Nestled into the South Coast Countryside in South Somerset, bordering both Devon & Dorset is this unique rural log cabin & small touiring park retreat. This quiet, level oak woodland site is set in 8.5 acres of parkland naturally screened by rhododendrons amongst the mature oaks, beeches & birches.
A peaceful relaxing and fun holiday can be enjoyed at Alpine Grove. From the tranquil setting of your own log cabin, you can discover the unique charm of a holiday in beautiful woodland. Here the delights of the outdoor life are on your doorstep, discover the wealth of wildlife especially Rabbits, Pheasants, Buzzards, Woodpeckers and even Roe Deer.
Children are occupied with a play area and a giant trampoline complete with safety enclosure netting, plus the abundance of safe cycle and walking tracks within the park to explore and play safely. The woods are great for den building. Try and complete the scavenger trail and receive a prize.
We also have an outdoor heated swimming pool (approx 85 degrees F) which is positioned in a sun trap complimented with sun loungers.
The sesonal combined reception & small shop stocks most provisions and displays local information/ leaflets on the many local attractions. We stock local produce eg bacon, sausages, & milk. Camping Gaz and Calor Gas and Freezer packs are also available. The historic town of Chard is only 2 miles away (the birthplace of powered flight).
