Superb site

Having read lots of other nit picking reviews, I have to counter with a full blown well-deserved five stars. Having read complaints about the site staff using their tractor to take your van to site, we found this to be a fantastic service. The van was on the pitch ready to put the steadies down in seconds. Access to the site is via a one way lane, so of no worry to most drivers, and certainly not as tight as many other sites. It's a beautifully kept site, and being reasonably small (35 pitches?), using your own vehicle to put a van on a pitch would ruin that beautiful landscaping in short order. It's incredibly peaceful, and kept spotlessly clean. The ten individual unisex toilet shower rooms are an excellent use of space and give a high availability on the site. We didn't find keeping the car in the car park in the least bit inconvenient. The site is also well placed for the whole area. Within about twenty miles, you have Bath, Bristol, Wells, Cheddar, Wookey, Weston-super-Mare and Glastonbury. We thoroughly enjoyed our week from 4th October (despite the rain) and will most definitely be back in 2021!

Nice Adult Only Site but Challenging Access and Exits

Its a well run clean and tidy site. Access to and from site is a challenge due to uncut hedges in lanes. Nice lay back country areas around. Will not be returning because of that issue otherwise really nice site. Pity? Also Covid incentive VAT reduced by Chancellor from 20 - 5% was retained by management when I questioned a refund prior to arrival? This is a private site so you pay full rates in advance 30 days before arrival.

Fantastic site. We visited on the 4th July and stayed 11 nights. The staff are friendly and kept everything clean. The grounds are well kept and there are lots of hand sanatisers doted around the site for people to use. Well worth a visit.

Not keen

Well kept site with cctv everywhere. Found it off putting to be told by two separate staff members on arrival all the rules that you have to comply with. Don’t like someone else towing Caravan to pitch - totally unnecessary. Cars not allowed on pitch and have to be left in car park. Site states it is dog friendly but we did not find that. As with most sites dog has to be on a lead at all times and there is a small dog walk. However dog has to be kept on a lead in the dog walk which is not much use to a young dog that needs to run. There is an area of woodland walk that would be ideal but dogs are not allowed in there - we never saw anyone at all in it. All in all we found this site overly regimented even by CMC standards and we will not be returning

Less of a ‘wow’ on our return visits in 2019

We have returned to the Chew affiliated site twice in 2019. We chose the site due to close proximity to Bath, as we were in the process of packing up, removals, cleaning and completing on our house sale. We had a fully serviced pitch in May and a standard pitch in June. The fully serviced pitches are ‘easy’ and you don’t need to worry about running out of water or overflowing the wastewater. The overall the site is well maintained, some of the pitches are ‘tight’ our awning has a ‘shaped’ front and we do need to request our caravan is parked ‘hard-over’ to the edging board to ensure our awning fits on the gravel pitch. This year we have a new addition of a puppy, firstly we got in trouble for parking ‘on the pitch’ when cars are only allowed to be parked on the roadway across the front of pitches for loading/unloading. This appears to be a bit of a silly rule, as you are then blocking the roadway for other arrivals and returning motorhomes. Secondly, the dog walking area is fully fenced, but the rules mean dogs must be kept on leads at all times. The dog walking area is also adjacent to a woodland walk (which dogs are not allowed in) but I have never seen anyone use the woodland walk. The individual shower rooms are starting to look ‘worn’ and need a thorough deep clean and some TLC in places. During our May stay the radiators in the shower rooms were still switched on from 7am-10pm, which made for sauna like conditions. Thankfully the radiators had been ditched off when we returned in June. During May there were more motorhomes than caravans, but a large proportion of the motorhomes had accompanying small cars. The car park does not have marked ‘bays’ and the car park shape is not square, so some of the spaces have a reducing length. There is no indication provided by reception, nor polite request, that if you have a small ‘accompanying’ car to please be considerate and park at the far end and hence leave the ‘longer’ spaces closer to reception available for larger tow cars. This resulted in us returning on at least three occasions to a ‘full’ car park at 10pm, due in a large way to inconsiderately parked smaller cars. Early one morning we did need to use the ‘out of hours’ contact as the electronic gate had failed in the ‘closed’ position. We believe due to heavy rain the power supply to the gate had been interrupted. The staff member arrived promptly after 10minutes and manually opened the gate so we could be on our way. Will we return, possibly, if we are visiting Bristol and Bath, but then maybe we will just stay with friends next time.
