Non-refundable Deposit

[Current Online Booking Policy] There will be a non-refundable deposit for all online booking payments, amounting to either…

  • £25 or…

  • …the balance, if the total booking fee is less than £25

  • The non-refundable deposit may be applied to an alternate camping visit anytime until the end of October in the current year’s camping season.


  • However: IF you are at all uncertain about your ‘booking dates’, or your ‘party numbers’, or ‘the weather’, simply mention in the “Comments” section at the end of the online booking form that you would prefer to “pay on arrival.” Cash or BACS onlyPlease and Thank You! — and no financial “otherwise” if you do not.

  • Last and not least… you are more than welcome to simply “turn up” — Westermill will find space for you. Just remember — Cash or BACS only! — Oh, yes: you will still have to fill in the required booking data when you arrive… […might be easier to do it online at home, so that it is done, whether or not you get here?]

Alteration by the Client

If you have to alter your visit, please inform us as soon as possible, so that we can be as accommodating as possible.

Changes to numbers of participants or dates of arrival and/or departure will be accommodated.

Monies owed due to increased participant numbers, number of vehicles, etc. may be paid either before or upon arrival.

Cancellation by the Client

If you have to cancel your visit, please inform us as soon as possible, so that we can be as accommodating as possible.

All monies which have been paid, excluding the non-refundable deposit, will be returned.

The non-refundable deposit may be applied to an alternate camping visit anytime until the end of October in the current year’s camping season.

In the event of your camping pitch becoming unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control — such as a mandated “local lockdown” which affects Westermill Farm — a refund of all monies paid, less a £5 handling charge, will be made by Westermill Farm.

In the event of your camping pitch becoming unavailable due to circumstances within our control — a refund of ALL monies paid will be made by Westermill Farm.

Responsibility for Client’s Property

The Edwards family cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to client’s or guest’s personal property — including damage to vehicles, horse boxes or trailers parked at Westermill Farm — howsoever caused by the client, members of their party or other visitors to Westermill Farm.

Recycling and Rubbish

Westermill Farm cannot accept any container (bag or box) holding a mixture of materials — this is our definition of “rubbish” and as such must be removed by the camper(s) — or sorted by material and placed into the appropriate container to be recycled … which seems much easier (for all of us).

Westermill provides a recycling area — see Campsite Diagram which accepts:

  • Paper
  • Plastic
  • Cans
  • Glass
  • Food waste

Westermill provides specialised receptacles for dog waste — see Campsite Diagram

Please take broken camping equipment eg. chairs, tents, gazebos, etc. to your local recycling facility or the nearest facility to Westermill Farm: Minehead Recycling Centre

Naturally, we ask everyone to help keep the site clean and tidy.

We ask everyone who uses the loo and shower blocks to help keep them clean and tidy and to kindly report anything they feel is out of order.

Children

Children must always have appropriate supervision while on the farm.

We are parents ourselves and know full well how “adventurous” children can be, and how difficult it is to supervise them on holiday — what we ask is that you do your best to assure the safety of others in a manner equal to the security you wish to provide for your own children.
