Family stay Spring Half Term

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

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

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

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

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.

Lovely quiet stop.

This is a very nice quiet place to stay. We were the only ones on site and out of season. Lots of lovely walks right on the door step. About a 15 minute walk to nearest pub.

Lovely site

What a lovely, peaceful site. Very spacious pitches. A great base to go explore Somerset. The strawberry line is just at the end of the lane and a fabulous bike route. We stayed 4 nights and will most definitely be returning.

Lovely Site and Excellent Base to Explore Somerset

I was staying here to visit my parents in the village whom I hadn't seen for nine months due to the pandemic. I borrowed by sister and brother in law's caravan and, apart from communication issues at the start, I can thoroughly recommend this CL. On trying to make my booking, initially through e-mail, no one replied to me. After trying several times, I managed to get through on the telephone. A week prior to my visit I e-mailed twice but didn't receive a reply. I couldn't leave a voicemail as the machine was full! I finally got a reply upon sending a third e-mail. This is the only issue I had with this CL and is the only reason I have rated it 4 our of 5. James told me to ring his mobile after setting up so that he could bring me the site information and make payment and, from that point onwards, I had a wonderful 3 night stay on this CL. The location is lovely and peaceful and only about a mile from the village of WInscombe. I recommend The Railway Inn at Sandford (owned by the Thatchers cider family) as well as a visit to their shop. Winscombe also has an abundance of shops. As long as you are patient at the start and keep persevering to make the initial booking, you really shouldn't be disappointed with this lovely site.

Lovely site. Lots to do.

Just returned from 5 night stay. Very friendly, helpful owner. Good spacing between caravans. Slight slope, which is easy to rectify. Good facilities, lovely pool. Quiet spot with easy access to Bristol/Bath etc. Rained most days but still had enjoyable week and will book again for next year.

CL site not as described

Just returned from a long weekend at Uplands Cottages and unfortunately the experience could have been better. On arrival there was no way of knowing which pitch to use or any check in procedure ( I did email a week before going to ask this but received no response). When I eventually found reception, a lady said she had nothing printed out so just pitch anywhere and the manager would come and see us. Pitches are quite sloping, and the grass had not been cut in a good while. It felt more like pitching in a field. Can’t comment on facilities as they were closed to anyone with their own (I knew this when I booked so no issue) What’s NOT mentioned on CMHC details is that Uplands have a camping field directly behind the CL. On Friday this was taken over by a group of families who partied away until gone midnight. They then decided to monopolise the swimming pool on Saturday, bringing alcohol and loud music making it feel unsafe for us to remain as we were with our grandchildren (aged 3 to 6). Despite a pack detailing COVID restrictions no-one from the site seemed to be ensuring these were adhered to. I tried to call, then emailed the owners to address my concerns, but neither were answered. In conclusion, whilst this site is in a beautiful location and close to Weston/Cheddar etc, the owners clearly don’t maintain the CL as well as the rest of the site, which is a shame.
