 What a fantastic site ! Really beautiful, pitches are surrounded by bushes and trees. Its a quiet site but a very good base to explore the area. The showers were 50 p which wasn't an issue and they were immaculately clean. The price was very cheap and seemed value for money. The owners were very friendly. Overall we would deff stay again and would recommend this site !

We've been camping for 35 years now and this has to be one of the best campsites we've stayed at in the UK. High praise I know, but I say that because the site is modeled on continental sites with well above average space between pitches and trees, hedges or shrubs dividing each individual pitch giving lots of privacy. The tent field is definitely the best we've seen. It's flat with a great central communal BBQ area which is covered should it rain and has good quality BBQ's with lots of wooden tables and seats. We've experienced this arrangment in the Netherlands where people gather in the evenings to socialise. It's a great idea for backpackers or couples with small tents.
The whole campsite is peaceful, very pretty and well looked after with borders of flowering schrubs. The owners couldn't be more friendly and helpful giving us plenty of information about the local pubs which are really friendly with good food and a great selection of local cidars, shops etc. And all the fantastic walks from the campsite up onto the Quantock Hills.
The facilities are more than adequate with two toilet blocks, showers, dishwashing areas and a separate laundry room with washing machine and tumble drier and clothes drying area just outside. All are kept spotlessly clean. The charge was £18 per night for a caravan and two adults with dog. The charge for electricity was a £2 token which usually lasted us 2 or 3 days depending on usage and when it runs out you just buy another token. So much cheaper than other sites which can charge up to £5 a day for electricity, and which we now realise is a real rip-off!
This site is no longer a working farm but the owners keep freerange hens (selling the eggs from the farmhouse), doves and even a peacock.
We'd intended staying here for only two nights and then moving on, but loved it so much that we ended up staying for ten nights.
I highly recommend this site and just wish we didn't live so far away from it (Scotland) or we'd stay more often. I also wish more campsites in the UK were like this, instead of the usual featureless rows of hard-standings with very little space between pitches that is found in this country.
If you enjoy the countryside, peace and quiet, walking and having a really good sized grass pitch with some privacy, then this is the site for you. Such a refreshing find!

We stayed at this site for 3 nights (late May), this was our first camping for 35 years plus so we were somewhat apprehensive, we arrived to be greeted by our host who showed us to our pitch and explained everything we needed to know. Everything we wanted was to hand and the place is kept spotlessly clean The showers are a short distance from the pitches and are well maintained and at 50p for a full five mins a real bargain. The hook up is prepaid and sold in units of £1. 00 so you use as much or as little as you like.
The campsite was not overcrowded so gave you that 'getting away from it all effect' We cannot praise this site enough a real gem!

Good site. Very flat and despite several heavy downpours it's well draining. Facilities are good and what I'd describe as above basic. 2 blocks, 1 loos in camping field, another showers and loos in caravan field. Showers are 50p and give plenty if not too much time, suggest reduce time& price.
Charged £10ppn for 1 person in a 2 man tent. Ok for value as some thieves charge more.
20 min walk to pub and hills just follow the wooden post past the farmhouse. The Plough is a good pub, food basic, ale choice limited but Chris is a welcoming host - free wifi important for tourers.
The area is great for walkers. The local Quantock Hills are excellent.
Go back? Probably.

We stayed here for 2 nights and wished we had been able to stay for longer. We will definitely be returning in the future.
Good sized pitches with electric and plenty of space. Toilet facilities were good, sheltered BBQ area was very popular and provided a very useful socialising / seating area for the evening. Site was within easy walking distance of the pub and walks up the various wooded paths to the top of the Quantocks.
The owners were very helpful and relaxed in their approach as were the hens who wandered freely around the site. At last a site that has a realistic pricing policy. A real find!

Great views of the hills and landscape surrounding this well-run spacious site on a retired dairy farm. There is plenty of space for children to run around, and the various farmyard birds, including a peacock help to keep them amused. The site was not at all busy at the end of July, and could happily have held a lot more people without being overused. Good clean facilities, and a nice barbecue area. The owners are pleasant, helpful and relaxed and produce their own cider which is worth trying. The dry version got our vote. Plenty of things to do in the surrounding area, including beaches which are not too far by car.

Just got back from a wonderful weekend on Moorhouse campsite. The weather wasn't great with rain showers all through, but it didn't spoil our stay as the facilities on the site were so fabulous. The local area was beautiful (even when the sun wasn't out). The owners of the site must work so hard to keep everything so well stocked and tidy. The toilets and wash up rooms were very close to our tent and always kept clean and well supplied. The wet room showers were a bit further to walk and cost 50p but again clean and lovely hot water. There was a sheltered area on our field where you could bbq and have fires which was great as it would've been a bit wet and windy by our tent. It was also a good place to meet the other campers and have a chat around the fire in the evening. The whole campsite was planted beautifully to give picturesque surroundings. I am usually a very fussy camper but I think I smiled all weekend :) By far THE best site we've stayed on and will be booking there again - feel like we've discovered a really well kept secret!

I stayed at this campsite for 3 nights from 9th July, it was my second successive year camping here, and it’s been fantastic both times.
For what I want from a campsite this place is brilliant. It is lovely and quiet, in a beautiful setting, at the head of numerous mountain bike trials.
The site has separate fields for tents, visiting caravans and permanent pitches, with clean toilet blocks, showers, laundry and washing up kitchens. The camping field also has in the centre a covered area containing a fridge as well as fire pit and BBQ for campers’ use.
There are electrical hook up’s in the tent field, as well as 2 Camping pods for those travelling light or want a little extra protection from the elements.
If you want a club house or playground, this isn’t for you, but if you want to watch the swallow’s swoop over the meadows during the day, and the bats flick inches above your head whilst listening to the tawny owls hoot in the nearby woods this is the venue for you.
The owners are very friendly, with Jane making regular rounds, greeting her guests, and her husband tending to the grounds, both always happy for a chat, and full of useful local information.
New for us this year was the scrumpy cider made from apples harvested from the farm’s orchard and “brewed” on site, by Mad Apple Cider. Delicious, but traditionally potent!

We spent some time searching for a camp site in this general area and it paid off as moorhouse was a lovely site extremely well tended and well set out
The bbq pavilion was very useful as it had two fridges inside and no matter where you were pitched you were close
The toilet and shower blocks are a little dated and need some attention but they are clean and they do have an indoor washing up area which is a bonus
Electric cards were £1 and lasted a good while
The local pub the plough was about a 20 min walk away or a 5 min drive and the food was very good and reasonably priced but you will need your car to get any takeaways
Take note of the directions on their website our friend didn't and followed the sat nav you cant get to it that way
a very nice campsite for the family even without any play area as there is a big field right next door to run around in
The ground drains well as once again we had plenty of rain and the grass was kept nicely mown
We would recommend this campsite as we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

Enjoyed a 5 night stay in August. We had actually booked another site but they had to cancel our booking so we ended up at Moorhouse Farm and were very glad we did.
Nothing to fault, level pitches, plenty of space, beautifully cared for, with shrubs, rockeries, etc and the herb garden a nice touch. Site not over busy during our stay, although you don't feel it is busy as it is so well set out with areas separated by trees, hedges so you are not really aware of other caravans and tents.
Two fridges provided meant we could forget about icepacks etc. BBQ area, toilets spotless, only 3 showers but never a queue.
Owners very friendly and helpful and regularly out and about.
Nice to walk to The Plough in Holford via footpath so not on main road, didn't eat there but friendly folk and menu looked good.
Good walks coastal path and inland, beautiful scenery AONB. Highly recommended!
