Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Short walk to the beach, lots of space, easy to find. Also there is a close by station with vintage trains that you can catch to the coastal town of Minehead.
Disliked: Only one compost toilet, always a queue.

From the manager: Hi Daniel
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
I am glad you enjoyed many aspects of the site and take on board there is always room for improvement.
We are a tiny site in terms of numbers of tents and usually the facilities are adequate, however I do recognise the need for an additional toilet and one is planned to be installed shortly.
Kind regards
Lisa

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Friendly welcome, nice site, at the top of the field you can see the sea but the flatter part of the field is at the bottom. Nice and close to Minehead, Blue Anchor, Watchet and Dunster.
Disliked: Had to be shown by another camper how to turn on the light in compost toilet as it is not obvious and unfortunately this wasn't working on the second night so its best to take your torch. Also unfortunately, the toilet is not checked often and despite a note clearly explaining what to do and what you can and cant put down there, the toilet was an awful mess the second morning which another camper cleaned as well as he could so that it could be used.

From the manager: Hi, thank you for staying with us and taking the time to write the reviews.
I am so sorry you had trouble with the toilets. I myself clean and check and cl them 2 to 3 time a day every day without fail. Unfortunately not everyone is great at cleaning up after themselves. I will increase my cleaning checks on busier days.
The toilet is normally very clean and I apologise for it not being so when you visited. I know how important this is.
On the light situation, it is solar so will run out if not switched off. There are instructions on the use of this and the toilet inside the toilet as you enter. I am sorry you didnt spot them. I will be putting up extra signs to tell people to switch the light off, but solar does mean it can run out.
Bringing a torch camping is always a good idea :)
We hope you will visit again and have a better experience.
Kind regards
Lisa

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Easy instructions on how to find the place. Field spacious and quiet. Scenery tranquil, relaxing and extremely rural. Steam train running at back of field was a great addition. Facilities clean, field tidy, owner very polite and informative. Good local knowledge. Minehead Town not far away, beaches not far away, sights of ecological interest a short drive.
