Little hidden gem

Green Pastures
After searching for a quiet small site for us to visit the New Forest country show and surrounding area. I contacted Sue and asked if we could bring our 3 well behaved Labradors. This was not a problem and after Sue directed us to Green Pastures she was there to meet us and show us around. We had a choice of pitches. We picked pitch 5 which got the afternoon sun on. We was allowed to walk the dogs on site as well as just a short drive or walk onto the forest. The site is tranquil and peaceful. There is a noise from the road but the tree boundary buffers this. The shower and Toilet are kept clean regularly and the site is kept immaculate. Access road with no problems is just of the main road. We meet some lovely people whilst there and were returning caravaners. Overall a lovely site, thank you Sue and definetly will return next time we are in the area.

Appearances can be deceiving

Green Pastures
After traversing a very bumpy and rutted track* to access the CL, we found just one other unit - late July, on what was a very well kept site. Alarms bells should have started ringing at this point. The site is well kept - with HUGE pitches; the owner, who was very pleasant and welcoming, said we could pitch anywhere in the spacious grounds that our hook up cable allowed. We choose a hard-standing pitch, given the weather wasnt great. While water wasn't far away, the CDP was a hell of a trek as it turned out. The furthest ive ever known if im honest. This 'niggle' aside, as a camp site, it (The single loo/shower was also here, but of no importance as we use our own facilities). The 'alarm bells' - while mentioned in other reviews - was the noise. While the site is on a 'country lane', this lane is the main link between the towns and villages of the New Forest, and nearby Lymington on the coast. Hence the traffic is constant. Throw in that there is some kind of skip-hire place bang over the road resulting in wagons entering and leaving - clanking as they go, maybe 20 times a day, and you realise why this otherwise excellent CL in a popular location, has barely any customers in July. This road noise starts around 6.30 am weekdays. Some say the noise doesnt bother them. If you are deaf, or out all day, as the people from the adjacent unit were, its probably not an issue. To compound this noise the owners have no control over; given the very neat expansive hedges do not cut themselves (that appear to be done almost fortnightly, such is their precision - grass as well), the owner chose/had to? started trimming them on the first sunny day after our arrival. So we had the hedgecutter to contend with on the noise front as well! It really is a shame, as visually and for space, you cannot top this site. But if peace and quiet is your thing, you should look elsewhere, or buy ear-plugs prior to arriving at this CL. * just why the access track is akin to a stoney river bed is beyond me, given the pristine grounds it leads to?! It has to belong to the site, as past the site the track is maintained. If you do brave the noise, dont eat at the New Wheel Pub just down the road! Some of the food is poor. So its a lottery as to what you may get!

EXCELLENT SITE

Green Pastures
The site was easy to find but follow the owners instructions, not SATNAV or you will be on some very narrow road!!! Reception was very welcoming and the field is flat and well mowed and the tall hedges trimmed to perfection. Plenty of room for each visitor. Nice and quiet with very little road noise. WILL DEFINITELY VISIT AGAIN. Great for the Lymington Saturday Street Market.

A site to visit

Green Pastures
On arrival we were welcomed by the owner who was happy to give me a tour.The site was absolutely lovely, well cut grass, and hedges ,very clean. The local area is breathtaking and so many places to visit and see. I’m so glad the review about ,a particular dog running around didn’t stop me visiting. Definitely a return for us. A credit to the owners

A Quite Fantastic Hidden Gem

Green Pastures
Just had yet another fantastic week at this quite wonderful site at Green Pastures. Always a warm welcome by Sue or Oliver. In essence a quintessential example of a perfect CL site. More like staying in someone’s cherished, well kept garden rather than a CL Site. Towns/villages/moorlands in easy reach. Dogs are made very welcome and in the twelve years of going to Green Pastures have never seen a badly behaved dog on site. Due to age related issues am sad to say that this was our last visit to this lovely hidden gem. Thanks again Sue and Oliver. Dave & Heather Hutchinson
