Liked First night away without the children, Lovely open space, loads for the kids to do, homely atmosphere, toilets were lovely and clean, indoor play area and a pizza place on site with decent prices
Disliked Didn’t state the shop would be closed which was abit annoying, trying to get a caravan onto the field through there gate is a very very tight squeeze, for someone with little experience driving with a caravan this would be hard

A excellent site for families and friends

Liked Marwell resort, was very clean and tidy throughout, the facilities met all our needs, all staff were very attentive, friendly and happy to help with anything, we had a little issues with our pitches x2 by another camper crossing over to the pitchs we were allocated, but we were able to move straight away. We had a fantastic stay and can not wait to visit again,

Found the price too expensive for a gravel pitch and electric.

Liked The site was very large with fishing lake and spacious grounds to walk around. Club house was nice with outside terrace. Food was also good.
Disliked Shower facilities are old and grubby. Raining during stay and doors were permanently open so cold. Only 3 toilets, sinks for a large number of people.

Liked What a fantastic place. Love the family atmosphere. The staff are so nice and friendly. Nothing is a problem. My husband have a medical and we need to cancel our booking. Normally you loose your money. They were so kind to let us rebooked it. Proper nice people. The Woodfire oven pizza it’s amazing. The activities are great. Just make sure you booked them in a lot of advance. Recommend the Quad bike for kids. The kids love to toast marshmallows in the fire. The fishing lake is gorgeous. My kids are teens. But if you have toddlers. The soft play open into the bar. Brilliant 🤩 would defo come back.
