One of the best

One of our favourite sites anywhere. Spacious, quiet, easy access, and good value. Fast free wi-fi with good coverage, 4G signals strong on Vodafone, O2, and EE, but only 3G on '3'. Strong TV and DAB signals but unfortunately FM is weak. Site has free use wet room and useful info shed but at the time or writing (July 2020) they are unavailable due to Coronovirus rules. The resident site owner, Clive Vincent, is a genial host to whom nothing is too much trouble. Good base for Frome - a very pleasant small town - and NT Stourhead, and farther afield is Bath, Devizes, Swindon, Shaftesbury and Salisbury each with their own attractions. Highly recommended.

Just the job!

What a fabulous little site. This was my second visit (both for just one night but really would like to stay longer) It is very near to where I work so ideal for a weekend escape direct from work. I now prefer the CL’s for peace and quietness so it is a bonus to find one with a shower and toilet. Although basic in a small hut at the end of the site it is perfectly clean and adequate. The owner has thought of everything including a chair and ‘nice’ soap in the shower/wet room. The shower was hot and there is even heater in the the room, The pitches are all reasonably level and are fully serviced with electric hook up and a water tap and light. There is even free Wifi. What more could you ask for? The owner is very welcoming and chatty. I will definitely be coming again. The surroundings are peaceful with lovely scenery a little way from the main road, so no traffic noise and beautiful sunsets. Just what one needs after a long shift at work!

2 nights away whilst working

Stayed here as ideal for work whilst my wife and 2 dogs could see the local area. The site was lovely, we where on pitch 5 which was a bit too far from the outdoor WiFi spot to get a good signal. It was ok when we walked passed plots 1-3. All the plots are hard/gravel standings with electric, outdoor light, water and drain. Shower/toilet block (only one) was clean and well stocked with toilet rolls, soap etc. Site was quite and away from any busy roads. We would go back again if in the area.

Needs a bit of attention

We found the site easily and sited ourselves as no one was about. The pitches slope slightly rearwards which wasn't a problem, with the electric, fresh and waste water at the back of the pitch. I noticed some of the pitches require weeding and the access road to the site requires pot hole filling. The shower block wet room just needs some attention as the shower screen leaks water into the toilet area, a water pipe screw is just hanging, parts of the shower are missing but the shower gives a good powerful shower. I'm not sure if other than the cl is using this facility as there seems to be other motorhomes and caravans everywhere. The site wi-fi is poor and keeps dropping out, but our main gripe was the amount of flies around the caravan and every time you opened the door flies came in. We marked down on beauty and surroundings as you back onto trees which need trimming back before they take over, look over a field edged with trees and some strimming should be done around the grass areas. The owner is very pleasant and chatty but does not interfere.

As advertised on the Tin

We completed a one week stay in winter and have to say that all of the previous reviews apply equally for winter caravanning. Can't comment about awning pegs as we didn't erect an awning and can't comment about shower room as it was too ruddy cold to venture down to it so used our own but it looked fine. The pitches are large and there should be ample space for every size of unit to fit on, nice spacing between pitches as well. They do slope ever so slightly but we were able to get a flat area to park the caravan. As others have said there is sufficient dog walking area and info hut, chemical disposal and owners all excellent. Access is well described in the handbook and on the webpage, the farm track isn't long and the pitches are to the right of the first building you see. This is where the only quibble comes in, the section of track leading to the pitches is about 100 yards long and there are some potholes in it so if water filled take care. Plenty to see and do in the area, Sainsburys is on the way into Frome and there is a M&S Foothill in the centre of Frome along with the usual shops and some nice individual ones.The road leading past the site is about 250 yards across fields and is quiet at night and not that busy during the day. For those seeking out CLs with Serviced Pitches then this should be on your list, for those who don't want pay those prices because they don't need a serviced pitch then there are cheaper alternatives available locally but not necessarily in winter time.

Perfection

I can only reiterate what others have said. It's really a mini site with superb serviced pitches. Remember to bring long grey water pipe, and kit to connect drinking water and a screw on connector for tap. My only (petty) criticism , had difficulty making rock pegs stay put. All the small details have been catered for I.e. hand wash liquid and paper towels in loo. Excellent info hut with local o/s map on wall, supplies of reading material, ample leaflets and local info. Finally the owner's, lovely people. As the General said, "I will return"

Lovely and quiet and in a gorgeous setting.

Lovely site. Nice large hard standing pitches, clean and maintained wet room with shower and heated (very important). Friendly and nosey bullocks and heifers to greet you in the field, little information hut and very helpful owners. Would I visit again? Yes and I probably will.

Well Chuffed

Had a week here recently, and very pleased with the site. Owners very pleasant and more than helpful. Lovely position facing field full of inquisitive cows and two big fields for exercising dogs. nice big level pitches all with hook-up, tap and waste water disposal. Toilet and shower absolutely fine. This was our first time in this area and we found lots to see and do. We will certainly be back.

Recent Stay

Nice well laid out CL with good views across the fields all pitches have 2 taps one for fresh water and one for waste water free WFI but not suitable to download films.Excellent wet room with brilliant shower. We stayed for 6 nights from 14th June . Easy access to Glastonbury, Wells and Bath. Asda and Sainsburys superstores close by at Frome by car about 6 minotes away. Places to eat close by is the George at Nunney or the Masons Arms just outside Frome. Serviced pitches for £15 a night excellent value really hope to visit again next year. The only downside is the narrow access road to farm which the grass and hedges need to be cut otherwise easy to find.
