“Glamping fun”
+We spent 7 nights in the submarine and absolutely loved it! The beds were super comfortable! Nice memory foam mattress on the double bed and the sofa/single bed was just as good. Toilets and showers were only a short walk away and always being cleaned & maintained by staff. The showers were powerful and hot no matter what time we went. We used the laundrette which helped us pack less as there wasn’t much room to store bags/cases. We used the child’s bunk bed for storage and all the space around the side of the double bed.. some stuff stayed in the boot of the car which was fine. We would definitely stay here again in the future
−Can’t say anything really bothered us but maybe a parasol would have been nice. The stand for one was there but nothing else.

“Amazing experience that my 2 young grandchildren will always remember.”
+The submarine is quirky and surprisingly comfortable with everything we needed for a 2 night stay. The staff are fabulous and the location of the campsite is great for exploring Cheddar. My grandchildren didn’t want to leave! I would highly recommend 😊
−It’s almost perfect, just a bit of a trek to the toilet block with young children in the dark..I can imagine it would be worse in wet weather! A little bridge over the river for a more direct route would be very handy. Would have liked a bit more choice of things in the little shop but as it’s not far to the village it isn’t a major problem. Unfortunately the on-site cafe wasn’t open which we didn’t know until we arrived.

+A great quirky place to stay and excellent position as walking distance from the main village. Site was lovely with very friendly helpful staff
−Bit of a walk to go to the shower/toilet block - site owner said there was a pedestrian bridge coming soon to cut out the long walk round the field. A torch is a must for late night visits to the loo!

+The bed was so super comfy. It was a treat to have running water, a bbq already set up and a fridge. It wasn't too far from the showers and toilets or from our friends camping in another field. We loved all the buttons! We kept finding more buttons and lights over the weekend, it was so much fun. The food available for breakfast was excellent too and all staff were super helpful.
−We could have done with the picnic table that seems to be in a lot of photos. We would have brought a table if we'd known it wasn't there anymore.

+Staying in a submarine is not something I thought I would find myself doing at 53, but it looked good fun - and that is exactly what it was. We were very lucky with the weather and were able to sit outside with a fire pit, which we also grilled some food on. I was delighted when a cat joined us for both evenings. I would love to stay here with my young grandchildren if we came back this way.

+The novelty as our 2 year old loved it with the switches that he could play with. Also plenty of room for him to run around outside and to explore. Nice touches leaving tea bags coffee and sugar for our arrival.
−Awkward getting in and out of the submarine but that didn't detract from the enjoyment that we got from staying there.

“The perfect family stay.”
+Everything was amazing. From start to finish it was a complete blast. The views were incredible. Everyone on site is incredibly helpful and polite. The submarine was nothing short of magical!

“Themed overnight stay - a real adventure for the whole family”
+If it weren't for this yellow little boat, we probably would’ve never discovered such a cozy town like Cheddar and its surroundings. In reality, it's just a repurposed lifeboat from a large ship. The biggest upside - this temporary shelter is located in a large campsite, so you can grill your own food, meet other fun people, sit by the campfire, and have a good time together. Just a 6-minute drive (or a 30-minute walk) away lies the well-known town of Cheddar, home to just under 10,000 people. It’s a familiar name because everyone has probably tasted Cheddar cheese at some point. It's the most popular cheese in the world, and it originated right here. It’s a point of pride for all of England, even though nowadays the largest producer is actually the U.S. But Cheddar is known for more than just cheese - it’s also famous for its ciders. The entire county of Somerset boasts a mild climate and clay-rich soil, which is ideal for special cider apple varieties (many of which are too bitter or sour to be eaten raw). All in all, it's a very interesting little town, full of charming local shops. And that’s not all! This small town also boasts the largest gorge in the UK! As a result, you can
−The biggest downside - during the day it gets unbearably hot inside, making it nearly impossible to stay in.
