My wife and I have just spent a very pleasant 28 day stay on this site. Although it is next to the road it is extremely quiet and we did not find traffic a disturbance.
The site was extremely clean as were the facilities.
The proximity of the site to Minehead makes it perfect for motor caravans as the town and supermarket shopping are only a short walk away.
We did have two problems however.
The first was that the showers were not hot enough until our last day, when Gary, the relief warden, sorted them out.
The second problem was the chemical emptying point. The valve fitted to the tap which prevents back feeding of foul water into the system via the washdown hose is obviously not working properly as water is being ejected from it all the time when in use and it made the experience of daily cassette emptying a real drag as shoes and trousers were always wet. I have been in touch directly with the club with regard to this and hopefully it will be sorted out.
The site only has one chemical emptying point which makes it a long way away from the furthest pitches but the warren told us that the club is proposing to install a second point.
February 2023
We have just returned from a six night stay. The weather was very kind, which is always a bonusđŸ˜€
A quiet site within east walking distance of the town centre.
Things to consider:
It is in an old quarry, although well disguised with greenery.
It is on several levels with the shower and toilet facilities on the lowest of these.
There are no play areas.
The top level is very shady in February! We didn’t get any sunshine during a sunny week.
This is an ideal winter site for us, plenty of walks and shops, etc. close by.
The icing on the cake was the friendly welcome from the very helpful staff. We will return!!
We have just returned from a five night stay at this lovely caravan site. The wardens were very welcoming and, with their help, we managed to find a nice pitch further from the road, but still near to all the facilities. This was our first time going away in the caravan at this time of year, and our first to a town site. We were not disappointed. The access to all shops, cafe's, etc. was perfect and we loved being able to walk to the seafront and explore it without the summer crowds. One of the highlights was being able to get straight onto the A39, which was not too noisy or busy at this time of year, and head either west or east to explore the beauty of Exmoor, Dunster, the Quantock Hills, to name but a few. The highlight was in feeling the welcome for our dog, who loved the specified dog walk area, which had fresh sawdust spread on much of the pathway which winds its way through a wooded area near the entrance to the site. It was lovely for him to explore something more mentally stimulating than just a patch of grass. Thank you for the effort that has clearly gone into that particular feature.
Have stayed on this site in January and February this year with our two small dogs.Great winter stays with every thing needed close by in the town. Prefer Minehead in the winter months when it is quieter .Very pleasant Wardens who are friendly and do an excellent job. The site is kept very well and the toilet block beautifully warm and immaculately clean.
There is much to do and see within the local area . Exmoor is spectacular and although we have been many times there is always a new walk to find or a beautiful village to discover . Plenty of lovely pubs and cafes , many dog friendly on the moor.This time we walked the snowdrop valley trail and also walked from Dunster beach to blue Anchor.
One of our favourite sites, close to so many things to do Exmoor, Coastpath, Dunster, Minehead one of our favourite areas! The site is well positioned just outside town but near Coop & some good takeaways. There is some road noise at peak times but nothing too much. Decent dog walk which could go with trimming back of brambles and overhead branches in places. Facilities are dated, shower block quite small, always clean but could be more modern. Chemical toilet disposal - there only one - needs wellies as the adjacent tap showers water all over you, needs attention. It was very wet when we were there & some of the Drinking water & grey waste water areas were awash - could be better. I hate the non existent recycling- sign says recycled at source, well the source is the site so that's incorrect & I doubt recycling is done to the standard we expect these days! Disappointing from C&MHC. So some negatives, I hope considered as things they could be improved upon but over a convenient, well run & enjoyable place to stay!
Stayed 13/12 great little site close to beach , chip shop about a 10min stroll with coop the same distance.toilets and showers clean and warm lovely site we will return the only very small negative it could do with some extra lights walking back from the toilets
We stayed Dec 9-11 we had a great stay walked to Dunster for the Christmas fair and wonder around a lovely village also into Minehead for a little shopping a a few drinks
The site is as usual for a club site immaculate clean and shower rooms warm always a plus
The wardens were friendly and helpful especially on Sunday when our camper would not start they could not do enough for us and whilst we waited for recovery told us to hook back up to keep warm , they were away cleaning when we got started so could not thank them at the time, your friendliness & patience was much appreciated on a cold dank morning we have stayed here 3 times summer and winter it’s always great and we will be back
Thank you
We stayed here in August over the Bank Holiday weekend and were pleasantly surprised at how peaceful the site was. Friendly welcome on arrival, immaculate facilities and spacious pitches. We didn't walk into town but it was an easy 5 minute cycle to the beach. Minehead itself is bustling with old cottages by the harbour, with a fabulous main shopping street and a beautiful old town area on North Hill. There are lots of places to visit nearby and a little further afield. We managed to visit Dunkery Beacon, Porlock Weir, Lynmouth, Valley of Rocks and Tarr Steps, as well as spending time wandering around Minehead itself. The scenery in Exmoor is beautiful and there were plenty more places to visit so we've booked to go back next year!
Just had another very enjoyable few days at the site,second time this year.
As is the norm everything to a very high standard.This time the weather was not quite so good.As usual Sam and Zoe were performing to their usual high standards.
Looking forward to next year.
