Liked Good restaurants, not expensive. Personnel are very friendly, professional and willing to assist.

Disliked Optional extras should be reassessed for payment, adventure golf and soft play should be free.
Most of the optional extras were not open this should be made clear in the advertising before booking.
Male staff cleaning ladies toilets /showers without calling out before entering to ensure users are in a decent state of dress.
Lake fishing details should be redressed as it is not up to date. Lake might have held large carp but it is not likely that it still does. Lake is not well maintained, dead ducks, old fishing line, empty cans, bottles and rubbish in swims and lake.
Pitched needs attention, not flat and sparse grass. P

Liked There was a good choice of Outdoor activities, walks and play areas for the kids.
The Pizza night was amazing.

Disliked The water pressure of the showers was not very good. They would also go from a warm temperature to very hot. Luckily it was my older child that was in the shower and not my youngest.

Local attractions

Marwell Zoo (five minutes' drive) has over 140 different species to admire – you can also leave the car back at base and stroll over (about 20 minutes) for a pedestrian safari. Paultons Park (25 minutes' drive) is another perennial fave for family-oriented days out – here you can meet Peppa Pig, crash down log flumes or opt for wanders through a dinosaur-filled forest. The South Downs National Park has some truly splendid hiking trails, including the 100-mile-long South Downs Way (the trail starts 15 minutes down the road in Winchester). Mountain bikers also have plenty to choose from around these parts – an exhilarating bike track through the woods is on hand in the nearby village of Bishopstoke (10 minutes). The gorgeous New Forest National Park (25 minutes) is also within easy reach, and one of the best ways to get around is by open-top tour bus. There are three routes to choose from – it all comes down to whether you prefer vistas of heather-covered heathland or coastal explores. Speaking of the sea, beaches like Lepe and Highcliffe Castle (both 40 minutes) are very much worth the journey (make sure to pack jelly shoes and a towel if at all tempted).
