 Just had 3 nights at this wonderful site. Actually I had only booked 2 but asked to stay for a 3rd as I didn’t want to go home. Very peaceful with a wee bit of road noise but not a problem. Lovely to have the river and mill stream behind your pitch with lots of wildlife to watch.
Pitches are well spaced although I was on one of the smaller ones as I had a small camper but still adequate. Facilities are second to none. They’ve thought of everything. Wash cubicles multiple showers and toilets. I never had to wait even though the site was very busy.
A bonus of laundry room with washing machines, microwave and freezer if you should need it. Information hut is well stocked. Folders with scenic drives and self-guided walks from the site. I did the shortest one on my own and it was very easy to follow.
The office even has a little shop selling essentials. Again a bonus on a relatively small site. There’s free wifi and a lovely pub down the road that made me feel very welcome as I was on my own. I had 2 meals there. Very friendly.
The site wardens and owners are lovely and give guided tours of their mill house on Sunday mornings. I will definitely be back as I am only 90 mins away.
This will be the perfect getaway. Thank you so much.

Nightmare of a journey down and I missed the turning thankfully there is a turning just up the road also some room if coming down from minehead direction, just passed the pub, so we were well pleased with a warm welcome and a free coffee.
We were shown on a map the pitches and basically told help yourself to any empty pitch. Which was a nice touch. The loo`s spotless ever time, But do expect the spiders to return at some stage you are in the countryside after all.
The same with the showers and washing up room spotless. For a site with only 50 pitches it never seemed busy when it was and we never had to wait for the loo or the showers.
I was looking for a quite get away do a spot of fishing and relax AND IT WAS you are in the middle of nowhere, with the drive out to Minehead (20 miles ish away ) with superstore`s mcDonalds and all the trappings of the seaside or a little further ( and some ) going down the country lanes to Ilfracombe.
With the pub just down the road selling cold beer and hot food (not over priced and a good choose to offer ) and a mobile fish & chip van on Wednesdays, free WIFI and TV. Just sitting and relaxing was torbale.
What was there to dislike ?
For me it was a little to far out of the way that's all. Would I go back yes but a shorter stay

Agree everything said on the post below. Our Fourth stay here and sadly it’s a downhill slide.
Dirty marks on bathroom walls there for the whole time we were there yet very visual, plus cobwebs galore.
Wi-fi very good though, as are the pitch conditions.
Golf buggy up and down at high speed at every opportunity throwing dust over us, not ideal at all, the same from speeding cars but no attempt to stop this so we asked a number of times.
Shop still bare, it would help a lot for MH owners to have access to more products.
Facilities overall good, would we return, we are 50/50.

This site is generally as advertised, but in my opinion not quite as ‘perfect’ as you would expect from the website/brochure.
We arrived after reception closed, but a note for us pinned outside the door told us to pitch anywhere that was not ‘reserved’ and book in next morning. However, as we pulled up one of the wardens came out of their caravan and confirmed this, and also pointed out that the pitch numbers were supposed be the middle of the pitch (really not obvious).
Pitches are on either side of the central driveway, all really long and reasonable width. Most are grass, with some recently installed hardstanding (gravel) pitches, although these are some distance from the hook-up points, so long leads would be required. Note that these hard pitches are nowhere near level!
Facilities blocks are split up; ladies and gents shower blocks, with one WC in each and sinks. Main toilet blocks separate, with more sinks. Washing up and laundry room, with one sink reserved for laundry and one for veg prep, so limited number available.
The Information shed was a real disappointment; we visited in late April but most of the tourist info leaflets were from the previous year, so not really useful. Local bus info was supposed to be in a folder, presumably with copies to take away - there were none left and obviously the staff did not check this during our 4-day stay. A copy on the wall would have been more use. However there was a folder of local walks, written by the staff/owners which were quite good. Again there were copies to take away, but looked like some had ‘run out’.
Site is advertised as good for walking from the gate. True, but most walks on to the moor require walking 1. 5 miles up the lane (up to 1 in 4 hill) to start with, so beware. Over a 4 day stay we did this up twice and down twice!
In summary, a well-equipped site in a nice location, but with a bit more attention to detail it could be better.

Very pretty site beautifully maintained. River flowing gently one side and Mill race on the other side with a great dog walk area upto the weir.
They have thought of everything, spotless facilities, library, info room, shop and a dog wash crufts would be proud to have. Very friendly hosts and great pub over the road.
We went on a few local walks from the site making use of local footpaths. Climbed cardiac hill as the locals call it, just about survived.
Fish and chips visited the site best chips I’d had for ages. Delightful site hope to visit again one day.

A lovely campsite. Not our first visit and won't be our last.
Very welcoming and helpful people. Showers and toilets spotless and high standard.
Easy access with the van and a beautiful dog walk along the river.
We love being beside the river and the site itself is pretty with views of trees and peaceful. Lots to do on Exmoor too.
Local pub within a short walk - best to book a table in season

This campsite is sooooo good. We only booked for 3 nights and the weather was diabolical, but the site is so lovely we really enjoyed it. We stayed on the Mill stream side next to the wheel outlet and enjoyed the sound of rushing water.
Although the weather was bad, we walked down to the weir and it is worth the walk. The pitches are huge and level. There is a laundry, microwave, library, washing up area and required waste emptying facilities. The showers are the best we have ever used. Lovely and clean, heated with no press buttons in sight.
Hubby was impressed with HOT water for a shave. The site is easily accessible although you have to watch out for pheasants in the road. The surrounding countryside is lovely and the site offers access to some great places to visit.
All in all a wonderful site to stay at. We can't wait to return.

Another lovely holiday at this fabulous site. Everything is so clean and tidy and the facilities are brilliant.
The wardens, Debbie and Steve, are friendly, helpful and welcoming, as is the owner and his daughter.
We had a little problem with our caravan and had to get a new part for it and the owner lent us his box of spanners, for which we were very grateful.

This was our 2nd visit to this Adult Only site this year, set by a Water Mill.
If you like quiet sites this is the one to visit, but have to use car to get around. Very poor local public transport.
But will definitely return.
When booking asked for same pitch we had in April or one close to it.
Ended up with the pitch next to it.
We arrived on a Sunday, so also booked a table for Sunday Lunch in Badgers Holt Pub just across the road from the site.
Our arrival was slightly early, we were welcomed by paul (the owner) and his daughter and as the pitch was ready for us, were able to pitch the tent before going for our Lunch.
As we were putting all our camping equipment into the tent, Steve the Warden also came over to welcome us. The pitches are very generous. The River Exe was at the back of our pitch. The Mill Stream is behind the pitches opposite, with a bridge to get to the Facilities.
There is a flag pole near the entrance of the site and flags are put up for the different nationalities that are staying on site.
Yet again the facilities are spotless at all times. Showers, dish washing Laundry and toilets. There is also a small shop in the Reception, for milk, butter, eggs, cakes, ice creams and some camping bits.
The resident ducks were still wandering near the mill stream.
Near by there are Road signs 'Pheasants on road' and many Pheasants can be seen in fields in the area.
In April there were diversions on some roads to the coast for repairs but all roads open now and easier to get to Dunster, Minehead, Blue Anchor and Watchet.
The Somerset Steam Railway goes to these villages and we saw different steam trains when we visited them.

Just arrived home from spending two brilliant weeks at exe valley site. Two adults and two dogs. Wardens Steve and Debbie are very helpful and met Paul the owner who also finds time to speak to visitors.
We were on pitch 17 by the stream and enjoyed watching the Dragon flies fluttering around while enjoying the best weather so far this year counted 13 one day.
We managed to visit several places that we would recommend, I'm gluten free so sometimes it's difficult to eat out The Dulverton Fish & Chip shop does gluten free open every evening 5-9pm Wed -Sat 12-2pm closed Sunday.
Royal Oak Winsford meals very nice we went for Sunday lunch need to book. Also Winsford Bridge Cottage tea rooms plus it's a very pretty village near site. Porlock tea rooms very nice good and friendly staff. Dunster castle and village lovely
Went on the steam train from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard well worth the money the village is about fifteen minutes walk under the tunnel Bird in Hand pub very nice and do cream teas hubby had one but chef had not got gluten free scones so gave me a very big bag of cherries free lasted days and were best ever tasted.
So if Exmoor is the place you want to visit take a look you won't regret it.
