Lack of sleep!

We stayed 2 nights, the first night we were woken up by shouting and screaming from a nearby caravan. We felt the small retail shop was also poorly stocked with no coffee 😞 Clean facilities and hot showers.

We switched the coffee machine on at the start of the season and sadly it has malfunctioned, we have the engineer booked to come and sort it this week. We can only apologise that we didn't test it sooner. Unfortunately we had some very badly behaved guests your first night. It is very unusual for us and our staff were equally unhappy with a very disturbed night, during which they visited the guests several times to ask them to be quiet. The rowdy guests were not allowed to stay and left the following day. We are very conscious of keeping a peaceful site and this was an unfortunate one off.

A nice, smaller scale camping site on the edge of the New Forest area. Fordingbridge is a short drive away and there are nice towns and villages around to spend time. We stayed on possibly the wettest Monday in March ever on record. It was so bad that we spent 23 out of 24 hours on one day inside the camper. There appears to be nice walking tracks close to the site but we could not access them due to the wet conditions. Staff at the site are very helpful.

Glad we stayed here. We liked it for being in a good location, ample areas for walking our dog, good size pitch and secluded hedges. The site was well kept, tidy and clean and the staff couldn't be more friendly. Will be back as we want to try the Thai takeaway and venture further.

Had a peaceful 4 day stay on a fully serviced pitch, unfortunately, we were there the same 4 nights as Storm Babet. We were on pitch no 10 and the water seemed to stream down to our pitch, but it soon drained away. The Thai restaurant was a nice treat, we would definitely stay there again when the weather is better.

I loved how private all the pitches were. The only thing I can think of to be picky about is perhaps the light could stay on a tad longer when washing up - I would've looked peculiar waggling my leg behind me to get the light back on every couple of minutes whilst washing up in the dark! But that's about it, and it's hardly a trial. We will definitely rebook as it's so handy for New Forest walks there.

Thanks for your lovely review Jen, and thanks for highlighting the lighting issue, I'll get it checked. Hope to see you again soon.

This mature site with well established tall hedges between the caravan pitches, lovely for added privacy. The pitches are large and the hardstanding is plenty big enough for a caravan, awning and car. We loved the dog walk and the convenient local pub, as well as the on-site Thai takeaway (when they say spicy they mean spicy!) - lovely authentic tasting food. The bathroom block was lovely and clean and the on-site shop really convenient for essentials, with friendly and helpful staff. Loved our stay and we will definitely be back again.

Can't rate this little gem of a site enough. Fantastic, very well kept little place with really smart, lovely facilities. Respectful quiet times, unlike other recent sites I've been to, and beautiful walks at bottom of the grass pitch. Site behind nice, simple little park for little ones, fishing lakes to the right and a village walk to the left. Gorgeous scenery on walks, if you appreciate the countryside, and the staff were honestly friendly. I've been to many sites over the years but I really took to Hill Cottage Farm as it's got a lovely, peaceful vibe to the place. I will 110% be returning as much as I can in the future :-)

Lovely campsite, the cleanest one I've stayed in by far. The toilets and showers were cleaner than most swimming pool changing rooms, which I was very impressed with, considering it was quite wet and muddy weather. I stayed on my own but felt very safe, I liked the number plate recognition barriers for added security and the staff were very easy to get hold of when I needed to ask questions. The dog walk was lovely, a nice way to stretch the legs in the morning and say 'hi' to the horses. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.

This is a beautiful place. Surrounded by lovely countryside. The walk through the woods to the local pub and shops was great! Very peaceful and quiet. Lovely takeaway on site. Local taxi service to another pub was handy. Having a separate car would have been better for us as we came in our motorhome, but we did enjoy the rest. Very clean toilets showers and facilities - the site is excellently maintained. Would highly recommend.

We loved everything about this campsite. The location, the layout, the trees and bushes between the pitches, making it not seem just like a caravan parking lot. All the staff seemed very chilled and I've never been to a campsite that was so peaceful. Hearing owls all evening and a huge sky full of stars made it feel very special.

We have just returned from a lovely weekend away at Hill Cottage. The campsite is one of the best we've been to and we will certainly be returning next year for another stay. We stayed on a fully serviced pitch and we found them very spacious and very well kept.

We love staying here and come back to it a couple of times a year. The pitches are large, well laid out and most are flat. The facilities are clean and have always been in good working order. The Thai takeaway on site does great food too. This time we stayed on a hard standing with grass pitch. Unfortunately we couldn't get our pegs into the ground as it was just too hard. Even our hard ground pegs weren't able to get through the hardcore so we had no choice but to set up our awning on the grass, which is not allowed. We didn't put the floor down to try to limit any damage to the grass. Only adding this to the review so if any other campervan users book a grass only pitch and don't get caught out like we did. We felt so bad. That being said, when the site team walked around the next day nobody asked us to move it so we relaxed and guessed they didn't mind. A great place, would recommend a stay here. Great walks from the site. Blashford lakes just 10 minutes away (drive) and close to lots of great places to visit.

We had a lovely stay at Hill farm Cottage, staying in the Shepherd's Hut. Campsite was beautiful with very green lawns and the hut itself was perfect, super clean and had everything we needed. Showers and toilets were always immaculate and really enjoyed the walk through the woods to the pub. I'd definitely recommend this place and am very keen to return!

We had a lovely stay at this campsite. The facilities are very good and everything was kept nice and clean. The downside was that on very hot days there was no shade on our pitch, which made it too hot to spend time onsite. Our 3 year old loved the play park.

A lovely site, beautifully landscaped in a great location, and a really nice circular walk for our doggies past the lakes. We didn't have time to explore the walk to the local village and pub...but will certainly do that on our next visit. Very happy with our visit.

Lovely campsite. Showers and toilets very clean and modern, lots of waste disposal points and a lovely walk for the dog from site. Only 15 min walk into the village, which was great as didn't need to use the car at all. We were lucky to be in sight of the playpark so could keep an eye on the kids. It's a small site but very well looked after and friendly staff too.

My husband and I stayed here with our daughters (aged 10). It's the first time we have used our Caravan as a holiday away. The campsite was just wonderful, so much room to park our caravan with ease, easy hook ups and water access. Toilet and shower facilities are very clean and tidy. The campsite itself was very clean and tidy. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We shall be looking at coming back again next year. Thank you Hill Cottage for making our mini break a fabulous one 😊
