We have just got back from a 10 day tour of Somerset and Devon, which we started at this wonderful site, Waterrow Touring Park. The owners Lynette and Jamie really are great hosts and keep the park and its facilities in very nice order.
When we arrived we were warmly greeted by Lynette and were given a choice of pitches, we picked one by the woodland walk near the river and upgraded to a fully serviced pitch as we had all the gear. Setting up was easy as the water supply and grey waste are located in the bottom left corner of the pitch.
The facilities inside the Barn are spotless and included everything you would ever need during your stay. We really liked the photo board which gives a full history of the park. We also liked the Swift cam which showed the comings and goings of the nesting birds, it’s on top of the freezer.
We could not get a mobile phone signal, but the free WiFi is very good so we used Skype.
Wiviliscombe is a nice village with some good shops, the local pub The Rock has mixed reviews and that was our experience, good food, not so good service, but it is within walking distance.
Will we return again, yes without a doubt? Waterrow is a great touring park which is well laid out in a beautiful location and is run by two very friendly and helpful people and that’s what really counts.
Member of the Tranquil Touring Parks Group and adults only. Jamie and Lynette Cook took over the Park at the end of 2013 and are now into their second full year. We received a very friendly welcome from Lynette when we arrived for our 11 day stay and were shown a selection of fully serviced pitches to choose from. Both Lynette & Jamie always had a friendly word and kept the facilities very clean. Nothing appeared to be too much trouble and the Park was one of the most pleasant places we have stayed on in over 30 years of caravanning. We wish them all the very best for the future.
There are many walks direct from the site including their own woodland walk along the River Tone. The views to the hills from your pitch are magnificent and you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A wonderful place to relax. There are small supermarkets (Spar & Co-Op) in Wiveliscombe, 3 miles away, for provisions. There is a local pub, The Rock Inn, a short walk away which has a good reputation for food.
The only downside (for some people, not us!) is the lack of mobile signal. However, the site does have a good wifi connection (paid for). TV signal is poor but there are connections on the pitch so a co-ax cable will be required.
We definitely hope this will not be our last visit.
Fantastic site, friendly owners who made us very welcome. Showers & toilets were really clean and warm with added touches of flowers and even air fresheners in each toilet. We will definitely return again this year as the surroundings are stunning with plenty of walks. The only downfall was that the local pub was closed for refurbishment, however we had a fantastic Valentine meal at The White Hart in Wiverliscombe. Great location, great people, great all round. Just our type of site, well done Jamie and Lynette and best wishes for the coming months with your additional fully serviced pitches.
We stayed on this site over the New Year. The site is in a lovely location, although quite isolated (3m from nearest shop). Upon arrival we were shown to our pitch which backed onto wood & river below (far below, so no danger of flooding). The pitch did not have a tv hookup but the next one did & our cable would not reach, the warden then offered us a longer one which I thought we would borrow, but no he charged us £15 to buy it. I did ask if we could move pitches but there was no answer so I assumed that they must be full. At the end of the week one other motorhome took the pitch next to us for one night only, so I was very disappointed to have the extra financial outlay when I feel we could have moved before we had set everything up (i. E awning). I also asked if I could buy some milk, but they didn't have a supply as such, but offered me a 4pt bottle. They said they don't keep food supplies at that time of yr. I accept that they wouldn't want to stock up on everything but surely knowing that they had bookings & the nearest shops are 3m away, they could at least carry some essential, bread, butter, milk etc. I'm not sure that I would rate this as a 5* site as I felt the shower & cleaning areas were a bit dated, although very clean and it lacked a personal cleaning cubicle for ladies. The local pub just down the road was very popular & on our only visit there we were quite happy with the food. Overall we enjoyed our stay, it is lovely & peaceful, the dog walk is very good & we managed to do a lot of walking, thanks to the weather, we thought the area was lovely, but feel it is unlikely that we would return mainly due to the fact that it is a bit too remote for us.
What a gem of a site, can only make positive review feedback. Greeted by Jamie and Lynette on arrival whom were very helpful throughout our stay, always around working to keep everything up together. Pitch was great, near the river so easy to excercise our dog, needed hammer for awning pegs(rubber mallet not enough). All facilities in the barn were spotless, many nice little touches(umbrella stand, magazines, washing up cloth).
Nice walks around the local lanes, Rock Pub serves excellent food and walking distance. Also had lovely river walk from Tarr Steps nearby.
Not one for going to the same place twice, but may make an exception with Waterrow.
Stayed here four four nights in good weather. We had a great welcome by the staff. The pitches were well spaced and we didn't feel squashed together although it was fairly busy, with caravans and motor homes coming and going. It was a very peaceful site, which is what we wanted. The facilities were great, clean with spacious shower cubicles. There were washing/drying facilities also which we didn't use, but all looked clean and well cared for.
From here we could easily explore the north and south coasts. We visited Linton and Lynmouth and Ilfracombe. We also went south to Seaton and Sidmouth. Nearby Wiviliscombe has a few high quality food shops.
All in all a great site for exploring the area. I only wish there had been room for us to store our caravan here.
One possible downside for some was the phone signal was none existent, not the fault of the staff! The internet was ok however, and good value at £5 a week.
Stuck in the middle of nowhere, but a quiet site for adults only. Friendly staff. Easy walk to local pub and resident staff booked a table in the pub restaurant for us. Toilet, shower and laundry block very clean and tidy. Designated hard standing with grassed area. We took the local bus to Wivelscombe and it dropped us right outside the site.
Approach - really easy to find, follow the web site instructions, good access - nobody can ever complain about access - we were there the week a 60 foot cabin arrived !
Staff on arrival - this was the best welcome we have ever had on any site, informative, welcoming and very caring. We were shown to our pitch which personally I'm very grateful for, you know you are setting up on the correct pitch and you can glean any hints and tips to pitching and the site as you chat.
Pitch - we had a fully serviced hard standing pitch with awning, we love pitches that are divided by greenery - much better than feeling like you're in a caravan car park, and this pitch certainly offered that.
Facilities - plenty of showers, roomy with lots of hot water, (push button) very clean. Laundry, washing up area, coffee machine, computer and pay phone - WiFi is £5. 00 for a week - it was nice to see a reasonable charge which I didn't mind paying at all.
Local area -plenty off lovely walks from the site and a short drive to many more, small town near by with the usual - the rock pub a few hundred yards and the food was great. Wellington a little further away with a waitrose etc
In summary -very well looked after spacious site that has everything you could ever need.
We would like to wish Jamie and lynette every success with Waterrow. Their hard work and commitment is exceptional.
Was this site for us - yes, we loved it here, you really could hear a pin drop, so so peaceful, felt really safe, I've found it hard doing this review as it was just perfect and I was aware I would sound terribly gushing if I wasn't careful ! Highly recommend it.
I was very disappointed with this site because as soon as we got their the owner told us there was no mobile signal and also the signal for the television was poor so we bought a 25mtr cable to try and improve the channels but unfortunately we couldn't get ITV the pitch was on a slope so was the hook-up also the approach to the site ie. Roads and lanes were very dangerous to drive on with tree branches hanging over the road forcing motorhomes and caravans to drive basically in the middle of the road I must say this is the worst site I have stayed on and needless to say will not be going back and finally the reception is only open for one and half hours in the morning and one hour in the afternoon.
Have recently become the owner of a small caravan and was very nervous about the whole thing - so wanted to find a reasonably 'local' site for trial run. How lucky I was to pick Waterrow as.
A) it is a lovely site (adults only, low key - in a very positive way, lovely location, a beautiful 'on site' woodland walk along the R Tone- as a small babbling riverette with wild orchids, foxgloves, kingfishers - and all requisite facilities - clean, good working order, etc. ) and for me. B) Jamie and Lynnette - the new owners - couldn't have been more helpful. Jamie came to 'check' that I was ok and offered loads of useful hints! In fact, I loved the whole experience so much I left the van on a 'store' situation (your van is removed by Jamie to a 'safe' location - in an adjoining field with all the required regulations - and then returned to your pitch as and when required!) and have just returned to spend another week there - and will return again! Loads of beautiful areas to visit - Exmoor, the North Somerset coast (Minehead, Porlock, Lynton & Lynmouth, the Minehead to Bishop's Lydeard steam railway), local reservoirs, etc. Etc. ' Wivvy' is a v pleasant small town (Co-op and Spar) and various other small shops - all you need!
No, I am not a 'family friend' writing a 'brilliant' review - it is seriously a lovely site and with lovely owners who deserve to do well - but seeing how many people stay there, don't think that will be a problem!
What a lovely camp site. My husband and myself were touring the West Country and found this site online, we booked in for one night as we wanted to explore and travel as much as possible in our 2 weeks away. We ended up here for 4 nights.
Lynette and Jamie (the owners) were so helpful and friendly.
The campsite itself is very well kept, with rugged walks just a stones throw away. There is a river walk and a meadow near by, which was ideal for taking our dog for a good exercise.
The Rock pub is just five minutes walk, we didn't eat there but it was friendly. Wivelscombe is a short drive away, with shops and a few pubs, The Bear is a lovely pub with a great beer garden. The facilities at the site are very good, nice and clean too. We drove to Exmoor a couple of times, we headed for Winsford and asked for directions to be able to wander freely, it was 5 minutes drive from there. All in all, it was the best part of our holiday. We wish Jamie and Lynette all the best and would like to say that all that hard work is paying off.
Excellent peaceful site with spotless facilities. Wonderful hosts. This is a quiet part of Somerset with excellent walking. The site is on the West Deane Way Footpath. Good golf courses nearby and the local pub serves good food. Follow the directions on the web site and access is easy. Dulverton is worth a visit and Wimbleball lake has a 9 mile footpath all around it that is easy to follow (use one of the carparks not at the cafe then you can get refreshments en route). For the less mobile if you park at the cafe there is a surfaced path all the way to the dam about 3/4 of a mile away.
Came here as part of the deal when we purchased our new van from Highbridge Caravans. What a little gem, the owners are making lots of improvements and listen carefully to any suggestions you may have. Only here for 4 nights but really enjoyed the peace and quiet and excellent facilities. Visited Minehead, Lynton and Lynmouth, Taunton and Wellington all of which are within easy distance. The Rock Inn nearby is a great place to eat not cheap but excellent food.
Just spent 4 nights here at this beautiful site close to a lovely 'old fashioned ' village (Wivaliscombe), well worth a visit as is Dulverton, where you must try Farthings farm shop/café! The coffee is excellent. As for the site itself I can only confirm all the good things previously said about it. The owners are the perfect hosts and are working very hard to make this the perfect getaway. Have already booked a return visit. Ideal for motor homers as the bus service is very reliable, if you can drag yourself away from the peace and tranquillity! Well done.
This is a Best of British adult only site, B.O.B have a very high standard and this site has, read some of the other reviews.
Attractively landscaped park all hard standing with scrubs and trees to give some privacy if required.
Close to Exmoor, only a short drive into Wiveliscombe and a pub a short walk away that does food.
The owners who only took over the site recently couldn't have been more helpful but at the same time left you alone to enjoy your stay.
A peaceful, friendly and well looked after site. We both needed to chill out and that's exactly what you can do here.
Will we go back, of course we will.

We have just got back from a 10 day tour of Somerset and Devon, which we started at this wonderful site, Waterrow Touring Park. The owners Lynette and Jamie really are great hosts and keep the park and its facilities in very nice order.
