Gladed retreat
Stayed for seven nights at the beginning of June and had a lovely relaxing time amongst the beautifully landscaped and gladed areas on the site. The trains do have a proclivity to sound their horns but it's historically a safety feature as the crossing near the site is single barrier only, and yes, some people are that stupid to try and cross when the barriers are down, but it's not that onerous that it detracts from the fantastic setting you are in.
Facilities were kept spick and span, staff were friendly and helpful and I did see a deer on site but sadly for me in one of the other locations as I was actually leaving the site to move on. Having said that, there are plenty of cheeky chappies to keep you amused in the shape of squirrels who finished my entire bag of peanuts for wild birds, and the crows who appear to happily give you a symphony of ca-caws upon tasting the buttered croissants from the bird table (what do you mean you don't buy croissants for the birds?!) as well as the usual array of robins, finches, blackbirds and sparrows to serenade your days if you stay on site.
As one reviewer has already said the train station is ideally placed for trips to Weymouth and Dorchester (both worth a day out) and all in all the stay was very pleasant. Have already booked another three nights stay for later in the month as I criss-cross the southern coastline.
