Room For Improvement

This site is near the village of Sway on the edge of the New Forest and not far from the coast, Bournemouth and Lymington. There are some shops and pubs nearby, but these are best accessed by car. It is a good size site, plenty big enough to accommodate 5 outfits and was generally well kept. There was a pile of rubble sacks in the corner of the field and a collection of glass bottles awaiting recycling lying on the ground, but, they weren’t really noticeable until you walked passed them on the way to the toilet. The next door field doubles as a children’s play area and separate, roped off, dog exercise area. The toilet, wash basin - with hot and cold water - and shower (20p for 5 mins) are all contained within one room. Of course this means that if the shower is in use you could have a long wait for the toilet. It is not helped by the fact that these facilities are shared with another campsite on the same property. This room was in quite a tired and rundown state. It was also quite dirty and, while we were there, it was not cleaned for the first 4 days of our stay. The owner of the site was quite friendly and certainly very helpful when we had a problem with the caravan. This is a site that I really wanted to like, but ultimately ended up feeling a little disappointed with. I couldn’t see why the sacks had to be there, nor why the bottles could not have been kept in a container. Also, the wash room needs improvement, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect it to be cleaned every day. It’s a shame these things let it down, but with a bit of effort this could become a very nice site to visit.
