15 days on Isle of Wight

Spent 2 weeks on the site with excellent weather - a lovely site, peaceful and extremely well maintained. Pitches very well spaced out ans the grass pitches were dry and very good, being designed that they were not large open areas. My only query is why there were showers & toilets closed - I appreciate that the site was not full, but there were a number of mornings when ladies and gentlemen had to queue for showers when 3 were permanently locked - it was not as though they were short staffed!

A hidden gem!!

We have just returned from 10 nights at this fantastic site. It is immaculately kept by very hard working staff who go about it so cheerfully considering the amount of hedges and grass to cut. The facilities are spotless. We both feel this is the best kept site on the network and will definitely return. Also what a beautiful island to visit - it is like being abroad without leaving the UK. Well done to all the staff you are a credit to the club. Terry & Moyra Bodley

Good site

A very well run and maintained site looked after by 6 very good and pleasant wardens. Site in a good position quite central and good for seeing all parts of the island. Will be back in the future.

lovely site, but................

Lovely site, well situated for visiting the whole island. Some road noise but not too intrusive. However, two of the female wardens were unhelpful on our arrival, wondering if we could return to reception 'before 5 o'clock' with a pitch number, but not offering any help with details of pitches available, other than 'a white marker' and 'there are plenty there' when pointing to the site map. I must stress that staff walking round the site, and those on refuse duty were very pleasant. I would not wish to criticise all staff.

Southlands worth the trip

Recently returned from a week at Southlands which we really enjoyed. Easy to get to from East Cowes with good roads to all parts of the island. This is one of the best sites on the network and we have visited a fair few in 30 years' membership.

Fantastic Holiday

We have just returned from a really great break on the IOW. The Caravan Club made the booking easy and the ferry crossing from Southampton to Cowes was fine. The site is set in the lovely Arreton Valley - it is well kept and spotlessly clean, The Wardens are friendly and helpful. The shower blocks are really clean and there is plenty of hot water. The island has a lot to offer and if you like walking there are some amazing walks and great views. We will be back again and would recommend this site.

Ab fab

Without question the best CC site we have ever stayed on. Lovely, friendly wardens, immaculately kept with excellent facilities. Very cleverly, the children's play area (which is great, would have loved a go on some of the equipment) is away from the main part of the site - happy children, happy non-children people. We found the location very good for visiting the island. The fields are broken up by huge hedges which make smaller 'rooms'. This breaks up the wind and also makes a big site quite intimate. There is a lot of hedge cutting/grass mowing and it can be a bit noisy - but the site is just immaculate so I think you just need to tolerate this. The wardens are very good at swiftly dealing with, shall we say, anti social behaviour (dealt with quickly = end of problem). If only we could have dealt with the horrible barking dog behind us so easily (some dog owners are astoundingly stupid - but enough of that now). We tackled the slightly perilous walk to the pub (nice beer, very boaty). Then we sussed it. Go to the far right hand end of the hard standing area, there is a gate, walk down the side of a bungalow, turn right onto the road and voila - pavement the rest of the way to the pub plus a shorter walk. We had a fantastic stay, despite the weather and would certainly return. Well done those wardens for such a beautiful site.

Great site

This was our second stay at this site and again were were over the moon with our stay. Wardens are very friendly and helpful. The site was spotlessly clean and tidy. Very peaceful and relaxing stay. The site is a little remote and you do take a risk if you walk to the local pub, but this is a minor detail.
