For the first time my husband and I decided to try a seasonal pitch booking, We chose the Ilminster site as we had stayed at the site on many occasions and found it a great base for visiting all the places we love.
On our arrival we unhooked the caravan and found to our dismay that the motor mover wasn't working. Within minutes one of the wardens, Mandy, asked us if there was a problem and we explained the situation, Within minutes she was back with her tractor and sited the caravan perfectly. That first action summed up our experience all summer - nothing was too much trouble for the wardens Mandy and Sue. As well as keeping the site beautiful they were always there to offer advice, offer a helping hand and share a good chat and a laugh. So, as well as choosing a great site we had also found great wardens who ensured our first fixed seasonal pitch was a real success,
From May through to September we visited and stayed several times. We walked the stunning coastal path and the Blackdown Hills, enjoyed Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and Seaton. We visited Glastonbury, Wells, Exeter, Exmouth and scores of pretty villages. On each return we came back to find our pitch beautifully maintained - Mandy would move our van to keep the grass perfectly trimmed. As well as that it was great to know that Mandy and Sue were there in our absence looking after our property and keeping it safe.
The summer of 2021 wasn't a great time for everyone when it came to having a holiday but for us it will stay in our memories as a perfect summer on a lovely site with the best landladies it was possible to have!
With grateful thanks
