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.

Reasonably priced. Nice location and cabins were clean and had everything that we needed…read more Really nice place to get away and stay to experience such a lovely location.

The roof top bar has reasonably priced food, basic entertainment and beautiful views out to sea. While we we there they used the large playing field to put an absolutely massive bouncy castle in. They also have a few security guards wandering around who are courteous which is a nice peace of mind. Only very slight negatives here are that the pitches are relatively closely packed together so if you have small kids and have a noisy pitch next door or vice versa it may be a challenge. However, it's really a lovely site in a lovely location and that shouldn't put you off. Some reviews mention the proximity of the cliffs but they are at the end of a long walk and a beach so unless you aren't watching your children for ages is not a problem at all. Take your fishing rods as the beach is great for Mackerel fishing so good to spend some time fishing with the kids. People were catching loads without effort.

This is the perfect place to get away from it all. This campsite is in the middle of the New…read moreForest, so you wake to find New Forest ponies outside of your tent and wandering around! It is great for exploring the forest. The campsite is really big, we came in the weekday and it was fairly quiet but as soon as the weekend came the place became very very busy with campers - iot looked like a festival! its obviously extremely popular so I would defo recommend booking if you are going for a weekend. If you like something on your campsite to keep you occupied then don't come here, it is not the sort to have entertainment etc, in fact there is only the reception which is open in daylight hours where you can buy milk, torch batteries etc, there are toilets and showers, and that is pretty much it. It is a couple of miles out of Brockenhurst so you need a car - we came on foot and soon became good friends with the local taxi driver! Fabulous walks, and believe me being a city girl it isn't really my thing, but I loved it here. I imagine this would be even more fun if you got a big group of friends / families together to come here as you can make your own fun and get to spend some proper quality time. Brilliant.

This campsite, part of the New Forest, was very pleasant and I would certainly recommend others to…read morevisit if the weather report says it's going to be a nice, sunny weekend. We planned our trip months in advance, so it didn't quite go to plan weather-wise (despite it being the beginning of August... welcome to England), but pack a mac and a hoody with your T shirts and you're prepared for all conditions. The site itself was very clean and close enough to the A31 to escape to civilisation, if needs be. No showers or electricity on site though, so be prepared to slum it a little. Horses also roam freely round this part of the country, which is quite nice and makes things interesting- they're quite harmless, but leave any food out or attempt any ad-lib bare-back riding, and your tent might not last the night.

This park offers serviced grass and hard standing pitches, as well as an area of Premier pitches with additional facilities. We are often told by customers that what makes this park stand out is the welcoming, inclusive atmosphere, as well as the great views out to sea. The park is situated just outside of Milford-on-Sea, a large village featuring beautiful beaches, as well as an array of pubs and restaurants, all within a quiet countryside setting.

This year we rented a VW crap-box and after one night the staff here was able to take the rest of the £ we paid for our pitch and put it toward a cabin!! GREAT customer service. GREAT facilities.

Great location for this store, you can pop in when strolling around the streets of Salisbury.
