Electric grass and gravel tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful facilities, the picnic benches with each pitch is a great addition. Very child safe with electric gates. Well maintained pitches, we have already booked again.
Disliked: The only recommendation would be a slightly different flooring when you step out the shower, maybe a wooden slatted base or something to stand on that feels better than the concrete.

Liked: Ok so its a pretty little field with some nice little apple trees and a scattering of picnic benches (for those without the car camping comforts of tables and chairs) and firepits. Its a small site but the downside of a small site is that if there is a large noisy group, you cant escape them. As there was when we visited, a large group were in the cabins at the bottom of the field and we had to move our tent in the middle of the night to get as far away from them as possible. I guess this is a potential problem on any campsite but I thought a small one like this might not attract or allow large groups. However even without other people, the noise from the main road, the Frome ring road, is constant, with lorries, boy racers, motorbikes all through the evening and sporadically through the night... tranquil countryside camping this is not! I was impressed with the facilities though, nice clean toilets, washing up area, fridge, plenty of covered space if you need shelter from the rain. One final disappointment was the sudden and unannounced withdrawal of food availability as talked about on this site. This was a factor in deciding to come here and there was nothing to say this had stopped (on their facebook page/website etc).

Liked: Really liked the peace, and relaxed atmosphere. Only small, but everyone very respectful of other campers and you're not on top of each other. Lovely clean facilities. Very welcoming owners too! It felt like nothing would've been too much trouble, they left you to get on but were always easily accessible. You'll need to drive to get about, but there's plenty to do around. You're close to lots of places of interest (Bath, Roman baths, Stone henge, lots of beautiful little villages including Lacock for any Harry Potter fans).

Liked: This is a great little site; facilities are very basic with no electric hook-up for tent pitches but everything was kept clean and tidy. Little extras such as the games room and the provision of plenty of toilet roll, hand soap, washing up liquid, etc. was a nice touch that you don't always get at campsites. Fire pits were available for use with a small charge for wood. The on-site takeaway was fab, with great food and generous portions. The owner was very relaxed, friendly and helpful. The site itself was very pretty with all of the fruit trees dotted about. Conveniently located for Longleat and Frome. Shops and restaurants just a 5 minute drive away. The glamping pods/shepherd's huts look lovely!
Disliked: If, like us, you are not used to it, the proximity to the main road means that it is quite noisy through the night.
