This was our first visit to the site, after usually staying at the larger sites we thought we would try a CL and were so glad that we did. We were welcomed by Stephanie and immediately felt at home. The site is well kept and very quiet, the local wildlife the only sounds. Pure bliss of an escape!
The local village of Brighstone is a 20 minute walk across fields, here we found an excellent village shop with everything we could need, a newsagent, two cafes and a pub serving great food.
The lakes are peaceful and a place to stroll and watch the sunrise/sunset, you cannot help but feel relaxed.
Both Stephanie and Julian couldn't have done any more to make us feel welcome. On one day we were walking up to the bus stop to go to the County Show when Julian and Stephanie drove by and offered to drive us to Newport and made the day a lot more pleasurable. Definitely above and beyond.
This is a site we will definitely be booking again and cannot wait to return. Highly highly recommended for a quiet, friendly, relaxed stay in a beautiful part of the island.
A fantastic site
I agree with all the other reviews. Julian and Stephanie couldn't have been more friendly. The site is very quiet and peaceful with great views of the two fishing lakes. There are a lot of birds to see on the lakes as well. I would recommend driving to see the attractions, they are in cycling distance but is on a very busy road with a few hills. The bus stop is close by too with good connections around the island. I hope to return soon

Above expectations
This is a CL site which exceeded our expectations lovely welcome when we arrived by Julian and Stephanie who gave us coffee and biscuits before we set up and showed us where everything was located. A toilet is on site which is always very clean. We were invited to sit on the bank by the lake which we did several times watching the swans and other birds visiting the lake so peaceful especially with the lovely weather we had. We could also see lots of fish in the lake a great place to fish or sit and just relax. Plenty of space between the pitches which are keep well mowed. Stephanie and Julian arranged our ferry crossing offering a good discount from the normal price. We could not of wished for better hosts so welcoming. A must visit site with lots to see within an easy reach of the Cl. Cycling from the site is very easy in fact we cycled the first four days when we arrived.
BEST CL SITE.
This is the best Cl Site !! The owners Julian & Stephanie could not have done anymore, arrived to a great welcome, shown to my pitch, shown around the wonderful site and the great facilities, I stayed for 4 nights, really peaceful site, on the 2 nd night was invited to a barbecue with the other guests on site perfectly hosted by Julian & Stephanie, the following day I broke down with my motorcycle on the island, called Stephanie for a taxi number but insisted she came out to pick me up! This is service up and beyond.
Anyone traveling to the IOW must visit this wonderful site and lovely owners.

A beautiful spot!
What a wonderful setting! Surrounded by countryside and wildlife - swans,geese (and their goslings), ducks and so many different types of birdsong (including screeching owls!). There is electric and water on each pitch and good recycling options. Julian and Stephanie were so welcoming and friendly with lots of helpful information on the area. We were there over Coronation weekend and they let us know what was happening around the island. Stephanie even brought us out special coronation cupcakes on the day! The bus service on the island is very good. (Bus stop is half a mile up a lovely, quiet country lane.) We never came across a grumpy driver, in fact quite the opposite as they were all friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this beautiful CL. Thank you 😊
Everything you want from a CL and more
Well what can i say? From the first contact the communication was first class, we booked and Justin arranged the ferry for us and then we changed or motorhome and one email and Justin had changed our details with Red Funnel ferries. On arrival the CL is so lovely and well kept and the wildlife is amazing, with swans and so many different birds and wildlife around the fishing lakes. The WiFi is very good, we were on the furthest away pitch and we had excellent reception.
Sue and Justin are so welcoming and such a pleasure to meet.
Meadow Lakes is a must visit CL and if your a fisherman or lady it's a definite
Thanks again

Immaculate, Informal and peaceful
This is a delightful CL site where we spent 4 very enjoyable nights in our motorhome. There are 5 large pitches available, all of them on grass with hook up and water at the corner of the pitch. We were welcomed and shown the site. There is a new building with a very clean toilet and wash basin, a small shop and a covered area with tables where you can eat. It is protected from the wind by a hedge. There is also a fishing lake. The lack of light pollution means that you get a wonderful view of the night sky.
It is located a 10-minute walk from the road where there is a regular bus service connecting Newport and Freshwater and the Needles. The bus services on the island is excellent with connections to all areas of the island. We used the buses every day and found them convenient and reliable.
So an excellent site in an attractive part of the Isle of Wight. I hope to return.

Wonderful quiet spot
Stayed at the site for 3 nights in September 2022, peaceful and quiet with views of the fishing lakes and water fowl. Several level walks taken in the area, one to the coastal footpath and back with a stop off in the Crown Inn at Shorwell. Not to miss the local village shop in Brightstone for fresh food and sandwiches whilst out.
One of the best
In a delightful rural setting not far from the coast, this site is attractively laid out and immaculately kept, next to the fishing lakes. Julian and Stephanie gave a warm welcome and were very helpful in arranging discounted ferry tickets and a last minute change of crossing. Views, plenty of walking and wildlife, and a nearby village shop well-stocked with local produce as well as staples. One of the best cl’s we have stayed on in 40 years with the Club. A completely relaxing two weeks.
Fabulous CL
We have just returned from a 9 night stay at this lovely cl which is well kept and set in beautiful countryside with distance coast views. The owners, Julian and Stephanie were always helpful and friendly, and we were warmly greeted on arrival. The pitches are well spaced out and the site is quiet and peaceful with lots of wildlife around the fishing lakes and beautiful views over fields to the downs. We watched hares, rabbits, swans and pheasants from our pitch as well as listening to birdsong. There are lots of lovely walks and cycles straight from the site and the pretty villages of Brighstone and Shorwell are a short distance away, as well as the coast. We would definitely recommend a stay at this CL, and hope to return soon.
