Great site
The Far Side
Very nice CL . The site owner was lovely & came & greeted us on arrival. Field was flat & mown, with water & electric hook up on each pitch. not too far to empty waste either. Some traffic noise in day but didn't bother us,
quietens down at night. Great location, not far from Lyndhurst which is lovely.
We highly recommend & we will definitely return.

A good one this
The Far Side
A great CL site this one. All pitches have direct water access which is a HUGE bonus. Site easy to access and near all of the main attractions that the New Forest has to offer. The site owner is relaxed which always makes for a stress free holiday. Highly recommended

Mixed fortunes
The Far Side
This site is a flat well cared for field . It is ideally located for local attractions including ferries to IOW, beaches and the forest. However it is right on a very very busy road so road noise is an issue also one side of site is exposed to road so road users can see you quite clearly . My advice to owners would be to plant quick growing hedging on that open side to provide more seclusion . Owners very helpful and thoughtful ( left a note on our doorstep regarding status of a power cut during the day ) but I think
we would look for a quieter site on further visits .
Weekend break
The Far Side
Just got home after a lovely weekend break at the Far side.Walked to Brockenhurst village via the track at the start of your drive. Drove to Lymington and had coffee in the marina. High-cliff where the dogs played in the sea and Mudford were we could have used our paddle boards All lovely places to visit. Also had a cream tea at Rosie Lea House. Thank you Craig for putting up with us. We will be back👍
New CL for May Day Bank Holiday
The Far Side
We spent the May Day Bank Holiday at this new CL. The CL is on a main road but it didn't bother us the pitches are set back along the far-side of the field.
The field is flat with lovely views over open paddocks we had some amazing sunsets from our pitch while we were there despite the wind & rain!!
Each pitch as it's own water tap and EHU the pitches are large and spacious allowing you to put your unit in any-which way you like? we put ours in nose first to enjoy the views and sunsets and the caravan next to us went length-ways awning to the paddock.
The entrance to the site is nice and wide for large or long units and it is easy to find.
The owners Craig & Sarah are very welcoming and allow to walk down their drive to access either the New Forest or to visit the pub/restaurant opposite. (Rosie Lea House) it did look nice and very busy, unfortunately we didn't have time to visit.
There is a small CoOp just 2 mins down the road turning right towards Lymington, as I forgot to pack the wine!! There is also a Tesco Express and Fish & Chip shop back up in Brockenhurst and a large Waitrose in Lymington.
The CL is next to a very large field that does advertise that there are sometimes car boot sales but it didn't have any effective on our stay.
We have already booked to return in July and August Bank Holiday, as it is an ideal base to explore the New Forest.
