Ninham Country Holidays: Vintage postcard of Luccombe

General

  • Peaceful site surrounded by woods filled with wildlife
  • A short drive from Shanklin and Sandown Bay
  • Heated outdoor pool on site in summer months

This is such a pretty site – tucked in a quiet glen beside an unruffled duck pond, and embraced by bluebell woods full of red squirrels, badgers and woodpeckers – that you may never want to leave this peaceful little wildlife haven… But when you do manage to drag yourself away from Ninham Country Holidays, it’s just a short ride through gorgeous countryside to the safe, sandy beaches Shanklin and Sandown Bay.

The Orchard pitching area has spacious, level landscaped pitches divided by hedging and mature specimen trees. Guests have access to modern bathroom facilities, with renewable technologies such as solar water heating and rainwater harvested flushing toilets.

There's also an outdoor heated swimming pool at this park (open late May to early September, and operated on a regulated booking system). TV and games rooms are also on hand for keeping the kids busy in mid and high-season periods.

A firm emphasis is placed on being nature-friendly, and all guests are expected to adhere to a strict recycling policy and the countryside code. Please note: well-behaved dogs are accepted for most of the year, but not during the school summer holidays. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times on site.

AA 4 pennants

    This is a very good campsites. Extra large tent pitches, very clean facilities, everything was tidy and well organised. Surprisingly not busy in half term!
    We didn't use the swimming pool or the games/tv room so I can't comment on them. I know you can also hire ice packs and games but again we didn't use them.
    Very handy to be closed to supermarkets and to the coast.
    The welcome pack was useful with the map of the island and a magazine that we used for some last minute planning.

  • Orchard electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (XL)
  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    We had a very large flat pitch which was great. The toilet/shower block was very clean with lots of toilets, showers and washing cubicle. Friendly staff. A long way off the main road so no road noise . A nice off road walk to Morrisons or Marstons marked on the site map.

    Disliked: 

    We were a bit confused at the entrance with the private driveway sign. Wasn’t sure if we were allowed in or was their another entrance for us to use . After searching we went for it and it was the entrance we were to use .

A large, well thought out site with excellent facilities.11/09/2022

Reviewer's country: United KingdomSusanna H.Confirmed

  • Orchard electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    The toilets are spotless and the showers are well designed and warm. This is a large site but it is well organised and thought out. The pitches are relatively flat. The electric cables connections and drinking water is easy to get to. All the facilities are great. There is a handy Morrisons near the site if you need provisions but you are far enough away to feel like you are in the countryside. Unfortunately, the weather was too bad while we were there to use the pool. The pitch sizes are generous and we had enough space for a kitchen tarp (something needed given the weather).

    Disliked: 

    Pitches are assigned to you. I would prefer choosing a pitch but this is only a minor point. We were there outside of peak times so there was lots of spaces between used pitches but the actual pitches are quite close together. I can imagine during peak times this might feel crowded.

    We had an amazing stay! Staff were so friendly and helpful. Great location, we walked to the beach a could of times and got a bus back up but drove other then that.
    The facilities are lovely and clean! They have a family shower cubicle with a baby bath which was so useful with an 11 month old.
    We enjoyed using the pool during our stay and my children loved the trips to the park.
    We hired ice blocks and renewed them each day which was very helpful and worked really well for us.

    Disliked: 

    At 10am departure is very early, a struggle for a family with little children.

    Honestly this site is such a wonderful place. Bug pitches, friendly staff, lots of open space to place and a wonderful location with car free cycling paths and walking adventures all around. Great facilities and always clean. Showers always hot. Play areas for children well maintained.

    Disliked: 

    Honestly the only issues we had were that the pool was a bit too cold and the shower push buttons are too short before you have to press them again... Especially if washing two small children as well as yourself!

    The campsite and amenities were lovely, exceeded our expectations.
    Pitches were very spacious, had lots of space for kids to play and felt so safe letting them explore.
    We loved the pool which was amazing and such a bonus! It was heated and had lots of sunbeds and chairs.
    Toilet block was modern and clean, really nice showers which were always a nice temperature.

Local attractions

The plentiful cycle tracks and footpaths mean it’s easy to start exploring the Isle of Wight’s diverse terrain of hills, woodland and white cliffs framing golden beaches.

Not for nothing is this called the Garden Isle: Mediterranean plants thrive in the mild climate, and visitors can expect to spot a wide range of wildlife around and about. It’s no wonder Queen Victoria and her brood decamped here so frequently from smelly London (visitors can check out their seaside digs at Osborne House).

Natural attractions aside, the island offers great watersports from its lovely beaches, as well as all manner of other athletic activities, and sights to suit all tastes.

Culture vultures should try Carisbrooke Castle or one of the many museums, dinosaur hunters can track down the great beasts that used to roam the shores, fledgling zoologists will enjoy the many animal-based attractions, and that’s before we even get started on the scenic steam railway, glorious botanic gardens or rip-roaring theme parks…

Must see

  • Dinosaur Isle (2.1 miles)
  • Isle of Wight Steam Railway (4.2 miles)
  • Ventnor Botanic Gardens (5.9 miles)
