Pod - Hedgehog Camping PodAug 2023

Me and my son had an amazing stay in the Hedgehog Pod. It didn't disappoint in anyway, and it as even better than the pictures portray. The facilities were excellent, and the welcome was warm and accommodating. The location was fantastic and everything was within easy reach. The site was safe for my son to play on with lots of room to explore. I would highly recommend anyone staying here and we will certainly be coming back in the future. Can't recommend this enough.

Shepherd's Hut - The Hideaway Shepherd's HutAug 2023

We didn't know what to expect when we arrived but it was absolutely beautiful. Me, my partner and 2 children stayed in the shepherd's hut. You had your own little area with a BBQ and a fire pit with a seating area. The hut itself was a good size and had cooking facilities. The facilities of the camp were spotless, you had your own toilet which we loved and a wild shower behind us which was so cool! You are 30 minutes from Minehead beach and there's a wonderful cafe called 'The Rocking Horse' which has the best milkshakes! Jane recommended us this cafe as it had a pond full of carp fish which one of our boys love after talking about fish with Jane, one of the owners and seeing them in the camps pond. Jane really listened to what they enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Pod - Hedgehog Camping PodAug 2023

The place was great, the pod was too small. I have been in a pod before and it was bigger, and had bedding for half the price. Love the campsite.
