After many years of caravanning we visited Oak Cottage for the first time. We hope it won’t be long before we are able to return because we had such an enjoyable time. To have the coastal area between Lymington and Bournemouth so easily accessible was a joy as well as being in the New Forest itself. Speaking to other caravanners on site it seems that many of them choose to stay for extended periods: not surprising really. There was no difficulty in approaching the site from the road and although the railway is nearby it is in a cutting so that when a train goes by it’s hardly noticeable. There are bus stops close to the site entrance and the local pub is well worth the short walk.
