Arrived with guests for their second visit to a CC site(first one to Ferry Meadows two weeks ago). I'm sorry to say that they weren't very impressed. The general look of the site gave the impression that it was a bit run down, especially when the grass was higher than the flower boxes at the entrance, must admit that it was also long in quite a few places, couple this with the fact that the bins at the water point were overflowing for all of Friday afternoon and most of Saturday (another member told us they were emptied in the afternoon), then I can see what my guests meant. Having said that, the location of the site was very handy with a short walk into Minehead, a Co-op just a short stroll up the road open all day every day. The Britannia Pub just past the Co-op and along the next right hand road is dog friendly and serves very good food and beers. Dunster castle is a short walk away. The west Somerset Railway is worth a visit especially as you can get a discount of buy one get one half price with your great days out voucher (dogs £2). We would come again as three days wasn't quite long enough to do all we wanted. Did not use the bus service, but was told that it was good.

It was our first long trip away with the caravan and so wasn't sure about timings. We rang the site saying we would be early and were told 11am would be ok. We arrived at 10am so parked up in the lay by opposite the entrance and started organising the interior of the van. Peter the site warden came over and asked if we was ok and wondered if we need a jack for a flat tyre. When I explained we've booked but early they let us on the site. We was allowed to pick any of the vacant pitches and we had a wonderful few days. Just to to say Peter and Eileen are the the most friendliest people I have ever met and nothing was too much trouble. We bought a local map out of the office and they advised us on where to walk and cycle. We will definitely be back and it is so easy to get to the town Gary & Maggie.

Very friendly welcome. Facilities as described below - a bit tired but clean and plenty of hot water. Daily van visits with newspapers, bread and milk. Dog walk excellent with wild primroses and a viewpoint out over Minehead and the bay. Walked into Minehead and sampled a couple of places sitting outside in the sunshine: tea and cake at Park Lane - very good value and water for the dogs too - and, further down, coffee and bacon sarnies at the black and white restaurant beginning with a W, but whose name escapes me, which was also very good. (Proprietor is an ex motorhomer). Worth walking along the front to the old harbour. Very pleasant lunch outside at The Ship Aground though I think they may take dogs inside too.
