Karen and Simon are friendly and welcoming hosts. They keep the toilet and shower facilities very clean and have the added touch of shower and hair products available. There is also a washing up area available. The site is very peaceful on the edge of Bishops Lydeard village. The pitches are a good size and well kept and there is woodland around the edge of the site. We also loved watching the geese roaming around the paddock and the chickens that wandered around the site. A short walk takes you to the West Somerset Railway where you are able to board a steam train to Minehead or get off at one of the numerous stations between. The Quantock Brewery tap room is next to the station and definitely worth a visit. There are also a couple of pubs in the village which do food. On our final night, even though there were more campers, it was still very quiet and peaceful. We would definitely love to go back as we came away feeling very relaxed. Thank you so much Karen and Simon! · via Google [Dave](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108116515737554849202/reviews) ★★★★★ Amazing welcome even though i was a little later than planned, friendly menagerie including the new pup. Fairly easy access in an 8.7m C Class, though a little snug if you aren't comfortable in your vehicle yet. Lovely quiet site, and so peaceful. I wish I could have stayed longer. I will be back. Best night's sleep in a long while. Thank you Karen for your amazing little hidden gem of a site. · via Google [Dave Pass](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117593625816451777420/reviews) ★★★★★ A fantastic long weekend on the camp site. A well organised and maintained site with warm showers and clean toilets. The site has pitches with and without electrical hook-ups and welcomes caravans, tourers and tents. Vehicles can be parked adjacent to your pitch too. The site is sheltered by established trees to the North and East. Pitches are relatively flat with a gentle roll towards the North end of the site. Ground is firm and would recommend a mallet to help tent pegs go 'home'. Location is fantastic, a 7 minute walk to the West Somerset Railway station, 10 minutes to the Brewery and about 12 minutes to the bus stop where regular busses to Taunton and to Minehead pass through. Site is typically quiet with negligible Road noise and no industry to upset the peace. Great views and helpful and friendly owners. Will definitely be back. · via Google [Jeff Robinson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110941703095472863564/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely site, great location near village and bus stops to Taunton, Watchett and Minehead. Facilities basic but always spotlessly clean with Eco toiletries included. And Karen's beautiful chickens are great entertainment! · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486df17d1013dcbd:0xdfe44a491d77c288!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Mill Lane, Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, TA4 3LN [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.0540875%2C-3.2009190) **Category** Landmarks & Monuments **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (78 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Dogs allowed** Yes **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Taunton [More attractions in Taunton](https://staycation.co.uk/taunton/attractions) ★ 4.6 (78 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.bishopslydeardmill.co.uk/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01823 432151](tel:01823432151) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Taunton **Postcode** TA4 3LN **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C3R3Q3X+JJ [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x486df17d1013dcbd:0xdfe44a491d77c288!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486df17d1013dcbd:0xdfe44a491d77c288!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486df17d1013dcbd:0xdfe44a491d77c288!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Taunton Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
