Firstly:- I have only given a five star for peace and quiet but you can hear traffic noise from the very busy A35 if the wind is in the right direction - but it's not like being on the M5 or anything but generally this is a quiet site. On site there are places where it is quieter than others - the areas closer to the play park for example as you would expect are noiser than say Mustang. Facilities are great - despite it being a bank holiday weekend there was no problem using the loo or shower. There are two blocks and I only used the one at Mustang end so can't comment on the other. I did notice the plug holes in the shower were a bit hairy but on the last day they had been cleaned. Good dishwashing and laundry area. The site itself is large and spacious, it was totally full but we never felt over crowded or hemmed in. There is a barrier system to go in and out of the site, with a very well stocked shop (cash only for shop purchases which also includes bits of caravan spares, electric cables, waste pipes etc). There is a good selection of food and at weekends you can get baguettes freshly cooked, croissants etc. There are two dog walks, a small one running along the drive way entrance and a field close to the play area. There is a great children's park and a football pitch as well as the centenary garden. The site is great for cycling but we did not find the New Forest Cycle Route map that you can buy in reception for £4 particularly helpful if you strayed off their route. There were places marked that were roads (looked the same on the map as roads so you would think it was a road) and it clearly wasn't when we got to it, causing us to have to ride up the very dangerous A35 (DO NOT do this - it is VERY dangerous). The route down to Christchurch is down a very long hill, bear this in mind on the way back it's a long up hill. The Cat and Fiddle junction - take you life in your hands to cross it ! There are some quieter cycle routes and of course in the forest is restricted weight wise and speed wise so much better. The trailway from Burley to Brockenhurst is good with Homsley Tea Room for a break mid way - Brockenhurst disappointing, hardly anything there and to be honest not worth the last 2 miles on the road to get to it. Burley is sweet and within 2.5 miles of the site to ride to, touristy shops, icecream, coffees etc. Christchurch and Highcliffe castle nice to visit, and Mudeford - did this all by bike, but not safe enough to ride with kiddies - roads are very busy a lot of the time - some of it in quiet lanes though. This was our first trip to this site and we will certainly be back. We really enjoyed it, the wardens work incredibly hard - it's a big site to look after. Plenty of walking locally, plenty to see, lovely location and all in all well recommended.
