Hill Cottage Farm Camping and Caravan Park Reviews

Lovely quiet site (stayed out of school holidays)

Very efficient automated entry and pitch allocations. Good walking and cycling close by. Pitches mainly level. Automated electric system very easy to use. WiFi signal not great.

Great base to explorer the New Forest

Cracking site to explorer the New Forest. Large, private pitches, immaculate site and facilities. No on site bar/entrainment but that’s not what this place is about. They do however have a great Thai restaurant/takeaway, I highly recommend the duck curry!

A perfect site. Clean and quiet.

Nice and relaxing stay

My daughter and I stayed for 1 night but I wish it was more. Facilities were clean and tidy, showers were hot and the site was tidy. We will be returning. ☺️

Great hardstanding pitches

Stayed on a fully serviced pitch, plenty of space to put out awning and still had grass to put the seats in the sun. First time I have stayed at a site with PAYG electric and put £12 on when I arrived and still had some left when I left 6 days later. This was including having a big fan on most of the time for the 30 degree heatwave we had. Site is a great location for getting out and about in the car and the best dog walk area I have seen, all shaded and parts go into the woodland, so could walk the dogs even when the sun was out. Water pressure on pitch was great and showers were powerful and hot. Nice little pop-up coffee bar open during the day and a Thai takeaway open 4 nights a week. Would go back here again. Wi-Fi was very poor but they are sorting this out over the next few weeks so hopefully that will help. Three network very bad signal for those thinking about perhaps doing some work from the van, but meant we had to just chill and have a glass of wine or 2 so not a bad thing 😜

Excellent location with good facilities

The site was well looked after and a good standard of cleanliness, although we were surprised how many people seem comfortable to leave their mess behind rather than leaving the facilities as they would like to find them. There was Wi-Fi, however, my phone could not detect it very often and we were quite close to the toilet block. On a positive note, O2 and Vodafone 4g was reasonable, so Wi-Fi was not that much of a problem. There was only 2 washbasins in the toilets in the camping field, which were quite busy at times, however, there was another toilet block with more facilities not too far away. Electric was on a prepayment system which seemed to work well - you can see your balance and top up on line as you need to. We put on £5 before we arrived and that lasted us the entire 9 nights. There were excellent walks from the campsite and Aderholt was within walking distance. The on-site shop had a few basic supplies. There was an on-site Thai takeaway which also did fish, nuggets chips etc as well. Other campers said the Thai food was good but we did not try it.

Great site, lovely pitches and surroundings

Great site, lovely pitches and surroundings, poor electric management system. Lovely campsite. The hedges around each serviced pitch is a lovely touch and makes your pitch much more private. The neighbouring forest is beautiful and we walked through it a few times. The Thai takeaway on site was really good too. The only issue we had was the so-called "e-pitch" which is an internet based electric pre-pay meter. The experience of using this system was very confusing, non-responsive, and the app does not work at all, so you have to use a browser which will not let you remember login info. But other than that, we had a lovely time.

Stunning!

Absolutely nothing negative to say about this site. All staff were lovely and pitches and facilities so clean. Will be returning as soon as we are able. Sue, Dave and Poppy 🐾

Family weekend

Easy check in and check out. Extended checkout on the day to 2pm which meant time for cooked breakfast before packing up at our own pace. Lovely big pitches and spacious green for the kids to play. Nice and quiet after 10.30pm. Shower and toilet facilities very modern and clean. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely use this site again.

Lovely weekend away

We absolutely loved our stay this weekend. My only suggestion would be to turn down the shower temperature - it was so hot!

Family weekend camping trip

Lovely tidy, well kept site. Modern, clean facilities.

Amazing little find

Amazingly clean and well kept campsite. Great updates from minute we booked. Friendly staff .. Well deserved 5 stars. Loved our stay.. Will definitely be back.

Our stay

Just starting out on our camping adventures and found this site on an online search. We were looking for a dog friendly quiet site, with all the normal facilities including pitch side electric hook-up, and we were not disappointed. The on site shop has all the basics and the toilets and showers were spotless.

Lovely stay

We came away for a few days break and it was just what we expected - quiet, good location, lovely amenities.

Site's response

Great, thank you for leaving a review. You know where we are when you next need a rest.

Hill cottage farm

Very clean and tidy site, took a little while too get used to the pre payment meters as we've never used them before and was wondering if the meter had money on it but obviously was fine. Lovely big pitches but make sure you have plenty of hose as the post is far away from the van but luckily enough the shop sold accessories to purchase an add on .. Would definitely use again 10/10.

Amazing Stay

Amazing place. Clean, friendly with lots of space. Added bonus a Thai restaurant/takeaway on site. Best curry I've ever tasted. Showers were the best I've encountered. I will be returning and would recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We hope to see you again soon.

Lovely campsite

The campsite was great, plenty of room between pitches, clean showers, toilets and washing up area. Playing area for children and a dog walk area - disappointing that a few dog owners still too lazy to pick up after their dog(s). There is a lovely walk to the nearest village - Alderholt, through woodland, which has a wood chip path - just make sure you take a photo of directions (in the Information Office). The walk is about 20-25 mins. Alderholt has a nice pub and a co-op for provisions. All in all, would highly recommend this site.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I will pass your compliments to the team. We hope to see you again soon.

Beautiful campsite

Beautiful site with tall hedges separating pitches and walking area around nearby field. Automatic barrier worked 100% of time. Parcels were delivered to the reception where I could collect them. Just to bear in mind that road leading through Fordingbridge to campsite is narrow and bendy. It takes 7-8 minutes to get to nearest A Road if you want to visit places in Dorset or Hampshire.

Lovely site, friendly welcome

Beautifully situated on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Friendly staff and well stocked shop. The design of the toilet, washing up, shower area was lovely, and added to the experience.

Excellent campsite

Lovely, clean and peaceful site. Pitches are a generous size. Location is good as Bournemouth, Poole and Swanage are all within an hour drive. Will definitely be coming again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, as you say there's a lot to do within an hour's drive.

Tranquil location

This was our first time here. Lovely clean and tidy site. Booked online. Pre paid the electric. Was so easy. Lovely dog walk around the horse paddock and fishing ponds. With baby ducks and geese. Lovely walk through the forest to the local pub is a must see even if you don't go to the pub have a walk round the forest. It is peaceful.

Well organised, large pitches, tidy, quiet

Very tidy and well organised. Large pitches. Nice Thai take away. Slightly opaque metered electricity without a way to check. Toilet block new but unfortunately, a bit smelly because fans aren't installed yet. Very happy overall and would visit again.
