Just perfect!

We've been lucky enough to stay at this beautiful, tranquil and beautifully maintained gem of a site for the last 2 weeks in between house moves - we'll be sad to leave tomorrow Owner Phil offers the warmest of welcomes and is helpful and extremely knowledgeable of the locality - he provided a detailed map of the area too. The site is peacefully situated next to a gently flowing stream with a little beach and a picnic bench close by. The huge wildflower meadow has thoughtfully mown footpaths through it and across a couple more fields to Holcombe Village where there's a lovely Farm Shop/Cafe/Bar - I'd say a 10 to 15 minute flat walk. We feel privileged to have been able to stay here - thank you.

Lovely peaceful site

Very well maintained, peaceful & relaxing site. Welcoming and informative owner lent as an OS map of the surrounding area. Our dog loved swimming in the stream from the small beach. Nice level pitches. We stayed 2 nights and wish it could have been longer.

Great site & Best wildflower meadow ever

Beautifully kept site; welcoming and extremely helpful owner; lovely stream with access for dogs and children to paddle from a little beach; picnic tables; the most orchids and other wildflowers I think you’d find anywhere! Literally thousands of orchids- so pretty. Owner Phil has mowed through the middle and all around the edge of the meadow (which I reckon is at least 3 acres) which makes a lovely walk with (or without) a dog! There is lots to do locally: the interesting market towns of Frome and Shepton Mallet, both of which have nice parks for adults, dogs and children alike. And of course, there is the beautiful cathedral city of Wells and the city of Bath. Not too far away is the amazing Cheddar Gorge and caves. Just a short walk from the site is a pub/restaurant/café and farm shop. There is a Co-op in the nearby village of Coleford. Great CL either just to rest and unwind, enjoy the local walks or visiting the many attractions of this part of Somerset.

Lovely well kept site

We booked a 5 night stay to use a gift of afternoon tea on the East Somerset Railway. We were met on arrival by Phil the owner, what a nice chap, he was extremely helpful and supplied us with a local OS map pointing out local walks, pubs and a coffee shop. A nice stream on site with a man made sandy beach. Also a picnic bench was provided but unfortunately the weather was so awful we were not able to utilise the facilities on site or take advantage of the many local walks. Phil came round in the afternoon with excess produce from his allotment too - what a bonus, the home grown cucumbers were delicious, thank you Phil.

Very quiet and picturesque site

We stayed one night only. As it had rained constantly for two days, the owner had suggested we park in the farmyard across the road from the CL, which we did. This also had ECU and water points, plus a chemical toilet dump facility. We enjoyed a very peaceful night and would happily have done some local walking (there are many footpaths) if it hadn’t been so wet. We were sorry not to see the owner who was in hospital on the day we visited.

Perfect!

Was sent detailed instruction on how to find this lovely site, met on arrival by owner and given very useful information and local site map.. Lovely location with river on site ideal for touring area or resting. Well maintained- could it be improved? water tap was across the road causing me mild exercise so only 99.99% seems fair. Will we go back- yes most likely

The welcome with a map of the numerous footpath , the beautiful steam that runs through site with a sandy beach! The amazing wild flower meadow with orchids with walkways through meadow so you could enjoy the full experience. The grass was neat , short , cut frequently even the grass verges were carefully trimmed with margins of wild grasses.. Just a perfect site. Thank you Phil.

Wow oh wow

I booked five nights on this site to enable us to use the East Somerset railway ticket that my daughter had bought us. Not been to this area before so was unsure what to expect. What a pleasant surprise we had. Beautiful site, well kept abs with beautiful surroundings. So quiet and Phil is a really nice guy. Brought us an O/S nap so we could find the many foot paths from the site. About halfway a mile from the site over the two fields n there is a lovely cafe which is in Holcomb. We had a lovely pot of tea and cake, even had water and treats for the dog. We will certainly be back down. Thanks Phil for a lovely few days.

Stunning site

What a beautiful site this is, next to a stream and with plenty of space between pitches. Would highly recommend if you want peace and quiet and plenty of walks . There is a pub /farm shop / cafe within walking distance .The owner is very friendly and knowledgable about the area .Will definitely return.

Lovely, peaceful site

Have just had a long weekend here and absolutely loved our stay. From the nice wide access gates onto the lovely short grass and all 5 pitches are in a line with electric points. Phil was there to warmly greet us. He lent us a walking map and showed us where water and cdp were - over lane in his yard, which is only about 20m from the site gate. All weekend Phil was attentive but not "in your face". He also has a very good sense of humour and I enjoyed chatting with him. We booked via facebook and email and he sent us good directions which are better that those listed. The site is a couple of miles down lanes but we coped fine with our t/a. We will be back - leave room for us........... In all one of the nicest CLs we have been to.
