Why stay here ...

We are situated in Somerset's famous farming community. We are in a beautifully secluded, quiet garden, bordered by the River Sheppey with an acre of meadow on our southern side and Burcott Lane to the East.

During your stay enjoy our covered riverside seating and BBQ area where you might just see otters, kingfishers, heron and much more! There is stepped access down to the river where you can have a paddle and cross the river, or using the local footpath, cross over to the adjacent playing field and a well equipped children’s playground.

We offer a large, peaceful garden that is flat and level on a well kept lawn. We welcome all caravans, smaller motorhomes, awnings, children, and pets (please keep all dogs on leads and under control at all times and clean up accidents after you).

Adjacent to the site there is a one acre semi secure field for you to walk your furry friends, this is especially nice along the river bank. Please note this is sometimes shared with the local farmers' sheep with several longer walks accessible across the nearby fields.

Enhanced security as our site is totally enclosed and protected by electric gates & CCTV cameras.

Probably the best CL we have ever stayed on!

We recently spent five wonderful days at Riverside Cl. Michelle, Roger and Barnaby were excellent hosts. We obviously had a bumpy drive from Bath and Bristol because on our arrival we found that neither our fridge or toilet were working. A loose 6 volt connection? Michelle kindly stored our food...
