At the cusp of coast and countryside, the Bucklegrove Holiday Park offers comfortable home living in the heart of rural Wessex. Perfectly positioned close to an array of nearby activities, this park is the ideal place to retreat from your daily life and explore all that Wessex has to offer.
Bucklegrove began as a Tea Room in the 1940s, and you can still enjoy a tea and scone at the park's onsite café! Other onsite facilities include a stunning indoor swimming pool heated for your comfort, as well as an outdoor play area and a games room for kids of all ages. An onsite shop will provide you with all your holiday home essentials. Be sure to stop by The Lodge, Bucklegrove's onsite Bar, Grill and Restaurant, for culinary delights, local delicacies, and relaxation rain or shine with both a sun terrace and a covered outdoor area.
These woodland cabins are beautifully decorated and well equipped. The Platinum Lodges are our particular favourites: these wooden lodges are ideal for family getaways of up to six people, with a spacious open plan living area, a cosy veranda, and a private hot tub with stunning views of the Mendip Hills. The Luxury caravans also offer hot tub relaxation with a quaint and homely feel. The Luxury 2 has two bedrooms and sleeps up to four people, or for larger groups, go for the Luxury 3, which can host up to six guests.
The park is close to multiple nearby attractions and activities: explore the UK's largest cave system at Wookey Hole, a spiralling system of caverns and rock formations that will leave you in awe. For the adventure-seekers amongst you, head to Cheddar Gorge, an international centre for caving and rock-climbing with cliffs reaching 450 feet! If that's not enough exhilaration for you, be sure to head to the Grand Pier, a completely indoor theme park (perfect whatever the weather!) with a large variety of family friendly rides and attractions for a day of fun you'll never forget.

38 reviews from guests who stayed at Bucklegrove Holiday Park
"We had a lovely week in a caravan. A small quiet site was very relaxing and wonderfull views of the surrounding countryside . Excellent location in between Wells and Cheddar. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely book again and recommend."
"Had a great time, would definitely come again."
"The Caravan was a great size the only small niggle was the carpet in the lounge. We had a push along carpet cleaner that didn't really do much. I have 2 non moulting breed type dogs so I'm not use to the kind of dog hair that was found in small patches here and there. With a proper electric hoover this would have been sorted. But as its the dog accommodation caravan this is to be expected."
"Great accommodation4 adults 2 dogs and a baby"
"Our Bucklegrove Holiday Park review: The caravan was very clean and comfortable but it was very worn and the floor had started to go on it. Bed was very comfortable. The park was really good and staff were very friendly and welcoming."
"Love Bucklegrove can't fault the site as it's really a lovely place to stay, but some or the caravans i'v stayed in are starting to look a little tired, staff great really helpfull & friendly, on site bar great (when it's open), having said that I'll be back maybe later this year."
"Lodge No 3 location lovely great views. Lodge itself was ok not cleaned to my standards and needs some Tlc. Hot tub ok but only sore the water being tested twice while we were there and my understanding is that it should be tested daily. The area around the hot tub was fenced so it was private But there are no gates so the dog had to be on a leash every time it was used and it would not take much to put gates in either side so dogs could have a little freedom. The Staff were very helpful and friendly. All in all we had a lovely week with plenty of places in and around the area to go and see."
"Great site, great place, great staff, accommodation a bit tatty needed a bit of tlc."
"If you are looking for standard accommodation at a good price in a location close to Cheddar then this holiday park is a good choice."
"This was a comfortable caravan, but could do with a few more cooking pans etc. One or two repairs are needed. We enjoyed having a balcony so that we could get fresh air without worrying about the dog escaping!"
"Site very clean and well run.Very friendly and helpful staff.Caravan a bit dated but adequate for value of holiday."
"Had a lovely break here! The park is really nice, plenty to keep us busy and the scenery is stunning."
"The hot tub was a bit cosy and lacked privacy, which was a little disappointing. The playground for the kids was quite small and lacked variety. But overall, we had a lovely weekend and would definitely return for a long weekend again. Nice break!"
"Hot tub was a bit small and not very private and the play ground for the children abit 2 small not a lot in it but apart from that we had a lovely weekend and would go back for a long weekend again"
"We really enjoyed our stay, exploring different spots around the area. The caravan was spotless and comfy, loved the hot tub!"
"We had such a lovely stay in this good place! The location is gorgeous and really private, perfect for relaxing. The owners were genuinely friendly and always there if we needed anything, but they didnt intrude on our space. The hot tub was a real treat after cycling around the area. Just a heads up - its right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much after a while, but if you're sensitive to noise, just keep that in mind. Overall, wed definitely go back!"
"Overall, the caravan was decent size, but I expected more for a luxury place - like a TV in the main bedroom wouldve been nice. The hottub was a nice touch, but it could definitely do with some TLC since some jets werent working properly. Still, we enjoyed it!"
"Great space, everything we needed was there."
"We had a lovely, peaceful stay - really relaxing and quiet. Some more on-site entertainment would be a bonus, but we managed fine. Also, a few comfy settees in the restaurant would be perfect! Would come back again."
"We stayed at the lodge recently and honestly, it was pretty lovely overall. The views are stunning and the place was spotless, which we really appreciated. The hot tub was ready and waiting when we arrived - perfect way to unwind. Staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help us with a couple of minor issues, like some lights not working initially, but they sorted it quickly. There was also a DVD/Blu-ray player that wasnt functioning when we arrived, but they replaced it straight away. If were being picky, there was a tiny mark on the bedroom window that looked like someones face had pressed against it and a few small tears in the bedsheet, but honestly, it didnt bother us much. On our last night, we noticed the spa bath wasnt working, but I was pretty sick (food poisoning, nothing to do with the lodge), so I didnt get a chance to mention it. Overall, a great stay, just a bit of a shame about the late check-in time, especially since we paid extra for the lodge."
"Honestly, we loved every bit of it. The hosts were super friendly and really helpful, making us feel at home. The place was perfect, nestled in a beautiful spot. Were already planning our return trip!"
"We had a really good time here. Plenty to do around the area and the location is spot on, very convenient indeed."
"Really enjoyed it, especially in December!"
"Good spot to stay, even though we missed out on the restaurant. Would come again."
"Great spot for a holiday, the location really couldnt be better!"

"Really enjoyed our stay here, perfect spot to explore the surroundings easily."
"It was lovely clean and well maintained, the staff were friendly and welcoming.
The site appears small but it's larger than you think.
Our grandchildren loved the walkway with the animals in it. Enjoyed swimming each day."
"Site managers were amazing. Very hard working & dedicated. Also provided reassurance and first aid to my little one when she hurt herself. Cant thank them enough. Caravans clean and tidy, site lovely with bar, food and a park outside for children."
"A great little site between Cheddar Gorge and Wells. The caravan was clean and well equipped. I was impressed they provided all the little extras, like towels, toilet rolls, hand wash, washing up liquid, cloths and tea towels and even a hairdryer. These were much appreciated."
"Lovely place, great staff
Would stay again ?"
"Lovely staff… lady and man very helpful in every way possible.
Difficult with eating out on wed/Thursday off season due to club house closed and no other pub open in area.
Difficult for dog walks but that is easily resolved just jump in a car and go out.
We will not return but that is not a reflection on the owners, we just didn’t fit in ."
"Everything was great at Bucklegrove, 2 suggestions I would make that would have made the experience evem better
1. To have some sort of screen for the hot tub so that their is privacy from the neighbours as well as from passers by.
2. Wifi - Although it was not advertised as wifi provided, when we got there they said wifi was available, however the signal was too weak to function and mobiles were not picking up their signals from providers either.
The upside with no wifi was that kids couldn't stay in their rooms but were forced to interact"
"Brilliant, quiet holiday park, great location, small pool. Caravan was lovely and clean, loads of camping facilities onsite, highly recommended!"
"Amazing place"
"Excellent- would definitely stay again. Staff were really helpful. Caravan was well equipped and clean."

A famous Somerset hill topped by a medieval tower, with wide views across the Levels and beyond.
Glastonbury Tor is a conical hill rising from the Somerset Levels, topped by the roofless 15th-century tower of St Michael's Church. Excavations at the summit revealed the plans of two earlier churches on the site.
Tip: There is no parking at the Tor itself, so use the nearest fee-paying car park at Draper and Co on Chilkwell Street and walk, and keep your dog on a lead because sheep graze here.

Walk into Cheddar Gorge's famous cave to see rock formations and learn about its Ice Age past.
Gough's Cave sits in Cheddar Gorge on the Mendip Hills. The first 820 metres are open to the public as a show cave, and this stretch holds most of the cave's more spectacular formations. It runs on to Diamond Chamber, the end of the show cave today.

Walk around one of the best preserved Roman sites in the world, built around a natural hot spring.
