Great family site. Pool and club house are well run and food is good. Lots of space and easy bus links to Wells of chedder.
Stayed in lodge 3 first impression was lovely outside but inside terrible very unclean cobwebs on every window and curtain ,kitchen floor was sticky and hair wrapped around shower head the only good thing i can say was the hot tub was clean and warm and I really enjoyed it but will not recommend this stay to anyone We visit the restaurant not much entertainment. ,food was beautiful and staff lovely but prices are terrible way over priced
We are now becoming regular guests at Bucklegrove. Apart from the good value for money accommodation which is always clean and comfortable, this is a lovely, quiet and peaceful site even when it's busy. All of the staff are friendly and helpful, and you really get the feeling that you are valued as customers. That's quite a rare thing these days and so nice to experience.There is plenty of space for children to play safely, with some fun apparatus and a small indoor pool which seems to be very well used.Last weekend's entertainment was really good with a few bingo sessions and a singer who brought a real party vibe. The bar and restaurant prices are reasonable and the food good quality.We recommend Bucklegrove for families, couples, campers and caravaners alike.
Bucklegrove is a lovely family friendly campsite, good for couples as well. We stayed in a signature caravan with a hot tub. Fantastic clean lovely service, amazing location we travelled to Cheddar and wooky hole and Clarks village so close to everything.
Great site we enjoyed our stay staf very friendly and will return next year.
We had a lovely stay on this campsite with our young children aged 2, 7 and 9. There is a nice play area and having an indoor pool (which is lovely and warm!) was a real plus in October. It's in a great position to access lots of different attractions and we could have easily filled a lot more time (we stayed 4 nights). The seasonal pitches make it dated. The showers were clean and staff very friendly. The bar is nice but was only open for 2 nights of our stay.Feedback for improvements - 1. new shower heads. 2. Vehicles not allowed to move before 0700 - we were woken each morning at 0545 by a truck driving around 3. If you are only going to open the bar 2 evenings please consider more family friendly entertainment (or none at all preferable for us!). We came to the bar with our kids but an announcement told us bingo was starting and under 18s can't play. We didn't feel welcome so left and didn't return.
A short 2 night get away to try out our new caravan, great site to try it out. All of what you expect to see at a camp site. The shower pressure was by far the best, and no need to keep pushing a button if there was heating in there I would have spent hours in the showers! The morning hedge cutting was a bit of annoyance to wake up to on our only lie in since April, but needs must and it did not effect our views on the site. Very basic check in, majority of sites reception staff are welcoming and chatty, this was not the case here this may have been because we were later than expected due to car issues although still arrived within the arrival times. Good detailed map showing all facilities and instructions. The bar was not open on our nights there which was a shame the menu looked a great price with a nice selection and we did not use the pool as we forgot our swimsuits. Would recommend!
We first stayed at Bucklegrove for our 40th wedding anniversary , we had such a wonderful holiday we booked for this year while we were there. The lodge was really comfortable for us and our family who visited at the weekends. Everyone was up for another visit the nest year. We loved the views from the lodge, it was lovely and quiet and perfect for a peaceful holiday. There are so many wonderful places to visit nearby, we love the swimming pool and the animal grove and what a bonus to enjoy the hot tub. We all enjoyed it so much we have booked for two separate visits next year
A lovely site. Very handy for touring area. 2 lovely pubs near by .
Staff friendly, grounds kept in good order, toilets clean but out dated, bar clean and tidy, food we was good only bun for beef burger could have been toasted and food served on hot plates. I know it health and safety but we run a pub and staff took it out with tea towel, which isn’t a problem. You go some places which say to you be careful plate is hot. This lets the food down.
