 Oh Dear! We arrived on the site after a long journey in traffic jams and needed to find something special.

The cream tea was a bonus but the welcome and our pitch left a bit to be desired.

The toilets were dirty and the facilities were far short of what there should be for the number of units that were pitched. Only two showers (50p) and shared washing spaces and no hot water.

We also were unable to find the chemical and grey waste emptying points after a good search.

A fun site for a weekend camping but not for any longer I'm afraid. It is a shame because the potential is great and a bit of effort would really improve things and make this a lovely spot to stop over for Bath, the canal and other attractions.

Also a bit pricey for what we got. We can recommend the Friday night wood fired pizza and cider though which sort of made up for things!

Reviewer: Yorkshiremummy 1 review from this member

 Main site remains lovely but we found ourselves in ‘Tagglemead’ which seemed to be an overflow field and is not suitable as a campsite in my opinion.

The road noise was horrendous, and continued throughout the night meaning we had to purchase ear plugs to get any sleep!

Field was also used as a dog walking / toileting space which wasn’t great if you’re not a dog lover.

We asked to move but were told there was no space however others just moved - the site wasn’t patrolled in any way so more fool us, we should have just moved without asking!

Goats were a great hit with the kids so a positive!

 Lovely place to stay. River was perfect for the little one to play in and to have a swim.

Fishing wasn't very successful.

Clean facilities. Other campers were lovely, happy and whole site was nice to walk around and explore and play.

 Didn't spend a great deal of time here but site was perfectly fine for us.

I would say it's a good site for kids and there were plenty of them all having a good time in the river.

Showers toilets all OK. Owners seemed fine very relaxed atmosphere.

I didn't get any food but thought the pizza oven coffee van and meat packages were a good idea

 The river was only a few feet from our tent which was nice but its a but murky though.

Nothing really was nearby or a walk away so you need to drive for food or shops.

We were looking forward to the home cooked pizzas but unfortunately the owner was only cooking for his friends on the evening we wanted it.

But overall a enjoyable stay.

 Absolutely lovely place! Campsite at a historic farm and mill house, in the meadows along the beautiful mill stream.

The gorgeous old buildings provide the picturesque backdrop to the grass camping fields.

Cream teas in the farm house and -oh joy- fresh cappuccinos from a little coffee wagon near the showers!

Facilities are charming, clean, and work very well, although 50 pence pieces are needed for the showers.

There are artists’ studios in parts of the buildings that seem to offer various work-shops and courses. I met someone who was camping and attending a glass making course ( which sounded fab).

Bath and lots of National Trust properties nearby. Amazing food at castle Farm Cafe, 10 minutes drive at Midford.

 Positives: A lovely site next to the river. It's very peaceful and you can play in/on the river and the swimming area. The site itself is completely flat. We didn't camp last year so I'm a little out of touch with current prices but it seemed quite cheap to me.

You pay £7 each for unit and person so our son on his own in a tent paid £14 per night whereas we paid £24 for leccie, caravan and 2 people. It has sinks for washing and washing up with lots of leaflets detailing local attractions.

The cream teas are "proper" you get lashings of strawberry jam, cream and two scones with a pot of tea which holds at least 2 cups. We ordered 1 cream tea, 1 scone, an elderflower cordial and an orange juice which came to £9. Bargain.

Negatives: the showers are a tad dubious.

Radstock mining museum is worth a visit and Frome is lovely for shopping and local markets. Bath, Bristol and Longleat are very close.

 2nd visit to this wonderful site. Nothing has changed much. Such a great little site. Ideal for touring(as the Europeans use it for)or just chilling. Even on the weekend when it was packed it was still so nice just sitting outside the Tent admiring the views and watching the World go by.

Cream Teas are still to die for, the addition of meat packs that can be bought from the reception is a great idea. We just had the Burgers and Sausages but they were delicious and great value.

The owners were very apologetic when they had to ask us if we could possible have our Tent packed away by 9am on the Friday as they were having a Marquee erected for a Wedding where we had pitched our Tent.

We didn't mind at all and the free Cream Tea that we got as compensation was a nice touch.

Would recommend this site to anyone with or without children.

Will be visiting again next year.

 Step back in time. Situated on the Wiltshire/Somerset border Stowford Manor is a basic but special little site.

There are two camping fields of medium size, the main field is flanked by the old 15th century manor to one side and has the River Frome flowing past behind it, this is the nicer field l would say, the other 'cricket' field doesn't have the same views and is closer to the road.

The manor house is reception and also home to a tea room where they serve cream teas (freshly baked scones smelt delicious but we didn't partake), the outdoor seating area was more shabby than chic unfortunately and the plastic furniture could be improved and create a nicer ambiance.

Facilities wise there were only 3 unisex toilets, clean but basic with a slightly quirky feel, this continued through to the 2 showers, again unisex and quirky, being situated quite literally in the cow shed. Cobbled floor an all! Nice little touches with the old wooden furniture, fresh flowers on the picture window etc, but not sure if this was a step too far? l like to see clean bleached tiles and it was a bit dark and dingy in there, though definitely unique which l do appreciate.

The old manor is now a bit ramshackle with some parts being lodged in by the lovely white Doves, part is used by local craft businesses which is nice. The resident Ducks and Chickens were charming to see and l loved waking up to the smell of the wild garlic by the river each morning.

One evening we saw two of the river swimmers swimming past our pitch, there is a river swimming club a few fields up and we walked up there and saw the beautiful weir (you can join). There was some road noise but not enough to bother you.

Unusually once we had paid/ booked in we never saw the owners/staff on the camping field once. I enjoyed the relaxed historical feel of this quite special little site and despite the basic facilities l am looking forward to return visits for more of the same.

 Lovely site, very simple and relaxed. Showers quite quirky! Facilities simple. Site very spacious with a river running through, hours of fun!

You can also join the river swimming club one of the last surviving, access to swim is a few fields along and was great, kingfishers and dragonflies spotted whilst swimming.

Plus cream teas are available at the main house, delicious.

Road near the site is busy but its easy to find quiet roads for cycling, and walks.
