 ** Site Owner Comments **
I would not normally make any comments at all on review websites. This is your forum and we are happy that you take time out to write a review about our park both positive and negative.
The only issue I feel that needs addressing is about the exit keypads. Up until a few months ago we had 2 keypads, one located by the gate that you have to get out of your vehicle to operate and one located a little further up from the gate that could be operated whilst still in your vehicle. The latter keypad has functioned beautifully for several years but unfortunately sustained damage on several occasions by some of our lovely guests, that just completely forgot when they were going home that they were towing out of the park with their caravan on the back! Despite our sign that reminded them to 'keep wide when towing'. You can picture the scene. To avoid any further repairs and caravans being opened like sardine tins, the last time it was damaged we completely removed it. We installed it initially to give our guests the pleasure of opening the gate whilst still in their vehicles during bad weather but unfortunately things have not worked out as we would have hoped! The security of our home and your park is paramount to us so the exit keypad located by the gate will remain. We look forward to welcoming you to Somers Wood. Have a good day and kind regards, Angela (Proprietor)

Spent a lovely quiet Christmas break here on this adult only site. The ground area is well laid out with spacious hard standing and with all the facilities that you could want. The award winning toilet and shower block was a delight to behold - and was always kept sparkling clean morning, noon and night. The well appointed showers had lots of hooks for your clothes and detachable hoses - rather than fixed heads which is also very useful!
The site is next to a golf course on one side and a quarry on the other. You can take a pleasant walk (about an hour) down along the side of the quarry which brings you out onto the one way slip road for the A45 out of Meriden. There is a footpath along the road going against the traffic into Meriden (this is also a bus route) and you can return back to the site by completing a circular walk back down Hampton Lane. There is a cafe as well as shops and pubs/restaurants in Meriden itself.
The site is very well managed and serviced and it is quite a nature haven for birds. Some people were commenting on the noise of aircraft early in the morning as it is near the flight path into and out of Birmingham airport. However, we did not find this a significant problem.
Overall, would certainly recommend the site. After our first year with the motorhome and over 20 sites visited it would certainly be one of our top three! It is not inexpensive - but you have to pay for your pleasures!

An excellent site, this is not only the view of my wife and I, but also of my sister from Australia who is a caravanner that has covered most of Australia.
We met up here and left her hire car in the spacious parking available next to the caravan and took our car to visit relatives locally. The showers are up there with the best we have used and are spacious with a great glass door that leaves a roomy dry area for clothing. The facilities were immaculate and fittings were of a very high standard. There is a pitch size and shape to suit all outfits and the woodland setting is very pretty even in wet winter weather.
Drawbacks were few and could be easily sorted. The most serious is the difficulty of lifting a full water roller out of the filling station. Lifting 50kg over a kerb is not for the elderly or unfit. The same goes for lifting a full waste water hog into the waste drain. Paying the extra for a fully serviced pitch is the answer for those with restricted lifting capacity. I agree with the poster who mentioned the exit key pad position, in the wet it is horrid, if it could be moved to the right side or a location further in from the gate that would allow operation from the drivers seat, that would be excellent.
For those who want a newsagent, one stop and post office, good food and pubs, Meriden is very good. Balsall Common is also very close with a larger CO-OP supermarket. 5 miles down the road on the Birmingham Road Coventry is a major Morrisons, Curry`s and B&Q etc. This site is well placed for everything you could possibly want.

We have been coming to Somers wood for a number of years now but always during the summer months.
We decided to have a weeks holiday in December.
It was a lovely break, the Christmas lights looked wonderful around the reception area.
It is truly a great site, the showers/toilet block are spotless, a credit to the owners Angela and Marc. The toilet block was nice and warm too the heating being on winter settings/extended hours.
It was a pleasure to watch the different species of birds on the feeding stations.
We will continue holidaying at Somers wood and will certainly return during the winter months.
A lovely safe and secure site due to the coded gate, and a central position for site seeing.
The village has all the necessary shops, and it is only minutes away from NEC, Coventry, Birmingham etc.
Somers wood is a well thought out site, well worth a visit.

This is a lovely site, well set out and presented, friendly staff and a warm welcome.
This is obviously not a typical holiday stop-off but more of a convenient stay over for access to the NEC and other such venues. There is an excellent fish and chip shop and a small Co-op in the village.
The toilets and showers are immaculate and far more than basic, although the showers can be a bit claustrophobic. The heating is a little limited. It is only on during the hours of 7-8am and 7-8pm. Shower outside of these hours and it is COLD and draughty at this time of year. For such a well organised site I was rather surprised to find that the washing up facilities were outside. Although under a large canopy it is very open and windy - not a very desirable activity any time - less so in the cooler weather, outside.
I'm all for a security barrier at the entrance but not when one has to get out of their vehicle in the rain and mud to reach the key pad to enter a code to get both in and out. Unfortunately we stayed during particularly bad weather and the paths were rather muddy and waterlogged around the site.

This site must surely rate as one of the nicest sites I have encountered in 13 years of touring sites in the uk.
The site manager and owner were exceptionally helpful from booking to leaving and the toilet block was superb, and I believe I am becoming an expert on toilet blocks.
The surrounding areas are very pleasant with a golf course next door and a very useful dog walking area.
I would like to keep this site to ourself but feel it fair to let others know of it's existence. If only to ensure the current owner/manager continue to provide excellent facilities for the future.
Thanks for a lovely stay

This was the second time we stayed at this site. Lovely site which was well laid out. Great access for meals etc. However if you visit national trust sites I would advise a hire car, as access bad for large motorhomes. Toilets were nice and clean, and staff very friendly, golf club for meals was great and good value and chip shop at meridian really nice.
One thing that did spoil the holiday was damage to the van caused by a stone, either from another motorhome parking up or grass cutting which had flicked up a stone damaging the van, I will never know. I would recommend a Tarmac roads to be installed around the site, would still go back even after this event,
Birmingham bike museum well worth a visit.

We found Somers Wood to be a very well laid out site which was kept perfectly clean at all times. The toilets are the best we have come across, in particular the disabled wet room.
It is very quiet and peaceful - yes you can hear some motorway traffic but not too much - and we find this a lovely place to just 'chill out'
As we live in Ireland and we travel from Holyhead to East Anglia once or twice a year we find the trip very tiring particularly now we are older so enjoy breaking the journey up by stopping at what for us is a 'halfway house'.

Definitely one of our favourite sites and we've been caravanning for six years all seasons! Easy access from motorways yet so very peaceful, enabling quiet relaxation while listening to a wide variety of beautiful birdsong.
We have a twin axle caravan plus 4x4. The standard pitches were more than adequate to accommodate us with additional grass at the side to separate us from the next pitch. With the caravan taken to the very back of the pitch we had room to park the car safely in front of the caravan.
The owners and staff offered us a warm welcome and clearly work hard to keep both the facilities and the park itself in immaculate condition.
There are so many interesting places to visit in the area and with buses to take us to Birmingham or Coventry plus a rail link on the bus route, we could probably manage without using the car at all another time.
Somers Wood most certainly deserves its 5-star status and we look forward to returning to this lovely spot as soon as commitments allow!

The site is well situated for Birmingham, NEC and Stratford and has a lovely walk from site into the small village. The site itself is well laid out but the pitches, especially the non- serviced were on the small side with not a lot of room for a car if you use an awning.
The facilities were clean with excellent showers and ample hot water, we stayed at Easter so site was full which meant a bit of queueing due to only 2 of each showers. There was a bit of road noise from the busy road adjacent to site but this is now just being picky. Overall a nice site.

A twitchers paradise!
We booked this site for 2 nights whilst visiting Crufts.
The site is in an excellent location just a few minutes away on main roads to the NEC.
The site is beautiful, with well laid out, well looked after, level hard standing good sized pitches.
There was a man installing sky cabling to each hook up bollard, yet we found our freeview pictures good (except BBC, this may be due to the high trees blocking signal).
There is a very informative information hut, with files on where to find all the supermarkets etc etc and a good selection of books to read.
The shower/toilet block is warm and spotlessly clean and the showers are free, hot, powerful and not timed and a hairdryer is installed for free use too.
The dog walk area is great for exercising dogs.
The gated entry is key coded going out (automatic coming in), its easier to get out the car to input your code, as the keypad is low and tight into the side (would be better if on a swan neck at window level). And the occasional sound of aeroplanes (wind direction dependant), was the only thing to spoil the noise of the birds singing!
That said, this site is fabulous and will set the benchmark for all other sites for us from now on. We could easily spend a week or so here. Superb!

Just spent five nights at this very pleasant site in Meriden. Have wanted to visit for a long time now, but only just got around to it. This was our first time caravanning in the winter months and wasn't sure what to expect, but I am glad to say that we thoroughly enjoyed it.
The site itself is very well kept and very pleasant reception staff. The pitch was a good size and ample for our needs. Set in a woodland area the site has access to a pleasant walk along a country lane, ideal for walking the dogs and also to the local golf club. Incidentally the access road to the golf club runs along side the site and there is some road noise, but it never bothered us at all.
Other reviewers have commented on the noise from aircraft from nearby Birmingham airport, but again this was not a problem at all.
Lots of wild birds to see and squirrels popping over in the mornings, a pleasure to watch.
Toilet facilities house the best showers we have ever come across on a site, no timers, hot water and plenty of room in the cubicles. Very very clean also. A pleasure to use
There was some upgrading work going on at the time. W we were warned about it but disruption was kept to a minimum, but can only be a positive measure to improve what is already a five start site.
On the downside though, just a few suggestions if the management read this. The access gate when we were leaving was a little tricky to handle it was easier and safer to get out of the car to use the key code. No problem when just in the car but with the van on the back it was a bit of a problem. The water pipes froze on several occasions during our stay and whilst we took precautions for our vans water supply, the main stand pipes froze very quickly. We were never without water but an stand pipe on the toilet block would have given us somewhere to refill rather than risking waiting all day for the taps to thaw.
We paid for wifi Internet as well, signal was very weak where we were pitched, I would suggest trying the signal in your van first before you pay for a wifi card.
Tv reception on free view was excellent, never bothered with satellite but only certain pitches will be able to recieve due to the height of the surrounding trees
The local area is very nice, a nice fish and chip shop in Meriden. The best I have had for a long time. We visited Solihull and warwick whilst there and both very nice, although not geared well for tourists at this time of year. Coventry was really dull, we were really expecting a nice city but fealt rather a depressing place.
On the whole though the site was excellent, the area very pleasant. Would we go again?. Definitely!. No hesitation. It has certainly been an experience caravanning in winter and a pleasant one at that. We thought we would be cold in the van but not at all, so if you have never tried it give it a go.

We booked a two night stay at very short notice and the service received was very professional and friendly and informative. The site was spotlessly clean and the toilet/shower block is something you would expect in a 4* hotel. There is an outdoor covered area for washing up with drinking water taps through out the site.
The pitches are all hardstanding so no mess was bought into the van. I have two dogs and there was plenty of places to walk them. There is an information hut which was well stocked and also has a honesty library.
This is an adult site only so is the idea place if you want a relaxing time to chill out. We had a fantastic time and even though it is close to where I live it was nice to get away.
Thanks to all the staff for an enjoyable stay.

Have just returned home from 8 days at this wonderful peaceful site. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the facilities spotless. The heating in the shower block at this time of year was great. For those of you with dogs there is an excellent walk along the service road at the side of the Park. We did not come across any cars on this road - just rabbits, much to our dogs delight.
The honesty library was a God send as my husband was away at work a couple of days and it was a luxury and a delight to drink coffee and read in the glorious peaceful surroundings.
To allay any fears of noise, whilst we did see one or two planes in the distance, during the whole of our stay we did not hear any during the day or night. The only noise we encountered was a rather vociferous pheasant one night and an owl another, and the click of golfers playing a round on the course just adjacent to the site during the day.
This site is also within easy travelling distance of some lovely country parks and Coventry is only a shortish bus ride from almost outside the site. You can also get to Birmingham from the station in Hampton in Arden just up the road.

We had a very pleasant overnight stay at Somers Wood after attending a function in Coventry. The site is easy to find and the layout is delightful. It reminded us of a small scale Forestry Commission venue with all the trees surrounding the site and the colours of the leaves at this time of year were particularly stunning.
We received a warm welcome at reception and everything was perfectly explained. An added bonus at this site is that you are able to use the facilities at the golf club and have a meal there. There is also a great little information hut with details of both Chinese and Indian restaurants that will deliver to site along with local interest leaflets.
The site is beautifully peaceful because of its adult’s only status and feels very relaxed. We had our dog with us and the site was very dog friendly with a lovely walk through the back gate which leads to a public footpath where we could let her run free off the lead.
There is an outdoor covered area for washing up and the toilet block was absolutely spotless. The showers were a proper size with a glass screen not a curtain. The toilet block was a very high standard with nice touches like hand cream by the sinks which gave them a very four star feel.
The site feels very secure with its entry gate system. As we only had an overnight stay we didn’t venture very far from site so cannot comment on the local attractions but would definitely consider returning for a longer visit. T
here were 2 downsides to this site one being the lack of recycling facilities and two being the motorhome waste point. There was a high kerb around the waste drain that makes it impossible to drive up to and empty your tank. You will need either a hose extension or a waste warrior which kind of defeats the object. We observed a few fellow motorhomer’s attempting to empty and giving up in frustration!
One other thing that I am surprised has not been mentioned on any other reviews is the amount and level of aircraft noise presumably from Birmingham Airport. I think this may vary depending on what runway they are using on any particular day but we woken a few times in the night wondering if we had parked at the end of the runway in error … should’ve gone to Specsavers!
None of this would put us off returning …. It really is a lovely site.
