Spent Easter here, warm welcome on arrival, nice pitches well laid out, toilets very clean, onsite bar a bit pricy, food ok (portions a tad small and mostly microwaved) only children on site were the owners children, who wandered around willy nilly, other then thet we enjoyed our stay

First reviewed 6 June 2005

Visited this site twice in 2009 and thoroughly enjoyed it; the site managers couldn't be more pleasant and helpful. With the site developments that have been planned for the closed season it should make the site even better for 2010 and we look forward to going back again to see the developments.
Pub within walking distance does a great Sunday carvery!

Well kept with friendly staff. Two touring fields, one level(ish) near to bar and pool, the other further up the hill slightly sloping but with superior views.
The bar is open most nights during peak times and less frequently at others. Food is also served and looked good value.
The pool is not large and could get full at busier times but whilst we were there is was a pleasant experience.
Caution is needed on approach from Cheddar to the site, as the road narrows in places and can become quite busy at times.
The toilets are kept clean and tidy and are heated (?) as are the dish washing and freezing facilities.

I've just spent 2 weeks at Holly Bush Park. It's situated 5 miles south of Taunton and very near to Taunton Racecourse and is ideally placed for getting out and about as it's very near the M5 and A303.

The site is small and informally laid out, with 40 pitches, and includes some seasonal caravans. It takes tents, as well as motorhomes and touring caravans and while we were there, a few horsedrawn 'gypsy' caravans stayed overnight a couple of times.

The toilet and shower block has 3 showers in the ladies and 3 in the gents, and can accommodate disabled people. It was clean and adequate.

There is a washing up area with 2 sinks, and a laundry room with a washing machine, tumble drier, ironing board and iron, and also a rotary clothes line outside.

There is a little shop on site which sells the basics, plus lovely ice cream.

The site is owned by a lovely young couple, Rachel and Gary, who will go out of their way to be helpful. They keep a good supply of local maps and leaflets of local attractions and on our arrival with our 3 Border Collies, we were given a printed sheet listing lots of nice places where we could walk the dogs and let them swim, most of which we would never have found ourselves as they were quite off of the beaten track.

There is no dog walk on the site, but almost immediately opposite the gate is Forestry Commission land which is ideal for their first walk in the morning and last walk at night, and there are loads of places locally where you can take the dogs. The Blackdown Hills are a 10 minute drive away and the dogs can run for miles up there. A half hour walk (or 10 minute drive away) is a lovely lake where they can swim.

Rachel also told us about the local dog-friendly pubs, one of which is right next door to the camp site. (I've given restaurant 10 stars in the rating because of this pub which does fantastic food - HUGE portions!)

I would recommend this site to anyone with dogs. Rachel and Gary have 3 dogs of their own which live on the site, and they are certainly not the sort of people who would tell you 'one bark from your dogs and you're off' like some sites that say 'dogs welcome'.

We done a rally here and although the campsite has just about everything we found it too noisy, with kids hanging around at 1-2 in the morning.

The campsite itself is pretty good and certainly good for families if you want full entertainments and stuff to keep them busy, which is the campsites main purpose really.

If likes lots of things going on, clubhouse, arcades etc and you have kids this is probably for you.

I have been to Home Farm Holiday Centre about 5 times so far and definately intend to go again. The site has a fantastic view of the bay and you can see to Weston and Wales. The pub is excellent at the night time. There is a play Area for your children. You can take your dog on holiday with you and is allowed on the beach. It is an easy starting point for sightseeing of Somerset and Devon. The pool is heated and clean. You book your slot so it is never overcrowded.

I have stayed there in my touring caravan and have felt safe even when I am there with my children on my own. Which can not be said of all sites that I have stayed on. This is a nice family site which is safe and enough off the beaten to be quite quiet.

This site is ideal for families, it is safe and beautifully kept. The site has a large wooden outdoor play area, as well as an indoor pool.There is also a neat little shop which sells a good range of essentials. Toilets and showers were spotless. The bar is child friendly and has a delicious bbq at weekends. When i was there end of july, there was also live entertainment on the Saturday night. Central location for Dunster, Minehead etc.There is also a private beach, which is a bit stonyat the top, but good for kites and games. I would def. go back again, it is a quality site, set in a very peaceful location.

Great site! Friendly, helpful, knowlegable staff. Excellent facilities. Two well stocked fishing pools. Spacious pitches, dog walk, even a dog shower! The on-site Country Club/Cabaret/Restaurant is top class with professional entertainment. We've been several times and look forward to our return.

Set in a beautiful valley alongside the small river Tone,alovely small site with all amenities spotless. If you are just relazing or on one of the many courses run at the site or going walking you could not find a better base.

If you want a realxing break away from it all, this is the ideal site. The site has a nature trail down by the river ideal if you want a walk with the dogs.it has an extensive orchard and a dog walk where you can excercise pets.

The postman delivers papers and you can get basic supplies from reception , they also offer a dog sitting service though i have not tried it out.
The toilet facilities are very clean and they have built a new shower block there is constant improvement on the site all year round.

There is a pub within walking distance from the site however as there is no footpath it can be a bit dangerous when dark as its a bit winding.

Mobile reception is very poor.
