Date of Visit: June 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Alibescat 34 reviews from this member

 Agree with most of the points on below review. Easy to find site but the bumps are so severe our caravan electrics became unhooked our roof light broke and a dodgey cupboard we had fell clean off so we had a bit of sorting on arrival. We drove 5mph the whole way down.

I found reception lady to be friendly but didn't advise me on any facilities other than the loo block and if I wanted to swim I must book 24 hours in advance.

I was disappointed in the touring caravan pitches they are one terrace above the tent pitches mentioned below and I agree the tent pitches look like a spare strip of grass facing the carpark. The touring pitches are tarmac and gravel with no grass on this level so you feel like your on the car park looking at a car park with minimal sea views past the statics and large bushy trees.

The pitches are full service with ehu and water / waste and are big we had pitch 6 with bags of room for car van and awning.

The ladies block up the steps have 2 showers and 4 loos one shower had a lock that didn't lock and the temperature was cold till the end of your 20p. Ladies must take 40p if washing and conditioning hair - I power shower and you cant make it on 20p. On another day the showers were too hot from start to end.

I liked the beach for me with two big dogs it was like a private beach almost the whole weekend and you can walk to Watchet if you monitor the tide times and don't mind paddling over a river. Well worth the effort, head left I highly recommend The Star Inn - tucked down a side street at the end of the harbour, very friendly lovely beer garden, great beer and fab food. Dogs are extremely welcome inside and out. Everyone was very friendly.

Biggest reason I wont return to the site is you cant walk anywhere unless you risk the tide and walk along the coast as there are no footpaths and nothing is in easy walking distance. Also the total lack of anything to do, I like to relax but I like to leave the car too- we would have loved to sit in the camp site beer garden for a few or a meal but with short opening times and no food its simply no use, you really need to go self catering.

World Cup Also don't be fooled if you like footie - they advertised the England Match so we went hoping for a bit of friendly camper footie banter in the bar to find the bar empty and they had put a small 32' TV in the games room that's the size of my living room with approx 10 plastic chairs- no atmosphere at all and a couple of women even made them turn it down as it was too loud for them - then they left to sit in the main bar. I sat outside and moaned to the husband we would be better watching it at the van.

Sunday morning I was greeted by an abrupt woman. My dog had been for a few little poops on the gravel literally 5 mins before and hes a big dog so there was a couple of fresh ones and I was getting a bag as I always do to clean up when I saw her stonking across mumbling I explained and apologised. She retaliated by insisting this was a business and I must under no circumstances let my dogs doddle on the stones and I must walk them as pooping on the stones is against the rules. Well I'm sorry I didn't have a spare cork that morning and my dogs had been on stake outs for 10 mins as they could hardly walk we had taken them out ALL weekend. I'm a responsible dog owner who spends the weekend dog walking so I was very unhappy with her whole attitude.

I get the impression they want seasonal tourers and statics only - they have no nice pitches for tourers or tents visiting.

Minehead was OK for a drive out quieter than I expected but a nice clean side front. Dunster Castle is a no dogs allowed in any of the gardens so save planning it with dogs. Dunster village was very pretty not much there but we walked round the town a few times it was so pretty with a few shops and pubs.

I sound negative - I'm not we had a nice weekend the weather was fab and we loved it all in all - made our own entertainment even had a BBQ on the beach one night which was magical. I just think there are better sites in the area and feel disappointed I chose this one - it was pretty with mature trees but not really what I pictured from seeing their website.

 I was a little disappointed with this site although I have to stress that my personal likes and dislikes may not be the same as others.

I found the site quite easily and my satnav even took me down the mile long driveway almost to the reception. Please be careful on the driveway since there are unmarked speed humps which due to the dappled sunlight coming through the trees are not easily spotted until the last minute - even at 10mph! There are also few passing places especially if towing.

Reception was very friendly but there was a distinct lack of information concerning the site itself or the local area. Shop on site selling a good selection of items.

The website shows a photograph of a brick built food servery which lead me to believe the site served food. I have no idea where this was but on asking I was told no food was available anywhere on the site not even the bar. The bar itself was only open from 8pm to 11pm on the Friday and from 6.30pm on the Saturday for those people who obviously needed a drink more than food.

The nearest pub/restaurant was inaccessible on foot because the site driveway is a mile long uphill slog and the pub is at least another half a mile maybe more along very fast windy main roads with no footpaths. A mobile fish and chip van did arrive on the Saturday evening for a couple of hours but I have to say that within 3 hours of eating fish and chips I had quite a bad stomach upset. I obviously can't say that was the cause.

So be warned - take your own food and cooking facilities or be prepared to have to drive out.

The beach was equally unimpressive. At high tide it is inaccessible. As the tide recedes it reveals a very stoney beach similar to the photograph on the website but when the tide is out the 'beach' is a mess of eroded / damaged man made sea defences which form quite dangerous rocky channels with coarse red sand and rocks between. There are small rock pools and some sandy stretches but not a great place to spend the day. A much better place is Blue Anchor Bay a couple of miles along the coast towards Minehead.

Take heed of the warnings not to stand under the cliffs. There were two small falls of rock in the hour or so I spent there which would certainly have injured anyone standing below.

On site, I probably had the best tent pitch available although the site is terraced and mainly has static caravans and what appeared to be residential park homes. The tent pitch was on a flat topped grassy bank or terrace above a car park (no cars allowed next to the tents) with glimpses of sea views between the clifftop trees below. Behind and above me were touring caravans and motorhomes on rough hardstandings and above those, more statics. I felt as if I was occupying a spare bit of grass verge between car parks within a residential mobile home park. Not really very pleasant at all.

The toilet block was up two sets of steps across a couple of terraces. Not too difficult to access but probably not good for anyone with mobility difficulties. The block itself was like entering a railway carriage. 3 shower compartments on the left hand side followed by 3 toilet cubicles. On the right hand side were just two sinks and two urinals (in the gents of course).

The toilet cubicles are so narrow that I almost had to reverse in (and I am quite a slimish person) and the toilet paper dispenser is on the wall above the cistern behind and almost impossible to get at when seated. I think the secret is to grab a few sheets before sitting down. There were no hooks in the cubicles for hanging clothing / washbags / towels. These need to be left outside in the main area and there were only a few hooks just inside the door there.

There is one shaver point over one of the sinks so if the sink is in use you have to wait for it to become vacant to access the shaving point. The water was never very hot and it was necessary to run much of it to waste before warm water emerged.

The facilities were kept exceptionally clean throughout the day. Perhaps 8.30 in the morning as campers are arising is not a good time to be cleaning them but I shouldn't complain about that.

The site was generally well maintained and clean. The bar does serve a nice pint when open and the staff and regulars are very friendly. I would say this is a reasonable site, perhaps a little expensive (although it does have a free swimming pool for those who swim) and ideal as a base for touring the area, and it is 'different' to say the least. I wouldn't particularly want to return though as it didn't tick my boxes. 


Date of Visit: January 2010 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Stuart4190 1 review from this member

 What a great find! Took my 4 year old to the site for one night; £12 was a bargain (electric, water and waste). Owners very friendly and accommodating.
Great location on top of the cliffs, with sea views from the campervan pitches. 2 min walk down to the beach. Swimming pool was fantastic and in January we were the only ones in it. Adventure playground is another great addition.
Pub was great on Saturday night and although not busy at this time of year was very friendly. No food available in the pub at this time of year but they suggested I contact a local takeaway (pizza's, burgers etc free delivery with >£10 spend) and have it delivered to the pub. Very clean site, only drawback is the 20p showers; its not the money but the principle that drives me mad!

Definitely be back and as we live only 30 mins away; so sooner rather than later I'd imagine! If only I was free this weekend.

 We stayed at Home Farm for an autumn holiday after being unable to book for the summer hols as they were fully booked.

We had a bit of trouble finding the site but we drove down the beautiful wooded drive and had a picnic by the Reception in the late autumn sun (we managed to get there in the lunch break due to roadworks on the motorway, joy). We booked in and we're given our our pitch no. And parked in our parking space below the pitch.

The pitch was very generous and plenty of room between other tents. The electric hookup was perfectly placed and even lit overnight - ideal for sitting out in the evening and toilet trips.

The toilet block was up 2 sets of stairs and was excellent, always clean, excellent large family room. Only downside was paying for the showers which took a little while to warm up. The shop was well stocked and staff were really friendly and went out of their way to open the shop so we could buy a spare mattress when we realised our youngest's ready bed hadn't made it into our packing!

The whole site was clean and beautiful and there was ongoing maintenance.

Fabulous enclosed kids play area where you can sit in the beer garden while they play, table tennis, really cute bar inside. The swimming pool operates on a booking system with up to ten people at any time. The Receptionist very kindly booked us in on our own as my partner had forgotten his swim shorts and swam in his boxers!

The grounds of the site are big enough to make a good stroll and we climbed up the small hill to see the mini stonehenge and stunning views. The beach (with own waterfall) is to die for - we took a wander down at sunset and even the kids were stunned into silence.

Has to be one of the best sites I have ever stayed at. We have already booked for next summer and we can't wait to return!

 Great hard standing for the winter months and excellent value for money for the facilities offered. Kids loved the swimming pool and adventure playground. Good sea view. Private beach best in the area for sand and rocks. Owners very friendly and helpful. Fish and chip van visits on a Saturday night along with a family disco.

Could do with speed bumps around the site as some people tended to drive too fast(25mph). There is a sign up saying 5 mph but took no notice.

Overall a fantastic site with excellent facilities.

Reviewer: Carol + Dave 7 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a 5 night stay and absolutely loved the site. We were on Louise's Patch which is quite sheltered, being between two rows of caravans. There are 7 pitches on this part and all are spacious with plenty of room to spread out. It is close to the smaller toilet block but still only a short walk from the main amenity block (both were always very clean). There is a brilliant play area which our 4 year old loved and it is next to the beer garden. The only criticism of the play area is that there are no lights so as soon as it goes dusk it gets closed. The Harness bar is lovely with reasonably priced drinks. We went to the Sunday afternoon BBQ and also thought that the food was quite reasonably priced. We only managed to go to the beach once because the weather was quite cool but it is great with plenty of space to play and rocks for fossil hunting. The on site shop is well stocked and you can order papers and fresh bread from there. The lady will also re-freeze any ice packs you have. We went swimming once and had a good time. There is a really shallow bit which is great for little ones. With regards to the surrounding area, Watchet is a lovely little harbour town with some nice pubs although it is advisable to book if you want to eat as they are quite small and get very busy. There are cashpoints in Watchet and Williton and there are Co-op stores in both towns as well. It is a fantastic base for exploring and we will definitely be going back to Home Farm again to explore some more!

 Just back from this lovely site, Staff were great, pitch was superb, we were on a hard standing pitch. The toilets and showers were great, the twenty pence fee lasted ages. Bar area and children's play area were good too, the pool was a nice size for the ten people allowed to use it, and the private beach was a nice touch. All in very pleased and will be going back again

 Hi,just returned after camping 6 nights in a tent. We booked the holiday in feb,mainly on the strength of the earlier reviews.

I'm a bit puzzled about the sea views some of my fellow tent campers have written about. Yes there are glorious sea views, but these can only be seen by the statics in front of the dense trees lining the cliffs and some of the caravans/statics on the upper levels. The areas for the tents have very restricted glimpses thru the trees. We had an EHU pitch number 11. This area contained a row of about 5 pitches reasonably spaced. I believe this to be the only grassed ehu area for tents.

Directly behind/above us though, was a row of caravans. The view we had in front of our tent was a row of bins, then parked cars. To our right steps, and bizarrely another set of steps on our left causing people to have to cut across the front of our tent to get to the toilets. In my opinion this is a well run established site, but there are far better suited places for tents. For 25 quid per night I expected more.

 We stayed for two weeks at the end of July/start of August camping on an area called 'The Green'.

The site were at pains to point out when we booked that the area is 'gently sloping', which is only just a fair description. One good thing about this part of the site is that it remained well drained during the first week when we had a lot of rain, other areas didn't fair quite so well. On the downside you pay the same rate as a flat pitch with EHU, with the owner also insisting on charging you for ice packs.

Facilities are good on site. You get a fair amount of time for your 20p shower, which could sometimes take a little while to warm up. The lights in the toilet block are on a timer, which in the middle of the night never seemed to quite stay on long enough.

The on-site shop is good, with a wide range of stock. In addition you can pre-order papers, croissants and French sticks.

Swimming pool is a definite winner. It's booked out in 1/2 hr slots, with a maximum of 10 in the pool at one time. Shower in the swimming pool is the best on site - 20p gives enough time to wash one dad and two sons or alternatively one mum.

The bar is fine, with a nice garden next to a good children's play area. The BBQ, which is on a few nights of the week, could be better. The children's magician on a Tuesday is worth a visit.

The campsite beach is a short walk away and is another winner, with space for French cricket and good rock pools to go crabbing in.

Shops wise, we either went to the Tesco at Minehead, or the local shops in Williton.

Days out that our five and seven year old boys enjoyed were:

Butlins

Diggerland

Pitch and Putt at Cannington

They weren't so keen on:

Fleet Air Arm Museum

Dunster Castle

Mum's drive up Porlock Hill, which left Mum a bit shakey and with a strange/expensive smell coming from the back of the car.

Reviewer: Sparky69 22 reviews from this member

 Read other reviews on this particular site and made our minds up that this would be the place for our main break. Site location is exemplary, set above cliffs overlooking the Bristol channel but sufficient screening by mature trees. Excellent shower block and child friendly pub on site with large adventure playground. Indoor pool can be booked for 30 minute sessions at no extra cost which our daughter loved.Relaxing walks either in woodland or on the local beach less than 10 minutes away. Well placed for visiting surrounding area, we visited Minehead, Lynmouth, Cheddar gorge and the large Clarkes shopping outlet at Street. Will definitely be back
