Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Another fabulous stay at Newlands. Staff are always so friendly and helpful. We had car troubles and had to take it to the garage same day which left us stuck as most things we left in car boot. They helped with charger and staying later than our check out time. We had both dinner and breakfast- delicious. Favourite was the blue cheese sauce. Facilities are brilliant!!! Everything is looked after so well.
Disliked: Nothing!!

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Food was excellent far. Better than expected good choices and well prepared and served with a pleasing attitude and smile from sky Bus stop very handy Good swimming facilities Handy shop
Disliked: Bus was handy but no seats for hour long wait for buses for us older folk Across the road the grass and nettles were not even trimmed by anyone ! a small job to make it less dangerous only one person can tiptoe to one side when getting off from from bus Even five minutes courtesy with a strimmer would endear the people who want to use your site! Lack of modernisation to toilets to keep somewhere near the standard of the other facilities provided by other sites that we stayed with i.e. shower toilet and basin all in one cubicle if modernised to this standard it would enable you to have even more facilities so lack of investment shows lack of care Staff were not quick to take us to our site. We waited 3/4 of an hour in the car park for someone to come after we’ve been in the office and no number was allocated as it was forgot! Pitches were in many cases dangerous and wet and not adequate facilities to prevent mishaps or misjudgement when parking a bit tight on Room. It was too easy to run over the stabilising lines from peoples awning and their motorhomes design of access to these allocations need a lot to be desired. The lack of providing water tap to each pitch shows again lack of investment and organisation , as we have come here a number of years , and it is still shows lack of judgment on so many issues, ie why not have decent photos of the brilliant food you have to offer! To entice! And inform all catering staff what you have available and indicate how the care has been put into preparation! I made enquiries to staff what was on offer and was greeted with I don’t know. I will find out.

Liked: Great facilities, well maintained grounds including the dog walking field, spotless showers and toilets, great food and friendly staff. This is an excellent site with lovely views, bus stops literally just outside the main entrance and is within easy walking distance to Charmouth and the beach. Level pitches on good size plots.

Liked: The camp was very clean and tidy the pick was good almost flat the bar was great friendly staff and a good atmosphere but could do with live music as they have a captive audience with nowhere to go so was pretty empty apart from Friday night when they had bingo on not our thing but went for the fun
Disliked: Needs more entertainment in the bar Saturdays and Sundays
