We stayed as part of a group this weekend, we're a family of 4 with a dog. The site was small and friendly, dogs were welcomed as long as they were kept on a lead. The staff were very acommodating, chatty and eager to help. The facilities were fab, the shower/toilet block was always clean and the showers were hot. There was even a family room with a bath which was a realy plus. Surprisingly for a site of it's size there was a shop, a games room for the kids and a pub as well. What more could you ask for?! We would definitely recommend it and would go back.

Lovely friendly level park. Excellent toilet/shower facilities (even got a bathroom with a bath!). Great Shop with all basics. Had a good evening meal in Bar from Murphys Kitchen & on the Sunday had a roast which was fantastic. Our son loved the playarea & Games room. Our friends stayed in a static and found that to be extremely well equipped, clean and comfortable. Very freindly staff and other campers. Ideal for exploring Clarks village, Glastonbury, walking & fishing. We also took a trip to Lyme Regis whilst there - took 40mins by car. Would definately return.
