Excellent Open all Year Caravan Touring Site

The caravan seems to be arranged on two tiers, the upper level is more open and spacious whilst the lower tier whilst closer to the amenities seems a touch claustrophobic. We were located on the lower tier as per our request; I have arthritic knees and can't walk so far. The staff here are really nice and helpful, they keep the amenities absolutely spotless, it's hard work doing this day in day out and we appreciated this very much. The amenity block had the look of a large scout hut but entering it dispelled this initial image we had!! Minehead is tired in some ways, brilliant in others. The West Somerset Railway is a must see attraction; it's one of the longest preserved standard gauge preserved railways in the country. It has some tacky amusement arcades on the seafront but when I was a kid I would love visiting these places. It has to said that there is nothing for youngsters to do on this Club Site though. Worth taking the 8 mile trip to Porlock for some olde-worlde pubs to eat and drink. Dunster is a special little place, love the Cafe's and Coffee shops. WE WOULD DEFINITELY REVISIT THIS SITE.

Marvellous Minehead

Stayed at Minehead several times and like that it is a small peaceful site. So much to do from the site. We took the steam train to Blue Anchor and walked back to site. Went on the Exmoor Coaster to Lynmouth. Walked around Dunster and came back via the coastal path. Visited the Dunster show too. Minehead town is a 10-15 minute walk away and great local cinema there too. Nearby shops are a Co-op, pet shop and tasty chippy. Though can easily walk down to Tesco, Morrisons and Lidl from the site. Alcombe common is a nice area to walk the dog.

Most enjoyable.

We stayed on the site for 5 nights between 9th-14th June. The site is not large but its tiered layout makes it seem even smaller than it is. Some of the pitches are not as large as you might expect for an awning and the "traditional" set up with the caravan centrally sited between the awning and the tow vehicle. Be that as it may,it is an attractive site which is invisible from the road running by and is well screened and soundproofed from traffic. There is one toilet block which was spotlessly maintained by the wardens and we never had to queue to use any of the facilities. In addition there are two individual unisex toilets to the rear of the block which can be used at any time. Overall the site is well maintained and is a credit to the wardens. We had a totally unexpected problem with the battery on our tow car on our day of departure. I tried to get in touch with the RAC and was promptly warned about long waits for help. In desperation I approached the wardens for advice about local garages or sources of assistance. To my utter surprise they offered to use their own power pack equipment which got the car started straight away. An act of absolute kindness for which my wife and I remain extremely grateful. A memorable end to a most enjoyable holiday.

Highly recommend this site!

We have just returned from a very relaxing 12 night break at the Minehead site. New to the area we knew very little, but there was lots of information provided on arrival and in the on-site information room. It's a very easy walk into the town and beach from the site, with a small supermarket just a 5 minute walk away. We enjoyed visits to the spectacular Dunster Castle and Watermill, Lynmouth and Lynton, Porlock and Bossington. Watchet is a nearby harbour town with a cute market and some lovely shops. Exmoor is on the doorstep offering fantastic views and walks. Minehead beach itself has wide sandy beaches and they were very quiet too on the days we visited! The site itself is divided into small areas which gives it a nice feel, the toilet and shower facilities are immaculate and the grounds are beautifully kept. The TV signal and Wi-fi were also great, much better than we have often had elsewhere. Zoe and Sam (who manage the site) couldn't be more welcoming and helpful. They clearly genuinely love the job and this is evident in the way they look after their guests and manage everything. As a consequence, we could see why so many of those on pitches around us are frequent visitors to the site and we will definitely be returning too! Thank you :)

Great staff, friendly welcome and spotless facilities

We stayed here for 2 nights over the Easter period. First time in about 10 years for us as it's not an easy site to access from Cornwall in a 7m motorhome. Lovely, friendly welcome. You have to park up and walk around to choose your pitch, which we can understand, however it can get a bit congested near reception if everyone turns up at 1pm! Great choice of pitches and we chose to be tucked away in a small section near the facilities block. Very quiet for Easter so we were happy. Facilities block was always very warm and extremely clean. However, it does need updating. Bins and recycling all in one place near entrance to site. Easy walk into Minehead, follow the sites instructions for quickest route in. Nice walk into Dunster (couldn't find the route site suggested for some reason so found our own and it was fine). Co-op, fish & chip shop, Chinese takeaway (that wasn't great in our opinion!) and Indian restaurant just down the road (5 minute walk) so all very convenient. Minehead is a bit of a 'tired town' now (again only our opinion), full of tat shops for charity shops (that I love going around!). We found the Wheelhouse Restaurant to eat in on the Saturday night and it was fantastic. Proper home-made food in a friendly environment. Would stay on this site again but only if coming from the North back home to Cornwall and able to access it via the A39.

Nice spring break

This is a clean, tidy and well maintained site in walking distance of Minehead and Dunster for anyone who is reasonably mobile. There is easy access to Wootton Common and Alcombe Common and a great pub 10 minutes walk from the site (Britania Inn) - here's hoping the new chef resumes the previously extensive vegetarian/vegan menu. A good tip (if you don't want to move your motorhome) is to catch the bus to Porlock or Porlock Weir. Wardens were extremely helpful when we had an issue with our van's ignition.

Make sure you book the correct pitch!

Have stayed on this site three times in the past few months, in a campervan towing a small car .First two visits were brilliant with extremely nice and helpful staff (Zoe and Sam). As is often the case at club sites, we were told “find a pitch you like and just let us know which one you’re on”. Having done this and found the pitch we preferred, went back to the office and told them which pitch we had picked. The site was quite busy but by no means full. On the second occasion we already knew the pitch we wanted - it was the one we’d previously used so, as it was free, that was the one we used. Now to get to the point - last visit (16th &17th Nov) - we booked in, asked if “our” pitch was free - it was - so advised the new manager ( Zoe and Sam had gone) that’s where we’d be. As you’d expect, at this time of year the site was less than a third full so what’s the issue? Well, as we were setting up on “our” pitch ( white pegs ie hard standing with awning) along comes the new manager to say there is a problem - we’d booked a pitch with no awning (blue pegs) so we couldn’t stay on the white peg pitches. He was quite correct, I had indeed booked a non-awning pitch because we would not be using our awning due to the weather but, and here’s the rub, when I asked if the site was fully booked for our two night stay, it wasn’t. So, would it have been a problem for anybody if we’d used our preferred pitch? You’d probably think not but - Yes, because we’d booked online and there could be another 30+ members suddenly coming for those two nights who’d also booked online so those white peg pitches had to be kept free. “It’s your fault because you booked a non-awning pitch, not mine” Of course the new manager is absolutely correct and Rules are Rules so what am I rabbiting on about? Could a little bit of common sense have prevailed? “Our” pitch wasn’t used nor the four adjacent during our stay. When we left on the Saturday morning there were at least 25 unit on this 49 pitch site. Anyway, the moral of this tale is - it’s NOT a criticism of Minehead Club site, which we definitely will use again, but a warning to everyone - make sure that you book the correct pitch!

Nice site on edge of Minehead

Our second visit here. We stayed 3 nights in a campervan in mid October. Good, clean, well kept site. Friendly welcome. Toilet block clean. I like the inclusion of 2 separate WCs which is handy when main toilets are closed for daily cleaning. Several landscaped sections on different levels. Some pitches are flat, some you need ramps. On site dog walk. Plenty of info on local bus times etc. in the information room. It's a good base for walking on hills just behind Minehead (Grabbist, etc) or for touring along the coast or to Exmoor, all quite close. Tip: we like to walk along to the harbour and then up North Hill to very picturesque Old Town area.
