rubbish/recycling areas were overflowing - very poor

The caravan was very nicely located, a large green space on one side and a short walk from the sit facilities. There was plenty of space with 2 bathrooms to choose from and a cosy feel all round. Roger left a bottle of bubbly on the table for us which was a lovely surprise for our Christmas break. Roger was also very good at communicating in the run up to our stay which was appreciated.
The caravan as a whole was not as clean as I would have expected for a property that is being let out. The bathrooms were in need of a deep clean and the hoover smelt absolutely horrendous when used. We tried to sweep instead but were unable to find a dustpan and brush.

It was a beautiful park home in a secluded private corner of the park. It was large, well equipped and comfortable. One of the bedrooms even had an ensuite with a bath. We just got back from a long weekend. It was home from home. Good Central heating system and hot water. Separate shower room. Dog friendly. WiFi throughout the park. Supermarket on site. Great location for New Forest and coast. All within 15-20 minutes drive. We will definitely be back.
There was nothing to dislike.

The park is lovely as been to this camp site before it's perfect quiet and perfect location the oakdean forest park.
The amount of dog hair and was not clean messaged the owner about washing machine was full of dog hair and dirt and was told it's new washer but I have pictures of it, also took pictures of the problems there and so much clutter.
Bathroom TV does not work as shown in pictures working in collection when booking. Told not been working for ages when asked owner.

Lovely quiet location in a corner and great for watching wildlife. Homely, well equipped accommodation for 3 adults and a very nervous dog. Excellent communication with the owner.
Nothing, it was ideal.

LOved the location of the park and the caravan within the park. Its brilliant for dog walks in Hurn forest which is connected to the park, and various beaches on south coast near bournemouth are within 30 mins drive and New Forest is also within 30 mins.
Didn't like that we had to pay a charge to use park facilities such as pool, cafe and bar/restaurant. It was fine, just disappointing.
When we stayed here in October 2021 the caravan was spotless, this time rounds wasn't the same. The bedding, hand towels and tea towels were clean and fresh. However, the bathroom sinks had toothpaste on them, the bathroom smelt funny, some of window ledges inside weren't cleaned, kitchen window looked like it has been wiped with a dishcloth and the outside table on decking wasnt cleaned at all. So with all these little things it didn't feel as nice as it was the first time we stayed here, which was a shame

The location was really good quite loved the woods squirrels around us varrander outside area was great. Great communication from the owner and also provided us with cot and high chair for our stay for our 17 month old
Cleaness of the property was not great poo around toilet cobwebs in main bedroom floor under chair crumbs under neath also could smell dog had to go out get cleaning products and clean property
I think less personal belongings would be good less clutter also had no where to put our stuff food etc in kitchen cupboards

The location is ideal for visiting the New Forest, Poole and Bournemouth. The caravan is in a quiet spot on the site and you can do forest walls direct from the park. Ideal location to take bikes. Local amenities are good with several supermarkets within a couple of miles, Starbucks up the road and some pubs within easy reach
The caravan wasn’t quite as clean as the last time we visited. There seemed to be quite a bit of pet hair on the cushions. Shorefield, owners of the campsite charge a ridiculous amount of money for day passes (£13 approx for an adult) to use the facilities so we didn’t use them. We were unable to pay to just use the pool.
4.3
The location was stunning, the beds were comfortable and the WI-FI was very good. Very dog friendly and the side entrance was perfect.
Lack of towels, appliances complicated to work and the sofa was uncomfortable.

The area we're the caravan was so nice watching the wildlife
We didn't know we had to buy park passes to use the facilities and the sofa bed was a let done due to it not been comfortable at all but other than that the van was excellent and we will definitely be booking again

location was very good especially for dog walking
sofa was very uncomfortable. the cooker was greasy in places, could have been a bit cleaner

Perfect location for Bournemouth, we visited twice. The park is good too and dog friendly. We were able to go to the clubhouse and see the entertainment, without our passes, however we couldnt use the pool, but there is a good one 5 minutes away in Ferndown. Quiet location and it is well kitted out with dishwasher and washing machine. Showers are good too. There is a nice veranda around the property so kids and dog could go outside without running off. Roger was very easy to communicate with and help, if we needed him.
We were happy with everything and would definitely consider staying again. A few more washing tablets or bin bags might be an idea as buying from the local shop on site is quite expensive especially when only staying for a couple of days.
4.3
Great location in the park- we reckon it must be the best plot. Spacious for us and our young family. And well equipped.
Needed park passes to access some of the facilities on site, which we couldn't work out. Not sure if we should have had these or not. It didn't affect our stay but some more information on that would have been helpful.

Great forest location, just a short drive to Durdle Door, Corfe Castle and plenty of beaches. Close to a Sainsbury's superstore, which was great as we were self catering. Decent kitchen facilities, comfortable bed and great shower.
Remember to take a bath towel (we didn't, but bought one in Sainsbury's)!

The mobile home we stayed in was in great location on the park was comfortable and it had everything needed for a great stay, large fridge freezer,microwave,oven and hob,with a large selection of pots and pans, 2 televisions, dvd player with a selection of dvds. Kingsize bed and ensuite all in all a very comfortable place to stay.
