A beautiful location with a quiet and grassy field overlooking a meadow, with a very pretty view and entertaining chickens. The pitches are well spaced on the grass and it was an easy walk into Cheddar village. The owners were friendly and helpful and the Toilets are portaloos but they were clean. We would recommend and will come again.

Great little site located behind the owners house. She breeds poultry, not a problem for us, the the constant cockerel calls may be for some. Large open grass pitches, with slight ridges and furrows, so finding an exact flat spot could be tricky. Shower is a large hut with a gas fired shower, over a large tray with a curtain. Plenty of room for family showers. Toilets were off the porta-loo variety, but all clean and tidy. The owner was very pleasant and greeted us upon arrival. Informed us of the facilities and local amenities. Can recommend the Chef and Brewer pub back towards Taunton. The site is walking distance to the Somerset railway which takes you all the way to Minehead. Great for a day out, and beautiful scenery along the way. There's a tap brewery next door to the railway also, but not much else. Footpath right from the entrance to the site, and a small woodland we were told we could go into, but no paths. Getting into the site was fine but a little tight getting out with our 8mt twin axle.
Small, quiet site

Small quiet site. Within easy walking distance of the village, and the West Somerset Railway, which you can catch to Minehead with approximately 26 miles of track. Will be back to partake in a journey. A lovely quiet site, just what is needed after driving. Within very easy walking distance of the village, which has at least 2 licensed establishments and a mill and of course, the West Somerset Railway (steam). Dog friendly too. The owner breeds chickens and has several bunches and some roam free, where they enjoy a relaxed life until sold. Only a one night stay, but we will be back for a longer stay to enjoy the peaceful area. Tony, Marie and Bronco the pooch.

Very quiet site, just what we wanted. When I said quiet, it was, apart from the geese that would break into song on occasions, but this was brilliant to hear and watch! Well kept site and flat. The toilets, as others mentioned, are porta-loos. As festival goers, we are used to using these, some campers didn't. There is a shower but didn't use. Very good two night stay.

It is a lovely campsite, very peaceful and pretty. Owner was lovely and enjoyed the geese. One shower which was very nice. The toilets were cleaned daily but were portaloos and not nice. Would recommend the site, especially if you have your own toilet facilities.

Small field site with basic amenities, one shower and a row of portaloos. However, was fully aware of this as clearly marked on website and didn't require as had own in caravan. Lots of geese and cockerels in plot next to field. Ideal short weekend break👍👍

Great little site - chilled and relaxing. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Site was nicely kept and the poultry made it feel like a real countryside experience. The location is good, inland but only half an hour to a beach if that's your thing. Dog friendly, basic shower block and portaloos which is fine for a camping holiday. If you're after a busy action-packed holiday it's probably not for you, but if you're looking for a tranquil getaway it's perfect.
Idyllic site, superb host

Lovely site tucked away in a peaceful haven. The house and yard are pristine with plenty of animals around who all seem very friendly, I'd imagine kids would love this site too! The host is a wonderful lady, very welcoming and doesn't mind a friendly chat if you wish and her son is a great chap. Very friendly people, take you as they find you. It's a hidden gem!

It's the first time we have stayed here and we really enjoyed it. We received a warm welcome on arrival and as we had chosen a non-electric pitch we were told we could park we ever we wanted. The site is spacious and tidy. There are the usual facilities for emptying your chemical toilet and grey water and obviously a tap for drinking water. There is also a row of portaloos, although we never used them. It is a small holding so there are geese chickens and a cockerel but the cockerel slept in later than we did so at least it never woke us up. It's a short walk to the village and a shorter walk to the Quantock brewery and tap room. It is a basic site but it is peaceful and quiet and it was a good price plus £2 for the dog. We will definitely be going back there.

Loved this site, a proper campsite on a small holding with chicken and geese who were surprisingly quiet. Lovely host and such a relaxing spot. We have family nearby so will be visiting again. The site doesn't have a shower but that didn't matter as we are self sufficient and to be honest, for 2 nights it's fine. Plenty of things to see and do, including steam trains, brewery and dog walks.

Very friendly and helpful staff, obviously a family run site and it showed in the warm welcome. Lovely, quiet and easy to find location but within easy reach of local attractions. All in all a very enjoyable weekend and we will be using this site again.

Had the place to myself at the end of April. Helped me out of a tight spot while I was having major repairs done to my bike. Lovely owner living the good life (literally), with a campsite attached, great spot, recommended.

Great little campsite, very welcoming and always smiling 😊. Been here on 2 occasions and will definitely return. Quiet and what services are there are clean and adequate. Near to village, for groceries, pubs, fuel station, tea room and lovely little train station where you can get on a steam train. Thank you.
Very friendly welcome

The lady that met us on arrival was extremely friendly, explained where everything was. Let us know of what was in and around the area. Nice small farm birds around and we managed to buy some delicious eggs, thank you.

This is a very affordable campsite in a very picturesque setting. Very close to all Bishops Lydeard's amenities (pubs, brewery, West Somerset Railway). Had a nice time, very peaceful. Just be aware that there is no shower block, just onsite portaloos.
Great stay!
