What a fantastic experience
It was a lovely albeit breif stay. The grounds are truely stunning, tucked away in the beautiful surpundings, with great access to beaches, forests and all the delights of the surrounding area. Graham welcomed us and a pack was already prepared for pur arrival, which was done via car. So easy!!! A nice little touch indeed. The modern finished Esme cabin was a really departure from the normal and we loved it. There were a few smells, you can tell its dog friendly, which we saw, but it definitely smelt of wet dog in the bedroom entrance. The fire didnt work, which we didnt need for heat, but would have looked nice. Either way, it wasn't enough for us to make a fuss about, but a few points from perfect for maintenance. The park, well, thats amazing too!!! The halloween event had really been brought to Sandy Balls and they had done such a good job. All the staff we encountered were super friendly and helpful as well. We would absolutely be redommending this to other visitors. We shall definitely return in the relative future. And plan to bring a couple more of us too. It was a great stay. Also, due to a family emergency a thank you to the extra mile travelled by Karen, helping us out with our problems resulting in an early departure. We literally left too early, but we also cant wait to come back. Thank you everyone on the team.

Lovely stay
Accommodation was nice, perfect size for a family. Had everything we needed. Children’s entertainers were great and lots to do at no extra cost with little ones. Nice forest location. Lots more of people moaning about cleanliness of lodges, but other than a broken blind and a few cobwebs it was clean. Halloween decorations and entertainment was great for the little ones. Little one enjoyed the soft play, children’s entertainment, mini Landrover, swimming.soft play and arcades. Lodged inside are a little worn in places, mostly the carpet, but this is not due to quality or cleanliness, just some people not looking after them eg wearing shoes on carpets. Bedding was clean although there was one tiny burn mark on the sheet. Overall we had a lovely time and hope to go back. Stayed in a 4 bed executive lodge with hot tub. We ate out on site one day for breakfast. Service was slow but staff were friendly and apologetic, and food was very nice when it did come. Would recommend

Sandy balls is an amazing place.. we stayed in a Zen 10 with a Hot tub, not much outdoor space around hot tub and the lodge was lovely but starting to get a bit tired.. Also no WiFi or phone signal and as we went with a large group it was hard to stay in touch.. The kids loved it especially the Alpaca walk with Sid who was great and the colour run and cream pie fight.. Food really nice but drinks a bit pricey.. great for a long weekend..

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.
