A fiim favourite. Beautiful surroundings and so peaceful. Far enough away from the town to feel like you've got away from it all, but not too far away from beaches and other beauty spots.

Such a great family-friendly site. Good covid-19 precautions. Next to a small reservoir. Has a field for donkeys, mini pitch and putt course, playground, pond and small unheated swimming pool. The family that run the place are so friendly, hospitable and welcoming. Conveniently close to Bridgwater and to the north Somerset coastline.

We've really enjoyed our stay here. We camped up on the tents only field as opposed the the fields slightly nearer the toilets and showers. It's been wonderful. Despite being half term there's only been a maximum of 3 tent units in the field and some of the week, we were the only unit! The site is perfect for children who love to explore. Ours have loved playing in the stream, watching the waterfall and chatting with the donkeys. They've also had a great time attempting to row on the little boating pond. This site suits us perfectly. The most wonderful mix of wildness and comfort. E.g. we have

Best campsite we have ever visited won't be ling until we return again. Can't fault the staff and the price was what swayed our decision against other sites nearby despite reading other out dated reviews elsewhere so pleased we decided to take a chance and form our own opinions. Thank you see you again soon.
