    The staff in the park, evening entertainment and club are lovely, kind and helpful. We've not come…read moreacross a single bad staff member in the park, evening entertainment or club. They're all so happy and helpful and loved us! 3 even said they didn't want us to leave! The staff at the accommodation/reception, are awful, rude and vile. Discriminating against disabled/trans people for some unknown reason! And making up lies about us. Fully grown adults lying, smirking and making snide comments about us while we're staying with them.We hired two wheelchairs and one of them was broken. Staff at the park promptly changed it for us. It did keep breaking, sadly.The accommodation was nice and somewhat clean. One of the kitchen cupboards was full of sticky stuff, there were moths and spiders everywhere, cob webs behind all of the bed headboards (we only found this because a spider ran down behind there and we had to shine our torches down to find it and seen all the cob webs behind the headboard) and cob webs all over the ceilings, stained carpets, dirty windows, including hand prints. The accommodation was immaculate last year.We stay in the same one every year and were surprised to find toilets and a TV this year! (We called to book). That was a lovely surprise, as struggling all the way to the toilets, was a nightmare before, with being disabled. Although, the "paths" weren't equipped for wheelchairs at all. They're full of gravel/stones, which makes it impossible to use wheelchairs on it and there's no other hire options for disabled people. I.e electric wheelchair/mobility scooter, etc.The evening entertainment was brilliant! As always! Mostly the same as last year, but was great! We love joining in, in all the entertainment at The Adventure Zone. Although, the play area closes way too early, as the children are bored, while the adults are playing Bingo, etc. it should be open until The Adventure Zone closes, as the children don't have anything to do after 8pm, except the arcades, which are NOT cashless and you can NOT use the Crealy cards, as advised by staff. We were told we could use them "anywhere" then later found out there were many places, you could not use them. Look up the definition of cashless, before claiming you're cashless. Every time we wanted to use money, at the cashless places, we had to queue up in a massive queue outside of the park, to top up! If we wanted cash, for the "CASHLESS" places, which were NOT cashless, we had to top a card up, then get a full refund from the card and put the remainder on a new card. It was a whole nightmare! Not to mention the queues. To be told "they can be used anywhere" when they cannot, is ridiculous! You need to elaborate! Again, look up the definition of cashless, before claiming you've gone cashless. We didn't find out until the end of the holiday, that there was another place we could top the cards up - Reception. There were still queues, but nobody told us any information whatsoever about all of this, until the end.Not everything's made for everyone, sadly.. the Hideaways, for example. They're not wheelchair accessible. Stones covering all the paths and roads.. it's a nightmare for walking on, let alone wheelchairs. However, the park is built perfectly for wheelchairs and electric chairs.We hired bedding for £50, which says it includes towels and We received one Hand towel (6 of us).. we do this every year and last year, we all had a towel each, plus hand towels and others! Everyone else had towels, but us.We were forced to purchase toilet roll, as, apparently, it's not provided in the Hideaways, yet, even in the tents, you get toilet roll in the toilets. We had one the first day and none after that. The one we had, ran out after a couple of hours. We asked for some at Reception and was told "do they not have any in the shop?".. we said "no, we've just been and asked and we were told they don't sell it". So, even the shop, doesn't have what we require!! One lovely member of staff, went out to her car to get some for us, so that was lovely of her to do! (My son was on the toilet at the time)The Fish and Chip shop in The Adventure Zone.. closes at 3:00-3:30 and doesn't open again! It used to open for people staying, as well as those who come for the day, but apparently, we're now forgotten about. We needed to get tea, for the children and the only options we had, were the expensive options. "Plenty of places to eat" they say, yet, half of the places are closed! The Waffle Shack wasn't open once when we were there. 8 whole days.Not enough outside chairs at the accommodation, considering it's a 6 person accommodation. There was one small table and four chairs, so we couldn't eat together outside Comfort is a pain, as there's nowhere comfortable to sit, yet, in the cheaper one (Safari) you get a sofa! Even the beds were awful! We woke up in pain, from them, every single morning! You can feel the springs in the mattresses. review too long.

    For ages 4-12, it's a blast - even better there's plenty of room a parent to go chill out while…read moretheir kids just zoom around. Good indoor space for rain, great outdoor rides too. Plenty of picnic areas, indoors and out - that's important if you're taking a few kids. The food is a tad pricey - like all amusement parks. Entrance fees are steep for just one day - but for a whole day and taking your own food and drink it works out ok. Best deal is the yearly pass. I really like the safety. I just go and chill for a few hours, read or computer, drink coffee, people watch... and the kids rocket around with plenty of staff to check their safety.

    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. Been there twice over and 20 years between and it hasn't managed to end up outdated. Still going strong. Recommend for families and couples .

    Secluded, good facilities, great for the kids…read more Camping in October, you must be mad. Nope, I have a campervan. The Inside Park sits in the middle of a largish farm, just a couple of miles outside Blandford Forum. It has around 120 pitches, a fanastic kids adventure playground and several paths through the adjacent woods to keep you and the dog happy. The site happily takes bookings for tents, caravans and motorhomes although you need to bear in mind if camping off season, that the ground can get quite wet so you may not be able tow your caravan off site your self. Not to worry, however, as the site manager has a tractor to help out. Facilities are good, albeit just in one place which could be a fair walk if you're in the top field with a tent. I suspect most campers coming here have a caravan with facilities built in. If you have a campervan like us, facilities are fine for fresh water, chemical toilet disposal but there's no convenient gulley for disposal of your waste water. You'll need a long hose and some patience. On site there's a shop with a reasonably good stock of food & camping items, a laundry, showers and a games room with 3 pool & one table football table. The secluded nature of the site appeals to those who want something a bit quieter, out of the way with plenty to hand.

    Excellent facilities, lovely location... My dogs' first camping trip and this was perfect. Pet…read morefriendly, kid friendly and really clean facilities. There's a little takeaway van that could do with staying open just a little bit longer, but the shop is fairly well stocked. the loos/showers are very clean and the children's play area makes you wish that they had this kind of stuff when you were little. All in all - very nice!
