Hi looking for a good cl close to a village or town in Somerset, I got a dog so walking is needed and a local shop and pub would be nice. Many thanks

Here's another one, close to the larger club site in Cheddar. LINK

Try looking around Minehead, Burnham etc, there are quite a few possible places.

Forton House,near Chard is worth a look. Lots of walking opportunities nearby and dog friendly. Depends how close to a town/pub you want to be though as I don't recall either being within walking distance.

Somerset is a large county with vastly differing landscapes and what makes a CL ‘good’ is pretty subjective. It would be useful if the OP gave some clues as to area and the type of site he/she likes.

 We had a bad experience at Gooseslade CL, and there isn't a shop or a dog walk, except along the lanes, close by. 

Barrow Farm, Rode nr Frome has 3 Hardstanding pitches and an off road footpath from the site, ideal for walking your dog. There is a pub and a small shop/cafe in the village.

More and more village pubs are offering short stays for motorhomes (but not for caravans) . You can locate them on www.searchforsites.co.uk for the part of Somerset which interests you.

Sorry to hear you did not like it Nellie; what went wrong?

Having booked a H/S pitch we arrived to find that all were taken, the field was too soft to use & we had to pitch up directly in front of the house, & between it and the entrance gate. We were also 7th van on the site!! Need I say any more?

Take a look at Alice Street Farm. Stayed two weeks last year. Level hardstanding fully serviced pitches. The toilet/ shower room very clean. Access to a field off the corner of the site or down the lane to walk dogs. Only five pitches on cl but they were making two more nearby.
