 This was our first visit but definitely not our last. We had a big fully-serviced pitch - the only problem was having to borrow extra water pipe!
The people were very helpful and friendly, and baguettes freshly-baked on demand were much appreciated. The main toilet/shower blocks and laundry were all beautifully clean. There were other toilets in the camping area but we didn't check those.
We found an excellent pub with restaurant only a mile or two away, and Fordingbridge town has all the shops you need. But, for us, the big feature of this site was the bird life. There are dozens of bird boxes for all types of birds, many of which are in the trees along the nearby woodland walks.
Even the site mail box was out of use because Blue tits were nesting inside! The only improvement we could suggest would be a site entrance sign nearer the edge of the road. We weren't the only ones who drove past on arrival and had a tricky turn round manoeuvre to get back.
We will definitely be back.

Lovely peaceful site having just come back from a 4 night break we would recommend this sit. We stayed on the caravan side which were very spacious pitches lined with hedges and were fully serviced pitches. Couldn't really find a fault with site other than would benefit from a dog exercising field, having said this there were a couple of short walks, and a woodland walk though we didnt have time to venture the wooded walk. You would however need a car to appreciate surrounding areas as realistically only a pub and a shop in walking distance, this is a 10 min walk by the side of campsite you do however go through a couple of horse fields and over several styles but don't let that put you off. Fordingbridge is not that far away and has variety of shops, pubs and takeaways, I would definitely return, very relaxing.

We had a weekend here, with friends. Site seemed very busy, but there was plenty of space so didn't seem crowded. We had a good sized pitch on the edge, in the camping field. Initially we were disappointed not to be in the caravan bit (individual pitches lined with hedges and on gravel), but it worked out for the best as we had taken the children's bikes and there was no cycling allowed in the caravan area.
They very happily cycled up and down in the camping field. The electric points were in odd places, in the middle of the field rather than round the edge and as a consequence, there seemed to be electric cables trailing everywhere.
The washing facilities in the camping field were very basic and not that pleasant. Not much privacy and no hand towels in the ladies side, all the time we were there. Not sure if they were cleaned or not, but I ended up doing the long trek to the facilities in the caravan area as these were much more pleasant.
The mens facilities in the caravan area were not very well lit apparently. The other facilities in the caravan area were good, washing machines etc. There was a rumour of a games room, but we couldn't find it either - upstairs somewhere I believe - Signs would be good!
We visited Burghley (excellent pub, The Queen's Head) and Moors Valley Country Park, which we have vowed to return to as soon as we can, as it was brilliant.
Overall, a spacious site (if you are on the edge) and fairly quiet, with nice surroundings. I'm not sure we would revisit as there are plenty of other sites to try in the same area and the toilet facilities were a bit off putting.

We have recently returned from this site and the hard standing pitch was very spacious with little hedges each side. The surrounding area was good and local shops in Fordingbridge very pleasant,(approximately 2 miles away).
The lakes on the site are very neglected, dirty and overgrown. We also had a problem when we first arrived as we had booked and paid for an awning but after struggling in the heat to erect the annexe that goes on our awning we were told to take it down as we had not booked for this.
There is however no mention of extra charges for annexes within their price list or anywhere within the brochure, and we have never been asked to pay extra or pre book our annexe at any other camp site and we have been camping for many years. I did point this fact out to the warden.
It is also worth mentioning that there is a large rally field at the rear of the hard standing pitches which can become very noisy at times. Also there is only one shower block for the whole of the site including the rally and camping field which can become very busy.
Overall the site is quite pleasant but be warned it is very easy to miss the black and gold sign on the road at the entrance to the site and the road is very narrow so very difficult to turn around in.

Our first stay at this site, but certainly wont be our last.
Laid out really nicely, we stayed in the rally field, plenty of space. On arrival, the owner got on his bike and cycled along to show us where to pitch up
There is a kids playpark at the end of the field which was great as our children could go off and play and we could still see them easily.
Facilities good and they were always clean, one of the owners came round at 10:30 and spoke to anyone who was making too much noise. We found it very quiet there.
Highly recommended

Just returned from this site. Nothing wrong with site. Staff friendly. Facilities as good as any you would expect to find on a Caravan Club site. Clean and all in good condition. Location is great for touring around and of course the beautiful New Forest. However DO NOT be lured to this site if you are hoping for some fishing, because the 3 tiny lakes are not managed, two of them would be almost impossible to fish due to debris in the water and the overgrown nature of the surrounds. Shame because that was one of the reasons for us choosing this site. It would also have been nice to have been informed of a 'children's rally' present, which rather spoiled our first 2 days. Lots of positives but one of our reasons for visiting, the fishing was simply not realistic and for this reason only we would not return!

My wife had asked for a pitch with internet access, it turned out the internet access was very limited and the few pitches that could receive it were taken.
We were shown to a hard standing pitch with a hedge behind it, we didn't realise till later that this hid the toilet block and children's play area for the camping field, this was incredibly noisy as was the entire camping field which was just behind us, some of the people with annual pitches said that it had been like that all summer.
The toilet block was basic and appeared to be hosed down every day rather than cleaned, this left it incredibly wet for the rest of the day.
We found the warden unhelpful and thought the site expensive for what it was.
This site is in an excellent location but I would not recommend this site for couples hoping to enjoy some peace and quiet. However if you have a noisy family you will love it.

We visited Hill Cottage Farm for a weekend visit and had chosen carefully as we had a family in our party who had never camped before and we wanted them to have the best possible experience. We needn't have worried, Hill Cottage Farm is a lovely campsite where the owners seem to go that extra mile to make the stay comfortable.
We stayed in the camping field which has the most beautiful situation with plenty of space and EHUs. There are toilets here which are very clean. The main block by the reception houses the showers which were also clean with lots of hot water. Each basin in this area has a fresh cloth left by it so that you can wipe it out after use so that it's clean for the next user. There are a whole row of hairdryers and everything is free. The laundry room also has a whole row of washers and driers, plus sinks and an ironing board. Infact the whole site was immaculate and just had a lovely feel to it.
The washing up station in the camping field was the only area I would criticise as there was only tiny basins with push button taps. We found it easier to wash up 'in camp' by boiling a kettle.
We stayed with two other families and it wasn't a problem for us to pitch in a circle, 'cowboy style!' The children took their bikes which they had to keep to the camping field only but this wasn't a problem and they also made full use of the playground.
Fordingbridge is a lovely little town on the edge of the New Forest and you are only 30 mins from Bournemouth (we went to Hengistbury Head and walked to Mudeford Sandbank which has a lovely sandy beach backed by gorgeous beach huts - very pretty). All in all a lovely area.

Spent two weeks at this site,lovely warm welcome on arrival from the warden. Shown to our pitch which was a lovely fully serviced pitch which was excellent for a two week holiday. Our pitch had a slope to it which took a little bit of work to level and get the awning to fit.
Reception had a small selection of daily basics available, but also on request papers could be ordered along with bread, baguettes and croissants.
There's a Spa in Aldershot which has everything you require, we did attempt to walk the road way which was a bit dangerous, there is a lovely wooded walk which is safer but hard work on a night.
Fordingbridge has a lovely selection of shops, tea rooms and pubs. There is also a lovely park with a paddling pool for the little ones.

We stayed at this site for just 2 nights, we were shown around the campsite by friendly warden, and then taken to tent field, we had booked an electric hook up and was given the choice of a few pitches, the field was very flat, clean and very tidy, the toilet block on the tent field was very clean and tidy, our children made good use of the children's play area.
The dog walking area was clean and no mess, the lakes were small but pleasant to walk around, the site is very well situated and within easy access to the forest and just a short drive to salisbury. Fordingbridge is a lovely little town, offering good shops and pubs.
We had a fantastic time staying here and would definitely stay again, our only criticism if any would be the pitches are a little too close together, barely enough room to park a car in between tents, but then it was in august!

My daughters and I stayed at Hill Cottage Farm for 3 days in August. The site is in a lovely area within easy reach of the new Forest, and the pretty town of Fordingbridge.
The toilet block in the Caravan area was excellent a nice alternative to the rather basic toilet facilities in the camping field. It is a very child friendly site and my daughters had a lovely time playing with all the children.
The site details said there was a games room but we couldn't find it! perhaps if it exists it needs more advertising. We found the site was quiet after about 10.30-11pm. We really enjoyed our stay but felt it would have been even better if the tent pitches had not been so close together.
It would have been wonderful if tents were only able to pitch around the edge of the field not all over it. I would recommend the site to other families.

Just had two weeks at this lovely campsite everywhere was spotless we were on a fully service pitch which was divided by a hedge and give you that little bit of privacy,with plenty of room.
Our daughter was camping in the rally field she had plenty of room too and lots of space for the children to play there is few swings that the kids enjoyed, there was recycling bins for everything,and a small dog walk.
The only down side was we were out till 20.50 one night and couldn't get the car back next to the caravan as there a height restriction bar and having a roof box on the car we couldn't get under but on the bright side no one could do away with the caravan.
Overall a excellent site would love to return.

I placed my caravan on this site for my nephew to use for a week with his 3 children, this was to be there first taste of caravanning, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. The site is very well kept with friendly wardens.As my nephew left on the Saturday my family and I then took over for 5 nights. We had superb weather and a great time.We stayed on the rally field which in my opinion is better than the hard standings, they are too close together.
The showers and toilets are very clean, but the water temperature fixed and shower heads very poor, not ideal showers for kids, but fine for adults, and they were never busy. The games room is very good but you have to ask at reception for them to unlock it for you, and when you finish tell them and they then lock it, no wonder it is not used much, you get tired of keep asking!

Just spent a long weekend at Hill Cottage Farm. We thought it was a lovely site. Very clean and well kept. The staff were friendly and helpful. The showers were a little weak but there was plenty of hot water! Although there is no on site 'shop', you can get some essentials from Reception and there local shops aren't far. We had friends with a camper van and we stayed together in the rally field.
It was pretty flat and had electric hookup for both of us. The gravel pitches looked good too. There was a small, very popular children's play area within site of pretty much all the pitches in the rally field.
The kids were allowed to ride their bikes round the field too, but not around the gravelled pitches (which is a good idea).We visited The Ship in Fordingbridge for dinner on our first night and had a fantastic meal with superb service. Would recommend the steaks with Cafe de Paris sauce (their secret recipe!). We enjoyed it so much we went back again before we left!

We have just spent a very relaxing 11 nights at this site. The wardens were very welcoming and helpful. The site itself is a couple of miles outside the town of fordingbridge which has ample shops and pubs for all your needs. There are plenty of interesting places to visit within a 20-30 mile radius.
The site was very clean and quiet, the noisiest inhabitants being the local farm animals and wildlife. This site would not suit someone who likes lots of activities but for those who, like us, just want to unwind it's great. Would definitely return if we are down that way again.
