The unexpected upgrade to an Indulgent caravan with a hot tub was great, loved that! The accommodation was situated among lovely trees towards the back of the park. It was immaculately clean and very large, with all round decking, en suites and TVs in each room, perfect! However, the neighbours we had were quite noisy - on the first night, the man opposite us was playing drum and bass loudly for about four hours, and on our third and final night, the group to the side of us had a hot tub party with loud music that went on till 1am in the morning... Could have done without that aspect tbh, as it just spoilt the peaceful and natural surroundings. We just wanted to enjoy being in the New Forest, away from it all.

Great stay. 100% recommend. We'll be back.
Absolutely brilliant stay. We've not been before, but heard good things from many many people. That was worrying because expectations were high - but brilliantly, we were not disappointed. We'd happily come back again soon. We were lucky to be able to travel out of peak time, so it was nicely quiet, although still had enough people for a nice atmosphere. And the weather was perfect too.

Paid for early check in but I had to wait for it to be ready. Was in a lodge but was obviously a pet friendly lodge as it stunk of dog in the main bedroom. Had to have the windows open all the time. There was no WiFi at all, apparently it is not a guarantee. In this day and age you need WiFi for most things now - which is why I was surprised to see that all three tvs were smart tvs, yet you couldn’t use them. I had a call from guest services who offered to get air fresheners to the lodge to mask the smell of dog and then said because I booked through Expedia was why I didn’t get the memo about WiFi. I have stayed at sandyballs before and have paid almost triple the price for this lodge and I have to say the cheaper one was better, even without the ‘select pitch’ and hot tub. We had an amazing location on the park. Sid was an amazing team mate - clearly passionate about the Alpacas and that was infectious. The restaurant / pub was disappointing, despite being a family friendly resort, no crayons or colouring given when arriving / ordering food, which was surprising given the set up. They did have separate menus for food intolerances which was great.

The property was very comfortable, warm and plenty of space. Did think that there could have been a greater amount of crockery and cutlery. 4 of everything doesn’t really require the need for a dishwasher. Only filling it with about 10’items does seem a waste of energy. However that is a very minor detail, everything else was spot on.

If I could give more than 5*s I would, for what we payed it was absolutely amazing, if your looking for something a little more lavish they also cater for that for a slightly extra cost. Facilities all included which was a lovely surprise!, plenty to do on sight so you don’t actually have to leave!! Will definitely be returning, thank you for a very enjoyable stay 😊

Disappointing this time
We have stayed here a few times but this time the fence surrounding private hot tub were broken making it not private. Curtains were too shorts, smelt of wet mouldy wood, heating didnt work properly and I had to sort boiler. The sign for the onsite bar gave opening times so we planned to have food there for our last night so didnt have any food with us. Went to the pub and it was shut and onsite shop was closed at this point. Overall not a great visit which is a shame as normally we look forward to going there but neither myself or my fiancee feel like we want to go back.
