Hill Cottage Farm Camping and Caravan Park Reviews

A lovely site

Lovely well presented site. Large pitches. Showers and toilets very clean and well maintained. Will definitely visit again.

First break in new van

Nice site, staff very friendly and helpful. Site was very clean. Would have been better with a pitch with a view, not just a static home opposite and very noisy campers behind, but that's not site's fault.

Lovely quiet campsite and helpful staff

The site is in a good location (we were able to travel on wide roads to get the caravan through). It is small and quiet. The facilities are lovely and clean, with regular cleaning. The staff are very helpful too. We had a problem with our caravan which was spotted while we were off site and they phoned us immediately. This helped to prevent a major disaster and meant we could continue our holiday. The electric is easy enough to do, you just have to keep checking it. We would definitely book again.

Short trip away! Really nice camping

A really clean and quiet campsite.

Thank you Rebecca, I will pass your compliments on to the team.

Great site

We had a massive pitch, which had privacy hedging either side. We loved the metered electric, we spent £5 for 4 nights stay. Most sites charge up to £10/night for electric, so I was pleased that this is a much fairer system. The shower and toilet block were heated, they had good showers with push buttons. We had plenty of pre-stay info' e-mailed to us, so check in was easy. The location was a bit out of the New Forest Park. We walked from the site to Fordingbridge but at this time of year the footpaths were waterlogged in many places. We cycled to Moors Valley Country park, which had great forest cycle trails, 7.5miles each way to get there. All in all, a great stay.

Restful break

A very good site, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The showers and toilets were very clean and there was a Thai restaurant /takeaway which was tasty.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Thomas, we hope to see you again next year.

Great stay

Location, facilities and instructions great. We were first timers trialling a campervan and sadly got stuck on the grass pitch due to ridiculous rain! The owners came to our rescue and pulled us out! We were very grateful and they were smiley and jovial. Site was immaculate with clean, impressive facilities. Highly recommend! Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Karen. Always happy to help, hope to see you next year!

Absolute gem

What an absolute gem of a site. The ease of booking in prior, to buying our electric was an absolute breeze. We stayed on a fully serviced hardstanding and I can honestly say we have never stayed on such a large pitch, with lovely hedges all around, which gave you privacy. The shower and toilet blocks were spotless and always had plenty of toilet roll! The site itself is so well kept, nice short grass and no rubbish laying around. So much easier having the ANPR barrier, no fiddly codes to input or cards to zap. There is free Wi-Fi on site, it was sometimes a bit hit and miss, but hey, you're not having to pay extra for it, so all good in my book. There is a small play area for children. We were out of term time, so can't say how noisy it may be during school holidays. The site is very well laid out and you can interact with fellow campers or not, whichever takes your fancy. There is also a Thai restaurant on site and although we didn't eat there this time, it looked lovely and very reasonable and we will certainly partake next year. We arrived on the Saturday and that evening the site had made such an impression on us, that we have booked for 2025 already. if you're thinking about this site, I would highly recommend.

Thank you for your lovely review Caroline. I will pass your compliments on to the team, it's always nice to know the hard work is appreciated. We look forward to seeing you next year.

Perfect spot

Very happy with this campsite. The on site Thai restaurant was an added bonus.

Site's response

Thank you Richard, see you next year!

Had a beautiful stay, we will definitely return

A clean site and the staff were very helpful. Only thing, we didn't get Wi-Fi for our stay, but other than that, we couldn't fault it. Would 100% return.

Site's response

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Kerry. We're aware that the Wi-Fi is unfortunately patchy, we plan to upgrade it as soon as we can. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you in 2025.

Will book again in 2025

3rd visit, love this site. So convenient and well looked after. The dog facilities are fab and an easy walk to the village, and pub for a meal if you don't fancy cooking.

Site's response

Lovely, glad you enjoyed your stay, see you next year.

Clean and organised site with a great on-site restaurant

Great site. Clean, organised and great staff. Only criticism would be that the Wi-fi was poor and non existent on our pitch. The on site restaurant was great and well priced. If you just want a relaxing site, this is it.

Site's response

Thanks for your review Andrew. Unfortunately the Wi-Fi is patchy and we plan to upgrade it properly as soon as funds allow.

Fabulous

Absolutely delightful, quiet and clean, the bonus being the Thai food on-site!

Thank you Tim, glad you enjoyed it.

First time new set up

Quiet peaceful site. Excellent facilities. Clean, tidy park. Enjoyed the on site takeaway. Would highly recommend a visit to the Dorset heavy horse centre. It is only 10 minutes away, very entertaining and plenty for children. We had only booked for two nights to experience our new van and test our driveway awning. Will definitely be back again.

Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely review, we hope to see you again soon.

Excellent site. Location was stunning, facilities were 5*. Love the on site Thai restaurant, so dog friendly. Will be back.

Perfect campsite

A perfect little campsite, everything you need. Perfect location for New Forest and beyond. Spotless throughout, we will definitely be returning.

Thank you for your review Kevin, hope to see you soon.

Nice stay at Hill Farm Cottage

Overall a good campsite in which to stay. Staff are helpful and approachable and the site, including all facilities are modern and well looked after. Location is good, with only a few miles of narrow lanes away from A roads to get there. There are a couple of improvements that would need to be completed if I were to book another stay. The advertised Wi-Fi is extremely poor. No matter where I roamed around the site, even in the information room, the signal was weak and extremely slow. On our pitch the signal was non existent. I did ask the person on reception to feed this upwards as, for the pitch price, I would expect a decent Wi-Fi signal on all pitches. This day and age, it is simply a must for a lot of campers. The showers were clean and we'll maintained with the water being a good temperature. However, the press button controls on the three showers I used during my stay had to be repeatedly pressed approx every 5 to 8 seconds. This was too short a period and made an enjoyable shower much less enjoyable. Please give us at least 20 seconds per press. Not too much to ask is it? Apart from these 2 issues, I would give the site full marks.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Brian. We will check the showers. We are aware of the Wi-Fi issues and plan to upgrade it as soon as we are able to. It is poor in the information room because it is projected forwards from there towards the pitches, so it's good if you're sitting on the bench just outside.

Lovely site

Excellent place. Very spacious and clean. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Would definitely recommend for those with caravans.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Margaret, I will pass your compliments on to the team.

Lovely campsite

A lovely campsite, it was very clean, tidy and had friendly and helpful staff. A well maintained pitch in a lovely and very quiet part of the New Forest.

Excellent site

First time we've stayed at this site and have to say, it's an excellent site with great facilities and a good location. Would highly recommend.

Site's response

Great, thanks Peter! We hope to see you next year.

Great site

I would recommend this site to anyone. We will be staying here again. The site is very well laid out and maintained to a very high standard. All the staff we spoke to were very helpful and polite. The addition of the on-site Thai restaurant and takeaway was a major bonus too, the food there was fantastic. Fully recommend.

Site's response

Thank you for your lovely review James.

Excellent, as per usual

This is one of our local go to places when we want a quick weekend getaway. Facilities are always spotless, even when the weather is as challenging as it was. It poured all weekend lol. Didn't stop us from taking advantage of the lovely Thai restaurant on site. This is probably the last weekend we'll have there before it shuts for the winter but we will most definitely be back next year!

Thanks Mark, glad to managed to enjoy it in spite of the weather!
