Family-friendly site in a rural spot three miles from Frome
A 15-minute drive from Longleat House and Longleat Safari Park
Firepits and games room on site

Set on a Somerset break? It's a crafty move to grab a spot at The Den and Orchard, a family-friendly site on the edge of Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It just so happens that there are plenty of walks nearby, as well as other days out in the local area including fishing, mountain biking, visits to National Trust properties and the excellent Longleat Safari Park. Firepits are positioned on every pitch for a laidback evening of cooking and flame gazing. The appointed chef can acquire essentials at the supermarkets in Frome, three miles away. If you'd rather let someone else do the honours, it's possible to order local food delivery from your phone or take a short five-minute drive to local food outlets. Facilities on site include a washing-up area and a wooden toilet block with gents’ and ladies’ toilets and showers. A games room (with darts, table football and table tennis) is on hand too, for damp evenings and general entertainment. Being just under half a mile from an A road, you may hear some road noise at rush hour or if the wind is blowing in the site's direction. Just outside of Frome, it's a bit noisier here than at a fully rural site, but it's very handy for getting around and also for ordering from takeaways in Frome or quickly picking up supplies in town.

Rebecca N. Apr 2025

Electric optional grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Great proximity to Frome (walkable) toilets were clean, pitches were clean and tidy. No person contact but not needed to be honest, easy to find and felt safe.

Disliked: We did visit on easter weekend so the site was fully booked but it was uncomfortably full. The pitches all nudged up to the path/drive so every person on the site who needed to leave/enter, wash up, toilet, go to the play park had to walk within a metre of the front of the van which gave a very fishbowl effect, and the next pitch both in-front and next to us both sides was no less than 3 metres away and the only place to sit out was next to the van so again you felt quite exposed, teamed with a busy site, noise from the dual carriageway (which was clearly stated so no shade) didn’t have quite the chilled weekend we planned. Site would be really lovely if there were 50% less pitches.

Local attractions

Work up an appetite for the next meal tackling the mountain bike trails at Windhill Bike Park or seeking out one of the circular walking trails in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; both are about 10 minutes away by car. If you’d like your walks to take in pretty gardens and historic buildings, head to Nunney Castle (five minutes’ drive), The Walled Garden at Mells (10 minutes) or Stourhead National Trust property (15 minutes). Bath’s half an hour away for urban strolls with a Roman tinge, and fishing is 15 minutes away at Shearwater Lake for those who need a bit of a rest. You’ll easily fill a day over at Longleat (15 minutes away), driving the safari trails, visiting all the different animal areas, touring the house and pottering through the pleasure gardens. The famed caves and kid-friendly attractions at Wookey Hole are about half an hour away.
