There are an additional six touring pitches with five of these having the same 16 amp electric hook up. All of the pitches are set on grass and are very spacious. This is a great choice for train enthusiasts looking to ride the Somerset steam railway, or anyone looking to relax amongst the calming countryside setting. You'll even share the space with, ducks, geese and chickens! Dogs are welcome onsite and there are plenty of nearby hikes and trails to take them on, just please keep them on the lead when on site. Dogs listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act are not permitted. Fire pits are not allowed but BBQs are, just make sure to raise them off the ground so that the grass doesn't get damaged.

A note from the site themselves...

In 2013, three generations of our family purchased our Grade II listed home with a vision of creating a camp site and smallholding. After extensive renovations and a lot of hard work, we have created what you see here today. We finally were able to open our camp site in 2018 and hope that our customers enjoy our home as much as we do.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring PitchesAug 2023

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.

Excellent place
