The Red Lion

Liked Staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities were good and having the pub right there for food and drinks was very convenient. Was easy to find and just a short drive away from the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Liked The location was great, very close to durdle door etc.

Easy check in and affordable price

Disliked A few issues only one washing up sink, limited toilets and showers for the amount of campers. Food In the pub for breakfast took over an hour to come with a relatively quiet pub. The coffee that came had clumpy milk that looked gone off, and the drinks took 30 minutes to come. The young lad who worked at the bar was lovely very helpful and apologetic.

Liked The perfect option for our stay, to the nearby areas we planned. Great size, didnt feel like you were on top of each other. Staff were friendly.

Disliked Bathroom blocks basic, 1x shower not working which created a back log of people waiting. Needs some TLC. Pitch was quite stoney struggled in certain areas especially as it was so dry already.

Liked Small friendly site right next to the Red Lion pub which served excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Showers were nice and hot and cleaned daily. The site is convenient for walking, cycling or driving to explore Dorset, only a short distance to Lulworth and Durdle Door, and Bovington Tank Museum. We took a lovely stroll via the next door cricket pitch through the beautiful village of Winfrith and up over the ridge to 5 Marys view point to see the spectacular rolling Dorset countryside. We also visited Moreton Ford and the resting place of TE Lawrence of Arabia.

Disliked The site is next to a main road however this was not a problem for me. The site is set back enough that the road noise was not overwhelming and the traffic quietened after 8pm each evening. We were in a tent and I do wear ear plugs so it was no problem, and if you were in a caravan or camper van it'd be no problem either.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time and trouble to leave a review; some very nice photographs. We are delighted you enjoyed the pub. The pub is an old coaching inn and as you highlight this makes it ideal to explore the local area but does mean that it is adjacent to the local roads. Ideal for that quick getaway to the favourite visitor spots before the roads become too busy. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Liked Loved how the staff made us feel so welcome. The site had all the facilities we needed. Great spot for exploring Dorset and we look forward to returning.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time and trouble to leave feedback - and such a nice photograph. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Liked Great location for Durdledoor and Lulworth. Nice pub with good food. Good sized pitch.

Disliked Small, dark and dirty shower rooms. No mirrors. Bins were overflowing onto the floor and very smelly.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time and trouble to leave a review. There are 4 showers available on a 24-hour basis in two separate blocks (as indicated on the Campsite Arrival Pack) and they are cleaned and reviewed on a regular basis. They are lit by a combination of electric and solar lighting with 'day time sensors'. Unfortunately during the peak hours the showers can become busy and we do ask that campers let us know of any issues so that we can address them in a timely manner. I have passed onto the relevant team member your observation regarding mirrors (I assume in the showers). I am not sure why on the occasion that you used the shower blocks they were 'smelly' and I asked the staff to look into this, but nothing outwardly untoward could be found. I do hope this provides some clarity to your feedback.

Liked How cheap it was, close to all the attractions, level large pitches, easy check in check out process. Make sure you book the pub for dinner

Disliked The codes for the bathroom and shower were unreliable and really annoying to use. Be careful about booking the corner pitch as it is directly next to the main road.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time and trouble to leave a review. The codes to the two separate shower blocks can at times be fiddly; unfortunately it is a necessity as it prevents passers-by parking in the car park and using the facilities. We look forward to seeing you again at some point in the future.
