This is like no caravan i have ever stayed in, its beautiful, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Everything you need, high quality furnishings, the bed was so comfortable, it was like a home from home. The views from the front decking are breath taking especially at sunset, watching the sun going down over the sea was amazing. I can not recommend this caravan enough. Its located in a lovely quiet area but only a couple of minutes walk to all the main site facilities. Absolutely 10 out of 10

Thank you for your brilliant review. We were fortunate to get a choice of pithes on this new development. We chose the one with the best views. Hope to see again. Many thanks Terry and Julie

I admit to being a little nervous booking during the post lockdown period having read some reviews on Trip Advisor for the Haven Caravan parks caravan cleanliness, and chose a privately owned caravan for this reason. We were delighted with both the condition and the cleanliness of the accommodation when we arrived. The caravan is really high end and well kept. The dishwasher and washing machine were much appreciated, having to self cater a fair bit owing to struggles getting meals out. The en suite to the master bedroom also made things a lot quicker getting us all out early for the day too! The position of this caravan is at the very back of the park, adjoining adjoining farmland, so really peaceful, yet we were pleasantly surprised to also have a sea view owing to its elevated position. Wonderful sunsets. A fairly heavy storm blew in for a couple of days, but we were sound and snug at night. It was very solid! There’s no faffing swapping gas tanks as it’s piped into the mains supply, and we did have to test the central heating one night (August...I know!) as it was very chilly, but it worked superbly. The park itself, whilst not our typical choice of holiday location, is quiet with generally well behaved children. The shop is well stocked, but we didn’t try any of the leisure facilities - not our scene really that’s all. The beach is nice for a walk although probably too rocky and muddy for sitting. Mine head further South West is much better. The park is positioned on the Somerset Coastal path so there is some excellent walking around, and some nice country pubs (book ahead though!). The Windmill, the Butchers Arms and the White Horse being our favourites. Watchet centre was a bit ‘closed’ but this may have been due to the Coronavirus issues. Dunster Castle and village, The Torre Cider Farm, Cleeve Abbey, Exmoor villages and Tropiquairia were all superb. The only slight inconvenience was having to take our own bedding and towels which took a fair bit of space in car, but I guess this was due to the Coronavirus restrictions, but we stayed in accommodation the week before where it was all provided, so I think this varies from place to place. All in all, a wonderful caravan, and a great base in a peaceful location to explore this beautiful area.

Thank you for your very good review. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay you certainly seemed to have explored the area well. With Regards bed linen and towels, we use a cleaning service who have undertaken coronavirus training and follow Haven's guidelines not to handle bedding or towels. We understand this may present a slight inconvenience for some but we believe it is right to take every precaution possible to prevent the spread of coronavirus and this would have been fully explained to you and all guests prior to arrival. Many thanks Terry and Julie.

Lovely clean tidy caravan in a very good location with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and the sea, you can even see Minehead in the distance. The caravan had everything we needed for a comfortable holiday with two nice furnished decks for sitting outside in the sun. There were lots of lovely walks to do and a little farm with a farm shop and afternoon teas right next door. The pretty village of Watchet can be reached by a very energetic walk across the beach and some very steep steps, (it's also about a five minute drive away) Considering the current situation with Covid 19 the caravan and whole site felt very safe.

Thank for your lovely review. Yes it is nice scenic park and they have made a great effort to get things right regarding coronavirus. Regards Terry and Julie

Just returned from a five night break feeling fully rested and recharged. The caravan is spotless and equipped to a high standard including hair dryer, iron, washing machine etc.. The location of the caravan is perfect if you like to be away hustle and bustle of the activities on the site but still within a short walking distance if you wish to access them. I have a 8 year old who’s had the time of his life playing on the outdoor equipment. Terry has been fantastic, from calls to check we’ve arrived safely, instructions were to find things in caravan etc.. Don’t think I’ve ever received service like it. We booked this as a last minute break having had our abroad holiday cancelled and just needing to get away for a few day. I honestly didn’t have high expectations. It has been amazing, met so many friendly people and definitely book with Terry again. One last point, it was great being able to take the dog.., he’s had the time of his life! If you are concerned about the caravan smelling “doggy” or grubby because of this don’t be. Even as a dog owner this is something that always bothers me, no trace of our four legged friends at all. Can’t wait to return..x

Thank you for your your wonderful review. Very much hope to see you again. Regards Terry and Julie
