wonderful week in july

This is a well located site, within walking distance to Minehead, about 10-15 mins. Also just up the road are local shops, co-op, bakery, fish and chip shop. Also good place to go out from to visit nearby attractions. Dunster is a lovely town and just a short drive away. Dog friendly beach just a walk down the prom to the golf club. Wardens are excellent and work very hard to keep the site looking good. A very enjoyable week in July and to make it even better the weather was glorious.

First visit to Minehead

This was our first visit to the Minehead site. The site is well located within easy walking distance of the centre of Minehead following the instructions given by the warden. If you want to venture further afield then the bus service is good running at half hourly interval during the weekdays and obviously less frequent on the weekend. If you have a dog there is an on site dog walk not the largest but more than adequate for the first and last ablutions of the day. If you want to go to the beach with your 🐕 dog the you will be out of luck from the 1st May until September. I believe that the beach at Blue Anchor is dog friendly but you will either need your car or have to take the motorhome. The centre of Minehead still has a variety of shops including their fair share of charity ones. Satellite TV reception is a possibility providing you are on a suitable pitch avoiding the 🌲 trees. Despite the nearness to a main road there was very little noise at night. Not ideal for young family members as there are no facilities on site for letting off steam. The route from the M5 with a larger unit can be a little"hairy" at times as the road in parts is narrow, I unfortunately meet a 32 tonner and had to get within touching distance of the hedgerow and left it to the driver of the lorry to squeeze through. There are also a few unforgiving walls!! All in all, just take your time. The facilities are up to the usual club standard.

Second time we have been to the site

The site was very clean and tidy. The staff were very helpful and could not do enough. Watch out for ticks if you are a dog owner

Our first site and a good experience

Newbie here so no context to this review at all. That said we found the site easily. The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities were all clean and well laid out. The only tiny hiccup we had was partly my inexperience. The pitch was on enough of a slope to need chocks under the front wheels to level us up. The pitch was gravelled and my van has an automatic gear box. A certain amount of gravel got moved around in my attempts to get onto the chocks. I'm sure I'd find it easier next time but I've used the chocks on other surfaces without problems so though it worth a mention. I did try to clear up after myself and I apologise if I left any gravel where it shouldn't be! : ) Tim

Good clean site in a convenient location

We stayed here just on the tail end of the first Beast from the East. The site manager kept us informed of the snow conditions on site, and even undertook to ring us an hour before we set out from home, to give us a report on the latest snow conditions on site. When we arrived we were given time to select our pitch, and the check in process was quick and easy. The site and toilet / shower block were immaculate, and the later was nice and warm. The site is well located for walking to Tesco, Morrisons and LIDL. Also Indian restaurant and chip chop and CO-OP are a few minutes walk away. The main shopping area, and esplanade were walkable within 15-20 minutes walk. Bus stops for other places along the coast were within 10 minutes walk. There is a steam railway, with a station in Minehead. We walked along the coast to Dunster Castle and back and Dunster village is pretty with quaint buildings and cafes. Another day we caught the bus to Porlock, and walked down to Porlock Weir through the woods, about 2 miles, where we found a delightful pub, The Bottom Ship Inn, full of character, with a thatched roof, and bustling with customers even at midday on Thursday. On another day we caught the bus to Watchet, a pretty harbour and village, and enjoyed a lovely cream tea. On Saturday we did the Minehead Parkrun, 5k along the esplanade, with 90 other keen joggers. All in all we had a great time, and will definately be returning soon

Small is good!

Our first visit to this site - small but very pleasant and well maintained! The Minehead Steam Railway is a must to visit. Plan your day to visit as many stations you can within the timetable permutations. Watchet is definitely a place to call in for a visit, and also Bishops Lydeard village if you wait for the next train!!!! If you like National Trust places, then Dunster Castle is also worthwhile - combine it with the village of Dunster for the best experience!

Minehhead Caravan site

Very good site for visiting Minehead and surrounding areas. Site wardens helpful and informative about the area. Site has a quick turnover.. No level access too facilities. Pitches appeared to be smaller than normal as had difficulty parking car on pitch with only a porch awning.

Perfect retreat within easy walking distance of town and attractions.

I visited this site with my family, during the middle of February. The site was spotlessly clean, with wonderfully warm shower blocks. We could not fault anything about the site or the staff. We were given easy to follow directions to the town, and were even advised that our second day, would be our last opportunity to travel on the famous Steam Railway, which was only open for half term. Fortunately, we managed to so do, and it was worth every penny to take a trip back in time. Minehead is a lovely small town with a variety of shops and cafe’s to keep you occupied. Slightly further afield is the village of Dunster, complete with castle. Both are well worth a visit. Taking to the car, it is an easy drive along the coast and up onto Exmoor which is as beautiful as any in the UK, in my opinion. We had a fantastic family holiday, out of season, and can not recommend highly enough, the site, staff, location and diverse range of beaches, buildings, towns an villages within easy reach. We will certainly be returning.

First class site, open all year.

We weren't particularly keen on going the Minehead site but as it was winter, we didn't have many options if we wanted to go away. How glad we were that we went! Everything about the site was first rate; its position from the town, its cleanliness, the friendliness of the wardens, Helen and Tony and even the weather wasn't too bad. Our previous experience of Minehead wasn't too good but this time we really liked the town and as for the walks in the area - they were marvellous. We'll definitely be back in the autumn. Many thanks.
