Liked: Nice location, quiet and fairly close to the hills and amenities
Disliked: No soap or hot water in the toilet for hand washing. Water for washing dishes was also cold and showers lukewarm.

From the manager: Thanks for your comment. we’re having an exceptionally busy weekend due to the bank holiday and WSR steam rally by us. So I apologise if the soap dispenser had run out in the luxury toilet trailer on the day you visited. The new multi bay shower trailer does however have sinks as well as showers and hot water with complimentary friends of the earth products for washing hair , body and hands. I do appreciate washing up dishes with cold water is not ideal and our plumber is already scheduled for next week to convert the original shower room to an inside washing up room with hot water sink and countertop. Unfortunately due to availability it couldn’t be done before the long weekend. But will be in place for the rest of the season.
Great location, excellent site with clean facilities!!

Liked: Friendly, informative welcome.Nicely spaced out , level pitches, quiet spot. Complimentary toiletries was a nice touch.
Disliked: Cockeral was very vocal in the morning, but that's what you get if you stay on a small holding.

Liked: Really friendly hosts and such a lovely location. Flat pitches, warm showers and proper toilets. Didnt mind the sound of the roosters at all, it kind of fits in with the country location. My wife popped in to say goodbye when we left and had a good chat with the owner. They work really hard to make the site as nice as possible with more improvemnts to follow. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Disliked: Nothing I really disliked. When we stayed the RAF were night flying but that only lasted about 20 or 30 minutes and before midnight.

Liked: The site felt like a safe space. The host was friendly. The site is a field with electric hook ups, nice showers (one is level for easy access) and toilets. (I didn't use these facilities but did take a look). I arrived just after a busy Bank Holiday and the site was clean and tidy.
Disliked: There is only one washing up sink and I couldn't get hot water. Not exactly a dislike but no hardstanding available and I was told that some areas may get squishy with lots of rain.

From the manager: Hi Thanks for your review. Glad you liked the new multi bay shower trailer. The original shower room is being converted next week to an inside washing up room with hot water sink.
We are grass based surrounded by our woodland. Some parts get more full sun than others. As we had a lot of heavy rain and it’s still early in the season I like to point out the firmer areas for camping. As the season progresses this isn’t necessary as in general we are pretty firm here.
Hope to see you again

Liked: Really lovely welcome from the owner who also allowed us to stay longer on the sunday as we were going on the West Somerset Railway and were going to be late leaving the site... I picked the site as its a 5 minute walk from the railway.. We also walked through the village and tried out a local pub.. 10 min walk, a Chinese takeaway and the local Coop all within a short walk... The facilities are great.. Clean and well stocked portaloos and a lovely shower block.. And a washing up area and all shower gel, shampoo, washing up liquid provided.. Quiet site and will definitely revisit sometime in the future
