A beautiful site in beautiful surroundings. Don't be put off by reviews of shower block. The site is ideal for cycling walking and exploring. If you haven't been go!  You will not be disappointed. Pubs/cafes in Brockenhurst are dog friendly with good beer and food. Lyndhurst is very nice but a traffic bottle neck - avoid peak times (ie Monday to Sunday 900 till 1900!!!). This was our first but certainly not last visit to the area and the site!  Take advantage of cheap ferry crossing to Isle of Wight. Pub in Bank worth s visit too.
