One serious failing

This is an excellent site and the 2016 staff are polite and helpful. But the site has one great failing . . . the toilet block, certainly for the men in the upper field. It is clean enough but inadequate - 2 showers and 3 toilets. I come here often, but it doesn't improve. One member I spoke to said that he was not coming again and that the toilet block was the reason. This is a popular and lovely site . . . please do something!

A Very Warm Welcome

We came for a one night family visit, Sunday 17th. The warden had phoned us on Saturday to say the site was very wet and there were no hardstandings for our motorhome.  They would not be able to help if we got stuck.  It would be OK if we decided to cancel.  We chose to risk it. On arrival at quarter to six, the office was still open so we were able to book in.  While we were doing this one of the wardens disappeared to find us a good dry pitch.  He came back with a couple of mats for the driving wheels. He took us to the pitch, helped us to get lined up and placed the mats so we could keep our front wheels on them. We had arrived a little late but the wardens could not have been more helpful and friendly. The site itself feels small and personal.  The facilities are spotless.  There is some traffic  noise, especially at rush hours but we did not find it intrusive, more of a lullaby. It is a two mile walk or bus ride along the old Roman road into Winchester. All in all Morn Hill is a super site with great wardens and does not cost a lot, less than £15 per night.

1st trip on a club site

Having only just joined the club we decided on a 10 night stay at Morn Hill. We eventually found the entrance to the site (use the club directions, not the post code on a sat nav, lesson learnt!) and had a very nice welcome and explanation of what to do. We then chose a pitch in the corner of the lower field which turned out to be very sheltered, which was a god send as Storm Katy hit the next night. We found that this was a very peaceful site, ideally suited for most of the South Coast. The facilities were kept very clean and the showers were fantastic, although it was quiet when we were there and there may be a bit of a wait when it's busier. Our 9 yr old daughter loved the site and wants to go back, even though there was no play area. There is a nice dog exercise area, although the rooks did try to dive bomb you first thing in the morning. All in all, a great start to our families adventures in the caravan club.

Season's Starter....

We start our season every year at Morn Hill, it's less than an hours drive from home and gives us the ideal opportunity to set up on site early, make sure everything is working ok and allows us some time to relax because the journey is so short. That having been said we also visit again at least one more time during the season because - We love Morm Hill, it's lovely and peaceful, yes in the summer the birds make a bit of noise - is'nt that what the countryside is all about? The wardens are friendly and helpful and always busy keeping the site in tip top condition. We do notice on here that some reviewers make complaints about the toilet/shower blocks - lighten up guys, we're camping! Yes they are a bit dated and I am sure the staff would love to see them modernised as would the visitors BUT they are always kept lovely and clean, everything works as it should - if you're worried about visiting because of some of these reviews - don't be, they're absolutely fine! We've had our first trip of the year and certainly looking forward to coming back.

Convenient Location

This was not our first visit to Morn Hill, but it is a nice site, with friendly and helpful wardens. As a site it is quiet, but unfortunately very close to the busy A31 and the traffic noise can be extreme. However the proximity of the road means it is well positioned to get to the M3 and A34 in about 5 minutes. For us the location is positive, as we have family living a couple of junctions South just 15 minutes away.

On the day of arrival the site was very wet, with some pitches and one whole area shut off, following a winter of heavy rain. We had rain while there so it was a little muddy at times, and impossible to keep the car clean! There is plenty of room on the pitches for a large caravan plus awning - although on this visit it was not awning weather! Entrance to the site is with an allocated proximity card, giving a good feeling of security. Facilities are excellent, although there appears to be intermittent issues with the water temperature. I reported this on one occasion and it was immediately investigated.

As mentioned by other reviewers the site is split by a private road, but once you have settled onto your pitch, this separation actually gives the site the feel of being smaller than it actually is which we like.

Hinton Ampere House & Gardens (National Trust) is worth a visit - less than a 20 minute drive away.  Unfortunately no pubs in easy walking distance, but we would recommend The Chestnut Horse in Easton a short drive away. Good food, beer, and friendly staff in a proper pub. They can recommend a "friendly" taxi company. 

Morn Hill is a site we will use again given the proximity to Winchester and family near Southampton.

A great 3 night stay

Great location for Winchester for walkers or if you want to catch the bus, nice walks nearby. The site is neat and tidy as is the norm for the caravan club. The staff are brilliant, helpful and always willing to give advice, a credit to the club thank you. The toilets and showers are lovely and clean, with loads of hot water. The site is well set out and everything is near or thereabouts. Great stay, will use again.

Handy

This site is great for visiting Winchester 5 minute walk to bus stop. Found showers small but clean. Staff very helpful, grass pitches could be a problem in the wet for motorhomes. Can be a little noisy at night with traffic but all in all not a bad stay.
