Hi Guys,  We are going to Cornwall in July and looking for a stop over for a couple of nights.  Approx 30 miles south of Bristol is our halfway point. Ideally somewhere quiet, tranquil and dog friendly (with good dog walks). We don't mind club site, CL or commercial but must have EHU and be reasonably close to the M5. A village or pub nearby would be good. Any recommendations?

I can't recommend a specific place but there are quite a few around the Highbridge and Bason Bridge area, Dutch Court  looks nice and it's very flat around there so you should be able to get there easily even if there are some narrow lanes. You'll be away from the M5 but not too far and some good country walks, probably not near a pub so not spot on for your request. Hope you find somewhere! smile

(We live further south but normally drive through this area quite often.)

UKCampsite.co.uk has lots in the area on their map search - I glanced through them and Myrtle Farm at Banwell caught my eye. It has the right credentials and reviews but I don't know it personally.

Is Taunton too far south? Have a look at Cornish Farm, friends (with dogs) have stayed and liked it, we haven't been ourselves. Not sure if they have a minimum stay requirement in July. smile

Edit - reviews on tripadvisor say 10 minutes from J25 and all look very positive. 👍

We have stayed at Cornish Farm a couple of times and I would agree that it would be a convenient stopover. However I am not sure it meets some of your other requirements, especially as you have a motorhome as I am sure you wouldn't want to take that into Taunton? You could walk but it is a good 2 miles or of course a taxi. Not sure about dogs, there is a large field next to the site but last time we were there it was full of cows! Best to check direct with the campsite.

Or....Hurn Lane Club site. That area is awash with all types of sites.

Where did you stop last year? Is that feasible again?

Hi TW,

Last year we did it in one almighty drive. We were booked in on the 1st day that you could travel and we had a 9am check in slot at the site so left home at 2am and drove through the night.

Will have a look at Hurn Lane thanks

What area are you travelling from FB? We do a slightly different route to SW, heading as we do from East of Midlands. We usually pick up M5 at Tewkesbury, or occasionally do M4/M5, which gives us lots of overnight options. Obviously, if you over West, then not of any use to you.

We have previously stayed at Mulberry House CL at Highbridge. Fine for an one night stay as ideally situated for the M5. Highbridge caravans is close by and is worthy of a visit.

It’s probably 3 hours-ish to Godrevy from there but, as I said, there are loads of other sites in the area.

Don't forget Cadeside at Wellington as well. It’s almost next door to Chelston Motorhomes.

I think Cadeside is a good stop over if you want pubs and shops nearby, a bit further on too so it gives you a good start if the July holiday traffic is busy.
