Ticked all the boxes

I endorse the many positive comments made by previous reviewers which I’ll try not to repeat. We stayed for 7 nights and didn’t drive off-site. There is a large Morrisons supermarket outside Sandown that can be reached via the airstrip on foot in about 30 mins and more quickly by bike. The nearest bus stop with a regular No 8 service between Newport, Sandown, Bembridge, St Helens, Seaview and Ryde is a 20 min walk along Alverstone Road to Winford. The local area is rich with clearly marked footpaths and bridleways. There are pleasant walks from the site to Sandown, Culver Down, Shanklin and inland to Pedallers café, the Garlic Farm, the Donkey Sanctuary and The Pointers Inn in Newchurch (which we didn’t try) as well as local woods and nature reserves. Cycleway 23 which links to cycleway 22 and other routes is just down the road. West Cowes can be reached by bike in about 1 hr 25 mins. The single sex toilets and hand basins include an extractor fan, hot water, hand soap and clean hand towel. We were not aware of them being shared. There are also laundry facilities. The pitch cost for two was £20 per night which included free wi-fi and £4 worth of metered electricity. We found the electricity was more than enough even though we ran everything on mains in mid-April when it was quite cool. Terrestrial TV reception with our omni-directional aerial was good. Each pitch appeared to have a satellite dish & coax (which we didn’t use). Sections of pipe were provided to direct the grey water into a drain on each pitch. The discounted return ferry for our motorhome was £165. This site ticks all our boxes.
