Nice site and so peaceful, easy to find just 20 minutes off the m5. Showers and toilets spotless, laundry and small shop on site, milk bread etc.
We had a very nice 3 nights here, lots of walks for the dogs and a pub just a few minutes walk out of the gate, with set meals at a good price.
Chard and Taunton within easy commute would recommend and will be returning to this site again.

This is a great little site, small, well laid out and well-kept. We stayed over the late May bank holiday (four of us plus dog, in two tents). Friendly but unobtrusive owners were ready with offers of hot drinks on our arrival (a nice touch!).
Lots of mature trees on the site and lush grass. As two units, with cars, the owners told us we were free to arrange our tents and cars however it suited us in the available space (unlike some other sites we've stayed on, where we've been told to park the cars on the most level and dry part of the pitch!).
Very clean toilets and shower block with no charge for showers (bring your own soap dish as we couldn't find one!) and use of a large fridge (almost exclusive use, as we were in a tent and nearly all the other campers were in caravans or campers with their own fridges).
The shop is small but it stocks most basic essentials and we thought the goods were very reasonably priced. There's a pub a short walk away, but we didn't use it this time. There were lot of dogs on the site when we were there, but all were tethered except for the older ones who didn't stray or bother anybody. The free wi-fi was down when we arrived but was working again the following day (and there's a good signal on the Orange network).
A fantastic walk goes through many acres of forest almost directly opposite the site. The traffic past the site is fast and there's no footpath but it takes literally a minute to walk to the forest, which is well worth walking - we took the left hand path down and there were acres and acres of wild garlic in flower throughout the lower part of the wood (it looks beautiful and the scent is wonderful), with little brooks here and there - and when we took the right hand path, bluebells were still in abundance in the higher part of the wood. The views of the Blackdown hills are lovely.
We did a whistle-stop tour of Wellington (which has lots of little shops, a Co-Op supermarket and an intriguing Steptoe's yard-type junk shop hidden down an alleyway) and Hemyock, a pretty Devon village. But if you enjoy walking you could stay on this site for a few days, leave the car behind and just roam around the nearby woods and hills without really having to go anywhere else - however, take waterproof footwear, as it's deeply boggy in places - and take a map or a compass, as we should have done, as after a few hours' wandering one tree looks very much like another. There's also a sort of art exhibition along some of the trails, with funny little objects popping up randomly (though other than providing a talking point, we couldn't quite see its purpose!).
We had a great time and will definitely visit this site again.

We stayed here in October 2009 also, what a lovely peaceful site. Clean and well run with basic showers & toilets but with the little touches that make it a wonderful site. Don't go if you want bars and noise but do go for the lovely views and very nice lady owner.
Also free to walk the farm where it is situated (around the edges of the fields as a working farm).
The shops, pubs and restaurants of Wellington are only a few miles away. Where again you will feel most welcome by truly hospitable locals.

The site is so well placed for getting out and about in the Taunton area. It's always clean and well kept.
It's mainly aimed at touring vans with lots of hard standing pitches but between all these is room for tents to pitch.
Its a lovely blend as you get a peace and quiet that you don't normally get when you're in a field full of tents, sounds travels etc.
Because there are limited tents and more tourers you don't tend to here voices and other noise associated with a campsite which suits us down to the ground, literally
The road next to the site is pretty quiet and only really starts to get traffic on it at around 7am and even that is light.
We've visited loads of campsites but Holly Bush remains our favourite one.

This was our first camping experience, if all camp sites are like Holly Bush Park we are really going to enjoy camping. We were met on arrival and the first thing we were asked was if we wanted a cup of tea
The toilets & shower were spotless. There is a great wood across the road from the camp site, we could walk the dog and there's a pub next door that serve the best cider and chips we had in the area.

Loved it! What can I say.
It was a 3 hour journey from Manchester to get to Taunton and Hollybush. We arrived a little early at about 8:20am Saturday morning but we made very welcome, shown to pour pitch and we given a very welcome brew :o) Thanks for that.
The campsite is mainly aimed at caravan owners with not that many tent pitches. That said the tent pitches we excellent and covered in grass (not bald like some campsites) which made them pretty comfy to sleep on.
The site was fantastically relaxing and quiet to stay at.
The showers and toilets are basic but they are clean and work well.
You're only about 2 miles outside one of the most gorgeous places I've been too. Corfe. Very friendly people and a great pub.
About 4 miles from Taunton town centre which is awesome for shopping, including a large Sainsburys. The atmosphere here is lovely, the people are probably the most friendly of anywhere I've ever been.
All in all I'd give the site a good 8/10 only let down a little by the showers BUT like I said its mainly aimed at caravan owners.
Totally recommend Somerset as a place to visit and Hollybush site is a perfect base for you to stay at.
Will definitely stay again.Many times.

A very small but cosy site with good toilet/ shower facilities. There is even a small site shop. There are more caravans and motor homes here than tents. More often than not the toilet/shower block was empty and you never needed to wait to use them.
The only possible negative is that being on a hill it does appear to have its own micro-climate; it seems to rain a lot ! Some of the regular long stayers backed this up, saying that rain was a feature of the site. The ground remained very wet during our stay.
There is no where really for kids to play and the site rules tend to discourage this anyway - this wasn't an issue for us as we only use the site as a base for trips out.

We stayed two nights on the site but wished we could have stayed longer.
The owners were very friendly and helpful as were other users on the site. The facilities were very clean. There is a small shop on site but for any bigger requirements I would recommend attending a larger store before going to site especially if like us you don't have a car.
Although no playground our two children (8 and 13) were not bored and played with other children on site.
The surrounding area was beautiful. We visited the local pub for lunch on the Sunday and the people there were very friendly and the food was great.
Overall a lovely site for relaxing and getting away from it all, we would definitely book again.

I would like to echo a lot of the other reviews on this site, cup of tea on arrival, clean friendly etc. The local pub is great, and just a short drive to Churchinford provided us with the ingredients for a good English breakfast all local produce, did I mention it too had a pub. Also the Pub in Bishopswood is well worth a visit. Across the lane is a lovely woodland walk which was great for us and the dog.
The only negative, that cockerel, it started about 3. 30am and went on until about 10. 00am.

Arrived at this site late Thursday afternoon just as a rain shower started and was offered a very welcome cup of tea by the very friendly owner, Rachel, while we waited for the rain to stop, which it did just long enough to get the tent on the ground before turning into a deluge! The pitch allocated to us was very shaded under 2 very large trees which blocked out a great deal of light.
Other pitches in more open spaces were available but seemed to be 'reserved' for people arriving the next day. The ground was extremely stony and we bent several plastic and steel pegs trying to get the tent set up properly.
The site itself is very well maintained although the grass had recently been cut, so with the rain it was very difficult to keep grass out of the tent. The toilet block was very clean with unlimited hot water and excellent electric showers and washing facilities for dishes and clothes.
The site was very busy but we did not have to queue at all. We only visited the nearby pub for a drink and were disappointed that they were unable to provide coffee and had no crisps but they do offer some very cheap meals in the evenings!
Unfortunately for us, the weather was atrocious and an fortuitous / urgent request to return early to work meant we had to cut our visit short by one night. We are still trying to get the tent and groundsheet clean and dry!
The site is well positioned for exploring the area and I would certainly recommend to others and return myself with the hope of better weather.
