 Just spend 2 awesome days and nights at petruth paddocks, when we arrived we had a very warm welcome from julian the owner who showed use to a perfect pitch with lots of room and beautiful views,
we were provided with tinder and logs (for a small charge) for an open fire, after pitching up we got the fire lit and relaxed with a few beers the true camping experience,
pubs are only a short walk away roughly 10mins and a further 10mins to cheddar gorge, toilets were nice and clean too,
if your after a relaxing and mellow time I would recommend this site 100%

Nice camp site and location. Liked the idea of having a camp fire with wood supplied on the site.
Clean toilet block but would have like a shower on site(showers can be taken at the nearby sports hall).
The field is flat and there is plenty of room, you're not all piled in on top of each other.
The owners gave us a guide to the area showing the best places to eat and drink, which we found useful.
It is only a short walk into Cheddar where there's plenty of pubs, takeaways and shops for supplies and its not a long walk to the gorge but its probably worth taking transport if you want to go right through it.

My family and I enjoyed staying at Petruth Paddocks. We had a lovelly weekend. The site is close proximity to the gorge which was great as we had young children so did not want too much of a walk. Julian was a lovely helpful man and helped up put up our tent and helped make us some hooks as ours were broken.
I was however a little disappointed that the grass had not been cut when we arrived early August as this was a bit of a struggle in the tent and the field was pretty boggy in places. I felt the children's play area could have been better as it was a tyre on a rope although I don't think they offered a play area at all so something is better than nothing. I was also a little disappointed in the toilets as I think the website said 'toilet block' when actually it is a trailer with 4 toilets and no hot water.
But as I say all in all a fab time. I would definitely use the site again for a weekend.

Just returned from two nights at this campsite and what a little gem it turned out to be. It is very basic. Two very large fields with only one toilet block (two female toilets and the same for the guys). The toilets are keycoded so that the campers can use them rather than the people who have those facilities in their caravans. But enough of the toilets, the area was beautiful and very peaceful. Julian welcomed us and spent some time telling us about the area. Only 10 minutes walk from the centre of cheddar. Wood for campfires was provided for a small fee (which was hastily paid for the pleasure of an open fire). We will return next year. The only improvement I could think of would be some bins and maybe another toilet block but camping is about basics and I would wholeheartedly recommend this lovely site. See you next year!

After a very long journey on the motorway we finally arrived to a very warm welcome from Julian, he was very helpful and gave us a leaflet that told us everything about the site and surrounding area.
There was plenty of water taps, and plenty of space to relax in. The only downfalls were no rubbish disposal, and after travelling 3 hrs home the rubbish left a smell in the van. There was a rally in the next field and they made a lot of noise till the early hours, but in fairness when I told Julian he was very apologetic, (not that it was his fault), but these were the only downfall and we will most certainly return to the site again in the future.

My husband and son visited the site about 2 weeks ago, only there 2nd attempt at camping, so only stayed the one night.
They assured me the site was lovely, toilet block only, but what more do you need for one night.
Booking the pitch via email was great, Julian and Sandra were helpful, and very prompt at replying, which certainly was where other sites fell short!
The area was very picturesque, with enough to do for a couple of days.
George and Jeremy will definitely return next year, and you never know I might get invited as well!

Petruth Paddocks is in a very nice location on the outskirts of Cheddar, with shops and pubs all in walking distance. Very friendly owner letting you pitch your tent where you like, bringing you fire wood if required for a small fee. Plenty of open space for the kids to play, massive car boot on Sundays just a few fields away which my wife enjoyed. My only gripe was the toilets which are a mobile unit and were awful. I would visit site again but if toilets are updated.

We found the location excellent as plenty to do and see in this area, also Burnham is only a stone's throw away for a day trip.
The site itself was excellent with a large rally field so plenty of room for the kids to play games. A number of water points were located around the field and a clearly marked elsan point could be easily accessed. On arrival we were given a well thought out informative leaflet regarding the site and surrounding area which answered all our questions.
The owner Julian who was very friendly, visited the rally field daily to check we were all ok and to answer any queries. He also arranged a trailer ride for the children and also brought over some horses for the children to see.
The only downside was that the cut grass was not picked up and there were no refuse collection points. But even so, we will be definitely be visiting the site again.

This site was quite exposed but flat and well drained. Within easy walking distance of Cheddar itself, with amazing views of the hills and surrounding countryside.
Although it is within close distance of the main road and local kart track it is quite peaceful.
There are several water taps around the edge of the field and an Elsan point.
The owner was always about checking that things were ok and ready to answer any questions.
My only concern would be the minimal signage to the site.

This was a lovely site with wonderful surrounding views. Access to the site was explained well and the field was fairly level and not too muddy considering the weather.
There are water taps and a Elsen point. There are shops, a supermarket, pubs and takeaways all within walking distance. Julian the owner was very friendly and went out of his way to see that everyone was happy. He arranged a brewery tour, chocolate factory tour and gave us loads of info about activities etc in a very informative booklet he has produced.
I think the main downside which we didn't know about were no rubbish facilties. There are recyling bins in Cheddar but nowhere for your general rubbish but now knowing this we would still like to go back there and so would several friends we were with.
