 I camped at Ashe Farm for two nights in August while visiting east Devon. The site ticks my boxes - wooded location, good pitching areas, clean loos, dogs allowed and a very friendly welcome.
The charming resident owner is Sarah. She was helpful when I first phoned and gave me a warm welcome when I arrived.
I was able to pick my own non-electric pitch. Tent campers can drive across the grass and pitch beside their cars.
The grass was very dry on my visit and the ground hard after the long dry summer. But both the grass and the gravel pitches looked well maintained. There is a very gentle slope to most of the grass pitches.
There are two fields, one near the reception and beyond it a larger field. There are showers, loos and dishwashing in the nearer field, plus toilets in the further field. I didn't use the showers but the facilities blocks were clean and supplies were replenished.
The location makes a good base for exploring Somerset and east Devon. The site has very quick access to Junction 25 of the M5 motorway and Taunton town centre. The site is well signposted from the A358 and the access road looks easy for touring caravans. The barrier needs a code to enter the site.
The site is bordered by mature trees and hedges and there are smaller trees dotted about so there is plenty of shelter from the wind and the sun. There is a fenced off play ground and space for children to run and play.
There are EHU points around the edges of the fields. During my stay there was a mix of tents, camper vans and caravans.
The site is very family-friendly and thus is quiet at night. There was virtually no background noise from the nearby road. In the morning, there was distant barking by dogs in an RSPCA rescue centre but this was not intrusive.
In summary, this nice campsite is very tidy with clean if old-fashioned facilities, in a good location with a friendly resident owner. The tariff is very reasonable too - great value, in fact.
Highly recommended

I came here with my 2 children to meet up with some other families. The site was chosen, as was easily accessible from motorway and being somewhat central to accommodate the different locations we were all coming from. It has 2 fields. The upper one seems much busier, but that's probably because the shower block is there and has hard standing for the caravans. The lower field has toilets and washing up facilities as well, but no shower, but I didn't mind the walk up to the other field. Sarah, the owner comes around every morning to collect money and is very helpful and friendly
What I liked: -easy access from motorway- only 10 minutes away
- lots of space for the kids to run around and play/playground
- dog friendly
- cheap
- clean showers and toilets
- very close to Taunton and many shops
- loads of trees for shade
- drinking water taps- water was delicious!
What I didn't like: - constant road noise as dual carriageway runs close to it and motorway too.
- the barking of the dogs in the nearby RSPCA kennels, only because I feel sorry for them. It wasn't constant though.
Would I come back here? Yes I would

OK for one night stopover. Found the hard standing a bit grubby in the pitch allocated to us needs new gravel. I would have preferred to choose as there were empty pitches. Also under a large tree, and might sound moany but with a canvas elevating roof getting rid of bird poo, gum from the leaves etc is a pain if not necessary. Minimal interaction about the site other than pitch marked and when money will be collected. Lady on the next pitch facing us as she was parked the wrong way around. Her dog wandering as not on a lead. Functional as last night of our tour but would not choose it for a longer stay. Fair amount of road noise but to be expected as convenient for motorway.

A nice site.
Just outside Tauton, easy to get to, only on a side road for the last few hundred yards.
A lot of the site is grass but there are quite a few hard standings.
Site very relaxed, no constant noise from site mowers/ rubbishy collection, still a very neat tidy site though.
Shower block modern and clean. Showers do not have any annoying timer buttons.
Buses are just a few hundred yards away. Number 30, 54 and 51 go straight into Taunton.
West Somerset Railway is an easy drive away even in a motor home ( at the time of my visit motor homes can park opposite the car park on the road ).

We stopped here for one night. Used hard standing pitch near the entrance with electric hook up. Entry to the site is via an electric security barrier. Pitch was a good size for our 7m motorhome.
Set in a rural position. There was some barking from the local RSPCA kennels.
Toilet block very clean and tidy with everything working. Could possibly do with more/better lighting.
All in all a very pleasant stay.

Well found this site by accident, bought a caravan two miles up the road from it. So pulled up there for the weekend it was lovely. Very quiet beautiful view and loads of space. Hard stand if you want but we went for grass by the big tree. And it had hook up there, there is a security gate to come in and that is nice to know for a bit of security. The toilet block was excellent very clean, there are stools in the shower and a hair dryer oh and there free! has disabled shower room too lots of space in there, and somewhere to wash your dishes under cover important to me. Also has laundry room is you want one.
The owner is more than helpful, bent over backwards to get me out of a pickle when I arrived there. There is a petrol station close which sells auto gas handy for me and has a cash machine I have recommended this site to friends and will be back !

Ashe farm caravan site is a lovely site near Taunton. We stayed there overnight on our way to the south coast. And also on the way back home. There is plenty of space for children to play. If you arrived at the right time there are some really big cherry trees which are full of cherries. Just help you self. The toilets are kept nice and clean. All this for only £16 a night for caravan and 2 people

We have stayed on this site on two occasions, and we will return again, it is a lovely, peaceful, and very friendly place to stay. My husband and I would recommend Ashe Farm to everyone, you will not be disappointed. Its close to Junction 26 on the M5 which also makes it an ideal location if you are needing an overnight stop, or longer if you are visiting the area. So thank you Ashe farm for making our stay enjoyable.

Good site Clean toilets and showers. Great dog walk goes for miles. Second field has children play area. Pub at the bottom of the lane has just reopened food reasonable Turn right out of the site entrance and two miles to Farmers arms excellent food at reasonable prices.
The down side is some moron driving up and down the field next to the site for hours at a time and on a quad bike even coming onto the site so he must be something to do with the site. The constant drone of his quad bike is irritating in such quite environment to say the least

Have spent time on this site in June and also in July this year.
A super site well spaced out over 2 fields.
Our 2 dogs loved the walks up around the fields and through the woods. Lovely to be able to go for a walk straight from the site.
The owners are lovely, happy to help but not intrusive.
Lovely fenced in play area for the children and also lots of space for ball games or water slides in the 2nd field.
The site has showers and toilets, although we used the ones in the caravan, we used to see Sarah going down to clean them every day.
There is a laundry room which has washing machine and tumble dryer - you need to purchase tokens. Also there is an iron and ironing board which there is no charge to use.
