Peace & Tranquility
APRIL 2022
This is a Caravan Club certified adults only site in the heart of Hampshire and just 13 minutes from the charming Village of Romsey with its pubs, restaurants, cafe’s and an Aldi or Waitrose Supermarket, something for everyone’s pocket.
The team at Whinwhistle are all lovely. Mandy & Ant were incredible hosts, always available and helpful. There was constant enthusiasm from their team too, the friendliness and fishing tips from John & Oakley and Andy’s culinary skills made our stay all the more enjoyable. We stayed on the VIP lake so had complete privacy but it was still just a short one minute walk to the Cafe and facilities.
On arrival we were given a full explanation of where everything was, help in choosing our spot and made to feel very welcome before they left us. We were able to drive our car over to our pitch to unload everything and set up our Motorhome and then park it in the car park just the other side of the lake. The pitch we chose was on grass so I would recommend you have what you need to level up but it was very secluded and private with only the noise of the countryside to listen too.
However, there are 5 other lakeside certified hard standing pitches where you can park your vehicle next to your Motorhome if you wanted to.
We had beautiful views across the lake with countryside walks right next to it. There and 4 we’ll stocked fishing lakes (one specimen) that fish very well, and you can have your own swim, right outside your pitch for just £10 per day if you want.
The toilets and shower although basic are always clean and being due for modernisation soon will be even better in the near future.
The fishing shop has all you need including bait and if you’re not sure, just ask, nothing is too much trouble for the team. The fishing tips I was given were invaluable which upped my catch rate to new levels, including a new PB 8lb mirror carp, new skills I will have forever so a big thank you to John & Oakley for checking on how things were going throughout the day and giving me their time to help me improve and quite refreshingly, stop me spending money in the shop on stuff I wasn’t going to need! My fellow anglers were also very friendly and without my newest best friend Eddie, who gave me his time (and his bait) there may never have been that new PB for me! :-) Thanks Eddie!
The cafe was open all day and from the full English breakfast to the home made cake and coffee, or just some cheesy chips, everything we had was excellent and freshly made.
In summary, you will have a lovely relaxing time and my guess is you will want to return, we have already booked again! A BIG ‘THANK YOU’ to all the team and we will see you in again soon! :-)
