Default Ideas for event location

I am looking for somewhere with the following combinations for an event in september. Anyone been anywhere that sounds like it would fit the bill?

Bunkhouse or similar with room for about 24
Camping with about 20 pitches
Close to other B&B (i.e. short taxi or something) for the faint hearted
Decent pub in easy walking distance
Suitable for kids (bah humbug)
Will accept incoming catering like a hog roast
Not stupid far from Bristol or at least central (i.e. not cornwall or lakes etc)

I have identified a few places but none quite fit bill (not enough facilities for campers, no pub, too regimented etc etc.

Any ideas?

Woodhouse Park, Almondsbury, Bristol
BS32 4LX

It's a feckin large scout camp, but you can hire out sections of it, such as just one of the bunkhouses as required. Not too familiar with the surrounding villages, facilities etc - just been to a couple of events there a few years back.

Scout camps can be expensive, though - may be worth a look, maybe not.
