Cider connoisseurs: you’ll find this site most sweet indeed. Tucker's Grave Inn and Campsite is a traditional cider pub that’s one of the oldest in Somerset: its doors first opened to thirsty travellers over 200 years ago… The pub these days has been unchanged for over a century: no TVs, flashing fruit machines or noisy jukeboxes here, just a friendly and lively vibe, a community of locals and visitors… and a roaring open fire to curl up in front of. ‘A proper pub’, ‘timeless excellence’ and ‘probably the best pub ever’ are a sample of guest views on this lovely old inn… and, as is fitting for such an old place, you might spy a cat snoozing gently on the windowsill too… Tipple options at Tucker's include Butcombe Original straight from the barrel, and a nicely rounded range of traditional ciders such as Cheddar Valley, Black Rat, Rich's and Pheasant Plucker… or you might opt for Mallets sparkling cider, beer… or tea/coffee if you prefer your beverages non-boozy. Whatever you pick, fortify yourself for evenings, as there's regular live music in the barn. Outside, there’s a beer garden with spectacular Somerset views as well as a firepit to cosy around over an evening pint, and the inn also has a skittle alley with a woodburning stove. You can play shove ha’penny in the Tap Room too (yes, kids do regularly become fans of this rather quickly). Camping is in a large sheltered field a nifty two-minute totter from the pub, three and a half miles from the village of Faulkland and about 25 minutes' drive from Bath. There's water access and the site has access to toilets and showers. The site welcomes groups to the site, making every effort to remind them of their quiet-time policy (and in case you're worried about any group getting carried away with excitement, there's a peaceful area set aside from the groups for guests who want extra peace and quiet).

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Incredibly good value
Delicious cider
Amazing free entertainment
Staff polite
Nice pitches
Quiet at night

Disliked: Nothing really, only improvement I could think would be some signal boosters for the WiFi. Saying that, it's not a signal black spot and I could still get 4g.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Good clean toilet/shower block. Also liked the different defined areas - adult only, quiet, group, family. Liked the peacefulness of site

Disliked: Would have preferred flatter area for camping, the only small flat area was occupied with campervans, maybe mark that section for tents only

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Pub on site, good facilities, close to Bath and in a nice area.

Disliked: The bathrooms do need to have somewhere to put things when changing, like a shelf or a table to avoid putting things on the floor. The water was also scalding hot. The check in hub was closed on arrival and no instructions where to go to check in instead.

Local attractions

There are plentiful ways to take in the scenic surrounds while working up a thirst for your evening pint: saddle up for horse or pony treks 10 minutes’ drive away, or head to Bradford-on-Avon to don a captain's hat and navigate a barge through local waterways. If you'd rather just take a walk, a fine place is Westbury (25 minutes), where you can wander off in search of its 55-metre White Horse, carved into the chalk hills. More leisurely days out might take you for a fragrant bimble among the blooms of Somerset Lavender (five minutes' drive) or along the pretty paths at Prior Park Landscape Gardens (15 minutes). Best be allocating a whole day to a trip to Longleat (20 minutes) too, especially if you've got the small sorts in tow; there’s a huge collection of wild beasts to see on the safari trails, and also some rather gorgeous gardens to stroll through. Town times may well feature on your schedule too: you can drive to Bath in around 25 minutes, or take in Wells (35 minutes), Glastonbury (45 minutes) or Bristol (45 minutes).
