Excellent
Meadow Cottage
Just returned from a really good break at this quiet, calm and peaceful CL and can confirm all the great comments made by other reviewers.
The site is well maintained and secure, with the coded electric gate. Some pitches are a little sloping and need levelling blocks, but they are well spaced and have the benefit of power, water and grey water drain at each location.
Louise greeted us when we arrived and provided us with a pack full of information about the site and surrounding area. She is very helpful and does 'go the extra mile'.
This location is great for getting to all parts of Dorset and also into Somerset and Wiltshire, so there is lots to see and do or just enjoy the site itself.

Hidden gem
Meadow Cottage
This is our first of two visits this year to Meadow Cottage CL.
It is delightful.
Louise, the owner, is warm, friendly and helpful.
This rural site is totally peaceful ( no road noise - just birdsong) - and ( because the site’s insurers insist) no children. There is an attractive deep lake which would be an insurance risk for little ones….
The location close to Horton ( not far from Wimborne) is perfect for us.
The Remedy Oak Brewery is a short walk away and opens to visitors on Fridays in the summer.
The site is very pretty, the pitches are nicely spaced and private, and are fully serviced - electricity hook up, individual tap and proper soak away grey water drainage .
Our TV reception has been good.
Wifi is provided and even though we are almost the furthest pitch from the transmitter, we got a signal. Those closer to it get a good signal. A caravan neighbour here happened to have a small de ice that strengthens and extends wifi signals and on his recommendation we bought one. It is superb. If anyone is interested it is a TP Link AC750 travel router with a USB connector so you can portably use it as well - it cost about £34 from Amazon.
Thank you Louise for a super stay.
We hope to return not just this autumn but next year as well.

Peaceful
Meadow Cottage
Upon arrival we were greeted by our host Louise, who made us feel very welcome and even offered us a cup of tea. Nothing is too much trouble, she even lent us a map of local walks for our dogs. We were also given a welcome pack that had details of local takeaways and shops etc.
The site is clean and tidy, each pitch is fully serviced although there is a slight slope to some of the pitches. The free Wi-Fi is great and Louise swapped us onto pitch 1 to get best reception as we needed it for work.
We cannot recommend her enough, she deserves your custom and we will definitely return next year

Great adult only CL site
Meadow Cottage
This is a great site in a lovely location. Easy to find, good access & the best of welcomes. Fully serviced, grassed pitches & you can position your van any way you like within your pitch boundary. Enjoyed sitting on the picnic benches by the pond of an evening watching the sun set. Highly recommend a visit to the nearby brewery too.
