Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Amazing campsite, really nice pitches, great facilities, really clean. Owners were super friendly and easy going. Loved the roaming chickens (so did our dog from afar lol) and wild rabbits. Found this site by accident but will defo go again. It's also nicely located for trips to local places like Dunster, Watchet etc. Great local pubs and shops. All in all, had a great three days, even though the weather was rubbish.

Lovely campsite

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

We stayed for 4 days. On the whole the facilities are very good. The only negative is the showers. I found that they were just not good enough and there was also a lack of a changing area which made showering then keeping your towel and clothes dry a bit of a challenge. This was fairly minor and all other facilities were really good and very well kept. Our children loved the sandpit and climbing frame in the large field.
