Valerie D.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked A really lovely welcome and a great site, which I would highly recommend. We visited when it was really wet (Feb), and the hardstanding pitch was perfect. Access to the pitch itself was great too; the pitch itself was level, and next to a little stream under some trees, which was really lovely. All the facilities you need. Location is great, just 10 minutes drive from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. There is a pub across the road, but it was sadly closed when we visited.

Disliked You can hear the main road, but honestly, it's not loud enough to be a nuisance.

James E.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked Friendly welcome from the owner, peaceful site despite being between two roads, nice waking up to birdsong, and the noise of water and ducks in the brook. Pubs and small shop which sells homemade sweet treats within walking distance. The site is behind the owners house so the place feels like staying in a large back garden.

Disliked Washing and toilet facilities need more attention, they looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while, with full bins and grubby services, my husband fixed the toilet roll holder which was on the floor and unblocked the shower because the shower tray was filling up during use.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked Ideal location for walking. A beautiful 4.5 miles to Lulworth Cove! The pitches and outside spaces are very well cared for and the owners very friendly. Easily accessed from the road.

Disliked The toilet/shower facilities were unfortunately a little grubby and there was no replacement handwash. It is winter and it is understandably difficult to keep floors clean, but I believe I was the only person staying at the time.
