We are regular visitors to Exmoor House, it being our favourite CC site and for us it just keeps getting better. We've just had another 4 nights here over the early May bank holiday, and the weather was perfect (which always makes for a great stay!). Arrival time is STRICT 1pm. After having a minor 'tangle' with a lorry driver on the road into Dulverton we arrived on site to the usual warm welcome(there are no problems with the small roads if you're careful and you don't meet another vehicle in a hurry!). Most pitches here are hardstanding and large (there are 5 grass pitches available I think should you prefer). Pitches all have EHU and TV hookup on each board. There are also a small number of 'all service' pitches available that include your own water and drain. The site has 2 toilet/shower blocks, both spotless and welcoming! There is also a laundry and 2 indoor washing up areas, 1 of which is housed in the information room. Recycling is available and there is a small but functional dog walk on site. The site is very peaceful, with just the sound of the River Barle that runs alongside the site and the abundance of birds (we heard owls most nights and the dawn chorus at 4:30am each morning was wonderful!). The walking in the local area is fantastic. You can walk through Burridge Woods and there are circular routes directly from Dulverton. Dulverton itself has all you could ever need. Four good pubs/restaurants (The Lion Hotel offers CC members 10% discount on food when your membership card is shown), plenty of tea rooms/coffee shops, a Co-Op (open all hours!) and a fabulous butchers (we can highly recommend their pork and caramalised onion sausages). Although 'kick off' time was 12noon the wardens allowed us to stay until 3pm on Bank Holiday Monday, which we much appreciated. 10/10 from us all the way!

Access to this site is easy. Exit the M5 at junction 27 and follow the A361, A396 & B3222 towards Dulverton. Immediately after crossing the narrow bridge and before the Bridge Inn, take the left turn towards the site. Treat previous reviews that talk about difficult access with a pinch of salt, if you are incapable of towing along these roads you should really question whether you should be towing at all. The site is set very close to the village of Dulverton and adjacent to the Exmoor National Park HQ. View from the site are varied and interesting, looking out over the traditional buildings set in a backdrop of forested hills. The site, which slopes very, very gently is open all year round and is designed to cope admirably. All pitches are generous in size and are hard standing with some even being fully serviced. Surprisingly for such a small site with under 70 pitches there are two toilet blocks. Each one being immaculate at any time of day or night. The CCEP is under cover in a heated room. It would be unfair to call the enclosed dog exercise area on site a dog walk, but it is certainly the best dog scamper I have ever come across! Longer walks are available direct from the site. There is no play area on site, but just outside the gate is a play park and village green for ball games. Reception sells very little, but with The village of Dulverton less than 100m from the site entrance via a shortcut through the car park and past the heritage centre, it does not need to. Dulverton has a range of small shops which includes a Co-op, butcher, grocer and newsagent amongst others. The Bridge Inn serves god food and a selection of good beers. Dogs are welcome inside, but if yours are a little boisterous, there is a lovely beer garden set infront of the pub where you can watch the world go by. This area is heated by infra red heaters when required. Exmoor and all it’s natural beauty is on your doorstep and the north coast of Somerset / Devon is a short drive away over the moor. This site is a Gem, and is one we will be returning to.

Another return visit to this wonderful CC site for us - our favourite CC site of the lot! Lovely wardens with a warm welcome! Only had a the choice of 3 pitches because they were packed (understandably!) so pitched up on exactly the same pitch we had on our previous visit! I cannot find fault at all on this site. Everything you could possibly want on site and off site all within a 5 minute wander. Perfect for us motorhomers who don't want to drive around small country roads! Both the wardens and the site are a credit to the CC network and we will keep on returning to this wonderful site.

Visited this site as a weekend break ( saturday - tuesday) First I would like to advise on the approach from the M5 take note of directions in the caravan club site book as some spots are a little tricky, especially Black cat crossroads, and the bridge by the anchor inn and at the bridge inn, and bear in mind you are on country roads take care. We booked a service pitch which we would recommend as some standard pitches are a bit small while most are fine, Don't arrive before 1pm you will not be allowed to book in before this time, wardens were very polite and helpful, The village is very nice, we had fish and chips from the local chip shop (very nice)and reasonably priced. Surrounding walks for ourselves and our dog were very good Would recommend this site for a relaxing peaceful break.

Exmoor House is in Dulverton. The Caravan Club seem to have adopted a policy of re-naming some sites so that their actual location is more obvious - this could be a candidate for a name change. Exmoor House itself was the old workhouse, and reading a the history of the place on the info board makes our social support systems seem very generous! The site is fairly small but well laid out, and there are two very up-to-date toilet blocks, so no pitch is more than a minute’s walk from one or the other. The village of Dulverton is about 10 minutes walk and has pretty much all you will need, including a Co-op and a proper butcher’s. It was late June when we were there so of course it rained. A lot. We got very wet on a walk around Tarr Steps, but had a reasonably fine day for a visit to Dunster Castle (NT). By the way, if you are tempted like us to call into Knightshayes Court NT property between Tiverton and Dulverton on your way with your caravan, be aware that the access road is very narrow and parking for caravans limited. We phoned ahead to reserve a place in the coach park. A coach driver warned us not to leave the property between about 3pm and 4pm on school days as the village at the end of the lane becomes grid-locked by parents’ cars. He spoke from experience!

A Lovely Caravan Club site, we have been visiting the area for years and seem to come back to this site time and again. It is very close to the village of Dulverton, The Wardens are just wonderful, very warm and welcoming, plenty of space, great toilet block, lovely pub just down the road, and a little Co-op in the high street, plus a few other independent shops. Roads are a little narrow, but they are country lanes, so you would expect it! what more could you ask for. Plenty of places to visit locally, not too far from Minehead
