Site & Location
Pros:
"Quiet adult only site to rear of village pub, no noise from pub."
"Lovely quiet site, roomy pitches clean facilities slightly basic but did the job."
"Close to nice countryside, Glastonbury and Bath / Wells."
"We had a lovely pitch in the top left corner. Nice and quiet on the site even when the pub was catering for a large function."
"Good base to discover Somerset not far from some tourist stops."
"Great location for visiting Glastonbury and Clarke's village."
"The location is great as it is close enough to stay if you are looking to go to Glastonbury or Stonehenge."
Cons:
"Some occasional road noise from A37 but nothing extreme and always quiet at night."
"Although the site is clean and everything that is advertised it was far too quiet and too remote for us."
"We were put in the carpark, when the main field was not full, maybe I should of asked to move. There was a lot of litter around the hedges."
"Be aware that there is road noise as the site is close to busy main roads."
"Noise from trains which broke the country side tranquility."
"We felt the pitches were a bit close together - whilst not full when we were there it would be very busy when all pitches were occupied."
"Stoney ground from site to pub difficult for disabled person, would be better if it were smooth tarmac."

"When it came to desserts unfortunately our first 2 options were unavailable, as was vanilla ice cream."
"Very unwelcoming pub!!!!! Give it a miss!!!!!"
"The worst experience I've had in a pub for as long as I can remember."
"After finally getting served drinks from a disinterested young barman I was ushered to the end of the bar by an untidy pile of menus and paperwork to await somebody to take my food order."
"Evening meals not available every night, lite bites were the alternative."
"Pub did not serve meals during our stay, but we found another local pub serving good food a short drive away."

Cons:
"Wife went into pub to say we are here was told repeatedly by a young man CANT book in until after 2 she said we know, very ignorant."
"When I mentioned this to the owner he didn't seem particularly bothered by this feedback."
"A very unfortunate experience watching a man (who claimed to be the pub Gardner or some member of staff) lay into a dear little lad and his family over the toddler picking a few flowers from the garden."
"The thing that was VERY off putting was the extremely strong smell of wet dog that hit you as you walked through the door."
"Zero stars if I could. Terrible food hygiene/cross contamination experience."
"Went for friends birthday. 10 of us asked to sit outside. Had to pull tables together ourselves, when asked to move umbrella to cover due to sun got told not to do manager would help, he never came out."
