I have stayed at this site a number of times over the last seven years. The site is well situated for visits to Christchurch, Highcliff and the New Forest. The local beach is within walking distance and there is a pub a short walk away. There is also a row of local shops a short walk away which includes a newsagents (ideal for the morning papers). Each pitch has an electric hook-up, fresh water is available in front of the cottage and the toilet emptying point is in the adjacent paddock (the emptying point has been upgraded recently to a purpose built item with easily removable lid). The site has suffered from its popularity in recent years. The wet weather and the increased use use of awnings has on occasion led to poor grass on the pitch. On my recent stay in April 2014 the site had changed quite a bit, the access turning into the site had been widened, most of the tall trees surrounding the site had been cut down and the small copse adjacent to the pitches had been cleared. This gave the site a more lighter open appearance. There is a railway in a cutting not far from the site but it has never bothered myself or my wife (modern trains are very quiet), the dawn chorus from the birds is louder. I have found this can be a popular site so phoning ahead is a must.
