We have visited the site twice previously, once as a ferry stop and secondly as a two week holiday when our children weren't adults! We chose it for the attractions we could visit easily. Whilst it's close to the M27 it's very peaceful. As ever the wifi is variable so stock up on mobile phone data. The dog walking area is one of the best we have seen. Children's play area looks good but we are too old!! Not the place for a seaside holiday but if you want to use your National Trust membership, visit museums and historic places this is the site for you.
