for arrival and taking us through to the site providing a nice map of the area and a some sites to see. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again!

Many thanks Xx

Tyckte om This was an exceptional experience. We chose the site because it was a single and exclusive pitch. We found more than we hoped for. Nigel and Yvonne went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Nigel introduced us to ax-throwing and took our two children under his wing and gave them a taste of farm life. They collected eggs and fed the hens among other things. The site itself is very secluded, wooded, with a large pitch alongside a burbling stream. The toilet was very clean. There was a tap for fresh, clean water on site. We didn’t luck out on the weather but the the site and the family made up for this. Loads. Manor Farm shop is a 15 min walk through lovely meadows and sells produce from the farm. The apple juice and eggs were excellent.

Tyckte om Good, secluded & spacious fenced off area of the farm, well maintained and with just enough nice touches to make it off grid but comfortable.

Från föreståndaren: So glad you enjoyed yourselves here in the woods, on the farm.
We hope to see you here again sometime.
Many thanks for your kind review.

Tyckte om You really do have the whole woodland to yourself so great if you don’t want to be disturbed by other campers. Having a working toilet and fresh water tap is useful.
The large fire pit is fantastic for cooking and the focal point especially in the evenings. An under cover area next to the fire to keep things dry if it rains is very handy. There’s even a hammock to use if you want to chill out for a bit and just take in your surroundings. The owners are very friendly and helpful, there if you need them but happy to leave you alone.

Tyckte inte om None.
