What a beautiful place to stay

What a stunning place to stay. This place is one of the cleanest and well kept parks we've stayed in. We highly recommend visiting Hill Cottage Farm. It was nice and quiet with just the right amount of essentials on site. Beautiful walking paths and a little play park on site. Very nice shower and bathroom facilities that were regularly cleaned and well maintained. The staff were so very friendly and always approached with a smile. There was all sorts available to borrow in the information room such as badminton rackets and board games. Books to borrow and maps of the area which was just a great touch. We had electric hook up and our pitches were well labelled too. We loved how easy check in and out was all online and the map to the pitches were easily followed. The surroundings were all well kept with bushes all trimmed and neat. The grass was freshly cut and not one scrap of rubbish or litter found which was just amazing. The price was also very reasonable at £60 for two nights stay electric hook up for a tent. We are eager to get back and stay again!

We enjoyed our stay and had a large pitch. There is a dog walk which leads into woods - ours loved it! The facilities are clean and there is a Thai takeaway on site. There is a small charge for day visitors.
Site's response
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have introduced a small charge for day visitors to cover costs of extra electricity usage, washroom use and general wear and tear, rather than increasing pitch fees for everyone which would seem unfair. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, hope to see you again soon.

A very well kept campsite. It was very quiet when we stayed. There was sufficient toilets and showers during our stay, I would be concerned if there would be enough to cope during busy periods. The pitches are very large, the largest we have ever stayed at anywhere. There is a pub within easy 20 minute walk through the woods, they serve very good value meals. We would have liked to have walked to Fordingbridge to try other pubs, sadly the footpaths were very overgrown and not passable with shorts on. Obviously not the fault of the campsite. Unfortunately we had to leave on Wednesday morning, as we would have liked to try the campsites Thai food. The menu looked very good and reasonably priced. I gave the location just a 4 star rating because it isn't situated on the New Forest. We will definitely visit here again.

Really easy to check in and out, and the facilities were clean and tidy. The pitch was also lovely, with your own green area, so we set up the badminton set, plenty of space, and no issue with the electricity, or grey waste. We booked the kids into the new forest waterpark, which they loved, we booked a cab which was only £16. There is also a pleasant walk through the woods to the village and a nice dog-friendly pub. Lots of dogs on site which was nice to see as well. We were not near the play area thankfully as the noise would have spoilt our stay, however, this is down to the parents and not the site. Something to bear in mind when booking a spot though, look at the site map and plan accordingly. 99% were respectful however.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Jason. I'm glad you enjoyed the local pub and the water park, great fun! Hope to see you again soon. We try our best to accommodate pitch preferences where possible, and do try to pitch couples without children or with older children away from the play area.

Just back from a lovely stay. Wonderful pitch with hedgerows around the pitch giving a sense of privacy. Each pitch is extremely generous and caters for a caravan, awning, car and an outside seating area. The site is silent at night! Not a sound, so peaceful and easy access by car to a cycle route around Ringwood. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Bed comfortable, kettle, toaster and fridge but no other equipment in the hut so need most of the camping equipment,. Shepherd's hut and facilities were clean. Showers at busy times could be cold and washing up water was never very warm. Good site for children and adopts quiet after 10 which works!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry you had an issue with the water temperature, we will look into that, thank you for letting us know. There is a 2nd shower and toilet block near reception which all are welcome to use.

We came for two nights in our campervan. Had a bit of difficulty getting in using the app and then a lady appeared and told us to just drive in and the gate would open. She seemed to be in a rush so our initial reaction to the welcome wasn't great to be fair. However the site itself more than made up for it - the pitches are massive we could have fit two big tents in there they were so large. The site is clean and the facilities are adequate. On the first day we didn't realise that there was a path at the back of the site that took us into Alderholt so we went on a rather treacherous hike along quite busy country lanes on foot. It would have been a better experience if we were asked if this was our first time and given information or even a leaflet about access. That said, the standard of the site was very good they even have a freezer you can use. Great for children as there is plenty of safe areas and a little area with swings and slides etc. Overall I thought that the site offers really good value for money. I would overall recommend this site.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have a numberplate recognition barrier to gain access to the site so the barrier is triggered as you approach. In front of reception we have an information room with places to visit and maps for local walks. The team work hard to keep the site clean and tidy and I have passed your compliments on to them. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon.

Lovely site with a mixture of hedged and open pitches, many with electric and water, or fully serviced. Small shop. Great information room with lots of leaflets and maps for things to do. Woodland dog walk with access to woodland and paths to the village. Friendly and helpful staff. Toilet and shower were always clean and tidy. Laundry room.

We just enjoyed a lovely week at Hill Cottage Farm. The site was lovely, secure, clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful, the toilets and shower block were spotless and regularly cleaned. We also liked the fact that recycling was also available. The site has a nice playground for our 3-year-old and ample-sized pitches. We also tried the Thai kitchen takeaway located on-site, which is highly recommended too. Including the sunshine we had all week, we thoroughly enjoyed our camping week here.

Thanks for your review, Matthew. Really glad you had a great week here. The Thai takeaway is a new addition this season and has been really popular. We hope to see you again soon.

Loved the site as soon as we got there. Loved the fact that the fully serviced pitches had hedges either side. We found it easy to see the new forest from the site. Also went to Bournemouth which we really enjoyed as never been before. We ate out all week, which was nice. Loved the local pub food was good. The staff were helpful. When our dog needed a vet, they helped us to find one. Have already planned to go again next year.

Thank you Teresa, really glad you enjoyed your stay and hope your dog is feeling better. We look forward to seeing you next year!

Really nice site. Good service to the pitches and really nice clean facilities. The team of staff are very friendly and very helpful. Some of the roads in the villages close to the campsite are quite narrow so care needs to be taken when towing.

Water and electric on each pitch in the hardstanding grass area. Clean facilities. Helpful staff. It has everything you need. Do check location as it's 30 minutes from Lyndhurst and near Fordingbridge. My brother was in the shepherd's hut and we missed seeing in the notes sent to us that there is no bed linen, though it says you have all the necessary things in there. Our fault as we should have read it, but just be aware. It also has car licence plate recognition which generally helps speed up entry and exit. Overall, a good stay. .
