Date of Visit: July 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Lee + Caroline 21 reviews from this member

 We stayed for three nights, during the really hot weather, on one of the six EHU grass pitches (number 3 is right next to the water tap). There were lovely views across the rolling hills where the sun set each evening (and where we watched the farmer round up sheep with his dogs!)

We have a four person tent with a front extension which just fitted onto the pitch, and we placed a long windbreak around the seating area at the side of the tent to provide some privacy (because there is no planting to separate the pitches). Our car was parked separately.

Some previous reviews had mentioned a smell - we did notice a very slight smell at times, which didn't bother us, and we just put this down to the unusually hot weather.

The site is immaculate: neatly trimmed grass, flowers and spotless toilets & showers. There is an under-cover washing up area, a large freezer for campers' use, microwave, washing machine & ironing facilities. The small reception/shop stocks a good supply of basic foods (including meat products, icecreams, chocolate bars, bread rolls etc).

It was a really relaxing, peaceful site - the only noise came from the distant sheep and the very occasional passing vehicle.

It was nice to have a pub serving food right at the entrance to the campsite. During the week it was open at lunchtime and then re-opened at 1800.

We wanted a large supermarket on the first day so we drove to Tiverton, which has several. However, there are small grocery stores in surrounding villages closer to the campsite.

We would highly recommend this site if you are looking for somewhere peaceful. We will definitely return! 


Date of Visit: July 2013 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Kad1310 24 reviews from this member

 Really impressed with this site.

Easy to get to s long as you follow the directions given by the site. As a test on leaving the site we followed our satnav. Not a good idea, it took us down some extremely narrow lanes which as stated are 'unsuitable for motor vehicles'

On arriving at the site you drive past the village pub and you are greeted with immaculately manicured grassed areas and plenty of plants. The site is split into two, the top field for caravans and motor homes and the lower tent field. The top field has hard standings for the units, they are on a slope but there are plenty of blocks to level your unit out. Even though we had a campervan we were given a hard standing in the tent field, this suited us brilliantly as we only had to share the field with one tent. The electric point was a fair way from the pitch but the wardens had an extension which they let us borrow for the duration free of charge.

Great little shop/reception on site for all your needs, food and information on the local area. Can definitely recommend the bacon and free range eggs.

Toilet block is the cleanest we have seen since we started camping. There was a good washing up area and washing machine and dryer in the block as well. Recycling facilities are provided round the back.

Good Wifi coverage free of charge.

The local pub is very friendly and serves good pub food at very reasonable prices.

The local area has good walks and Dunster castle and village are well with a visit.

Best campsite we have been to so far, if you are after a quiet break away, this is the place for you. 


Date of Visit: June 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Gillzone 1 review from this member

 We stayed for three nights to try out our recently purchased caravan. The staff were brilliant, helping us set up for the first time. The pitch was great with lovely views across the hills. The shower block and toilets were immaculate and the grounds very well cared for. There was a shop with most things catered for including local fare. The reception area has a large selection of local maps, books and leaflets. It's a wonderful area with great walks and views. The pub is through a gate right next door. We had a good meal and the staff there were very friendly too. The dog walk for morning and evening preambles was well done, mowed paths between grasses and wild flowers. Although no problem for us, there are only two showers in the ladies block so I imagine at busy times there may be a queue. There is no mobile phone reception and TV would not have been possible without the Ariel hook up provided for 50p per night. The wardens were so helpful and cheerful, we'll definitely stay here again. 


Date of Visit: April 2013 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Nic green 5 reviews from this member

 A fantastic chilled site in the Exmoor countryside. A perfect base for walking the surrounding area. Very helpful wardens who take an interest in their guests and needs. Really useful on site shop which has just about anything you need or you have forgotten. Great traditional pub right at the entrance to the site which was friendly and welcoming.

Pitches are sloping so blocks will be needed if you are in a motorhome and want your sink to drain ! We will definitely visit again.

Reviewer: Slapheadgeoff 8 reviews from this member

 They say that good things come in small packages, and Low Trow campsite is a prefect example of this old saying.

A warm and friendly welcome, excellent gravel pitches in immaculately trimmed lawns, water, EHU and tv socket close to the pitch, and peace. These coupled with a small but handy shop which includes a loan library and a pile of walking maps which can be borrowed or bought, all add up to a wonderful weekend.

The toilet/shower block is small but very clean

And the dog walk in the lower field is enough for the morning and evening trots.

The Low Trow Cross pub was twenty yards from our pitch (handy) it was very friendly and served excellent food and beer, obviously it was a bonus not to have to drive out for a drink

We were there for a long weekend with family and the idea was to walk our pile of dogs, we found innumerable walks in the area, the nearest being just a very short walk up the lane opposite the site, but also Haddon Hill and Wimbleball Lake are very close. We went a bit further and had a lovely walk up the river from Tarr Steps, and another along the valley at Bury but watch out for pheasants here, there are thousands of them, our dogs were going dizzy with so many birds about.

There is a good supermarket in Bampton, but Dulverton is a much more interesting place to visit with good car parks and lots of small shops.

Overall, a small excellent adults only site set high up on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, and for adults who like peace and quiet, well worth a visit.

Date of Visit: August 2012 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Sue Paul 80 reviews from this member

 We had a fantastic time here, all was spotless and not regimented in any way, the Wardens were more like hosts and most helpful.

The shop is perfect, just what's needed no more and no less.

Lovely and peaceful with a fine Dog walk but do go the 'hole in the hedge' way out of the site, its safe for the dogs to run wild.

The eatery just outside of the site was great, dog friendly and lovely people so much so we felt like a local. We had drinks, two mains and two deserts all for £33. 00 and it was very good.

Would we go again oh yes, there is a beautiful 9 mile walk around the nearby lake calling us.

Reviewer: Shelly-tony 1 review from this member

 Had a blissful week stay here in July picked the only week of sunshine and had a thoroughly relaxing time. The facilities on this site are small but provide all you require!

Shop with small amount of stock but have what you need, from milk to sunscreen and ice-creams and has wealth of local information.

Freezer available for ice packs and small amount of food - plus microwave and for a small charge washing machine, dryer and soap.

Shower block was very clean and no lack of hot water, toilet roll or hand-wash also concealed area for bins plus recycling.

Pitches were generous in size with the option of electric and drinking water taps easily accessible. The site itself was well managed and the wardens on site to deal with any concerns, requests or directions!

There is also a fantastic pub/restaurant at the entrance to the site with which we were given a warm welcome and excellent food/service! Had to go back so partner could have T-bone twice! and that was not on our first visit!

All in all a perfect week away with no kids, screaming or running round, would definitely recommend and go back!

 We have just had a 2 week stay on this fabulous site. On our arrival we were made very welcome by wardens Pete and Jill. The pitches are of ample size but as they slope, blocks are provided. The facilities are spotless, the showers are free and of the push button type and plenty hot enough.

Although a road runs by the site road noise is minimal, rush hour being just one or two tractors!

For bird watchers our mobile feeder was a great success, with visits from a variety of finches, tits, a nuthatch, woodpecker and siskins.

Exmoor National Park is on the doorstep providing plenty of walking.

All in all an excellent site and one we shall be returning to in the future.

Reviewer: Izzytwizzy 3 reviews from this member

 Oh wow, what a beautiful site! Unfortunately we were only staying one night on our way home from Cornwall. This is a beautiful secluded site and I felt very at home here.

The toilet and shower block was immaculate. My husband said the men's were also spotless. We are planning to come here again next year on our way through, but will stay at least 2 nights next time.

I must also add a review on the pub which adjoins the camp-site. We had the most wonderful meal at the Lowtrow Cross Inn. The food and service was excellent. Obviously this is a popular pub and restaurant as it was completely full on the Thursday night that we were there. You certainly need to book a table to guarantee eating here.

 This site is ideal for those who enjoy a quiet getaway. It's ideally situated for exploring north Somerset and Exmoor - although a car is recommended as there is no bus service from/to the site.

The facilities are excellent - hot showers and very clean toilet and sink areas. This was our second visit this year, and we took advantage of one of the electric hook up pitches. These are on good level ground whereas the non electric pitches are on a very slight slope.

The site also has a small shop selling most provisions and a selection of food and drink - including frozen food. The staff are also very helpful and friendly - nothing seems too much trouble.

There is a very relaxed atmosphere about the place. Adjacent to the site is the Lowtrow Inn. We can thoroughly recommend this pub too. Quality food and drink of good proportions and not expensive. The menu is varied and there are daily specials too. There is also a wide selection of drinks including real ales and ciders. The landlady/landlord and bar staff made us feel very welcome as did the locals too.

We'll certainly try to book another stay later this year.
