Found the sofa and chair not very comfortable . The knob on the cooker was broken and glued. And the shower head needs a good clean .

The Lodge was lovely .Very nice part of the site very friendly wild life . Had some good days out around dorset. Would go back for another stay as we did enjoy. Weather was up and down .

I liked everything it was near perfect . If I had to mention one thing it would be the oven knob which could do with replacing as broken.

Comfortable well equipped caravan in a beautiful quiet position. Perfect location for going to so many places of interest.

No bath towels and as we forgot to bring them, we had to use the hand towels. So remember to bring them.

Great location. Quiet corner of the park. Very private. Home from home. En suite with bath added bonus. Very cosy.

The caravan as a whole was not as clean as I would have expected for a property that is being let out. The bathrooms were in need of a deep clean and the hoover smelt absolutely horrendous when used. We tried to sweep instead but were unable to find a dustpan and brush.

The caravan was very nicely located, a large green space on one side and a short walk from the sit facilities. There was plenty of space with 2 bathrooms to choose from and a cosy feel all round. Roger left a bottle of bubbly on the table for us which was a lovely surprise for our Christmas break. Roger was also very good at communicating in the run up to our stay which was appreciated.

Paying for a pass to use the facilities. Yes, I can appreciate having to pay for the gym, sauna pool, etc. but we never used them but still had to buy a 3 day pass to use the bar, which at over £20 per person is a joke.

An excellent location and a very nice holiday home with all the comforts of home.

There was nothing to dislike.

It was a beautiful park home in a secluded private corner of the park. It was large, well equipped and comfortable. One of the bedrooms even had an ensuite with a bath. We just got back from a long weekend. It was home from home. Good Central heating system and hot water. Separate shower room. Dog friendly. WiFi throughout the park. Supermarket on site. Great location for New Forest and coast. All within 15-20 minutes drive. We will definitely be back.

Nothing, it was ideal.

Lovely quiet location in a corner and great for watching wildlife. Homely, well equipped accommodation for 3 adults and a very nervous dog. Excellent communication with the owner.

Location is great, side garden is lovely and it's sooo quiet

Stayed in October 2023

We couldn't sit on sofa...the springs have gone , so had to bring in a garden chair....sad because all else was fine...

Everything was there...although tin opener needs renewal....ha ha ,

Stayed in September 2023

The only down side I can mention really is that there is only seats for 3 in the lounge, an armchair and a 2 seater sofa bed, which was quite uncomfortable to sit on. Whilst there was only 4 of us so it was fine there is only 4 chairs around the dining table and it can be a 6 berth.

The caravan was exceptionally well appointed, everything you could need was there. The main bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept on (except my own!). Excellent water pressure for showers, the site is lovely quiet and peaceful and perfect with the little grass area next to us for the dog to run around on. Plenty of room and storage.

Excellent place to relax. Had Wi-Fi uninterrupted 10/10. Could pay more attention to cleaning the place. Especially after people who stayed with their pets.

Best location throughout the park

Stayed in August 2023

Park passes are quite expensive and some of the staff could do with extra training on giving good customer service. Food not all that either... might be better to find a nice restaurant off site or cook your own which we mostly did as the Lodge had all the appliances needed. Apart from that all was great! 👍

The lodge was very nice indeed... homely and cosy It had everything we needed and more and it suited the six of us perfectly. Loved the location too... right next to the forest, and with the private bit of garden for the grandkids and dog to play on, everyone was catered for. The lodge is just a short walk to Reception for park passes (if you want to use the facilities) and there are some lovely walks to be had in the nearby Hurn Forest. Overall the site is very well kept... nice on the eye and clean and tidy. It is definitely a great place to bring the family. There are lots of places off site to visit depending on how far you want to travel. Seeing the New Forest ponies at Beaulieu was an absolute bonus for us... they're so beautiful! All in all a wonderful stay and would highly recommend a visit to Violet 28 at Oakdene Forest Park.

Fabulous position. Very quiet and peaceful right next to forest.

The caravan wasn’t quite as clean as the last time we visited. There seemed to be quite a bit of pet hair on the cushions. Shorefield, owners of the campsite charge a ridiculous amount of money for day passes (£13 approx for an adult) to use the facilities so we didn’t use them. We were unable to pay to just use the pool.

The location is ideal for visiting the New Forest, Poole and Bournemouth. The caravan is in a quiet spot on the site and you can do forest walls direct from the park. Ideal location to take bikes. Local amenities are good with several supermarkets within a couple of miles, Starbucks up the road and some pubs within easy reach

Lack of towels, appliances complicated to work and the sofa was uncomfortable.

The location was stunning, the beds were comfortable and the WI-FI was very good. Very dog friendly and the side entrance was perfect.

Stayed in July 2023

We didn't know we had to buy park passes to use the facilities and the sofa bed was a let done due to it not been comfortable at all but other than that the van was excellent and we will definitely be booking again

The area we're the caravan was so nice watching the wildlife

Everything was just perfect. Beautiful spot on the site. Everything you could need for your stay. Loved it!

No waste bins in bathrooms or bedrooms, difficulty lighting oven and microwave baffling copy of instruction books would have been helpful. Settee not the most comfortable

Location was lovely and wrap around veranda for containing dog from squirrels was good, so peaceful , dog walk through the forest was a bonus, would like to stay again sometime and thoroughly recommend. Clean and comfortable well equipped, large frig freezer with ice maker.

The beds were comfortable, the shower was excellent. The lodge was lovely, all the facilities that anyone would need. The surroundings are lovely, trees, flowers, squirrels and birds. Peaceful setting. Friendly people. Would stay again.
