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

Lovely site adjoining the woods right next to the village.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
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

Liked: Very friendly and quiet location.
Disliked: Toilet facilities not great, outdated portaloos. No lights inside the toilets.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. Please note that all facilities are clearly listed on our page. Sensor Lights are installed in all our facilities. We did though hire in a couple of extra toilets for a couple of weeks and it’s noted that these wouldn’t have had these installed. The other 5 toilets all had working lights.

Liked: We stayed with a group of other families with young children. Plenty of space for the kids to run around and play. Good pitch sizes. Good location for walking to the brewery, steam train and a local park. Facilities were always clean. A washing station (cold water) was added while we were there which made washing up easier.
The children loved the badminton and games which were set up and accessible for all.
While we were aware there was only one shower/hot water sink at the time of booking, this did pose some issues with us being able to access these facilities due to being a large group. Shower was always clean.
Disliked: A toilet block and an additional shower/warm water sink would be a welcome addition.

Liked: Ideal for the Quantock Brewery, steam railway and Lethbridge Arms for Thai food which are all within walking distance. We love this site and keep returning. Always very friendly and helpful and a well kept site. We have everything we need in our caravan and we are not looking for a club house or toilet block so suits us very well and really appreciate the owners letting us stay at their site, thank you
