 This is a small site. The wardens pitch your caravan and your car is parked at the car park. They say this is to keep noise to a minimum but in fact the pitches are quite small and would look overcrowded should everyone park their car there. Be aware, if you love the sun, a lot of the pitches, as ours was are in the shade in the afternoon due to the high trees. The site idea of having all en suite bathrooms sounds good but. They are fairly small and it's not pleasant. The ventilation is quite poor, so imagine following after someone! There are no extra toilets. Staff were pleasant. The village is very near with a shop and a pub. The mendip hills are great for walkers. Wells, Cheddar, Bath are well worth a visit. Probably would not return to this site

Great site, good for adults, but a 20 minute drive to park and ride and then 10 minute + journey into Bath. Lovely individual fully serviced bathrooms, 10 in all. Clean and modern with shower, vanity unit, hooks toilet rolls etc. , etc. , spotless. Only comment which didn't happen for us but could in the busy season was what if all bathroom units were full and you just needed a toilet? and if all the bathroom pods were fully occupied there was nowhere to go! Nice to see that all dogs were on leads a great plus for us as not everyone likes dogs! Very informative library/information centre on site. Yes would definitely visit again.

Booked into this site based on the reviews. On arrival we were shown to a pebble covered pitch, however, even with the largest chocs (which moved as the pebbles rolled with the weight of the vehicle so not at all safe) it made no difference to the level at all. Shown to another pitch which was flat (not in the best of condition though) but lacked any light/sunshine because of the surrounding hedges and trees which are in abundance on this site so the tv signal not too good! Very little grassed open areas and where there are they are very soft and boggy due to the location of the lake we believe? The toilet block is a little dated with shower curtains which allows water to cascade all over the floor outside of the showers. I personally found the facilities very dark and claustrophobic with just a tiny window to allow air in/out and didn't use them for this reason. On a positive note there are a few nice light and open pitches near the fishpond ( if you can get them) and a small enclosed area for walking dogs. We decided to change our plans and stay for one night only as this site just wasn't for us, too enclosed with greenery, however, the older generation seemed to like it.

Absolutely agree with the description of this site. It is a great site and it is in a lovely location. I would like to expand on one crucial detail though and this is of particular importance to motor homers. When the facilities mention public transport 1M away they forget to add that buses to Bath are limited. To one day per week. When one bus goes through the village (Bishop Sutton). The day in question is Tuesday and the time of the bus is round about 9. 00 AM. Personally I think this is very poor for a site that says it is located in Bath and Bath being 13 miles away. Something else to consider is that Chew Valley lake is only accessible from the site down a narrow windy road with no footpath and very few places to dive into when one of the locals comes haring round a corner. As I say a lovely site but we won't be going back. Shame really because I was really looking forward to visiting this site given all the build up and praise it gets. However there's no substitute for going to have a look yourself and I'm glad I can tick this one off my list.

Was apprehensive about visiting after reading some of the negative reviews, however it is one of the best sites we have stayed on. Staff very friendly and helpful, really clean well maintained site. The washroom/toilets were lovely and warm, better than a lot of hotels we have stayed in. They are all self contained with hairdryer, hand drier, they are unisex but as they are all private it's not important, The people that complained about this should try the campsite toilets in France ! where we spend a lot of time.

I have to give a low rating for this site purely because of the cost. It was £29 for 2 adults and a dog, EHU. For one night. Gobsmacked. We had intended to wild camp down at the Chew Valley Lake picnic area, but found out they were going to lock the gates at sunset and would probably kick us out, so didn't want to risk opening the wine. This site was the closest one, and with a whinging dog in the van we really couldn't face the prospect of driving around a bit longer to find a nice layby. So we paid :(.
The dog walking area is tiny, basically a narrow fenced strip around a little woodland area (no dogs allowed in that bit :(). Dogs on lead on site, rubbish. I guess there are decent walks close by.
Free wi fi for 30 minutes then you have to pay. On top of the 29 quid they've just had off us, no chance. Free internet access in the library, this is a nice touch but why not just give us free wi fi so we can surf from the comfort of our van?!
Showers and loos clean and roomy. Dish washing room nice and spacious.
You can't choose your own pitch. They ask you to put awnings up on gravel, not on the grass. Pretty weird, I'm glad we weren't staying long enough to put the awning up, would've been ouchy on the feet. Check-out time 11am.

Well this was a first for us staff tow your van in and level it. Toilets are all individual but the showers kept dropping pressure, well kept site grass cut and flowers watered only problem with this site is the adults that have to empty there grey water at 7-00am going over the stoney road and waking us up, we don't all go to bed at 9-00pm I do not think it warrants £40 per night

Best, most friendly staff we have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Very accommodating for our unavoidable pre 2pm entry.
Beautifully kept gardens are a credit to the wardens. There is a lovely little pond full of goldfish in the 'posher area'.
Toilet suites clean and improve in standard towards the reception area. Sadly dogs not allowed off lead even on small 'Puppy Parade' dog walk. With two Labradors to exercise I was pleased I was staying only the one night as the lake was also full of 'Dogs to be kept on leads!' signs. No cycling signs by the lake too! The roads are narrow and unsafe to walk or leisure cycle.
In budget pitch. Still room to sit at the side of the motorhome but on gravel. Not a problem. No TV reception after 6pm due to being between two masts apparently (?)
Ate at the Malt n Salt chippy by the lakeside. Decent food with lovely view.
Found a lovely farm shop, café and antiques business 5 mins drive down the road.
Would return but only for a one nighter me thinks.

We were very disappointed with this site - mostly because of what it promised and it is rated amongst the highest in the UK with many organisations. I have never written a negative review before but I'd like to help others to be aware of what to expect as we feel misled.
We just can't understand how it achieves the high number of awards and ratings because in our view this is a very average site.
My number one requirement for a site is a clean and warm toilet/shower block and the site describes their facilities as 'luxurious'. They are truly not. In my cubicle the shower curtain didn't reach the bottom of the shower and the spray was so wide that it soaked me and my clothes before I got in and my whole cubicle got flooded. This wasn't a leak. There was rust on the shower rail, radiator and mirror and there was a toilet brush that had half a handle and had seen better days. The water flow and temperature had surges and my husband said the same. In the morning, two cubicles were unusable because of flooding. There are eight cubicles in a pebble dashed shed like building with doors that lead directly out to the car park. The whole block needs a good refurbish to bring it up to date.
The site itself is tidy, free internet on the computer in their information room but you have to pay extra for wifi. The laundry and dishwash area is basic. The dog walking area is very small. Surrounding area is lovely - 12 miles from Bath.
If this site advertised and charged according to what it actually has to offer, I would be a bit fed up because of the shower/toilet but I wouldn't feel conned. We had just left The Old Oaks in Glastonbury that has practically the same rating but that is beautiful, luxurious and deserves every award it gets.

Stayed for almost a full week, site is quiet with only minimal noise in the evenings, surprisingly you can hear the planes from Bristol airport in the distance. Free view no problem didn't need the tv point, ee phone signal virtually non existent so if you need to stay in touch you will need to pay for the wifi connection. Had no problem with access to the private bathrooms throughout our stay and someone was always cleaning them. Local pub best summed up by a villager ' its a pub charging restaurant prices' small post office had surprisingly large range of essentials at reasonable prices, good job too nearest good size supermarket was in Midsomer Norton. Ideally placed for all the Abbey's in the region don't forget. Downside its as good as any of the well known one's in the area. Tried to take a walk around the lake but had to give up due to swarms of mosquito type insects.
If you want a quiet site and are well provisioned this is the site for you, all the staff were excellent and very helpful, had no problems with the caravan being moved by on site staff no waiting either on arrival or departure.
