Ayuda
We would like help with the campsite such as grass cutting, cleaning tasks, caring for the animals, helping with the poly tunnel and gardening.
Knowledge and a love of animals would be beneficial. Experience of working in a group and able to use common sense to help with practical tasks.
Although we are on an arable farm, our business is focused on the campsite so this is where we need help and not with farming.
We have had a lot of enquiries from families, however, this position is more suited to friends and couples, not children, sorry!
A knowledge of cleaning, grass cutting and enjoyment of the countryside and animals would be beneficial.
Thank you.

The beach and hills are all within walking distance. We have bikes to borrow if needed. There is a local bus service from the top of our lane to visit 'Minehead' and 'Bridgwater.' We would be happy for Workawayers to spend days out with us as a family.
We are generally very busy on the farm and Campsite and are here most days.

Ashton came to help us in February for 1 month, however due to lockdown ended up staying for nearly 5 months. We enjoyed having Ashton around, his calm approach to any tasks, helpful attitude and willingness to help with anything needed.
We would not hesitate in recommended Aston to other hosts, 😊

We spent 8 wonderful weeks on Moorside Farm Campsite and absolutely loved our stay. The hosts immediately made us feel very welcome and were always very friendly, kind and thoughtful. The work was exactly as we imagined. Once we had finished the cleaning and rubbish round we enjoyed finding jobs to do around the site grounds and helping out where… read more we could. Simon and Helena left us to work independently but were always available if we had any queries. Our accommodation was perfect with everything we needed, we were extremely happy there! We were pleased to be able to look after the site for a week allowing the family a much deserved holiday.
For us this was a perfect placement and we would certainly recommend it to others.
Lovely family, wonderful campsite and excellent accommodation!! We were sad to leave.

We will really miss ‘Alison and Romy’ and the help they have given us over the last couple of months has been invaluable.
From the start, Alison and Romy approached all tasks with gusto. Nothing was ever a problem and we felt very relaxed and trusted them both implicitly.
We were fortunate enough to take a weeks break with our children and Alison… read more and Romy held the fort for us. Due to the nature of our business, this is not an easy task to take on, however we felt very comfortable leaving everything in their capable hands.
We would not hesitate in recommending Alison and Romy to other Workaway Hosts and wish them both lots of luck for the future 😊

We love their girls, they are really good girls and we loved to spend time with them swimming in the pool, or playing a board game. This summer was amazing because we´ve… read more been with an amazing family. We miss them so much (We miss sausage and bonny too).

We stayed at the campsite for 5 months and it was the loveliest experience.
Simon, Helena and the kids were super welcoming and warm, always taking us with them to their trips, having lunch together or playing in the garden. We really felt like being a part of the family.
The caravan is perfect and was just like a second home for us.
Helena is… read more the most caring person, always making sure we had everything we needed (and more, we lived in such a luxus XD) and often showing up with some special home made food to surprise us.
The work was really easy to do, and Simon always adds fun to it, making horrible jokes you can't help but laugh at haha
In resume we had a peaceful and very happy time in Somerset, will definitely come back one day and totally recommend it!
We'll also always be grateful and miss you guys
lots of love,
Naza and Sula

Working with Simon & Helena was a great experience. We were going to arrive earlier than expected and we were graciously allowed to camp until our Workaway formally started, which helped us out enormously. The accommodation is great and it's like your own little piece of privacy within the campsite, and all needs were catered for. Work… read more expectations were clearly laid out and nothing was too much trouble. Our duties included some light maintenance, mowing grass, emptying and sorting refuse bins/areas, cleaning and replenishing toilet/shower blocks, helping customers with wood for BBQ's, being point of contact when owners were absent, helping customers with queries and being friendly to ensure a good experience was had by visitors.
We ended up staying for 6 months during the campsite off-season and winter - the area is picturesque and on waking up one morning to a blanket of snow was wonderful. Helping out with moving the horses, feeding the hens and guinea pigs, the occasional dog sitting. We were pleased to help out this lovely family and were happy that they were able to take time out for breaks and holidays and felt happy that we were entrusted to be responsible in their absence with the day to day running of the site.
Both Simon & Helena are super friendly and I especially miss our chats over coffee around the aga (traditional kitchen oven), not forgetting some of the scrumptious cake!! For us this Workaway opened our eyes to life on a campsite and we actually moved on to a more formal paid position a few miles down the road, so for that also we will be eternally grateful. Was also great to bump into the family again, and see their smiling faces, down were we moved too.
The area itself typifies life in the English Countryside and the views of the Quantocks are fabulous.
This is a great Workaway and couldn't recommend it highly enough really. We really did feel appreciated all the time we were there.

We loved having ‘Maggie and Konrad’ to help us on our campsite. From the moment they arrived, nothing was ever an issue and they always approached tasks with a happy smile and willingness to get stuck in!
We enjoyed having an extra pair of hands to help us with daily tasks and the children LOVED playing with Maggie and Konrad.
We would recommend… read more hosting these guys as we would not hesitate in welcoming them back to stay with us.
Good luck with the rest of your travels, x

We had such a wonderful time volunteering for Simon and Helena! They are incredibly kind and generous hosts who always made us welcome and comfortable. The accommodation is spectacular (the best we’ve experienced on Workaway). The work is easy and straightforward, we were on a regular morning schedule cleaning the campsite bathrooms and collecting… read more the rubbish, and we also helped out with some bigger projects. The campsite is in a beautiful area of rural Somerset with plenty of woodland and seaside nature to explore. We were never bored with Simon and Helena, there’s always something fun going on. The girls are lovely, and we had a great time getting to know them and looking after them around the farm.
We can’t recommend this workaway highly enough :)
Thank you all for everything, we miss you and hope to see you again!
-Maggie and Konrad
