Amazing
Lovely cabin and great location. We didn’t use any of the facilities on the park so can’t comment on those but our holiday home had everything we needed for our short break. Close to the beach for exploring, dog walking and fishing! Would definitely book again

Perfect stay
This is a great place to stay with your fury friends, I stayed here as a solo female traveller and my dog. I felt completely safe and at home, the park itself has everything you need.

Briards retreat stay 2022
Caravan lodge is in a great location with good local amenities. Price was great, good value for money. Could be cleaner, as not very clean on our arrival. Beds are uncomfortable and new mattresses needed as you can feel the springs as you sleep. Otherwise, great fun :) thank you.

Hi Mollie, thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay. The mattress is less than a year old and choose one of the best ones. We have not had any complaints but I suppose it is personal choice. We have slept on it numerous times and it is the best night sleep we have! In regards to the clean, it was spotless as the cleaners take pictures of everything before they leave and spend a lot of time and effort to make it so, this, again, is the only complaint we have had to both of these observations.

Lovely mini break
Was clean, well equipped and fit for all year round breaks. Great for dogs particularly the beach walk to Watchet (short walk to beach itself!). Only thing missing was an enclosed area so that the dog could be let off the lead… The park itself was clean and tidy and well worth an explore. The chippy in Wiliton was well worth the visit as well 😊😊. Would definitely go back 👍🏼

Very Good Accommodation and Setting
We found this accommodation to be very good, very clean and in a beautiful location. There is a very nice and spacious garden area to 3 sides of the accommodation with plenty of room to park and kids to play. There is also lots of open space around the accommodation and the beach is very close too.

Almost perfect
The site Home Farm is very pretty, well looked after, well located and basically perfect. The view from the cabin is gorgeous, the private garden is great, playground, pub, shop, beautiful beach and general atmosphere is perfect. Inside it's not modern, which didn't bother us, it's spacious enough and everything works fine. Lot's of nice home comforts like a few kid's toys, books, dvds, cds, blankets, cushions, TV in each room, comfy couches and garden furniture. Small grumble is the "kid's" bedroom is only separated from the lounge by a curtain - this made evenings difficult as we had to sit in the bedroom or outside. Big grumble (big, big grumble) is that the main bed is totally broken. The Base is caved in, so you roll into the middle, it's not possible for 2 people to share the bed and very uncomfy even for 1. My husband has a dodgy back so I let him sleep on the couch, which was more comfy than the bed. It's such a shame as I would be booking to come back if I knew that the bed was replaced. everything else is lovely enough to make it worth asking, as we (parents with kids 7and 4) would all love to return.

Hi Michelle, thank you for your review. The bed base isn't broken, it is a Victorian sprung base. We replaced the mattress a couple of months ago, It is on the soft side (I find it soft) but my husband says its fine, so personal preference really. We may replace it for a firmer mattress in the future.

Great !!
Our second visit to this lovely cabin. Very homely and comfortable in its own lovely garden with everything you need for a perfect stay. Dog friendly. Ours loves it as much as we do. Everything is open on this quiet friendly park in a good location for the surrounding area. Jayne the owner is very helpful and responds to any questions quickly. Can't fault it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
