Lovely Break

Recently stayed at this site for a weekday break. Arrived on site at the 1pm designated time, a little disappointed to see many had arrived before us and some were casually leaving despite being well beyond the departure time. Very busy checking in but handled very efficiently by friendly and helpful wardens. Condition of site was very good, grass and hedges neatly trimmed and washing facilities very clean throughout our stay. Had coffee and cake in the excellent 'Coffee House' in Bransgore, lovely staff who work there, nothing was too much trouble for them and excellent value. Also visited Burley, pleasant to walk around but not such a good experience at the Old Farm House - prices a bit high for what we had. Visited Highcliffe Castle which was lovely, the weather was not too good so didn't walk down to the beach will do that at next visit. All in all a very pleasant stay at the New Forest site, we will have no hesitation in booking another stay in the future.

Disappointed

Having stayed here twice before, we were looking forward to our short stay en route to the Isle of Wight. No complaints about the overall quality of the site, however, we were very close to some pitches where the occupants had no regard for their neighbours and shouted and cheered all night, presumably watching England playing their quarter final in the Euros. Our main complaint, however, is about a female warden who was very rude to my wife on check-in and, again on another occasion, when my wife went to the office to ask a very simple and straightforward question. She is obviously not a "people" person and we find it hard to understand why a person with this sort of attitude should apply for a job of this nature. We have read other reviews and find that our sentiments are quite common. We will not be returning to this site.

Difficult Review

This was our third visit to this site, last was about 3/4 years ago. Love the site, beautiful location however, this time we were met by a very unhappy miserable lady who quiet clearly didn’t want to be there. After finding pitch and setting up, electrics didn’t work, female warden came to look at it and was extremely rude and put out by the need for her visit even though there was actually a problem with the electric feed. On returning to reception to confirm our pitch we were met by a lovely friendly different lady. We had amazing weather during our visit. The facilities were not as clean as would be expected or as they had been on previous visits, the grass had clearly not been cut for some time despite the good weather, We still love this site but just lost some of the premier Caravan Club Site feel.

Perfect Stay

We were only at this site for 2 nights but the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The site itself is clean; tidy and very pretty. The facilities were very well looked after and there were plenty of showers; toilets and wash cubicles available for everyone even allowing for covid restrictions. Whilst there we took advantage of the mobile fish and chip van which is there a couple of evenings a week and they were delicious, being cooked fresh while you wait :) On different evenings there is also a stone baked pizza van and a chilli van so all tastes are catered for. We would thoroughly recommend this site and hope to be back there soon.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good - the wardens and staff generally were very efficient, pleasant and helpful. Thanks. The site was in good condition and pitches are generously sized and mostly level. The Bad - whilst I’m in no way a “COVID-Denyer”, the Clubs precautions are overly cautious and mean too many facilities are closed off - showers, toilets etc. Location is in a nice spot but there are no shops, pubs or cafes in anything like walking distance. The Ugly - due to its location, there is very little, if any 4G mobile coverage, hence data connectivity. The site WiFi is rated Bronze (the lowest) and on our pitch, we could rarely even see the WiFi never mind login to it. On sites such as this with poor mobile coverage, the Club must do more to provide better WiFi on the site - this is the 21st century and the technology does exist. Overall, a nice site, a great 5 day stay and we might return. The Club needs to spend a little more of its considerable cash reserves to stay ahead of the competition, justify the pitch prices and remain the gold standard.

Excellent Location

This site is in an excellent location with easy access to both the forest and the coast. The facilities are of the usual high standard that you would expect from the club. We did experience some issues with both the WIFI and the TV reception during our stay, but this didn’t materially affect our stay. The cleaning of the shower and toilet blocks left something to be desired, but it looked like they were being cleaned by outside contractors. Pity about the attitude of some of the wardens, but we were there for the scenery, so we didn’t let this spoil our stay.

Restful and Fun short break

My sister and I were greeted warmly by the friendly and fun staff at reception when we arrived last Wednesday. We were delighted to be able to select our own pitch and amazed at how much space we were alloted. It was easy to manoeuvre in and we were under no obligation to unhitch immediately as we weren't in anyone's way. This was just as well because we had a problem with the jockey wheel that took a while to sort out. The other campers were incredibly friendly and helpful, and also good fun! We went for a lovely walk out on the old airfield, which is now gorgeous New Forest heathlands, and it started right there at the campsite, so no more need for driving on the first evening. It was very quiet there, which was lovely too. No complaints whatsoever! Showers and loos were good. Shop opened a bit late in the morning - had to wait for milk!

Lovely site, great location

We’ve just returned from our latest break, weather was superb. Good Covid safe facilities, usual excellent clean site. Lots to do in the area, excellent walking country. Can’t fault the site apart from the extremely poor wifi! This is the fourth site we have stayed on this year and haven’t had a good wifi connection on any site. In these Covid times any facility, restaurant outing has to be booked on line. If there isn’t a wifi signal on site, a mobile phone has to be used, after three weeks being away, continuous use of mobile data resulted in me having to buy additional data! Having purchased a years supply of ( non existent) Club wifi data we weren’t happy about this additional expense! In this day and age wifi should be available on all Club sites! This needs sorting with some urgency! Incidentally does anyone from the club ever read any of these reviews?

Recent stay at the New Forest

We have had a lovely time as usual at the site. The wardens were very helpful when we extended our booking and my daughter took over our caravan for the weekend There appear to be fewer wardens on site, and I think the wardens are very over worked. Their job would be made much easier if it wasn’t for inconsiderate members. One inconsiderate member had walked in dog poop and trailed it through the ladies facilities which the warden had to clear up. This really isn’t fair Accidents do happen but if your dog does a poop - clean it up, if you tread in a poop- clean it up
