Autumn Visit
We had a peaceful Autumnal visit to Southland Caravan Club Site. An A-class site with roomy pitches and well kept grounds. The staff were all very friendly and soon had us settled down on our pitch. The toilet block was spotless with plenty of showers and toilets and two hairdryers. Opposite a spacious dish washing room and next door a laundry. The roads around the island were quite accessible even with the motor home but it was nice to come back to the site at the end of a busy day knowing that it was going to be quiet and restful. We didn't get a chance to use the pub down the road but we did find a lovely large nursery a few minutes walk the other way. It was well stocked with plants and gifts and had a very nice restaurant. I was a bit disappointed with a couple of dog owners who think it is OK to walk their dogs around the living areas on long extended leads rather than take their pets down to the dog walk, but after a summer of touring that seems to be the norm. A fish and chip van was advertised on site, and on Saturday evening we decided a fish and chip supper would round the week's visit off very nicely. We arrived at the van only to find it was the last night of the season and there were only chips left, being hungry we settled for just the chips and wished we hadn't as they were tasteless! However I would recommend this site and would like to return as the Isle of Wight has such charm.
