Μου άρεσε: Location, Stream, Host, Firepit, Welcome pack, Wood

Δεν μου άρεσε: Toilet ( but this was super clear in the booking details so we were prepared. Its totally fine if you are a family / very comfortable with eachother! )

Little difficult to get in and out during the wet due to the muddy hill up but managed!

Μου άρεσε: Location superb. As grandparents with children and grandchildren in the party we found things to do both on the door step and within a short car ride. Exmoor is a beautiful place to holiday with many things to see and do around the area.
The site was just about accessible with our twin axle horsebox motorhome although the drive in is steep so caution is recommended to survey the access before driving in. Tent pitches were really good. Hosts could not be more accommodating and were very helpful with local advice. Small shop in the village and a lovely pub but we advise booking early, I would think the hosts would be happy to sort this when booking. Walks from the site are on a fairly busy B-road but footpaths and grassy bridleways are only a short distance away.
Facilities at the site include electric hookup and drinking water tap, both next to the gravelled area for motorhome parking, and a rudimentary but functional outside open air toilet, with another tap and a bin. As the site is booked only for one party at a time then for us the outside facilities and slight lack of privacy were not an issue. Groups of friends might find this a problem but the site itself might be enough of a bonus to outweigh this issue. A small fire pit and logs are available and the grassy area around this is provided with wooden seating. The stream is accessible and our small children played and paddled safely. Very poor mobile signal which might be considered a good or a bad thing but the hosts do offer a Wi-Fi connection near the house.
A great family holiday location and would happily recommend.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Having to leave.
Perhaps a slightly higher fence around the toilet might be nice but it wasn’t really a problem for us. A recycling bin would be a good addition.

Μου άρεσε: The site was brilliant. We enjoyed the extras such as the fire pit, the brook, and the free range chickens. Also received some very nice welcome gifts as well which were much appreciated. The view was amazing as well. The only downside was that we did not have a radio/tv/or phone/4G signal whilst staying. There is WiFi available at the B+B up the road. Would suggest that a WiFi repeater be installed to at least give the pitch basic WiFi, even if it is at an extra cost. Other than this, no issues at all. Many thanks to the very nice and friendly owners for a great time.

Μου άρεσε: The extremely friendly owners, the peace and quiet, lovely firepit by the stream, welcome pack from owners is a really nice touch too :) - water point and electric hook up great too.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Nothing - qas great site, as a suggestion maybe make the fence around the loo slightly higher, maybe even put a tarp style covering over it
