Lovely site

A beautiful non-electric site. We missed the farm entrance the first time as there is no farm name at the end of the long uneven farm lane just the Club sign. The narrow bridge didn't bother us (once we'd pursuaded the ducks to move!) but might worry some people. We did wonder what the CMHC Inspector thought of the bridge as well as the rather suspect sewerage arrangements and lack of clear signage for the drinking water etc. We enjoyed walking and cycling from the site into Washford and Watchet and watching the steam trains which are just the other side of the hedge and pass by every hour.

peaceful isolation

This was our second choice of a site in this area and we were very glad the first site was full. Quite a rough track down to the site, but a slow speeds was not a problem. Although we said it was peaceful, we did enjoy the steam and old diesel trains that run past the site, and also the two footpaths near by were perfect to walk in this very rural and pretty area. Plenty of room, perfect dawns and sunsets, and a pleasure to watch the swallows insect hunting across the site. If there is any criticism of this site it is that the waste disposal must be better. A large manhole opening can be a worry. A lid with an old WC fitted to a cover and cistern to flush as we have seen on other sites would be the only improvement to make this place perfect. We will visit again and pack a safety harness!

Lovely

Went here for the first time last week. Nice secluded site. But tricky over the bridge if you have a large rig I would imagine as it kinks a bit. Not something that should put you off. We will be back

Easy going visit

We have just spent two nights at Kentsford Farm CL and can say that this CL is well worth a visit. The post code quoted in the Club book will lead you to the site, the private approach lane is a slightly sloping, straight single track lane to the farm and is about half a mile long with a few passing places along the way. Final access to the site is over a short concrete bridge which is easy to cross just watch out for the ducks ! the site is flat open and large enough to provide plenty of space between caravans, the site is well kept and has all grass pitches. TV reception was not to great so if you have a SAT dish this would be worth while taking this along if your into TV, the weather was kind for us during the visit so the lack of the TV did not bother us. Mobile phones worked, O2 (Tesco) and Vodafone, we were able to get 3G using O2. The waste water & chemical disposal is easy to access and there is no need to do any lifting of the grey water container, just watch out that you do not fall into the drain !  the manhole cover has been removed from the drain and the hole is four or five feet deep. The CL site is just next to the old mineral line which is now a foot path from Watchet to Washford and runs next to the West Somerset Railway, walking to Watchet takes about twenty minutes and is about the same if heading to Washford. We thought about walking to Watchet and catching the train to Washford and then walking back to the CL but never got around to it this time, so next time maybe.

Gem of a site

A beautiful site, with lots of good walking directly from it. The owners leave you alone, so you do need to seek them out or leave the money at the house in order to pay. There have been some issues with dogs attacking the many ducks, so it is  important to keep dogs on a lead while at the farm but there is plenty of walking where it is not necessary. There is a great cider and ale bar called Pebbles in Watchet!!

lovely peaceful site

We had a very warm welcome from the owners the site is large and  reasonably flat. The foot pathi from the site is a easy walk to Watcher or Washford, with the added bonus of the steam train passing by. Great site for relaxing or for exploring nearby towns.

peaceful weekends

we have now been to this site twice and have had two lovely peaceful and have really chilled out weekends. its lovely to sit out side and wave to the stream trains as they pass by. there is a pleasant walk from the farm along the track into Watchet a small stream. the only downer is the long track and the tight bridge to cross as you enter the field but don't let this put you off...will be going back again...

Back again several times

We go to this site often. The access drive is long and bumpy so go slow, after you cross a bridge you turn left into the field. The ford can get deep so use the bridge. Peace and quiet with the babbling mill stream running along one side. On the other side is a lovely path into Watchet or Washford. The path forms the route of the old mineral line. Beyond that is the track of the West Somerset Railway which runs regular services of steam and diesel trains. Today we were visited by a family of ducks. There is good re-cycling on the site, several apple trees and lots of space. We just love this site and spend many weekends there. In fact we have just got home from the site an hour ago and already thinking when we can be back again. If you can't find anyone at the farm house to pay, put it in an envelope, perhaps with a thank you card too and pop it in the letter box on the front door.

Lovely site

We live in Minehead and this site is only about 8 miles from home. We love it because there is the West Somerset Railway on one side, a mill stream on the other and a foot path which is the old Mineral line to Washford and Watchet. The access track is quite bumpy so you will need to take it very slow and the track is long. You cross the mill stream by a bridge with a wall on one side but not on the other. A great little site which we love.
