Why stay here ...

This is a peaceful site situated in the heart of the Somerset countryside, on the edge of the Mendip Hills. It is south facing with views over the Somerset levels. The site is part of a working farm but is about ¼ mile away from the farmhouse and buildings and therefore generally quiet.

Do not be put off by reference to difficulty regarding the country lanes - the farm's suppliers, including large lorries have no problems getting here.

The site backs on to a small wood and is sheltered from north winds. This means there is also an abundance of wildlife - rabbits, badgers and pheasants abound!

The field is level with unrestricted pitches. We are happy for you to pitch anywhere although this will depend upon how near to the electric hook up you need to be. We currently have one hard standing and are considering more but we are concerned not to spoil the natural feel to the site by making it too regimented.

We welcome motor homes, awnings, children and well behaved pets and do not charge extra for them!

There is a nearby public footpath to the historic city of Wells (approximately 2 ½  miles). There are good pubs and restaurants within 3 miles - also two 18 hole golf courses.

Nearby attractions include Wells Cathedral and Vicars Close, Glastonbury Tor and Wookey Hole Caves and Two 18 hole golf courses. We are close to Cheddar Gorge and the Bath and West Showground. The lovely cities of Bath and Bristol are only 45 minutes away.

Peaceful stay!

Pitts Farm
We stayed for two nights in July 2023. Good communication with John the farmer. Paid in advance by bank transfer. £15 pn to include EHU and putting up a tent. Ideal spot from which we attended a family event at Wells Golf Club. We were the only van on site. The grass was nicely mown and the field tidy. Hardly any traffic on the adjacent road. We had a very peaceful stay and would recommend the site.

Lovely site, perfect for visiting local attractions and an amazing position.

We stayed only for a single night this Easter, in order to provide a base to visit Wookey Hole with our 3 boys. The minute they were out of the car the benefit of a CL site was obvious as they had plenty of space to run around and enjoy themselves without hindering the other visitors. John popped by in the early evening to take payment and was very friendly. Surrounding area is beautiful and well worth a wander down to the farm along the quiet country lanes. Would highly recommend and will be back at some point! Also worth noting there was an issue with the electric supply on one of the pitches, but once the owner was aware there was an electrician there within the hour and it was all sorted.

Lovely Stay

Pitts Farm
We stayed two nights on this delightful site, having booked quite last minute. Initially I couldn't get through on the phone but Mr. Jones called me back almost straight away. Everyone already on the site was very friendly Mr. Jones, the farmer, and his wife were incredibly helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble.We managed the lanes to access the site with no problem and the site was fairly flat We coped in the intense heat which the country was experiencing at that time. The pathways are very accessible and we took a very early morning walk into Wells. Everything was very easy and, yes, we would stay again.

This was a great site. Well located for Wells. Yes there was an inconvenience for drinking water for a small time, but it it brought all temporary residents together with friendly chat. Loads of space, easy foot paths bridalways all the way to Wells and Crosscombe. What a lovely site owner with lovely manor who would do anything for you. An enjoyable stay. Thanks, is what a CL is all about.
