Hill Farm CC CL
Dinnington,
Hinton St George,
Somerset,
TA17 8TG
Open: 1st March 23 to 30th Sept 23 (subject to weather conditions)
£20pn Incl Awning, EHU. Or £17pn without EHU.
Arrival 12.00
We stayed here for 7 nights in June, easy access, site is down its own tarmac drive which is single lane with a couple of passing places. The owners keep the site in perfect condition the pitches are all grass and well spaced out with their own recycle bin and general waste bin, recycling is collected daily. Views and sunsets are stunning from 4 of the pitches (pitch 5 is against the hedge opposite the site entrance. Fresh water and chemical toilet point are next to the orchard (next to pitch 4) in a rustic enclosure, the chemical toilet rinse has a spray gun which can be a bit of a problem when the trigger is released. The fresh water is from the owners own well and is treated by UV light system, so the water can be quite hot if no one has drawn any off for a while, the water pressure is good. The site has no light pollution so stars are abundant. Pitches are on a slope so levelling blocks are usually needed; the owner can supply these if needed. There are no facilities for Motorhome waste water discharge. You may be lucky enough to see a Red Kite in the sky above too.
Many footpaths are direct from site but some are not clearly marked and have rotten and unstable stiles, so extra care is needed. The owners can provide laminated walks if requested.
NT properties, Barrington Hall, Montacute and Tintinhull are close by. As is the private gardens of Forde Abbey.
This is a working farm, so do expect farm vehicles and the odd movement of cows, to be passing along the road behind the site, but this did not cause any problems.
We will certainly be returning here.
