Liked Quietness of the site, friendliness of the staff, marvelous walks and scenery. Dogs loved the open field next to the site. The shop across the site is well stocked and provides lovely pastries in the cafe section. Kings Arms is 10 mins walk down the road. Very attentive staff in the restaurant and a nice roasting fire in the pub section. Bus stop to Weymouth is outside the Kings Arms and runs frequently. Only way to get public transport to Dorchester is via Weymouth.

Liked Power supply was good and powered all the goods in the van. On site facilities were also good. There was even a bath in the shower block. All very clean. Chemical waste area was easy to use and good water strength to clean out the cassette. Dish washing area was clean and washing machine and tumble dryer were available although we didn’t use them. The site is within a few minutes walk from Gatehouse on Fleet, which has a Spar shop, hotels, restaurants and a selection of unique shops. There is a river walk and lovely spots to sit by the river. The site was so quiet and peaceful, the silence only punctuated by birdsong.

Disliked Hardstanding pitch has the power and water point in the middle of the pitch so had to use the pebbled area to avoid hitting it. My van is just 7.4m so longer vans would have to do the same.

Liked Facilities on the pitch. The toilets and showers were very clean. Dishwashing facilities were clean and tidy. Vending machine on site was a plus as was the coffee and hot chocolate machine. An enclosed dog walking field was access by a gravel path and there was a footpath from the site. Just offsite was a small shop and cafe (no dogs allowed). And a lovely pub, Kings Arms, dogs very welcome, nice food at a good price. Best of all was the site staff, friendly and helpful. Made staying a pleasure. We will definitely stay again.

Disliked Although there was a bishop five minutes walk away, there was no bus after 6pm on the Saturday.
