Lovely site but the amenities could do with a refresh

Great location for local attractions

Slightly confused on arrival when there were already 6 units on the field, ours making it 7! Thought Cl sites had a limit of 5? Had to pitch on the left side which is better as it’s more level, but our electric lead didn’t reach to the other side where... Show more

Great site for access to the Strawberry line cycle way

We stay here predominantly because of its location to the Strawberry line cycle way. The site is spotless, lawns well kept. There is a slight slope downwards so you may need to fully extend your jockey wheel, there are extra blocks if needed. There is an on-site swimming pool, that is supposed... Show more

Lovely quiet stop.

This is a very nice quiet place to stay. We were the only ones on site and out of season. Lots of lovely walks right on the door step. About a 15 minute walk to nearest pub.

Lovely site

What a lovely, peaceful site. Very spacious pitches. A great base to go explore Somerset. The strawberry line is just at the end of the lane and a fabulous bike route. We stayed 4 nights and will most definitely be returning.
