 The site was easily found from the M5 using the directions given by the owners. The Sat nav directions would have presented a very interesting end to the journey.
On arrival we were given a warm welcome by the staff, who explained all the facilities available along with information on local shopping and walking.
The site is situated on a slope, but is designed so that all of the caravan pitches are relatively level. Some of the pitches are fully serviced.All are hard standing ( tents on grassed area)
The grounds are well laid out with extensive amounts of shrubs, trees, flowers and hedges.The grounds are well maintained.
There is little or no TV and mobile phone reception, although internet and TV booster facilities are available at extra cost.A payphone is also available.
The toilet, washing and showering facilities are of a high standard and are always kept spotless, there is also a washing machine and dryer if required.
The only down side is that some of the pitches are small. Most however are ample for caravan and awning.
The site is located about 12 miles from Minehead (seaside) and 11 miles from Taunton with some lovely countryside in between. The area boasts a high density of NT premises and other similar attractions. The local scenery in my opinion is very pretty.
General shopping can be achieved in the local town, but other larger stores ( Morrisons, Tesco etc) are available within 10 to 15 miles.
Overall the site fits well into the site group, maintaining the standards expected. I have already decided that we will revisit this site soon.

We chose this site for our first touring caravan holiday because it was only 75 miles from home.
Before arrival and when booking the pitch the owners were very helpful and easy to deal with, they even warned us about the snow that was still around the evening before we travelled.
Upon arrival the owner sorted us out with a very easy pitch for us to get on to, due to my first time nerves about reversing.
The toilet facilities were just about the cleanest we have ever seen, with users rightfully being encouraged to keep them that way. I personally liked the arrangement of the toilets being built under cover in a barn, they had a very cosy feel to them and were kept very warm.
The site itself was also very clean and tidy, in spite of the recent bad weather, there was very little mud around. There were also plenty of places to get clean and empty waste water around.
There are some superb walks immediately from the site and we were given a complimentary brochure upon arrival with four short guided walks, which our dogs also enjoyed two of. The large dog walking field was also a real bonus and something we look for on most sites.
Nearby Wiveliscombe (3 miles?)has a Spar and a Co oP where you can pick up a bit of shopping and Tiverton around 15 miles away has a large Morrisons if you want better value and more choice.
We will definitely be returning to this site, hopefully in better weather, at some point.
There was no Vodafone signal or television reception available at the site, but a reasonable charge for the payphone made this less of a problem and you can buy a modestly priced aerial hook up lead for your TV from the owners.

This was our first visit to Waterrow and we found it to be a very attractive site with spotless, warm and interestingly designed shower and toilet facilities. The owner was very friendly and not only helped us to park our new and bigger van but also placed us near the woodland walk as we have two dogs.
Although it had rained heavily and the grass was muddy, the pitches were mostly hardstandings so it didn't pose much of a problem other than on the walks - wellies a must!
There were four walks given to us when we arrived and obviously there was more to be had. There is a pub locally that we didn't have time to try (allows dogs) and nearby Wiveliscombe is a pretty town with plenty of shops. Taunton was about 15 miles away.
This was a site to relax in and our only slight niggle was that the recycling and rubbish bin were a fair way from the pitches with no other bins available that we saw. But with sheep and wall to wall countryside to gaze upon that was an easy trade off.

We have stayed at his site many times and it is one of our favourite sites. Excellent facilities, friendly owners and helpers. Lots of space for dogs to run around and lovely river walks. Like others have said there is a pub a short walk away, the food is very good but it is pricey and please do remember to take a torch, it is a dodgy stretch of road to walk along.

Grand little site, pleasant, picturesque, well laid out, clean and tidy and staff that were friendly and welcoming beyond expectations.
Although this site is not in Exmoor, it just as well be, as it is surrounded by high hills that gives this site an almost cosy feel to it. The pitches are flat, but laid out in a random pattern and with clever, strategically placed plants and bushes, you really might think you are the only one on the site. It is a shame we only saw it on a wet February day, so I will return in the summer when it should be glorious.
Non existent TV reception without a lead, however, the owners of the site, who were going to be out when we arrived, couldn't have gone more out of their way to make sure we had a lead ready for us so we could watch the England v Scotland rugby, however, in hindsight perhaps it would have been better if we hadn't bothered, but that's no fault of the sites.
The toilets are in a porta cabin, but they are all enclosed in a barn, and were exceptionally clean and a pleasure to use and while the site isn't brimming with the extras that larger sites might offer, the general cleanliness of the whole site was impressive.
There is a pub a little up the road, The Rock, good food, if just a little bit pricey, but there is a separate pool room so you don't feel as if you are disturbing the dinners once you've finished. Make sure you take a torch for the walk back, the road is a little windy.
For what this site is; a small, picturesque, remote, country site, then it's probably a 9.5/10.

Lovely, peaceful, adult only site, a member of the 'Best of British' group. The owners have put a lot of work into improving this site and have an award and photos to prove it. Almost-level pitches are nicely grouped with plenty of space around each one and plenty of hedging to provide privacy as well as to encourage plenty of wildlife- birds of all kinds and the local family of ducks who visit at mealtimes.
Amenity block is housed in a large barn and is spotlessly clean. The block is closed for cleaning for about an hour each day. There is no shop on site but at reception it is possible to buy some basics such as longlife milk or frozen rolls as well as frozen meals if you have an oven and locally produced ice cream for dessert. We were not able to get down to the river due to the rain and mud but I understand that there is a nice walk there. Some road noise during the day, but not intrusive and the occasional low-flying jet but otherwise a lovely place to stay for rest and relaxation.

Lovely site spoilt by appalling weather on first day. Pitches seem small in comparison to other sites but privacy maintained by hedges. Toilet and shower block spotless. Great site for dogs with plenty of dog walks close at hand. Great pub down the road but you will need a torch as the road back is pitch black. We will return again

This is the best site we have ever camped at. All the facilities were very clean. It is in a great location - very quiet apart from the sheep! The owners were very friendly with a great shop. There is a pub within walking distance although I would recommend taking a torch which serves great food with again very friendly staff.
We didn't want to leave!

Owners very friendly and helpful, even order newspapers for you if required.
WIll deffo be using this site again.

As a disabled person my disability is 24 hrs a day not through choice. The disabled facilities here are behind a five bar gate which is padlocked after 7.00pm. whilst on route to the disabled toilets, I was asked where I was going on 3 separate occasions during our week long stay. The pub nearby was handy but extremely expensive with main courses at around £15 and house wine starting at £13.95. I wouldn't hurry back I'm afraid.

Have just spent a lovely long weekend here over the bank holiday. Arrived to a warm and friendly welcome. The pitches are excellent with lovely scenic views. Great walks for the dogs too and lots to explore. The facilities are excellent and are of the highest standard - always well maintained and very clean. There are plenty of leaflets, books and other useful information on hand. Would definitely recommend this site and would return to in the very near future. Just a small note - best to go by the directions provided on their website (we had them printed out but left them in the caravan whilst we were driving!), so we followed the directions on the satnav - BIG mistake! Takes you through the little villages with roads just big enough for one vehicle - very hair raising, especially as I was driving! Would give this site a 10/10 for providing excellent facilities, warm and friendly welcome and great scenery (and no children!).

As Gilbert might have said, this is the very model of a well run campsite. The facilities were not only spotless, they were actually warm in January! The hard-standing pitches (others are grass) are horizontal and drained. The reception was especially friendly and helpful, even though the owners were away at the time. It's a pleasant riverside location, with walks from the site and much more excellent walking in the vicinity.

This is a really great site. We stayed here as part of my husband's bike ride from Land's End to John O'Groats. They get quite a few cyclists staying here on route.
Despite arriving in the pouring rain, the owners were really helpful in showing us to where we could pitch and offered to dry my husbands cycle gear overnight for him, which was really appreciated.
The barn has all the facilities you need and lovely hot, free showers. Would highly recommend this site. Its quiet, clean, well laid out and incredibly friendly.

Made the most of a child free week and visited this adults only site. The facilities were immaculate, the site owners very approachable and helpful, the local pub nicely within staggering distance. The whole site had a fantastic air of peace and quiet, will be returning as soon as possible.

Just spent 2 nights at this site and must say what a wonderful site it is. A lot of work has been done over the last year and it now has the best facilities we have seen in this country for the price - £12 per night for 2 adults with campervan. New toilet and shower facilities in portacabins in a barn - very ingenious! Absolutely spotless (and I am pickie!!!) Very friendly welcome.
