Family stay Spring Half Term
Uplands Cottages
Lovely location very peaceful, loads of room caravans or motorhomes. Swimming pool was great for adults and children on a hot bank holiday. Games room was also a extra treat. We had 2 caravans with 3 generations and 2 dogs great for everyone.
Great location for visiting Weston, Burnham area. Toilets and showers are a little walk. Will stay again.
Great location for local attractions
Uplands Cottages
Slightly confused on arrival when there were already 6 units on the field, ours making it 7! Thought Cl sites had a limit of 5?
Had to pitch on the left side which is better as it’s more level, but our electric lead didn’t reach to the other side where there are 10 EHU sockets, but after calling the office, the guy lent us an extension lead which was good.
Water tap is hard to get to if you have a motorhome, tucked away in a hedged area on the way in through the gate and it was very wet in the area, dark and slippery.
It’s a peaceful and relaxing site, surrounded by a row of trees/ hedges so no view, but still nice.
The swimming pool looked nice, but the area could have been a little cleaner and the shower and toilet block really did need a deep clean and the amount of cobwebs everywhere made me think it doesn’t even get a wipe down very often!
Location is good as a short walk either way down the strawberry line there are nice coffee shops and pubs.
The site has potential to be brilliant, but personally we thought the site was a bit tired and needed some tlc. However this is a nice site and we had a nice stay.
Charming and laid back
Uplands Cottages
This CL is perfect for a relaxed and laid-back break in Somerset.
It is exactly as described on this website, and you have easy access to the strawberry line trail which is good for bikes and walking. The atmosphere is really laid-back and you just pick your space in the field next to your chosen EHU and enjoy your holiday until James comes to see you. The current washroom and shower facilities are a little walk away from the site next to the lovely swimming pool which is heated, outdoor.wi fi is great ( hotspot)
We cant wait to go again
Excellent site
Uplands Cottages
Booked this site well in advance as thought it might be busy. Lovely site, toilets and showers a bit far for me to walk to as they’re by the pool but James said I could take my car up there. They are putting in showers and toilets down by the cl so that will make a huge difference. Very peaceful , pool is lovely, didn’t use the games room. Quite a late check in time but an absolute gem of a site.. Have already rebooked for a couple of months time.

Great site for access to the Strawberry line cycle way
Uplands Cottages
We stay here predominantly because of its location to the Strawberry line cycle way.
The site is spotless, lawns well kept. There is a slight slope downwards so you may need to fully extend your jockey wheel, there are extra blocks if needed.
There is an on-site swimming pool, that is supposed to be heated, when we was there is was far to cold to swim in, but was still nice to sit round the pool.
it is very quiet with woodland walk from the site one way, and for cycling, come out of the site, turn right, along the lane, cross the road, and then you are at the cycle way, you can then go left to Yatton, or right.
The CL is tree-lined so not much of a view, but would be great if a little windy as you will be sheltered.
Will defiantly stay here again.
