Tuesday 19th August – Saturday 23rd August 2008
This recently redeveloped site is accessed from the A396 Tiverton to Minehead road. There is a road junction to the south of the site that needs a little concentration but there is a brown Lakeside sign and basically you stay on the A396. If you arrive before 1PM you are instructed to go to the late arrivals area as the wardens are busy on toilet block cleaning duties and you cannot get through the security barrier. The grass pitching areas were suffering from the extensive rain that had fallen on this part of the UK over August but I was lucky and managed to find a hardstanding on the top terrace that has good views over the surrounding countryside. Many people pitched nose first on one side of the road to take advantage of this.
There is a path from the back of the site to the Anchor Inn which is not very far away. However it is important that you follow the instructions given by the Wardens as the path is not a right of way. We had an evening meal in the restaurant and thought it was good value. The pre meal beer had me a little worried. The taste of the beer is superb but unfortunately it is flat with no head and looks horrible. If you bought it in Yorkshire you would be back at the bar in seconds.
There is a bus service from outside the pub that runs between Minehead and Tiverton. Shops, banks and a small supermarket are situated in Dulverton but if you require anything more substantial you have to travel to Tiverton. The whole of Exmoor to the north is available to explore.
Analogue TV signal good from bollard connection. [Got a watchable signal using aerial from our pitch].
Digital signal not available.
£20.10 per night [average] 1 adult for 2 nights. 3 adults for 2 nights.
