Me and my family had a lovely holiday staying at Sandy Balls…read more Recommended by a friend of my Mum's my parents really wanted to return to this area after having a great long weekend staying just outside Fordingbridge. Sandy Balls is easy to find and the welcome centre is very friendly and come out from the building to great you whilst your still in the car. All the cabins are easy to locate as the site is well signposted. The cabins are brilliant! They all come with an outside picnic bench and barbeque, with barbeque equipment stored in each of the cabins. Are cabin had three bedrooms, a double ensuite and two twin rooms. Probably only one of the places I've stayed at where the twin rooms were a decent size. I really liked that they both included small dressing tables with a draw and stool underneath. The wardrobe space was large but the standard few coathanger provided. The bedding was great but my only complaint was I got very hot and would have liked a thinner duvet. The cabins were very good a keeping heat in and were always opening windows to cool down a little. The ensuite and bathroom were lovely, the best feature being the led lights intergrated into the mirror. The living room/ dining room was well balanced, plenty of room for 4 people to set on the sofas but I think a 6th guest would have found it a squeeze. The kitchen was great, all the appliances looked new, we found the fridge a little small but we did have a lot in there. Would have much preffered a chopping board that wasn't glasss but appart from that the kitchen was really easy to use. I big plus point for me was the arcade games! I really enjoyed having them there and had a lot of fun playing on the 2p machines and table hockey. The cafe/restaurant and pub were very good in their own right and didn't feel like they were there just for people coming to Sandy Balls for holiday. We won the weekly quiz and had a great evening not living the holiday park.

On the line from London to Exeter you will find the Salisbury station, which is one of the main stations along the way. Offering perfect access to the beautiful old Cathedral and the lovely Wiltshire wilderness county town of Salisbury on the plains, and not very far at all from Stonehenge. Also trains from Cardiff to Portsmouth and Brighton come right through here as well so it's quite a big crossing on the railways. It's a lovely old station of brown brick and one of my favourites. It had been growing in usage throughout the middle of the last decade but in the last few years it went down quite a lot which is sad. We hope that it increases again in future.

The shop is a little cramped when struggling with a pushchair, but if I find I can't get round then I'll ask a staff member to get it for me. I find they are helpful enough, there is never an outgoing willingness to help me I do have to ask and make it clear I need help, but that's the way some people are. I think the prices are slightly expensive but they are not a superstore so they have to be forgiven for that.

Location is about 1/2 mile from train station. I walked to train station to catch the Stonehenge tour. Next day walked through quaint town to Salisbury Cathedral (Magna Carta) and museum. If you have a good pair of walking shoes, you don't need to rent a car if you stay here. Met other travelers from the States during breakfast as well. Would stay here again, hands down. PS Strong free wifi.

We had gotten to the point where we were going to backtrack to the last time we for sure knew where we were when all of a sudden my husband spotted a rare street sign, and we realized we had accidentally found the place. The owner had emailed me back in the States for our expected arrival time, and luckily we made it within our designated time frame. The B&B was small, but nicely maintained. I loved the bathroom - the skylight really brightened up the space. It was surprisingly quiet even though all the rooms are in close proximity. Our host explained that there would be a continental breakfast in the morning, and if we wanted something hot, we needed to make our selection the night before, so we each ordered the Full English Vegetarian Breakfast. Breakfast in the morning was efficient and hearty. The only downfall is that parking is very tight. We had to pull into the driveway because we weren't permitted to park on the street. This meant we were blocking in other cars, and we were blocked in ourselves when the last guests arrived. Luckily, no one needed to leave in a hurry!

MARRIOT NO LONGER OWN THIS HOTEL…read more This hotel is a disaster. Checked in no problem. Walked to my room this was the trail of destruction with breakfast tray still in the corridor at 7.30pm. Went to get dinner. Told they had just seated a table of 14 and there would be a very long wait could i order at the bar. Get to the bar to be told starters pizza pasta or salads only. Order chick wings which came with crudites but dirty celery. Report going into environmental health on Monday. Breakfast not available till 8 am. Bacon cold. Hash browns cold everything else barely warm. Again report going into food safety agency on Monday. Avoid the food on site. Decor dated and worn out carpets. In short. A nasty place to stay. Report submitted to Environmental Health as follows The photos taken of the problems I encountered can be downloaded on the following we transfer link https://we.tl/t-bBGYFpvYxt 1 Is a health and safety issue for guests of the hotel 2 Food Safety issues for Guests of the hotel 2 instances Issue 1 - Glasses left in a corridor I checked into the hotel early evening at about 7.30 pm no problem checking in - however when I got to the corridor my room 443 was on - a series of Bar glasses were left in the corridor which fallen on would cause a significant safety risk to the person falling on them - it appeared that they had been there most of the day since housekeeping had been round ? Also left on the corridor was a breakfast tray which has jam marmalade etc. on it which also led me to believe the detritus had been on the corridor for some time Risk - Older guests who could not see the glasses due to poor eye sight could have slipped tripped and fell and had severe lacerations Issue 2 - Evening meal served with dirt on it I went past the bar glasses and dirty dishes and went to the restaurant to be told that they had "just seated 14 guests" and there would be significant delay in serving food I would be best to go to the bar and order there - I did to be told only starters, pizza and pasta available. I order chicken wings with crudités and a mixed meat pizza. The chicken wings arrived but the crudités still had dirt on the celery see photo attached. Risk unwashed / uncleaned salad could infect someone with bad food poisoning Issue 3 - Cold / not well reheated food - meat items breakfast I had paid for breakfast the night before and went down to eat - waited 30 mins for the restaurant to open - 730 am - 8 am. Then helped myself to the breakfast buffet - the bacon served was cold the bacon was folded over the thin bit of the rasher underneath as if it had come out of the fridge and not been warmed through but left under the warming lights , the hash brown potatoes cold, the sausages luke warm, the beans, eggs, mushrooms also luke warm - I think this is contrary to food safety in the UK as all meat should reheated to a specific temperature 75 degrees Celsius? before served? Risk - under heated food could also lead to food poisoning from bacteria.

We were able to walk across the street to the West Quay Mall and a variety of restaurants. I do recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

One didn't have enough AC, and the other one the toilet did not flush properly. Also there was no telephone in the room. I could not reach the front desk unless I walked back down to them. Not very safe in my opinion. The price was reasonable given its location.
