Liked: Facilities were great. Pooche loved the pond! Nice to have a bar and cafe onsite. Pitches decent size and well kept. Once you negotiate the roads there's a good selection of local pubs to visit. Particularly liked The Fishers Pond - great setting.
Disliked: 10am checkout! Lack of access to footpaths; have to walk roads for a fair distance to reach any footpaths. Returning from south of the Winchester road involves a long detour or hairy hike along a stretch of fast, busy road with no footpath.

Liked: It was all fantastic! Very friendly staff right from when we arrived, through to the soft play/restaurant/barm, everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The facilities were really good and clean throughout. Loads to do. We enjoyed it so much we've already booked to come back in 3 weeks time. Such a brilliant first caravanning experience for us, our boys had the best time and made plenty of friends to kick a ball around with!

Liked: Always a great stay for us! Orignal pitches were a little bogged due to the recent weather, but the site had moved our pitch forward a little so it didn't affect our stay. The guys on the quads are always friendly. Toilets & showers great overall. Perfect location & vibe. Would return 👍
Disliked: Lack of hot water, & toilets didnt flush properly for a period of time. Cant be helped sometimes, so this isnt a complaint & wouldnt stop us returning..just to make others aware.

Liked: Friendliness of camp site staff from reception to ground to bar/restaurant staff . Facilities lovely very clean all day long
Disliked: Nothing but maybe think about putting gravel on drive way to pitches and through to toilet block as these areas became very waterlogged and cars spinning . Also hair driers in ladies . But this did not stop us from enjoying ourselves
Recommend to friends Visit again
Would not return as there was little care for dog rules.
