A Pleasure To Return

After a gap of 9 years it was a pleasure to return for 6 days see how the site planting had matured over the years. This was a well planned project from the outset and a model for the rest of the network. Any site is only as good as the staff and here they excelled. Working tirelessly morning, noon and into the late evening to keep all facilities in prinstene condition. Thankyou and well done.

Well placed site

The site was full to bursting whilst we were there this was our eighth visit, the wardens are friendly helpful and welcoming. Cannot fault the site at all but like a previous reviewer some of the people who visit the amenities leave them in a disgusting condition after use and I feel really sorry for the wardens who have to clean up after them. The site is well situated to visit the beauty spots that surround the area and is well worth a visit you won't regret it

Best of the best

We have visited many sites and ended up here as a late notice booking. What a wonderful and beautiful site. The facilities were excellent, clean and well maintained. The dog walking area is the best we have found and the agility area was a real joy to find. Location is perfect for the forest and visiting all the local scenic spots and just a short drive to the various beaches. Honestly can't wait to go back!

Very very good

We normally use Black Knowl in the new forest. This was fully booked for our dates. Took a chance on the Centenary and was so pleased we did. Probably the friendliest bunch of staff we have ever encountered on a club site. One of the cleanest sites we have been to as well. Nothing seemed too much trouble for any of them. I've seen a couple of reviews complaining about 1) directions 2) site being full. 3) noise from A35 1) follow the directions displayed on the site direction part on web page. If you have a problem with these you need to consider whether you should be driving 2) Ask and you will be told. The top part is only open after end June because of restrictions in the agreement with landholders? 3) suggest to escape any noise the outer Hebrides is nice this time of year. It seems if someone can complain they will. Now for my complaint, it's not about the staff/club/site etc, it's actually about us members. Gentlemen, it would really be nice if you could clean the sinks after you use them. Finding bristles after someone else has had a shave is pretty much disgusting in my book. Yes it's your responsibility to clean up after yourself. Cubicles are provided for washing and shaving, surely common sense must prevail and tell you that public sinks are for hand washing after using the toilets not for a complete wash, shave and brush up. Anyone using the washing up area, agains, cleaning around after your own use is not beyond your capabilities. It's all too common to complain about the club and staff, but sometimes people need to look,at themselves and their behaviour. All on all, one of the best sites I have had the pleasure in visiting and will be again very soon

Busy but very enjoyable

Not surprisingly given that it was May half-term it was very busy and the wardens were certainly kept on their toes but there was always a smile to be had and I'd like to say a big thank you to them all but particularly Steve and Deborah I think it was (sorry if I've got it wrong!) for all their hard work and knowledge of the area. The facilities were kept clean and tidy - not an easy task I would imagine - and the site looked very well maintained. Thank you, looking forward to a return visit.

Why

When we arrived we were told it was so busy they only had 4 pitches left so we duly rocked up on a grass pitch near the road only to find next day that there were probably 100 unused pitches at the top of the site , please explain

Too big for us

We have just left this site today, we got lost on the way in & had to ring the site for directions, we have a 26ft motorhome with a tow car & getting totally lost around the small village roads became very stressful very quickly. The warden was very helpful & guided us in very calmly, she was very friendly & jovial when we finally got to the site.(although her colleague was a bit too quick to point out the instructions for the route in for my liking). The site is very large, much larger than we were expecting & full to overflowing, it is far too large for our liking so we did not really enjoy our stay, we expected the WIFI on such a large busy site to be at least useable but it wasn't ! I'm sure that a lot of people love this site, however, I am not one of them & would not return.

Lovely setting

This is a beautiful site with friendly staff , but we were unlucky the site was busy we had to have a grass pitch next to the road which was very noisy. Only stayed 3 nights but enjoyed our stay. Plenty of dog walking the site has a nice one . A lovely 50 minutes walk to the village nice pub good food friendly locals . 7 minutes away is the Sammy Miller motor cycle museum well worth a visit. Would recommend site but keep away from pitches near the road .

Peace and quiet spoilt by gardening machinery

Thoroughly enjoyed our 10 nights on the site. Minor irritations were - 1. many of the toilet / shower cubicles were closed for the majority of our stay, even though the site was very busy, needed to get in early in the morning if you don’t want to queue for shower. 2. One day was completely ruined by landscaping/ gardening machinery 10.30 - 2.30 non stop, petrol swimmers on hedges, followed by grass cutting, just in our area. Would be nice if they restricted it to an hour per area of the site. Very friendly staff, very clean site. Shop OK for emergencies unless you have a dietary requirement, no dairy free milk. High turnover of caravans and motor homes.. excellent for dog owners. Will probably be back.
