Meadow Cottage CL

Why stay here ...

Meadow Cottage CL is a peaceful level field situated near the Somerset/Dorset border, just 1 mile from the A303, equidistant to Sherborne to the south and Castle Cary to the north.

It is a very good base for a touring holiday in the south-west, or as a stop-over on your way from London to the west country or vice versa.

We are a 5 minute drive from Haynes Motor museum, 15 minutes from Yeovilton Air Museum. The Jurassic coast resorts of West Bay, Lyme Regis and Weymouth can all be reached in under an hour and Stonehenge is a 40 minute drive east.

Due to the CL entrance being on a narrow lane we can only accept single-axle caravans and small motorhomes (max 7.5 metres).

We provide 16 Amp hook-up and free Wi-Fi.

The small village of Weston Bampfylde has a licensed farm shop, a dog grooming parlour and a beauty salon.

A pleasant 20 minute walk on footpaths leads to a dog-friendly pub in South Cadbury which serves good food every day. There are also several other pubs in the area just a short drive away.

Our nearest large supermarkets are in Wincanton (Morrisons and Lidl) just off the A303. The nearby village of Queen Camel (2 miles west) has a Premier store which is open 8am-9pm every day and Sparkford Services has a Spar and a McDonald’s.

There are three National Trust properties worth visiting in the area: Stourhead, Lytes Cary and Montacute.

On your approach to Meadow Cottage CL you will pass through Little Weston which has a farm that makes very good cider, which can be purchased direct from the farm (a pleasant half mile walk from our CL).

We are a working smallholding with pigs, geese and chickens and welcome well-behaved dogs with some fantastic walks straight from our gate.

We don't have any hidden fees but we do ask that you only use breathable groundsheets.

The approach road to the CL is also Sustrans bicycle route 26. It is a country lane with passing places therefore we ask that you don't arrive before 12:30 on your arrival date and you leave before midday on your departure date making sure vans don’t meet on the lanes.

If you have any questions about the CL or the local area, please don't hesitate to contact us.
