What customers say
This immaculately kept site is praised for its exceptional cleanliness, particularly the spotless toilet and shower facilities. Visitors highlight the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Its excellent location offers convenient access to public transport, local amenities, and nearby attractions. While generally peaceful, some guests noted occasional noise from the nearby train line and road. Pitches are well-maintained, and the site is considered good value.

Lovely smaller site, clean facilities and close to public transport.
Short stay electric grass pitch (XL)
Liked The toilets and showers were SUPER clean!
All the staff were incredibly friendly and informative of the local area. It is perfectly located for using public transport, both bus and train. The pitch was a great size and because it's not a huge site, all the amenities were really close. There's a little play park for younger children that ours and others seemed to enjoy.
We loved the games room, perfect for a slightly rainier evening.

Excellent site with spotlessly clean facilities, & friendly staff.
Electric hardstanding pitch
Liked *Whitemead is perfectly located halfway between Swanage & Weymouth with an abundance of things to do in all weathers.
*The site is kept impeccable by the (tolerant) team who work tirelessly for long hours and are always upbeat and chatty - in short a positive ambience for a relaxing staycation.
*A dog walk from the site to a local river is convenient for pup owners and ‘evidence’ all but absent.
*Discount in the Ship Inn PH over the railway bridge.
Disliked *Nine days (8 nights) is not long enough. *Personally I dislike having to pay for dogs when there are no specific dog facilities such as a dog wash.
*Expensive when an infant is charged the adult rate. But to quote a phrase - “You pay your money and make your choice”.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review, Charles. We're glad you and your family enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you back again soon. Maybe for a longer stay next time. ;)
Just to address your dislikes, even though there aren't any purpose built dog wash available, we do allow our guests to wash their dogs free of charge at the back of our reception area, if they ask. The £2 daily charge for dogs is mainly for the disposal (and sometimes, although not in your case, cleaning up) of dog waste on our site. Unfortunately, cleaning up of the riverbank and public right of way is out of our control. Also, we didn't charge you for your granddaughter as infants 3 years and under stay free of charge. :)
