9/10 for Foxhill Farm
If you're looking for a site near the New Forest, but away from the crowded touristy spots, then this CL is just the place for you. Follow the website directions - take care through Fordingbridge and along the lanes to Alderholt and you arrive at a very wide and easy access with the CL itself signposted through the hedge beyond the owners bungalow. There are 6 hardstanding pitches, topped with pea gravel so comfortable enough to walk on and soft enough to make pegging out an awning a piece of cake. There's a tap and 10 amp EHU for each pitch along with grey water drainage. The toilet and shower facilities are exactly as described and a superb feature. There is wifi although you only get the signal by sitting on the bench outside the bungalow, but it's fine for checking emails and catching up on CT. Next to the site is huge playing field and recreation area where dogs are allowed to be exercised. The lane outside the site itself seems to attract the local speed merchants from time to time but it is nothing to really disturb the peace and quiet of the site. All in all a great place for a short (or long break).
So why only 9/10?
Well, it was a bit naughty to have 6 units on site on Friday and Saturday nights (although given the layout of the site and the facilities that's not a problem in itself), the prices are bumped up a couple of pounds in July and August and the charge for dogs is questionable given that no provision is made for them - not even a pooh bin!
But at the end of the day the acid test is would you return to the site and the answer to that is a resounding yes, we'll certainly be back.
