Liked Lots of space, good location.
Disliked No place to wash dishes, portable toilets.
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're really pleased to hear you appreciated the huge space we have around us and our beautiful New Forest location — it's something our guests love.
I am sorry you didn't use our HOT WATER WASHING UP AREA! We also provide washing up bowls and fairy liquid, brushes, scourers and cloths. We have one main area for hot water washing up, and many other areas for washing up around the site with tables, drainers, washing up bowls and washing up liquid.
We have our great new Compost loo block ,as well as plenty of very clean and well maintained portaloos.
We genuinely value all feedback — both positive and constructive — as it helps us continue to evolve. We're sorry you missed our hot water washing up areas and we will make sure we show other guests when they arrive so they don't miss it!
