Gostou: After seeing an old friend for a few days whilst eating and drinking too much. It was nice to take some time out on the hills… great views! Loved it..

Gostou: Wild camping experience with great views.

Não gostou: There are only a few mowed lanes in the long grass which limits where you can pitch.

Gostou: We loved the remoteness and beautiful location of this camp ground. Had the duel advantage of being simple and secure. We had a camper van which I think is best on this site. Toilets are great - love a well maintained compost loo. So quiet on the site (in fact we where the only ones for two nights), spacious and what a great vista. Great communication from Hermoine and what a wonderful part of the world to visit too.

Gostou: Stunning views Massive space for all to pitch Beautiful long grass Well maintained compost toilets Brilliant location with easy walk to both Cothelstone and Lydeard hills Excellent communication Well cut grass around edges and in strips through field to allow good space to pitch up and play with a reasonable amount of more level spaces (previous review mentioned long grass so maybe this has been cut since as it was no problem!)

Não gostou: Having to go home 😌

Gostou: Amazing views and good instructions by e mail. The site is is mown into wide strips which does limit where you can pitch.Our 5 man tent just fitted across one but the entrance and back were in long grass ( knee high /hay length). The long grass did limit where the kids could play as it was wet weather and the long grass was soaking. I was also mindful of walking through the long grass as there are a lot of ticks on the Quantocks . The compost toilets were clean and tidy. Hopefully the weather will be kinder next time as it did blow a gale on top of the hill.

Não gostou: The steps to the compost toilets are very slippery when wet. Needs some grippy treads as we had several slips. The lane next to the field is surprisingly busy so expect some traffic noise.

Do gestor: So glad you liked the campsite and thank you for your really useful comments. We have now increased the grass strips to 10m from 5m and our looking at ways to address the slippery steps - so thanks for sharing your experience.

Gostou: Even with 2 other vans there, felt like we were on our own! Very peaceful and quiet. Lots of space for the dog to have a run about. As close to wild camping as a campsite gets, which we love! Great having the compost toilets on site! Lots of walking directly from the site. Beautiful views.

Não gostou: Quite a lot of the site is on a hill so make sure you take levelling ramps! Not a problem, but worth being ready for!

Gostou: The view

Não gostou: No designated camping areas on field. The very long grass was just cut all around the edges and some paths threw the middle off the field. Would not advise anyone to pitch a tent. We normally use a tent and I could see this being a nightmare. Booked for 2 nights only stayed the on

Do gestor: David, I am very sorry our campsite wasn't what you were expecting. We thought our 5m mown strips would be wide enough to drive and pitch up on, but we have now extended them to 10m to give more space. I will review our description to make sure it is clear to guests that we are a nearly wild campsite.

Gostou: Beautiful site with fantastic views. We loved it, great walks and pub nearby. I would recommend if you are looking for a nearly "wild" camping experience. We would def go back.

Gostou: What a gem of a place. Great communication with the owners, clean and hygienic toilets, amazing views, water tap from a local spring, nice walk to Cothelstone Hill and a beautiful quiet and pleasant evening. We will definitely visit again once we are in the area again. Thank you Cothelstone for a beautiful nights camping.
