Good positioned site but needs updating

We have just spend two weeks at this site and was a little bit unsure what to expect as some of the reviews we not very complimentary. We booked this as a walking holiday and the site was in an excellent position for this and we did have a really good holiday. However we have been to a lot of sites and have to say this is the one that will be at the bottom of our list for the following reasons, the shower and toilet block never felt very clean, probably because of the horrid brown tiles, the drains in one of the mens showers had what appeared to be tape holding a tile together near the drain, the toilets did not flush well, probably due to lack of water pressure and one had a broken seat. We arrived on saturday and was sent to the top of the site which is gravel and secluded by trees hence very little sunshine, however they were good enough to let us move the next morning but there are very few pitches which are not hidden by the shadow of the trees which is fine if you do not want to sit outside in the warm. The grass on our pitch was not cut until the second week we were there and had got to about 2 inches in length making it not very nice to sit out on, we did however notice that the temporary warden on site did cut the grass around his caravan and his friends who were staying opposite.

Lovely small site

We booked for 4 nights but due to changes stayed for 8 Nights. The Relief warden was extremely helpful when I phoned the site to change our dates. The pitches are quite small but we had pitch 35 which was adequate for us & able to put awning up also & the sun was on pitch up until the evening. Very close for visiting lots of beautiful villages Dunster, Porlock Wier, & Watchet are well worth a visit. Minehead a short stroll from the site has everything you need lots of places to eat & drink & all the usual seaside shops. Tesco & Morrisons are a 5 minute drive away. The local shops 5 minutes walk from site have everything you need Co Op, takeaways & post office  Shepards fish bar was excellent freshly cooked. Although the facilities are clean they really would benefit from updating. Will be back had a lovely time.

Excellent Site

This site is effectively divided into two parts. The lower part is much larger and structured, and, I suspect, slightly noisier. We chose the upper part. Only about 9 pitches around the road. It is a haven of tranquility, the only noise being the birdsong. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful & efficient, and the facilities excellent. Be aware that the upper part is at the top of the hill and the facilities at the bottom. Minehead is a typical English seaside resort with an excellent beach. It is an easy 20 minute walk into Minehead for the West Somerset Railway, the longest heritage railway in the UK. There is a Morrisions & Tesco supermarket next to the station and a large Co-op about 5 minutes walk from the site, with a couple of takeaways nearby. There is no shop on the site, although a van comes round the site at 9am daily with basic necessities. Will definitely stay there again

Pleasant site

We stayed at this site for 7 nights it was quiet & peaceful. Pitches are small -we pitched on no 5 -beware falling debris if parked here from trees above. Some of them could do with a good prune to get dead wood out. Plus be aware after 4pm there is NO sun on this pitch! Other than that enjoyed our stay. Though why motor home next to us was allowed to.park different from everyone else was beyond me as thought we all had to.park the same. Was quite intrusive for us.on whole though enjoyed stay & surrounding area & facilities was good. We agree with other reviewer DON'T go Hairy Dog a rip off!!

Winning location

The real plus is the location with shops, places to eat, walking distance to the beaches and a local bus all close by. If you choose to use the car, you are straight onto the main road giving access to the beautiful Exmoor National park and other coastal towns and villages. The pitches can be a little tight but we found ours adequate for our awning and car with the added plus of sun virtually all day. The facilities are clean but with only 3 showers sometimes under pressure. However the pluses do outweigh the lack of up to date facilities.

Third Visit

This was the third visit by myself and wife. We like this site because of its location, close enough but far enough away from the town itself. All facilities are available in the close by Alcombe village, fish and chips, chinese and indian food, pub (The Britannia tucked away). Whatever you do, do not drink at he Hairy Dog or Stones bar in The Avenue. They are owned by the same money grabbing couple charging £4.40 for a pint of Guiness and not even displaying a price list as required by law. Lovely area. Tired toilet block but clean, Wardens helpful

Dissatisfied

Upon arrival we were told we had to go on pitch 18 as the site was full. We had booked an awning pitch but the computer said non awning even though I had a printout with me! I also noted at least 10 site keys hanging on the board denoting free pitches. Walking the site also confirmed this which i also pointed out to the warden. Even so I was told I had to go on pitch 18 which is a horrid stoney pitch in the top of what only can be described as a quarry car park with no grass and no views. When I confronted the warden with these facts I was told I had to go on this pitch and as I was only here for 1 night I would manage. Several vehicles came on after us and pitched wherever they liked. This is the second time we have been allocated a pitch due to us being a small motorhome staying only one night. Maybe I should have sent my husband in to discuss this with the warden. It's not even as though we get discount for a non awning pitch! Needless to say we won't be staying here again. Also there is no email for the Caravan club you can complain to. We stay mainly on Caravan club sites and as a rule are totally happy with the service we have had having been a member for over 14 years.

Shame and Disappointed

Very warm welcome by the Warden.  However next day told off in a gruff manner how we had parked our car.  Please note we followed Club standard pitching rules, hence my next remark, the pitched sold as with awnings are to small, feel robbed nowhere to park car couldn't BBQ, glad to leave. We could practically touch our nextdoor Neighbour. The facilities are dated but very clean but on one occasion shared my shower with two beetles, a spider and on leaving a roach.  Going back NO!

Great peaceful site

Stayed at this site for a 3 night stay during the late May bank holiday. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the grounds are beautifully kept. The site is within a very old quarry and as such a perfect sun trap with little wind. The weather was hot during our stay. The walk into Minehead took only 20 mins but is very worth it once you get into the town and sea front. Plenty of alfresco restaurants to have those cream teas. Local shops and restaurants only 5 minute walk away. Looking to return again very soon.

Small But Perfectly Formed

A cosy site split into small terraces cut into the hillside.  The best part is the location, just on the edge of Minehead yet with very little noise from traffic or the town. As others have said, it's around 15 minutes quiet walk to the shops, seafront and steam railway with the benefit of a good Coop and some takeaways less than five minutes from the entrance. Some great footpaths too to Dunster and beyond. Excellent friendly wardens with a great sense of humour round off the whole package.
