 We booked late over the phone and had the last pitch no 8 at the other end of the field furthest away from x2 Toilets/showers, not a problem as its only 8 pitches away, very clean and tidy showers which are 50p and you get ample time.
Pitches are double hard standing each has water and electric which uses £1 or £2 coins. We stayed 3 nights and only used about £3-50 using our normal appliances much better than paying per night,
There is a busy road behind the plot but we didn't really notice it the view is facing a small holding owned by the campsite sheep and chickens the village about 1/2 mile away has a tea room and a few outlets around it.
The village pub is really nice palmers real ale, quality local food from 5-30 pm pub closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, large beer garden.
We walked up the local hill Colmer's hill lovely shaded walk but very uneven in places until you get to the last part which gets quite steep in open fields well worth it for the view you can see the top from your pitch it took about 1hr to climb.
Bridport is a good 20 min walk, market day is Wednesday and Saturdays
Overall a very nice site Adults only and open all year round we'll be back many times with friends

What can I say, a great site.
The pitches are fantastic all looking out over the fields and Jacobs sheep and Colmer Hill.
Each pitch has metered EHU ( we used approx £1.50 a day for the fridge, microwave, kettle and hot water)and water the pitches are all hard standing with a great bit of well manicured lawn adjacent to it.
The shower and toilet facilities are immaculate and the shower is on a meter 50 pence for approx 10 minutes…. More than enough for most people.
The owners Nic and Adam are friendly and come and say hello to you everyday and make sure everything is ok a nice personal touch!
The little information shed has all the info you need for exploring the area and one or two restaurants and take away menus. It also has a little store selling essential items and a fridge and freezer with milk, butter and bacon and eggs etc.
The freezer stocks local sourced Purbeck ice cream all flavours personally endorsed by my other half!
Bridport town is a 20 minute walk and The Symondsbury Estate is another little treasure a 10 minute walk down the Lane, unfortunately the local pub the Illchester Arms was closed whilst we were there but has some very good reviews of it on trip advisor.
Overall a great site for exploring this part of Dorset, would I return yes without a doubt!

Great location within easy walking distance of Bridport which holds a brilliant market on Wednesday and Saturday.
We visited on a Saturday and it was very lively with a good range of independent stalls and indeed shops in the town.
Many other walks direct from the site and a good pub at Symondsbury just 20 minute stroll away. We walked to the coast at Eype mouth and west bay.
Excellent clean facilities and very helpful owner Nicola. Lovely views from the picnic tables provided and Jacob sheep and their lambs were a bonus!
Although there was road noise from the A35 it didn’t detract from our stay and certainly wasn’t loud enough to disturb our sleep.
Please don’t be put off by the metered electricity - we were here for 5 nights and only spent £6. We used fridge, microwave most evenings and usual phone and camera charging.
We will definitely return !

Fabulous site, very well maintained, beautiful surroundings,
Not our first stay, but can't express enough on how quaint this site is,
Lovely, tidy and clean site, Facilities are too,
Welcome basket with homemade Dorset apple cake,
Lovely little gem of a site, beautiful views of Colmers Hill and surrounding countryside,
Short walk to the local pub Illchester Arms in Symondsbury, welcoming open fire after a long walk,
Symondsbury itself is worth a visit as it has a lovely cafe and courtyard of local produce,
Will be back next month,
Nic and Adam always around if required and very friendly and helpful

Excellent site, very efficient from booking, clear instructions e-mailed regarding arrival. Met Nic on the afternoon of our arrival so friendly and welcoming
Lovely pitches, two shower, toilet and sink rooms which were immaculate
Metered electric which cost about £3. 00 per day due to the high cost of electric at the moment
Only down side is the road noise but it did not spoil our stay
Will definitely be using again

This is the second time I have been, 4 years apart. It is good to see how much more professional the site has now become.
If you read other reviews you will get a feel of the site. But to bemoan the likes of washing up facilities is harsh.
It is a small site and caters for units that all have their own facilities.
Yes the electric meter eats money and it could make for an expensive stay other than the summer.
The owners are lovely, the location is ideal, the pub is great and the sheep are friendly.

Agree with JDTD and Syldow, but unfortunately we have deducted points for a few niggles, which are possibly our own fault.
I had booked 2 pitches for ourselves and my sister in law, but although we didn't specify to be together we made the presumption that with one person booking 2 pitches we might be next to each other, this was not the case.
The other niggle was no washing up area, again something we hadn't noticed was absent when reading site details.
We had no trouble finding the site, excellent directions had been sent to us.
Yes, the road could be heard but didn't disturb us.

Booked site early in year ? March, on recommendation. Pitches are generous and face Colmer Hill. 2 unisex shower and toilet, with 50p charge for shower. These were kept clean.
Disappointed with the information shed, where you could collect the welcome pack. Most of the info was about places to eat - I was hoping to find leaflets on local tourist attractions and walking guides.
I did mention walking guides to the owner later, and she pointed out that a leaflet was pinned on the wall. I wanted the guide to take with me so I could refer to it.
Unfortunately the electric was on meter, of which I was not aware of when I booked. If I had been aware I would not have made the booking. Since COVID we don’t carry cash so I had only 2 £1 coins on me.
Despite only having the fridge on I was woken up by the loss of power at 0530, and every morning for our stay despite putting more coins in. It did not add to the idea of a restful holiday.
I gather that the price per night had been reduced because of the introduction of metering, but I’d prefer to pay up front and not have to worry about having cash and the power running out.
The entrance is not well signposted. There is a small sign about 8” square partly obscured by vegetation with the site name on.
We approached from the A35 from Honiton, its a sharp left turn - before the caravan has straightened up the site is a sharp right turn and we missed it.
The lane narrows sharply after the turning for the site drive and turning a 7. 3m caravan around on a narrow road neither endeared me to the locals nor helped my peace of mind.
The view from the pitch was stunning, and the Jacob sheep interesting.
The walk to the local pub was easy and worth the walk.
