Good for families

Beautiful Site with Lots of Grass Pitches

Just to say at the beginning that I’ve only rated the “Good for families” section as 4 stars because you’re forced to rate in order to leave a review, however I only glanced briefly at it in the distance so hadn’t given it much thought. Wish they would allow you just to review the areas you wish to. This is a beautifully kept caravan site. It was really peaceful, if you exclude the delightful birdsong all around coming from the forest. When we arrived it was tipping down and our motor mover had packed in. Suddenly the wardens appeared and instantly offered their help to position the caravan. We’re new to caravanning and not very adept at car powered parking! They were so friendly and helpful. The facilities were spotless. They have lots of grass pitches although we selected a hardstanding as it was raining so hard and was forecast to continue for some days. We walked into the charming village of Wickham and visited the Chesapeake Mill (http://www.chesapeakemill.co.uk/) which is great if you enjoy rummaging through old stuff. Another interesting place to visit was Gilbert White’s house in Selborne, about a 40 minute drive away ( http://www.gilbertwhiteshouse.org.uk/). This was an interesting little museum about Gilbert White, Frank Oates and Capt Lawrence Oates. It also has lovely grounds to wander round. Another day we drove the half hour or so to Lee-on-the-Solent and followed the coastal path westward to Warsash. Late pub lunch and caught the bus back to pick up the car. The bus was the X5 which we picked up at Warsash Road outside the Co-op (https://bustimes.org.uk/stops/1900HA040047). Lots of things to do roundabout if you have a car. Only negative was when the we had a powercut. I can’t say how long it lasted as we went out for the day an hour after we discovered it had happened. It only affected a handful of pitches and they said we could move if we wanted. Glad we didn’t as it was working when we came back. We stayed for a week in May. All in all a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend it.
