Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Really lovely small site which we took our caravan to for a two night stay so we could explore Glastonbury which was about 10min drive away. Lovely welcome from Neil who also gave us advice on planning our trip to climb the Glastonbury Tor. Perfect for families with a communal seating area and a nice relaxed feel. Felt very safe for our 6yr old to play and use the facilities etc independently which he loved! Two nice showers with toilets in the same room, always clean and tidy when we used them. Few mins walk from a nice local pub which served lovely food.
Disliked: Disliked is a strong word but it was quite tightly packed so maybe one or two less pitches would mean a bit more space. Also somewhere for grey water disposal would be useful.

Liked: Lovely clean site, quiet with flat pitches. Sheltered by trees and hedges. Showers warm and toilet always spotless. Picnic tables available for use. Small freezer for communal use. Stock of ice-creams, lolly pops and cold drinks which could be purchased for a very reasonable price. Friendly and helpful hosts. Would recommend and would definitely visit again. Close to Street and Glastonbury.

Liked: The Paddock is to notch, small campsite. It's level, the ground is perfect and well mown. Pitches are laid out clearly and the site has everything. Loos and showers are immaculate and the showers are really lively to use. Everything has been thought of and is right sized for the site. Very Highly recommended.

Liked: Just returned from a lovely 4 night stay at The Paddock with our 2 young children. Greeted on arrival by Neil the manager who was very friendly and welcoming. The site was lovely and flat for our tent and felt safe and secure. The toilet and shower facilities were kept immaculate throughout our stay.
The kids particularly enjoyed the ‘Paddock hub’ spending each evening for hours playing in there.
Great location for getting to where we had planned to visit which were Glastonbury Town & Tor, Cheddar Gorge & Wells city.
Neil and his wife were great hosts and had great knowledge on the local area and very easy to talk to.
We hope to return next year to Somerset and will not hesitate to book The Paddock!
Disliked: Nothing! We loved it!
