Ease of arrival/welcome

Spent a week here in mid-August. Wish we hadn't.

I wouldn't bother even trying to get to Hayling Island. It takes absolutely forever to get to it because of the horrendous traffic on and around the A27. It took about 2 hours to get around the Chichester bypass on arrival day (a Monday) and well over an hour on a couple of other days just getting out of Havant 2.5 miles away when we went to the supermarket and Stansted House & Park. Access to the site is difficult because it is a sharp right turn on a left-hand bend across an almost continuous stream of traffic and then up and over a steep kerb. The owner needs to get the council to drop the kerb as that would make it slightly easier. As another reviewer has suggested you could continue into the town, go round the roundabout and then come back on yourself. Make sure you don't leave the gate open for more than a few seconds once you've driven through it or the owner will castigate you for putting her horses at risk of getting onto the main road. Difficult to see how they could since they're all in secure paddocks. The site itself is a level field surrounded by said horse paddocks. The 16A hookups are in the middle of the field so vehicles run over your cable. The tap at the chemiloo needs fixing as it leaks down the hose and all over your trousers & shoes and the loo itself is very basic. It's very noisy from the constant traffic with fairly frequent emergency vehicles attending the largely-aged population. Occasionally there are loudly-shouting horsey people instructing on the manège and in the paddocks. The site is infested with rabbits that poo all over the place. There's nothing much to do on the island. There's access to an old railway line for walking/cycling and quite a lot of not very good beach. Because of the traffic issues, visiting anywhere else is very frustrating. At £17pn it's overpriced and I wouldn't recommend.
