Really good site

This is a marvellous site with lots to see and explore nearby. Dulverton is also a nice place to wander around. The Anchor Inn is a pleasant 5 minute walk away and sells good food at a reasonable price. On arrival, I paid by vouchers and credit card for the remaining balance, so was a little surprised two days later (with only 72 pence cash in my pocket) when I couldn't buy 2 ice creams using my credit card - apparently only cash is accepted for such items!!!!!!!

Fairly remote, narrow roads

Booked 4 nights in May as a stop over from Hillhead. Nice quite site, well kept and friendly staff. Very good dog exercise field. Lovely short walk past lakes to the pub which does excellent take away meals. Unfortunately due to the awful weather the walk to Dulverton was a no go. Would recommend motorhomers taking a small car for ease of access getting around to other places as the approach road, A396, very narrow with some nasty potholes.

NIce site, sort out potholes

Well positioned site for Exmoor and Minehead. Recommend a visit to Castle Hill gardens at Filleigh, east of Barnstable. Lovely clean toilet block, as were all facilities. Road noise is intrusive during rush hours. The pot holes need sorting out by the local authority, at the site entrance. Wardens are smashing and always busy. Road noise would put us off returning soon, Exmoor house a lot quieter site.

Lovely site, good for small dogs

This is a great site. Very tidy and well laid out. We picked it mainly because of the secure fenced dog area so that we could exercise our dog off lead. However we were slightly disappointed as the fence was only 3ft high (2ft in places) and our dog easily jumped it to chase a rabbit. (Loads of rabbits everywhere!) This was next to a deep river on one side and a busy road on the other. It could have ended badly. Luckily we got him back safely but felt we couldn’t risk letting him off lead again. Please be warned if you have a large dog who chases anything. Higher fencing would be brilliant and we would go back if this was installed. A bigger shop with more choice would be good too.

Disappointed this year

We have been staying at this site for many years visiting frequently. It was one of our favourite sites with large grass pitches and great views. However, for some reason this year the pegs marking the grass pitches have been moved from the hedges up to 6 metres towards the roads so that caravans are backing in to the peg, as required by the club. This means that the site feels overcrowded and has lost some of it's charm. Not sure why this has been done but I hope that next time we visit common sense will prevail.

Excellent site and wardens

We arrived on the first day of reopening in 2021 and it was nice to know which pitch we had pre-booked (a one off offer following the easing of lockdown). The wardens were very friendly and we were allowed to place the caravan front in, in order to be able to benefit from the lovely views from the serviced pitches - not all pitches have such lovely views. The dog walking area was excellent - large secure area with plenty of ball throwing in what is essentially a field. The site is ideally placed to explore Exmoor although the pot holes on entry from the main road need to be navigated around. A trip to Wimbleball lake is a must as is the local Anchor Inn lovely food although the service was a little slow. We had to ask for the bill three times but we were advised that this was down to being reopening week and they were not sure how many people would visit and more staff were starting the following week. This was a secure site and our daughter met some children of her own age and we were happy to allow her to play away from the pitch during our stay. The only drawback was that not al guests followed the Covid precautions by not using the bands to indicate that the facilities were being used. Appreciate that this is not down to the club but the members - come on everyone otherwise the facilities may be forced to close

Wonderful Site

This was our 4th visit to the site when we stayed for 8 days in October. Booking in was quick, and the welcome was friendly. Available pitches were highlighted on the plan, and Covid measures explained clearly. The majority of grass pitches were closed during our visit. After a busy summer and a lot of wet weather, most were water logged and well worn, so this was a good decision from the wardens. There were only a few hardstanding pitches to choose from as the site was busy, but they are all a good size and flat, so this wasn't a problem. The facilities are excellent, and were cleaned twice a day. As on most other sites, the wristband system worked faultlessly. The site is adjacent to the main road, so some vehicle noise was obvious during the day, but the road was very quiet at night. Lots of places to visit within an hours drive. We went to Putsborough Sands, Hunters Inn and Dunster. I would recommend a walk around Wibleball Lake (9 miles) and better still, Clatworthy Reservoir which was stunning on a gorgeous autumn day. Its a 5 mile walk, but you won't be able to take the dog. Thank you for a graet stay. We will be back!

Exmoor Magic

Our recent 6 night stay at Exebridge ( Oct 202) was a delight. The site is so well located to enable Exmoor to be enjoyed with stunning walks and cycle rides. We made the most of good weather and we’re out and about everyday. It was so lovely to return each afternoon to superb facilities ( even a bike washing hose and gravel area to do this), wonderfully clean shower facilities and an abundance of hot water. The whole site was immaculate ( and Covid-19 secure) and the wardens always available for any assistance or help needed. We stayed on both a standard and serviced pitch, both of which were nicely private, very flat and all we needed. We look forward to staying here again though shall be disappointed that the wonderful wardens will have then retired.

We love this site but..........

We stayed at Exebridge Lakeside for 10 nights in September. We have been there many times before during peak school holiday times but never seen it so busy but we appreciate that this is down to Covid. The wardens were very welcoming, helpful and friendly but clearly one set of wardens is not enough for a site of this size. There used to be 2 sets of wardens up until a couple of years ago. The maintenance of the beautiful grounds was not up to scratch. The bushes were too high and blocking the view, our grass was not cut properly and the place felt a little overgrown. The main toilets were always clean and there were no queues for showers but many people were using onboard facilities due to Covid 19. However, one time when I needed to use the service toilet it was in such a disgusting state I had to walk away and wait until the main block was open. The other thing to mention is that we noticed several seasonal pitches that were in prime locations on hard standings. We had a job to get booked in and although we arrived shortly after 12 we got the very last hard standing pitch. We have never had a problem getting a hard standing pitch at Exebridge before. This site is our favourite and we hope you find our comments helpful.

Exceeded all expectations

We stayed at this site by default but so pleased we did. Very generous sized hardstanding pitches. The facilities were immaculate and well maintained. Great access to Exmoor and a local pub. It was the small touches such as being able to help yourself to herbs and friendly staff that made our stay. Covid measures very well planned and implemented. Can't wait to return.
