Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Pdw8 2 reviews from this member

 Just back from a long weekend at the site. Arrived in torrential rain and was met at gate by a employee and shown on map our field and told to pitch anywhere. We opted for a basic pitch without EHU in a field called Piddle Patch I think.

This field was on a slope and there were no flat pitches we could find so made the best of a pitch on one side under a tree line. This turned out to be a bad decision as there is a very busy road 10m away from our pitch.

The site is very large and was fully booked for the weekend. He premium EHU pitches are all in individual hedge lined pitches but some were very small and unable to take a tent/caravan and car so cars were all over the place.

There are 2 toilet/shower blocks and although I always found a free shower the site could do with another block as the distance is quite a way from the basic fields. We used the family rooms which have a toilet and shower in individual rooms so are ideal for the purpose. There are numerous washing up points and water taps everywhere including the basic fields.

The site has an outdoor swimming pool but we did not use this for reasons to be explained later. There are playgrounds, crazy golf and a BMX track. My kids loved the track but unfortunately my 8 year old daughter fell off and broke her arm! (tip, don't bother with Weston A&E go straight to Bristol Childrens Hospital. )

Also on the site is a shop, bar, games room and organised kids activities. Again, we didn't really use the entertainment facilities but the shop was OK if not a bit badly stocked. We didn't really have much contact with the staff except to ask to borrow some pillows to help rest my daughters arm which they happily did.

Overall I like the site but it was very noisy with many groups still singing etc at midnight. I would not recommend the basic field due to the road noise but would opt for a premium pitch next time. Both my kids want to return to use the BMX track again but think we might go somewhere else next time.

 Just got back after spending a week on this camp, the camp is very large and yet had loads of empty space, s (you could just turn up and pay), the toilets are fine, a little dated but they work just fine and there was always hot water. On a downside, because of the size of the camp it needed to be a lot more shower blocks and washing up area, s (this was not a problem because of the amount of empty space, s)but would have been if more fuller.

The kids loved this site for the stuff that they had to do, the BMX track went down well, even if they did get hurt on it the second day there.

As always the other campers was nice and friendly, we went out one day and while away it started raining and other campers had seen that we was out and put our chairs away for us (we had left them out). They had a shop on site which was not bad but the size of it they could a big money maker if stocked better.

The staff on site was very helpful and friendly, part of our fridge broke one day and the staff tried to repair it (it would not be repaired but a least they tried).

This is a great site and if we are ever in the area again we would camp there again. 


Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Loch Morlich 13 reviews from this member

 We visited the park after a long over night drive from Scotland.

The staff were very helpful and let us in early, but this was also when we found the main problem on the site, namely road geometries which were quite tight. Unfortunately we caught a bollard and endured minor damage to the caravan. It is something that visitors have to be careful with.

The site is large, but is divided by several paddocks, and essentially has the feel of a French site, with lots of landscaping and hedges around each pitch. During the week the site was pretty empty but at the weekend it was probably near enough full.

The toilets etc were clean.

The biggest thing about the site though is its excellent facilities for kids. The adventure playground is huge and very natural in amongst the trees. The pool is a little sun trap and we spent several hours there. But the really unusual facility is the camps world championship bmx course. It really is quite something, but only our oldest was strong enough and perhaps brave enough to get round it. There are also 5 aside football courts, basketball, and a skateboard area.

Offsite we visited Cheddar, Glastonbury, Wells, the Fleet Air Arm and Bristol (the river taxis are great).

So once we got over our bump we had a great time.

Reviewer: LSumner 3 reviews from this member

 Turned up on spec and got a brilliant spot for £58 for two nights. The receptionist was extremely overworked but very friendly and efficient. Sadly on return journey called them in advance and got quoted £70 which was a little out of our budget.

Pitch was superb, in a little square bordered by hedges with electric and box within easy reach. The site is vast with a good dog walk to the rear if you don't mind a climb.

Washing up facilities were good although I never got truly hot water.

Showers were clean and plentiful although you do have to keep pressing the button to keep it going. The water was hot enough for me.

Did not go in the pool or the bar but did get take away pizza's which really weren't too good. A lack of cheese and toppings!

Reviewer: Shaung 10 reviews from this member

 We only booked the site 4 hours before we arrived. What a great find, the site is near to Cheddar and is very well maintained. We booked onto an hardstanding pitch due to the rain and it was a good size and level.

The toilets and showers are a bit dated but were clean, the site was quite quiet for the first week of the school holidays but that suited me and the family.

There is a shop which was well stocked, an oit door swimming pool which looked nice, there was a bar which served food, the food was good, especially the homemade pizza.

They have an entertainment team that work in high season who had just started that day, they were amazing with the kids doing circus acts etc. There is some family entertainment on in the evening, but not over the top.

Very good site and would use again.

Reviewer: Gails1471 3 reviews from this member

 Visited this sight for 2 weeks in a tent during August with husband and two children.

Big, clean and tidy site with wardens all over making sure everything is right.

Toilets and showers as clean as can be expected when people are tramping mud in all day. Never have to queue for a shower at the main block which is central.

Very good playground and crazy golf area which kids enjoyed.

The bar was OK but a little expensive and the food is definitely not home made. The pizzas were the frozen type with more toppings added to make them look home made. The curry I got was a ready meal which I had to ask them to reheat as the chicken wasn't anywhere near hot. Overpriced readymeals.

If you want really good food for a similar price try the Riverside pub with a fab garden and playground in Cheddar 2 miles down the road. Dont try the Bath Arms in Cheddar as worse than the bar.

Only other gripe is that there was a field just adjacent to the site where from 5pm every night off road motorbikes could be heard loudly revving their engines as they were doing some sort of motorcross until dusk. This was the noisiest site I've ever been on in four years of regular camping.

The swimming pool was a good facility.

The pitch size was very good, everyone big enough for a Montana 6 with front extension.

Wouldn't rule out returning to this site as it was a good base for exploring Somerset.

Reviewer: Jackie_110 10 reviews from this member

 We came here with 150+ friends for the a weekend, we had a mix of tents, caravans and campers/motor homes.

We had part of the site away from the regular campers and as said before the site was very well laid out, with taps and electric hook-ups conveniently placed for each pitch.

The showers and toilets were very clean and the shop well stocked with every thing from gas, sweets, papers, toys to toiletries.

We didn't eat on the site but friends said the food was very good, the same with the pool.

We don't have young children any more but if we did this would be are 1st choice. It's set in a beautiful part of the country with some nice walks. Cheddar has some nice tea rooms and a modern supermarket.

If your looking for a quiet site this may not be for you in the school holidays or at weekend but the rest of the time it's a lovely, convenient and well maintained site.

I have given it 5 out of 10 for value because I thought it would be a little expensive if you just wanted it for a base but if you make full use of the facilities it probably is priced at the going rate.

Reviewer: Smirice38 7 reviews from this member

 Visited this site for a four night stay we arrived at 9am after a 4 hour drive and went straight to reception where we were shown a map of the site and asked where we would like to pitch,

We chose tinkers nook and was really surprised on the quality of the pitch it was surrounded on three sides with high hedges providing privacy and protection from the weather if needed. It also had its own supply of electric and its own supply of water.

The toilets were immaculate with plenty of hot water and were regularly cleaned, the outdoor pool was a blessing as the weather was really hot and it was a really pleasant area to sit.

The site had plenty to occupy children including adventure playground and skateboarding, mini golf and archery.

The nearby village of cheddar is very picturesque with a stream running through and plenty of cheese and cider shops, and tea rooms the caves are well worth a visit and there is a tour bus

All in all a great site and well worth the money I will return in September

Reviewer: Watermonkey 12 reviews from this member

 I think I may have been with Jackie at the same event!

We had a Christmas event here in June. It had been booked well in advance and I was impressed with the level of attention when we booked in. We paid probably around 1/2 the list price which is just as well because it isn't the cheapest site. On the plus side, the facilities are good and there is plenty to do on site. I'm sure my eldest Son had wished he'd come with us for the BMXing facilities in particular.

On arrival, we were met by one of the wardens who, although had already shut, was happy to help us find out where we were supposed to be. As this site has rules about being pre-paid, it was nice to not have to worry about paying up.

I think if you're 'Glamping' then this is the site for you. The pitches are well marked and you have your own 'area'. The different fields all have something to offer and the toilet facilities are amongst the best we have seen.

On the downside (apart from price), we were disappointed with the standard of the pub. The food was very average and beer was expensive. We are fortunate enough to have our own facilities so we didn't need to use these a lot.

Overall, a great site and I believe we are returning next year. I will be very much looking forward to it.

 Positive points: A lovely place. The whole site itself, plus the toilets, showers, washing up facilities and even the outdoor swimming pool are really clean whatever time of the day they were used (the pool operates a strict 'no shoes' policy at all times, which really makes a difference to the cleanliness). Lots of refuge recycling facilities and lots to do for the kids: BMX track, skateboard and scooter park, basketball courts, brilliant playpark (with swings, slides, trampolines, etc. ), and even crazy golf. In addition, there's some lovely wooded areas to walk around and lots of grassy areas for playing cricket, football, etc.

Negative points: aside from the English weather (which can't really be helped), the site is on a very slight incline, which can be tiring if you're walking back and forth a lot with kids, but it's not a major problem. The staff (although not rude, impolite or aloof) are not overly friendly, but again, this doesn't present a major problem.

Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this site, and the fact that we have been to stay here five times in the last three years and making our sixth stay, next month, I think proves that it's a fantastic, family oriented place to camp.

Reviewer: Campcookie 28 reviews from this member

 A large site with full range of facilities. We were visiting without children, mid week and term time so the site was very quiet.

Each pitch was clearly marked and the individual pitches afforded privacy and sufficient space.

The toilets and showers were good and were very clean.

The wash up areas and I used two different areas were not clean! This was the only negative though. If you're not needing the use of the many facilities they offer, then you may find it rather pricey!

£35. 00 for the night for the camper, we weren't using ehu, but I guess that was included in the price.

I would recommend this site if you have children and wish for them to have a great range of on site facilities. 


Date of Visit: June 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Joyjoi 2 reviews from this member

 Many years ago we used to go camping at Broadway House, then we had kids so we got a small touring caravan, but when we started going on packed tours abroad and sold our little van.

My husband retired last year and the kids have all grown up and left home, so we decided to get another caravan.

The First site we thought of was Broadway House, it was our first time with the new van so we were not too clear with all the new things we had to do! and as the site is not too far away from where we live we thought it would be a good place to start.

The site was very busy, quite noisy, full of kids so if you are looking for a quiet place then I don't think this one will suit.

The site was well maintained, with a shop, club, and take away, pool, cafe, all of which were very good, and lots of activities for all the family to do.

So if your looking for a action packed site for you or the kids then Broadway House is the place!

 We visited broadway house for Easter weekend. We were very lucky with the weather it was great.

My son took his bike along and loved the bmx track and he also loved the pool and children's play area.

We visited the bar a couple of nights but didn't eat there but the food did look nice

We went to cheddar which was lovely and brean sands where the children enjoyed spending there money.

The main shower block was clean but the little shower and toilet block was a bit dirty it needed cleaning more as the toilets got blocked a lot.

The only real down side to this park was the noise at night which went on some nights till 1 am in the morning, other than that a good site in a good spot and may return one day

 Just got back from this campsite, had a great two nights in our tent.

Staff were brilliant and helpful, park, toilets and showers were very clean and fresh. The swimming pool and kids play areas were very much appreciated and well used by our kids.

Our only criticism was the club, the layout was poor and could have been so much better. We would have preferred music for the kids before the main entertainer, instead all we got was the TV.

We found the drinks to be very expensive for what we had.

But overall very happy with the camp.

 Having just bought a new Outwell Montana 6 we thought we'd make the huge 9 mile trip from our home to try it out at Broadway House. We'd been before, probably 8 or 9 years ago before the little one was born and it was fantastic back then.

So, was it still going to be as good I wondered.

It had certainly grown. What was overgrown fields at the back were now levelled, hedged, serviced pitches much like the rest of the site. New lodges were stood where we'd camped before and the reception was now the shop.

We used the outdoor pool for the first time and loved it. It was warm and had a nice feel to it. The lifeguards were extremely vigilant, regularly berating a large fella and his teenage boys for bombing, lifting etc. Made me feel far less concerned for the safety of my little girl and her rubber ring. That said I would have liked to have grabbed a beer (and plastic glass maybe?) from the nearby bar and had it by the pool but I wasn't allowed.

My 7 year old loved the big outdoor play area. Lots of big swings - the massive circular jobbies that grownups can also use (!) and up-to-date climbing apparatus.

The toilet blocks were super (or the TOLIETS as the sign says) and the showers were actually a touch TOO hot.

The bar area is a decent size and has a good range of beers. I thought £3.80 for a San Miguel was a bit steep though. I found the bar staff to be extremely accommodating. Happily putting 'final score' on for me to catch the footy results one afternoon.

In short it's a cracking site with great facilities in a lovely location. It's not cheap, but it's 5 star (!) and low and behold you get what you pay for. Broadway house was always a benchmark for me and I'm sure will continue to be, as hopefully we make damn good use of the new tent through 2011.

Oh and one more thing, that BMX track. It was the mother-of-all back in the day and didn't appear to have changed much. Blinding if BMX is your thing.
