About us

Deep roots in the Somerset countryside

For over 40 years, Batcombe Vale has welcomed campers to this farm in the heart of Somerset. Set among rolling hills and open fields, the valley retains its rural character, with Friesian cattle grazing the surrounding pastures, keeping the valley's farming heritage alive.

Nature leads the way

Red deer wander down from the woods, while hares, pheasants and bird of prey can be spotted across the valley.

A few years ago, we retired the rowing boats on our lake to encourage wildlife. Today, kingfishers, herons and dragonflies are among its visitors.

Fresh spring water, naturally filtered through the surrounding hills, supplies the site directly from our private borehole.

Our cider orchard, wildflower meadows and woodland glade provide habitats for bees, butterflies, and native birds.

A place people return to

Over the years, we've had the pleasure of welcoming guests back time and again.

Being named Best Campsite in Somerset on Channel 4's The Perfect Pitch was a wonderful moment, but hearing that someone has enjoyed their stay enough to return is just as rewarding.

A warm welcome from us

Batcombe Vale is a place we're very lucky to call home, and we love sharing it with others.

There's something special about waking up outdoors, that first cup of coffee in the vale, and having the freedom to spend your days walking, exploring or simply relaxing in the sunshine. As evening falls, settle in beside a firebowl beneath the stars.

Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, we hope you'll enjoy this little corner of Somerset as much as we do.
