Loved it!

Meehan, Theresa - 03/05/2024

Friendly and welcoming staff. Tidy park without being manicured and sterile. Clean and functional facilities. Pool was warm and a nice distraction on a rainy day, though probably busy in high season. Bar/restaurant area looked immaculate. Can’t comment on the food as we only had a drink. Location is good, with something to visit in all directions. So many campsites these days have signs everywhere which seem to be shouting orders at the campers. Not here! It’s relaxed. It’s how campsites should be! And it was excellent value for money!

Lovely park, this was our second time back and will be making it a yearly holiday. Nice and quiet, small enough to find your way about but still has everything you could need. The kids love spending time splashing about in the pool, bathroom facilities are excellent, love the park and bar/ restaurant. Staff are all friendly and can't do enough for you to make it a great experience. Upgraded from the pod to the camping cabin this time and will definitely be booking the same again. Lovely homey little space, plenty of places to store your things and still have floor space. Loved having the cooking facilities provided and the fridge freezer was a game changer in terms of meal planning. Really enjoyed having our own little outdoor space and picnic table. Beds were amazingly comfortable.

Nice small park

Williams, Helen - 26/04/2024

Bucklegrove is in a good location, the food at the pub is nice and the park kept our little one entertained.Our caravan unfortunately had a funny smell which was very off putting. We aired the caravan all weekend but couldn't get rid of it. Having booked a superior caravan we were quite disappointed.Our friends were staying in a lovely caravan next door and if we had that one we would have been happier.Staff are friendly and were happy to help.We left a day early because there were noisy children on the Saturday night meaning our little one wasn't sleeping. The smell also contributed to our decision. It was so strong we had to wash everything that we took with us as it clung to all our clothes.

Great time

Tompkins, Clare - 25/04/2024

We stayed for 9 nights just after the Easter school holidays on an all service super hard standing pitch. There are plenty of water points around the site so never far away from water if not staying on a service pitch.The onsite restaurant did good food. There was plenty of choice and value for money. Pizza's were great.Showers & toilets were clean and water was hot. We had issue with the electric however it was fixed within an hour or so. Staff are very helpful and friendly.Location is great for for exploring Somerset. We had a great stay and will be going back when the weather is hopefully a bit warmer.
