We loved this site. It was our first visit and just a short stay on way back from Cornwall. We met up with my parents who were also staying on the site. Cheddar Gorge was a must and by a strange coincidence we took a photo of my son on a rock that we noticed in a scene of Poldark Series 4 after we got home! We are watching on Netflix and thought it would remind us of Cornwal where we visited the mines, but in fact we now know that some of it was filmed in beautiful Cheddar. We thought Cheddar was well organised for Covid-19, as was the site. We did not have any issues with people not following the guidance on this site. There was a bit of noise at night from somewhere off site, one night - sounded like it came from the river area, but apart from that it was perfect and we would visit again.
Has been a while since last here, so not sure what to expect, especially after Covid restrictions, but had a great few days here. Well done to Wardens Malcom and Jo, they really looked after everyone, so pleasant and could not do more for us
Site is close to the centre and is walkable to the Gorge, shops and restaurants. A cycle route (Strawberry line) is not too far away and takes you into Axbridge.
There are 2 supermarkets near to the site also, but not for a Motorhome, as you pay for each bay you take up, !
Will definitely be back 😄🚐
For us, the principle reason to stay at this site is being able to walk into Cheddar, and up to the gorge. By chance we found a walk around the local reservoir, which is definitely worth a find.
The site itself is quiet, though the neighbouring campsite not necessarily so.
The site team were business-like (though not unfriendly). The notices on the cubicle doors in the toilet blocks would have been softer (closed maybe, rather than COVID-19) as the latter did not envoke reassurance. Having said that, there was no doubting the cleanliness of the toilet block.
Stayed at this site recently to meet up with friends also in their van and using this site!!!
First time on the site and will definitely return.......Due to the Caravan Club sending me a txt four days before we Set off we arrived at the site at 12.00 !!!! We were told by the wardens this txt was sent in error !!!! Please do not arrive before 1pm.....the wardens were not happy on our early arrival but when we showed them our txt they realised Who was to blame !!!!!
Site easy and safe to walk into Cheddar and had a lovely meal at the Bath Arms during our stay ....looking forward to our return !!!!,....Wardens very friendly......
Clean and tidy. Wardens exceptionally friendly and helpful. Walking distance to town, with choice of pubs/cafes/supermarkets. Walkable to Cheddar Gorge. Good walking from site. Good cycling, from site. A little traffic noise, but, otherwise, surprisingly quiet.
We stayed here at the end of January. What a surprising gem of a site it is. Very quiet, with a great location and great walks and a bus stop not far.
The facilities are up to the club high standard and the wardens are very friendly and extremely helpful & seem in tune with what campers actually want (not always the case).
Can't wait to return as the gorge walk in January after weeks of rain was awful, so would po e to do it again as the views were stunning but the mud not so (although I slid down hill easily, if painfully).
Thank you to the wardens, you do a fantastic job, especially in the crappy weather we've had to keep everything up to scratch.
Had not considered this site before for some reason although we have stayed in the area. What a gem. Perfect location for town. Excellent facilities, very clean. Four showers in the ladies may be a bit tight for the busy times but spotless. The wardens, Malcolm and Jo, were ace, and then we realised we had met them before at Broadway site. Went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Excellent motorhome service point, ok it is a little awkward to get to but as it is a drive over grid you are not in the way for long when emptying and filling. We will stay again.
We stayed here at short notice and what a treat it was. There were only a handful of us over the Christmas period which was probably due to it being the first year it was open for this period, New Year was the opposite and fully booked but fortunately we left before then. We found Jo and Malcolm extremely helpful and friendly - inviting everyone in for a glass of wine and mince pie before Christmas. As others have said it's a short walk to the village, you don't have to walk on the road as there is a footpath if you turn left out of the site and go up and over the bridge. We agree with the previous comments about the Motorhome Service Point as you have to reverse back from reception to gain access to it which can be difficult if there is someone else in the queue. Apparently OH said the men's facilities were in need of upgrading but nice and clean, the Ladies are very small with only 4 showers so I wouldn't like to be there when the site is full, they were however spotlessly clean. In my opinion this isn't a site for children as there doesn't seem to be much for them in the area. Plenty of dog walks from the site. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much.
People will undoubtedly enjoy the situation on the edge of the village of Cheddar and close to the start of the gorge. For walking and sightseeing it's a great area. The site itself is functional rather than scenic. It has few features, with neither a children's playground nor a dog walk, although if you turn left along the lane by the stream you come to a large field where dogs can play. Staff are pleasant enough. Friday and Saturday nights can be very noisy from the adjacent football club.
A large Sainsbury's is just a short walk up the road and Tesco Express a little further.
