When we planned our Somerset adventure, we were looking for somewhere peaceful, dog-friendly, surrounded by countryside — and adults only! Daisy Farm Campsite felt like the perfect place to call home for a couple of nights.
Tucked away on a working farm, Daisy Farm campsite offers beautiful views across the Somerset countryside. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, wake up to fresh air, enjoy a quiet morning coffee and let the dogs enjoy having space to explore.
We stayed on a grass pitch with electric hook-up, which cost £52 for two nights, booked through Campsites.co.uk and it was exactly the type of simple countryside camping experience we love. There’s something special about arriving at a campsite, pitching up your tent and knowing that for the next couple of days life is going to move at a much slower pace.
Of course, no campsite visit is complete without the spaniels giving everything their seal of approval! Bobby and Finn loved having a new place to sniff, explore and enjoy the freedom of being outdoors. A stay at Daisy Farm means you get to enjoy the company of the dairy cows and two adorable donkeys that live there too. The amenities are simple but clean and tidy. There are two showers and two toilets. A very cute vintage farm shop with some lovely pieces for sale and a card machine where you can arrange your own transaction to pay for items. A great addition was a shared fridge. Perfect for us and our little bottle of milk.
Daisy Farm was a great base for us — peaceful enough to relax after a day exploring, but with plenty of places nearby to visit, and the weather was glorious!
Great spots to check out while you’re staying at Daisy Farm
Cheddar Gorge
No visit to this part of Somerset would be complete without a visit to the Iconic Cheddar Gorge, a short 20 minute drive away. The impressive limestone cliffs make it one of the most famous landscapes in the area, and we loved the drive through the valley, spotting the goats on the cliff edges. The village was just as lovely with it’s independent shops. We couldn’t resist popping into the Dog Bakery for some treats for Finn and Bobby, before heading to a dog friendly cafe for a cuppa. If you are looking for a dog friendly attraction why not visit Jacob’s Ladder climbing over 450ft to the very top of the Gorge where you’ll enjoy breathtaking, panoramic views of the plateau. On our visit we unfortunately decided it was too hot at 28 degrees to climb that high.
The Sexeys Arms
On our way back to the campsite we decided to treat ourselves to a traditional pub lunch. We spotted the most interesting mural on the side wall of the pub and it instantly drew us in. The Sexeys Arms is a 16th Century pub with stone floors, beamed ceilings and open fire places making it the perfect spot. Dog friendly inside we took shade in the cool bar and ordered delicious home made curry and the infamous Sexey chicken burger. Delicious!
Burnham-On-Sea
One of the lovely things about staying at Daisy Farm is how close you are to the Somerset coast, with Burnham-On-Sea only a 10 minute drive away. We couldn’t visit without heading down to the seaside for a wander along the promenade and, of course the iconic ‘lighthouse on legs’. Standing out on the beach this unusual wooden lighthouse is one of Burnham-On-Sea’s most photographed sights and definitely worth a stop for a picture.
Our thoughts on Daisy Farm Campsite
Daisy Farm was exactly what we hoped for – a quiet, rural base where we could escape the everyday and enjoy some quality time outdoors with the spaniels.
If you’re looking for a peaceful dog-friendly camping spot in Somerset, with beautiful countryside on your doorstep and plenty of places to explore nearby, it’s definitely one to add to your list.
