Waterrow Touring Park
Website: www.waterrowpark.co.uk
Owned and managed by Tony and Anne Taylor, who greet you like an old friend, it is easy to see why their customers return year on year. From the moment you enter this beautifully kept, adults-only site, you are constantly delighted by what is set before you. It really is a surprise to find that Tony and Anne have only been operating this gem for the past six years.
The stunning Somerset scenery around the site is glorious and can be viewed from just about every one of the 48 pitches. Being open all year allows visitors the chance to watch the changing seasons, and devotees of winter touring will be pleased to find that all the park's facilities also remain open all year.
The site runs popular 'Learn how to…' breaks between May and October, giving visitors the chance to sample courses in such diverse areas as fly fishing and beginners' Spanish. Just think how impressed colleagues would be if you returned from a break in Somerset speaking a new language!
A purpose-built disabled unit deserves special mention. The superb shower and toilet facilities, accessed with your RADAR key, are exceptionally well-thought-out and maintained, as are the rest of the park's facilities.
Taunton and the surrounding area lie a short drive away, and a half-hour's drive gives you access to the Exmoor National Park at Dulverton. Dunster Castle and Hestercombe Gardens are also pleasant diversions, each worthy of a day trip.
