Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: DFL CAMPERS 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed in the tent field over the August bank Holiday 7 nights. We picked this site due to the location of Cheddar Gorge which is in walking distance.

On arrival first impression great, with array of flowers round the shower facilities made the site look impressive. Greeted by a wonderful lady in reception who took us to our pitch. Drove through the Caravan pitches to get to the tent field, glad to say we weren't stopping here as they where packing in very tight overlooking each other.

There is a small shop, but we didn’t use it and did not seem to be open very often.

Tent pitches are very spacious in the tent field. We had EHU sad to say this failed us three nights around 8pm. The owner did sort this out by supplying an extra power lead from another source.

The washing up and shower facilities on the caravan side were very clean, pleasant and functional. The portacabin that was attached to the tent field (male) had a sink, urinal & one toilet. (Ladies) 1 toilet & sink only. This was useful but ideally these could do with updating with possibly have a shower added then you would not have to trail to the caravan facilities. There is also one washing up sink and a fridge for campers use.

The one thing you need to be aware of is the raised pathway which runs round the back of the site overlooking the tent field which leads into the village. We found this very intrusive because as people walk by they all seem to look down in to the site. On 3 consecutive nights we were woken up in the early hours of the morning around 2am with sounds of youths returning back from their night out. One night we were woken up by a gang who thought it was a good idea to hurl abuse at every camper asleep shouting obscenities, swearing etc. Thankfully no one retaliated and the youths did eventually go on their away.

People have mentioned the church bells but these did not seem to be a problem for us.

So all in all a good little site in a great location. But I would recommend you ask the owners about paths around the site as all they provide on arrival is a very useful map of Cheddar itself. They do not provide any other information, contact numbers or anything.

Cheddar itself is gorgeous, with some great pubs serving good food, beer and cider. Recommend a visit to the caves which are in walking distance of the campsite.

Reviewer: Jayned58 1 review from this member

 Just come back from visiting this site, I have to say we enjoyed our stay here, owners very nice, toilets and showers very clean, then only downside to this site is that the pitches are very close and you feel that you are on top of one another, not much room when trying to pitch. I also must say that there is a sign saying dogs must be on leads but this is not the case for everybody! some people think this means everybody elses dog but theirs. I would use this site again but only if it was not a buzy time.

Reviewer: Roughit2 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed 4 days at this site the owner and his wife were very friendly. The tent area was a good size with a washing up area. There was one female toilet and one gents toilet on the camping site. And near the entrance there was gents toilets and showers and female toilet and showers also a unisex room with toilet and shower.

The policy of no noise between 23. 00 and 08. 00 seemed to work as it was quite except for the church bells that you could hear all the time.

They didn't interrupt sleeping but I'm sure I counted 13 chimes at one time.

If you didn't want to cook breakfast next door to the site in the football club area where you will find Fat fox cafe they do a wicked full english breakfast and also midday lunch all at very good value. And also a Gluton free menu, dairy free menu.

Reviewer: Louisejjennings 4 reviews from this member

 Friendly owners, nice site but wouldn't stay again unless we really wanted to revisit cheddar gorge as it was in walking distance.

Site was good, shop but tv signal was extremely poor and there was no mention of this before and we spoke to a few others who said thay had given up trying to get a signal.

Was ok, not the best we have been to but ok for a base. We were opposite the bin/recycling/fresh water area and although the pitch was a good size we felt we were too close the the bin/water area and the other pitch directly in front.

When you sat outside you did feel a little awkward. Felt the area behind us and the statics looked a bit unkempt but you couldn't fault the friendliness of the owners.

Toilets clean but nothing to rave about

 This was a lovely site with friendly staff on the edge of the town (within easy walking distance).

This is the first adult only site we've stayed at and it was great after being camped next to a noisy family at our previous site.

The tent field is set at the back of the site with its own toilets and dishwashing facilities. The shower block for the whole site is near the entrance and were lovely and clean (with piped radio which was nice).

I would recommend earplugs for a decent night's sleep due to the church clock which chimes every 15 minutes. It didn't ruin our stay though and we stayed an extra night.

We had breakfast in the football club next door which was really good value and delicious too.

Cheddar is a nice town with a few smashing pubs.

 My wife and I chose this site after reading the reviews and have to say we were not disappointed.

We spent 5 nights at this site and had a very relaxing time here, even the church bells that have been mentioned in previous reviews didn't disturb our stay.

The owners of the site were friendly and were always helpful if people had any problems. Thought the no noise rule between 11pm and 8am was a nice touch and the other persons staying on the site would always try and keep to this rule, if they didn't they would be asked to leave by the owners, as happened to one group during our stay.

The site has one toilet and shower block for the men and another for the women with two showers in each near to the reception and another smaller toilet block near the tent field, this one only has the one toilet in each but no showers.

This smaller block although functional could do with updating with possibly a shower adding. The area of Cheddar and the gorge are worth a visit and it is only a short walk along the old strawberry line which runs along side the camp to reach the village and the shops and pubs etc.

There are plenty of places to eat within the area all of which are within walking distance.

Our comment about the smaller toilet block between the tent and caravan fields is the only minor gripe we can think of about this lovely site and we would definitely recommend this site to others.

Reviewer: Katiefinch 1 review from this member

 Stayed here for a long weekend and had a lovely time. We could choose where we wanted to pitch our tent. There was loads of space around us. Only thing we didn't realise is that there is a secondary school and public footpath from the housing estate to the town behind the tent field. It didn't bother us too much but you wont get much of a lay in with the noise of teenagers turning up to school. The footpath is used regular throughout the day/evening so some people may prefer to pitch their tent on the opposite side of the field

The toilets and showers were spotless and the kitchen area for campers was excellent, very clean with a fridge for you to keep your food in without worrying about other people helping themselves.

The owners were so friendly and helpful and you could hire a push bike for the day or half day if you wanted to.

The shops and attractions were great and reasonably priced

If your taking a dog with you then you can take your dog into the cheddar caves with you.

We will definitely be staying here again.

Reviewer: Aust.tourists 69 reviews from this member

 We have just spent 2 nights at this delightful site. It is quite a small site on the banks of a stream. It is next door to the Caravan Club site.

It is an adults only site which suits us. The shower and toilet block is clean with lots of hot water and large showers. There is a small shop on site that sells basic items. We bought some beautiful strawberries there.

It is very close to Cheddar and the gorge - a 15 minute stroll to the Gorge. The nearest pub is around 10 minute walk but another 5 minutes you can walk into Cheddar and have a choice of around 5 pubs, all serving meals.

We couldn't get satellite but phone and internet reception was OK.

All in all it is a lovely site and would highly recommend it.

Reviewer: WWLL 60 reviews from this member

 We had a very pleasant stay here during our tour of the West Country.This is a pretty site with plenty of colourful flowers and decorations, particularly enjoyed the old style wooden caravan at the front of the site,all the facilities were available, clean & well signed.

Shower & Toilet block excellent, very clean and warm and with fresh flowers a really lovely pretty sight.

The owners were friendly and very helpful.

There is a small shop in reception we enjoyed a 'cream tea to go' from here.

There are also a few holiday static caravans and apartments to let,so something for everyone.

Site is in fantastic location, right by the river and a few mins walk into Cheddar village,

We enjoyed a lovely pub lunch in The White Hart,close to the gorge which is in easy walking distance and serves local cider.

Reviewer: Taffy59 4 reviews from this member

 We have just returned home from spending a week in Cheddar Bridge camp site.(Adults Only) The touring site is very clean & level with separate camping field also immaculate with excellent facilities.

There are also self catering apartments & static caravans for hire. The owners were so friendly & helpful that it became contagious amongst the other residents on the park. The village is a short walk as is the gorge,pubs,shops,etc. T

he surrounding villages are all worth a visit. We discovered the Strawberry Line run past the end of the park,this starts with the footpath from the site into the village (which is recommended to avoid walking along the road which is only a couple hundred yards but no pavement)

The Strawberry Line is a disused railway running from Cheddar to Yatton, now a cycle/pedestrian path which also runs through a tunnel with the home of Thatchers Cider just off Sandford station.

There is also a cycle/pedestrian path running round the cheddar reservoir. We would recommend this site and definitely use it again.

Reviewer: Zenobia1970 4 reviews from this member

 Stayed at this site for a week and found it to be a nice site, however the showers do need a good deep clean.

The pitches are small and we ended up 2 foot from the the neighbouring tent. There is a river that runs round the edge of the site and is not very attractive as campers have thrown rubbish into the river.

The tent field only has 4 electric hookups so you will need to book in advance.

We emailed the site owner twice and got no response.

I feel a little disappointed with the site but overall the experience was not a bad one.

Reviewer: BRhule 11 reviews from this member

 This site is all about the location. It is within walking distance to Cheddar Gorge and we visited Glastonbury, Wells (which were both lovely and well worth a visit)and we also took the steam railway to Minehead which was really nice.

If you want to do this, I would recommend spending a day and then you can get off at the stations. We only had an afternoon so went straight to Minehead.

Cheddar Gorge is amazing - do the 3 mile cliff top walk if you can as the views are amazing.

The White Hart pub does a lovely Ploughmans and we had good fish and chips from Tuckers. The site itself is very pretty and well maintained and the facilities are very clean.

The big downside to this site which I can't believe other people haven't mentioned as other campers definitely complained along with us is that the pitches are so tiny. You are literally packed in like sardines.

Not so bad in a caravan but in a tent you feel like you are in a goldfish bowl! No privacy at all. This also means you can hear everything from other tents - no good if you like to go to bed early. This put us off so not sure if we'd return unless we could reserve a pitch in the camping field where there is more room. Such a shame as it spoils a lovely site.

Oh, the other thing is the church bells - these chime every 15 mins, including all through the night so again, not good if you're a light sleeper.

 Just spent four nights at cheddar bridge touring park.

If only more sites were like this it was very friendly. Toilet blocks were clean no spotless you could (if the mood takes you) eat your dinner off the floor.

Five minute walk your in the gorge plenty to see and do.

This is an adult only site so no children running around also the local shop calls in each morning with papers bread etc etc just in case you don't feel like walking to the shops.

Anyway had a brilliant time recommend too all.

What are you waiting for.

The road is a bit of a test but there is a foot path round the back way for the nervous I did not find it but did not mind the road too much bus stop five mins up the road to wells and much more.

Will be going back again also look for there alsation he is a lovely soft dog play with him but don't expect to just get away with a pat I was playing with him for five mins before he had enough.

 Just returned from a 3 nights stay at Cheddar Bridge Touring Park.

Lovely welcome from the owners on arrival and everything was easy to find. The field was well laid out and nice and quiet. We didn't hear the road that was mentioned on other feedback we read before we booked, but we did hear the church bells. This we thought was lovely to hear as where we live we are used to a cockerel every morning.

The facilities were clean, although the site needs more showers as only 2 in the main block in the ladies and I had to wait until one became available. Toilets in the tenting area could do with improving as they look a little run down.

Cheddar was a lovely day out, I would recommend the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Factory only 1.95 entry well worth a visit. Also Wells was beautiful, a great day out.

To eat out in Cheddar we would highly recommend the Riverside Inn, great food, happy staff and lovely location, about 10 mins walk from the camp. Great on a Wednesday night too for the pub quiz.

We would return to the site and would recommend this to anyone. However if you think the church bells would keep you awake or you are a light sleeper then this is not for you. Location for us was perfect as you can walk to the George and everything is close by.

 Had a rare child free weekend so decided to try this adults only site for 3 nights for a chillax. Have to say thought it was fab as follows

Pitches

Large clean and well tended, we had a riverside with electric and were thoroughly pleased with it very wide and fit our large twin axle plus car, large awning and still had a lovely grassy area to sit by the river for £15 we were delighted

Facilities

Bike hire, drinks / scones / milk available from reception, recycling but nothing else very quiet and peaceful

Toilet / Showers

Spotless, warm, Marks & Spencers handwash and piped music - delightful

Owners

Friendly helpful efficient lots of local knowledge

The site is off a quite busy road but you couldn't hear traffic noise within the site, 5 minute walk into cheddar with banks/chemist a few specialist shops and bars/pubs etc.

Cheddar gorge beautiful a 5 - 10 minute car ride lots to see and do very quaint. Cheddar reservoir beautiful - 10 mins by car. We also visited Weston / Burnham & Brean.

Weather was glorious and fellow campers quite and friendly couldn't hear a peep after 9pm even from the camping field a little gem would definitely recommend and revisit
