Dogs

We've been caravanning for over 35 years and have never had a problem with dogs. We woke up on our first morning and as I stepped out of our caravan someone had let their dog mess right in front of our step - it really was vile and had we not seen it, it would have been walked into our caravan. It had to have been done during the night or the early hours. We just wondered what kind of person would let their dog do this. The Wardens were very good and a guy came down on his bike and removed it for us. My wife was quite upset that someone would do that. We'd only just arrived and it wound her up that it would happen again. Fortunately it didn't, but we did notice at the back of us, one woman taking her dog (not on the dog walk) and it squatted down more than once right near to where a motorhome was on the grass. What is wrong with people? where are they brought up? there was dog mess there. They spoil it for everyone else and I think if someone is spotted doing that, they should be barred from the Club. There are children playing there and we know that dog mess can cause blindness in children.We hope this isn't a sign of things to come as it's the first time we've noticed anything ever like this. I was going to report her, as I know you can do this anonymously, but unfortunately didn't get round to it.  Most people are responsible, so maybe it's a new element who are joining.

Very good site, very poor service from rude warden.

Visited the site over the May bank holiday with our Motorhome, and overall was really pleased with it. We have two children and I thought the kid’s bathroom was brilliant, with two little ones the use of this room is a great benefit. The adult showers and toilets were very clean and there were plenty of them. The motorhome service point looked brand new and again is great for smaller and large units. As with most caravan club sites this site is in the middle of nowhere, but we had our car so this wasn’t a problem. The site also has a children’s play area so there are things to do if you get stuck there if you have kids. This site was one of the best CC sites we had been too, however it was totally let down by the rudest warden I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. On arrival she barely lifted her head to check us in, no hello or welcome provided and felt it necessary to ‘remind’ me of the site speed limit, before I had even entered the site... I felt disappointed with the way I was welcomed and therefore provided constructive feedback to her directly, and to say I wasn’t able to get a word in would be an understatement, I asked her to let me speak, and was just talked over, and upon leaving the reception area she told me next time I visit the site I should think about not being rude. We found the other wardens very helpful and welcoming, it’s a shame she let the site and the others down. We have never left a review before but felt disappointed in the way she treated us and therefore decided to comment, we have also done this on other review sites. So all in all the site is great, however totally letdown by ‘customer’ service.

We stopped over at this site for a couple of nights before boarding the ferry at Portsmouth to go over to the IOW. Peacefully located in the middle of woodland but easy to access from all main routes. Great dog walk (why don't users pick up....grrrrr?) and plenty of walking from the site itself. Friendly wardens and great facilities. Will definitely use again. Highly recommended.

Great site

Agree with other comments already posted. great site, very clean and handy location for many attractions locally. Information on site very good as well with helpful wardens. I also had not spotted that arrival time at the site had changed and found this slightly annoying. I think the access is really good and cannot understand why the 1 hour buffer is required. As I travel to locations regularly I tend not to check for changes and assume previous rules apply, will have to be more careful, but I have to say outside of obvious busy times in the summer............

Peaceful site

We had a lovely few days on this site. The wardens were very helpful with local information and they kept the facilities spotless. The area is great for walking and cycling with many trails around the site. Portsmouth is a short drive away with a great park and ride to the many amenities in he town. We will revisit this site for longer in the future.

Great Site!

A brilliant site with a fabulous playground for children: lots to do in the area, but a car is needed to visit many of the attractions.Facilities are very clean and there are plenty of service points around the site.

Fabulous site, peace and quiet and very spacious. Perfect location for all areas around site. Slight issue with Warden on arrival, arrived @ 12:50pm and was greeted with a stern reminder that I should not be booking in before 1pm!! Not a cheery hello, how are you, did you have a good journey!! Slapped wrists all round. Also why do they insist on emptying bottle bins @ 8.30am? Just a couple of small issues but worth noting.

Very peaceful site. Based the the woods away from everything. No nearby facilities although the site office sells essentials that you may run out of. Very clean and tidy everywhere. Wardens very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to use their phone to get the AA as we got a puncture. Be warned very little phone signal here (EE). Great base for the south coast Portsmouth, Southampton etc. We went to Hayling Island. There is a stoney beach but lots to do Beachlands park. Main thing is lots of room to park a motorhome and right on the beach for a small charge. Lovely to watch all the activity on the water. Had a great stay.
