Reviewer: LukeS 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a fantastic 5 nights at this site.

The site was well laid out and kept to a high standard. Toilets / showers were always clean, with plenty to choose from.

The site was really quiet by/before 10:30pm every night (except a little noise from the road), which helped with tired kids. You do get used to the noise from the road quite quickly though.

The owner gave us various options of where we would like to pitch, so we could keep an eye on the kids whilst in the play area.

I like the idea of the lighting on the field, it saved the hassle of having a lantern on all night for the kids, and also meant no searching for a torch in the middle of the night for a trip to the bathroom.

All major attractions / beaches in the area were just a short drive away. Turn left out the site and you're in Dorset, turn right and you're in Devon.

In essence, we as a family really loved this site and will definitely be returning next year.

 We have just come back from a 4 night stay in a tent.

We had two boys with us aged 11 and 5 and they loved the site, it's play area and crazy golf.

Lovely flat ground, clean toilets and showers with plenty of hot water.

The staff were really lovely and friendly and the shop was very handy as was the book case full of second hand books for sale.

Only gripe would be the street lights are quite bright and left on all night which I guess some people would like but we didn't and the site is adjacent to a noisy and somewhat busy road.

 We have just returned from a 6 night stay at Shrubbery, lovely site with good size pitches. Lovely hot showers. Great park and golf for the children. Very friendly staff, a lovely little shop too.

This is our second trip here, this time it was Lyme Regis regatta week, great park and ride to the cobb. Our children loved going crabbing on the cobb.

We are returning for the August bank holiday as we love it so much

 We have just returned from a 2 night stay at this site. We had 2 tents and a gazebo. The site is very well laid out with plenty of shower/toilet facilities which are spotless. The showers have good pressure and plenty of hot water.

The pitches are a good size, flat and well drained with or without electric. The reception has a small shop with essentials and gifts and there are washing/drying machines too.

The staff are very nice and polite and drive around the site in a golf buggy regularly. There is a kids park and crazy golf.

There are no local pubs within easy walking distance however Lyme Regis is a short distance by car. This is a beautiful resort with nice places to eat.

We would definitely use the site again and if I were to have one complaint it would be that there are bright street lights on the site which blaze all night spoiling the natural ambiance.

Reviewer: Dougmcewan 1 review from this member

 Really enjoyed a 4 day stay at shrubbery. The kids had a ball and met plenty of friends.

The pitch was generous and flat - everybody we met on the site was really friendly and we would recommend the site for families.

The toilets and showers were clean every time we visited and of a very good standard.

The warden was always on hand and really helpful, organising a really enjoyable jubilee party.

Lyme regis is about 2 miles away and there is a great beach there - the kids loved it.

We will definitely be going back

Reviewer: Sparkyj 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a weeks holiday here and loved it. There were 7 of us in total in 2 tents with 4 adults and 3 children (2, 5 and 8). The owners were very helpful and made sure we were together.

We were camped by the large play area which most young families with tents seemed to be (the electric hook ups were slightly further away). This was brilliant as the children were able to play near while we kept an eye on them from the tent.

There were enough showers and toilets with 3 blocks. We found the ones near reception were best with a family as they included a toilet in each room. We also found that the washing up area near the reception were better as the water was always hot, the sinks were slightly higher and it was more sheltered when blowy!.

The pitches are flat and a there was a lovely atmosphere around the site with very cheerful and friendly staff.

We loved the surrounding area as well. We were luckily enough to be in Lyme Regis at the time of their carnival so there were lots of activities laid on like competitions for all the family, music and other fundraising events.

The beach at Lyme is lovely with good sand castle building sand. The parking is a problem though as there is quite a walk to the car park up a steep hill but only £1. 70 for all day or £4 per car for park and ride which takes you right to the beach.

Overall we had a fantastic time and will be returning.

Reviewer: Nankys 1 review from this member

 A great friendly campsite. Quiet at night and staff helpful in pitching tips such as which way the sun rises and sets. Very limited groceries available in store.

Small grocery shop as part of petrol station next door but nearest supermarket about 5 miles away. The toilet blocks cleaned regularly and are generally very acceptable.

Only frustration is having to hold tap button down when washing hands. Showers also have a push button system and so have to keep pressing button. Some showers were too hot to stand under but others were generally ok. V

ery nice for children is the crazy golf (9 holes) which costs 75p per person.

Reviewer: Carters7 2 reviews from this member

 Extremely well kept site. The main shower/toilet block we used was good but the windows on the roof are quite large and they were left open all the time, therefore as our week's weather was not great it was at times a wee bit chilly in there.

Small shop but it had everything you needed but just out of the campsite was a small local shop attached to a garage with a wider selection.

Nice dog walk area the length of the campsite as part of the adjoining field.

Locally Lyme Regis about 15-20 mins, Seaton just 10mins with a good chinese take away and the Art Cafe which caters for vegetarians and vegan, but was outstanding!

Lyme Bay Winery about 20 mins away and well worth the visit.

Reviewer: KatoxBroad 3 reviews from this member

 Had a fabulous 10 day break at this wonderful site just outside Lyme Regis. All the staff at the site were extremely helpful and very patient trying to find us a suitable pitch.

We have a 2 year old and 7 year old and wanted a pitch away from the park for the little one but close enough for the older one to go off and play.

Having read previous reviews we were lucky to have a pitch away from the road and although noticeable at times the road does quieten down at night. The owners will try to offer you a choice of pitches but obviously with the summer holidays this can't always be done.

Plenty of toilets and showers, that were kept clean considering how busy the site was. Never used the block at the top but did use the bathroom that was brill with two young children, but would advise you to book during holidays. The shop was great with all the basic and a few extras. Laundrette was an added bonus too.

Park was great for both of our children but never found the time to try the crazy golf, perhaps next time! The baked potato van on a Thursday evening was a great addition too!

Although the site was busy it was never noisy past 10. 30 and it has a lovely family feel, with families of children of all ages.

The site is perfectly placed to explore the region and is very handy for the bus or park and ride into Lyme Regis.

Will definitely visit this site again!

Reviewer: Bruce Battams 14 reviews from this member

 We spent six nights at this very good site on the borders of Devon and Dorset. The only negative was the tepid dishwashing water the whole time.

The reception staff and facility are excellent with an adequate selection of groceries. Anything they don't have the adjacent garage has a fully stocked village shop and hairdressers.

Best quiet pitches are away from the main road. The site is well tended and mainly level. Excellent children’s play area and ambience.

The bus stop is outside the adjacent garage and only eight minutes into Lyme Regis which is delightful having had considerable investment and improvements to the promenade all the way along to the cob.

Reviewer: Harveycampers 3 reviews from this member

 Our party consisted of 1 x tent with myself, hubby, and 3 children (13, 8 & 2), and a motorhome with my parents.

On arrival to Shrubbery, we had to park along at reception to check in, and then proceeded to wait about 40 minutes (with about 5 other car loads of new arrivals) for the park owner/warden to come along on her golf buggy to show us to our pitches.

After initial changes of position (due to an indecisive park warden) we finally were able to pitch together.

The site is quite large and set in a location approximately 2-3 miles from Lyme Regis.

Most pitches are flat, and there is a central play park for the children. There is also a smallish, but clean, pitch and putt area.

The main central shower block consisted of 6 showers and 6 toilets. There is another 2 toilet cubicles, with showers in the cubicles, around the corner of the reception.

It looked like there was another shower block at the top of the site but we didn't venture up there.

The showers are fed via an antiquated hot water supply/ set up, so when someone has a shower next to you, then it is normal for your shower pressure to reduce.

The shower on the far right in the ladies was always cold.

There is open drainage in these blocks with grills above them, that had remains of hair/ grass etc running along them.

The shower curtains looked like they had been renewed this season, but the shower poles had seen better days.

There was a bucket in the corner that had old stale and dirty water in it, which stank. I would not want to use that mop to 'clean' the floors.

The toilets were not well kept.

Often the ladies sanitary units were still full from the day before, the toilet rolls were not kept replenished, toilet roll holders broken, 1 toilet was leaking for the duration of our stay, tops of doors dusty, dirty and cobwebs.

There was a toilet that was not working, and when after the 3rd day I reported to reception, the site warden said she knew and had 'forgotten' to mention it!

The reception had a small shop with basic needs, and the garage just round the corner on the main road stocked a few more items.

There is a Tesco about 6 miles away in Axminster, and a larger Morrisons in Bridport.

Despite the site, we absolutley LOVED this area! Lyme Regis is beautiful!

There is a brilliant sandy bay style beach which has lifeguards. The rock pooling next to it was a massive hit with the children.

There are some lovely cafes, pubs, ice cream shops etc along the promenade which adds to the seaside resort feel. Along the coast it gets rockier but as this is the 'Jurassic coast' the kids loved looking for fossils.

There is a public car park -(at the top of a very steep hill) £1. 60 per day to park! - but the views as you walked down to Lyme Regis seafront were stunning.

There is a park and ride car park just up from the site and one the other side of Lyme Regis - cost £4 per CAR, and this took you right down into Lyme Regis and back to your car later. Certainly saved the achy legs!

Overall, we loved the area and would definitely consider coming this way again.

The site has been given 4 stars but think due to the condition of the toilet block (almost an afterthought) we would say it would be a maximum 3 star site.

On the day we left, the site got very full so would hate to see the condition the toilet/ shower block got in??

 Have just returned from a 4 night stay at this campsite. Absolutely lovely site with excellent shower facilities & a nice play area for the kids.

Very spacious and I cannot add anymore to the previous reviews but no one seems to have mentioned about the road noise. If you pitch on the right side next to the road, it is very noisy especially at peak times.

Probably would not be a problem for caravans but tents beware. Road noise does not bother everyone but I just thought it was worth mentioning.

Would definitely return to this site, one of the best laid out & cleanest we have visited but we would pitch in a different spot next time.

Reviewer: Thelazza 6 reviews from this member

 We stayed for the whitsun half term week and I can only reiterate the many positive reviews for this great campsite. We were pitched facing the children's playground and consequently hardly saw our kids (7 & 5) all week - they were too busy having fun with their many new friends!

The staff were very friendly and seemed to take time to accommodate everyone in the most appropriate location. Lots of shrubs and hedges to create privacy. The central toilet/shower block that we used was busy but with minimal queueing - but the site appeared full so no real surprise.

The only slight negative was that the hot water for washing up struggled to keep up in the busy early evening period; I washed up in luke warm water on a couple of occasions.

The site shop and (very) local garage covered most basics, otherwise the nearest supermarkets are in Seaton (Co-op) or Axminster (Tesco). There is lots to do in the local area:

Lyme Regis - lovely but busy

Seaton - the tramway is good fun

Beer - Pecorama was great - mini steam train, model railways, beautiful gardens, kids playgrounds and a brilliant juggler/entertainer (Elvik)

Ladram Bay (west of Sidmouth) - pretty small bay with canoe/boat hire.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would particularly recommend this site to families with younger kids - ours loved it and didn't want to leave!

Reviewer: Squirrel Lirol 3 reviews from this member

 Arrived to a pleasant welcome and were shown to our pitch. As we were with friends we had adjoining pitches which were reasonably large, very flat with some hedges around for privacy.

Good location for visiting towns on the Jurassic coast but not sure about walkable amenities. However the on site shop was well stocked although some items seemed a little pricey.

Central shower and toilet block was reasonable and pretty clean considering the site seemed full. My partner appreciated the shower facilities more by the shop as they were individual rooms with a toilet and larger than the cubicles in the main facilities.

Friends children enjoyed the well maintained park and the crazy golf facilities.

Overall a decent campsite but will need to make use of your car.

Reviewer: Ben Tent 8 reviews from this member

 We have recently returned from a 4 night stay at this super site.

We were led to a pitch near the play park, which we discussed on the phone, as we had our 4 year old with us. There were no numbered pitches, which we like, and there was plenty of room between tents.

Facilities are close by and in good condition. We mainly used the central block which included 4 showers and 4 toilets,gents and ladies, wash up sinks outside. The showers at the top of the field were modern and very clean. The only downfall being push button showers, and water pressure issues at times- boiling hot! However, the attendant was on hand to quickly sort it out.

The site is great for children. The park is safe and well set out with a good range of equipment. With the tent being so close, we could let him wander over and still see him. The benefit of being so close outweighed the noise levels at night time. The park was usually all calm by 10pm, and the manager did her rounds about 10:30 to make sure.

The site shop was good for the basics and the laundry room/crazy golf were bonuses!

Great location for Lyme Regis, Beer, Sidmouth and other areas of Dorset and Devon.

The site is easy to find and full of families in both tents and caravans.

We would recommend this place, it was fab.
