Huntick Retreat Reviews

Lovely stay, dogs made to feel very welcome

Had a lovely stay, great site and dogs made to feel very welcome. Would definitely stay again.

Really lovely but need better facilities for exercising dogs

Really lovely site, lady on reception is wonderful and very welcoming. But struggled to find anywhere to exercise my dogs. Nowhere to throw a ball about for my dogs and only a small dog walk area no suitable for letting dogs off lead burn off some energy. For this reason alone I would not revisit. I do not consider keeping dogs on leads exercise. Great site if you don't have dogs.

Lovely friendly site

Best overnight stay so far for us lovely and friendly, peaceful and pretty surroundings would stay again. Owner super helpful and smiley.

Visit

We loved the peace and quiet, no road noise.

Fantastic service.

Fantastic service. Owner gave me a free upgrade to a hardstanding spot nearer the bathrooms. The left shower still temperamental though.

Good experience

Facilities are immaculate. The showers could be warmer. Location is great to get to other destinations, the walk to the village is not great due to the busy road and not a footpath, however this is out of your control. Overall a really lovely stay thank you

A great and peaceful place to spend time

We loved staying here, a great location and the facilities were extremely clean and well maintained. I would have no hesitation in staying here again.

Very friendly

Very nice. Clean and very friendly.

Lovely site! Great staff and facilities

We booked this campsite a couple of weeks ago for Easter. The site had lovely staff on arrival who were informative and happy to help. Electric hook up and water is stationed directly behind each pitch, which is great. Plenty of room for awnings. Only fault is the pressure of the showers when using hot water, other than that great. Wi-Fi never worked either, but we didn't get around to asking the staff and I'm sure they would have assisted. A nice touch was providing communal toiletries too. Would come again.

Excellent park

Had a great stay at Huntick Retreat, excellent showers block, very clean, very peaceful place and very quiet. Would recommend.

Delightful site

We arrived early to park and the site manager cheerfully accommodated this for us and modified my booking to include electric connection. I can't rate "the location" because it totally depends on why someone has chosen to stay there. We stayed because we were visiting relatives in Lychett Matravers. The site is pleasantly located with a big green space and our campervan pitch had its own drinking water and grey waste.

Quiet site, lots of robins

Toilet block very clean but unfortunately, the main ladies' and gent's toilets closed for maintenance on our last day, leaving everyone using one unisex toilet & shower. Campsite a little shabby looking, however it was nice and quiet. Walk to local pub is along a country road with no path or lights. Only 0.7 miles and pub was lovely but walk home in the dark was dicey! Exit road from site is very pot-holey. Reception lady was very friendly. Suited us for location to Blandford Forum and the Studland Stampede. We wouldn't rush back.

Huntick

Spotlessly clean washrooms, regularly checked. Decent sized pitches and great dog walking area.

Clean, quiet and perfect

The site is has lovely views of the countryside, plots are a good size. Toilets are cleaned regularly. Woodland walk is lovely for dogs, albeit short, so we just went around a few times. We didn't see the owners at all. Site is no good if you are looking for action or want a shop, it is literally somewhere to park and chill. BBQ and campfires have to off the ground (rightly so). Extremely quiet place to relax and forget your woes. Dogs on leads makes it perfect place for nervous dogs. A bit pricey for somewhere with nothing but despite, that we will be returning many times! We loved it.

Lovely, quiet site

Lovely, peaceful, quiet site, large spacious grass pitches with optional electric hook up. Lovely wooded location with other beautiful views over the hills. Is very close to Poole and Bournemouth and good road links to further afield. Staff were very happy and helpful. Clean facilities (showers, toilets and washing up area). Will definitely return. It is worth noting that the entry barrier suspends between 11pm and 7am (to maintain the quite for other residents) you can still park your car in the car park and walk through but if you are travelling in a motorhome/campervan, this may be a deal breaker for some if attending late events.

Not the best

Sadly, the electric on our pitch did not work and there was nobody to go and see about it. Reception closed before we had time to set up. The ladies toilets had no toilet paper at all in any of the cubicles. One of the two showers in the gents area had come off the wall and so had to be hand held as you showered. Not ideal. Think the campsite needs a little care and attention.

Friendly staff

The grass area is well kept, although I thought the hardstanding areas could be more attractive. It is a little walk to the toilets and showers if you are on the main field and I suggest the owners make a cut through to make access quicker and easier.

A great find

What a great stay, adults only and a peaceful stay. A great location for exploring the local beach/harbour. We had a great Wi-Fi connection, which was very much needed. Clean facilities, friendly host, which we could buy eggs from 👌 Our only regret was not staying longer than two nights. But will most definitely be back here again. Brilliant 🙌

Great site, great facilities

Stayed for just one evening - which in hindsight was a bit of a shame, I wish we'd stayed a little longer. The site is very well maintained, the toilet and shower facilities were spotless. We pitched on grass with EHU and the pitch size itself was generous. We'd definitely go again and would recommend.

Quiet and clean

A quiet and peaceful park. Good and clean facilities, very pleasant and helpful site wardens. Nice dog walking area.

Friendly site

Lovely campsite. Reception were very friendly and helpful. Good, clean facilities and well-kept site. Good for dogs, dedicated dog walking area.

Overnight stay

Great friendly welcome, taken to our pitch which was on a lovely flat grass area. Clean toilet & shower area, as was the washing up sinks. Walked up to the local village pub about a mile away, great food & very friendly 👍 very quiet campsite and when we returned, people sat out but no loud noise. Very enjoyable stay. Thank you.

13 nights at Huntick Farm

We enjoyed the location and did not enjoy the site management of this location. The location of the park was perfect for us to explore the surrounding area, the main reason we chose the site. The serviced pitch was perfect for us as we could use the water and grey waste without the need to collect and remove water with our containers. The toilets were always clean and although we didn't use any of the showering facilities, these were always clean and available. If you are a late sleeper, after 10.00 am, whilst on holiday, this is not a site for you, as every day you will be woken by the grounds maintenance (lawn cutting, strimming). Whilst we were there, they were clearing an area of waste ground, and burning the waste. The other irritation is the burning of the rubbish on site which filled our caravan with a bad smell for days. On our final day, we were asked what wattage of power we had been using throughout our holiday in the caravan. They informed us, in an aggressive tone, that they considered our use of power to be high and that they were considering charging us for what they considered high use. They have a monitoring process that triggers an app to inform them of your power (and internet) use. So if you like to use the heating, lights, and fridge in the evening, this is deemed as high use. We left the site a day early to return home to be comfortable and without being monitored. Will not be returning to this site again and will not be recommending this site to anyone.

Great holiday park

We came from Peterborough to this site and it was a very large pitch. We were guided to our pitch, with help from the cat, and we were very pleased. The site was clean, showers and toilets very clean and well kept, had a lovely week there with our 2 dogs and would like to return again next year with our caravan. Highly recommend this site for adults.
