Enjoyable stay. Great base for Exmoor & Quantocks walks.

I enjoyed my 5-day stay here in April. I’d not been able to book a spot on any of the local CL's, so had to revert to the main CC site, but this actually turned out to be the CHEAPER option, so represents very good value. Site is in an old Quarry - looks nice enough, though the views of Minehead & the coast are mostly obscured by trees. I found the pitches were quite narrow, with only just enough width for my small outfit of car, van and porch awning. These narrow pitches caused many folk to have to peg their awnings well outside the designated pitch area. Also, the layer of gravel/hardcore laid over the bedrock seemed to be a little thin on my pitch, so standard 'rock pegs' were often too long - even managed to bend two of them beyond repair. Shall have to buy some that are only about 15 cm (6 inches) long. Site was clean, tidy, well maintained, helpful relief wardens and reasonably quiet ( . . .the site, not the wardens). There are two large supermarkets within 10 minutes drive and a row of smaller ‘village’ shops within walking distance. If you need spares/equipment for your van try P&B Motor sports, the Avenue, Minehead, before you go further afield, he had quite a good selection. This proved to be an excellent base for walking/cycling in the Exmoor and Quantock Hills; fabulous views & wonderful woodlands, a real treat. The geology of the coastline is also v. interesting and worth exploring. And there’s a lot to occupy non-walking time, such as the local museums & visitor centres. Especially recommend the museum and harbour at Watchet for ‘industrial history’. Will definitely be returning in the Autumn, and booking straight onto the CC site.
