Burnham-On-Sea, Somerset, England
Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no pets)
Liked The showers and toilets were clean and accessible.
The kids really enjoyed the site - having the facilities onsite like the indoor pool, which was really clean and nice. Something you'd find in a 5 star gym and sauna.
We couldn't use the outside pool as it was raining, but that looked clean and really good too.
The entertainment was really good. The singers were amazing and we all enjoyed the Bingo.
The onsite shop was amazing. It had so many things in there and my children loved going in there. The man in there was also very friendly and helpful as well.
Disliked The music playing in the toilet was WAY too loud. We were pitched up opposite the toilet and if the door was left open you could hear it and those early morning toilet stops were crazy with the radio playing that loud inside.
The food onsite wasn't great, which was really disappointing. The first night my partner had the lasagna, which she said was just pasta and cheese, my youngest had the chicken pie and she couldn't find any chicken in it. My eldest had the kids cheeseburger and the burger was as hard as a frisbie. So she just ate the bun and left the burger.
We would usually take a BBQ and our own food, but because of the weather and the rain, we couldn't rely on that.
The entertainment room was so unbelievably hot and humid. The first night we actually couldn't stand the heat in there. And I saw many people suffering and sweating inside.
There were a lot of traveller folk on this site. We didn't see any trouble or have any issues, but we definitely felt outnumbered.
When we arrived the pitches were hard to find and we got list....signposting is definitely needed if you aren't going to actually show people to their spot. Which for the money we paid per night, I would have expected a little more guidance tbh. We spoke to someone on reception who came to help us. And she said that they no longer have people directing them to the pitches. Which is bizarre.

Electric grass pitch (sloping)
Liked The people are always welcoming and friendly here and put us on a pitch right near to the childrens playarea. Which is great.
The showers are also amazing, as you don't need to keep pressing the button to turn it on. The shower area and toilets are also always clean.
Disliked That we only had one night with you..... We'll be back again.

Allocated electric grass pitch (sea view)
Liked The view of the sea was absolutely stunning. And the people on the site were really friendly and helpful.
Disliked Our view of the sea was very much covered up by two huge camper vans who decided to park lengthways across the pitch. Also the walk to the toilet is a little far if you need to go early in the morning.

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked This is an absolutely beautiful site. The people were friendly and welcoming and the Peacocks were fascinating. I loved the fact that if you are in the touring field, you can just choose wherever you like.
It was super hot on the day we arrived, so we found a beautiful little apple tree to pitch up under.
We will be back. Thank you 🙏😊🙏

Green electric grass pitch
Liked The children absolutely loved the arcades, the entertainment, the pool with the slides....both indoor and outdoor.
The Chinese food from the takeaway was enjoyed by all.
And we ate in the Tavern as well as we enjoyed that.
Disliked The queue to get into the entertainment centre was way too long to stand in. So if you weren't willing to arrive at least an hour before it opened, you'd have to be happy with not getting a seat in there.
We ate at the Golf Club one night and the food was absolutely awful. The worst lasagna I've ever eaten. The manager agreed to not charge us for all three meals as it was that bad.
They also tried to charge us for 2 extra drinks we didn't have
It was a shame as the golf centre is so beautiful.
The toilet and shower block on site was a little grimy. And played really loud music and the radio, which was a bit deafening when you went there in the morning.
