We had 3 fabulous nights at this site and we will be back. The new toilet/shower block is lovely and clean. The showers were nice and hot and there was a hairdryer in the ladies toilets. There is also a family wet room. The shop is not too badly stocked for essentials and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. We did not have electric hookup so unable to comment on how that worked/lasted. Fordingbridge is a lovely little town.

We had an amazing time. So peaceful and relaxing, nature at its best. The site was clean, the grass cut, and the garden tendered. We couldn't fault this site. On our first night, we had a problem with our hook up lead, I contacted the wardens out of hours and they were amazing. They let us borrow a lead until we could purchase a new one the next day. If we had anything negative to say, would be the lack of goods on offer at the shop, maybe more in peak season? Definitely be back. Many thanks, Hill cottage. G&C Wilson.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your great review, it's always lovely to hear that the team's efforts are appreciated. We do stock a bit more in the shop when we're busier and there's a Co-op in the village which is only 15 minutes walk. See you soon!

Excellent site. The pitches were nicely spaced out, with hedges between. Toilets and showers were very clean. We didn't use any electricity so didn't pay, but understand you can just put £2 on to start with if you're not sure how much you'll use. Moor Valley Park is a fab visit and not too far. Great location and great site.

The first campervan we rented broke down, then the second; the third got us there a day late. Hill Cottage Farm were very understanding and helpful about our troubles about having to constantly log new number plates on the ANPR system; and when we got there, the rest of the week was wonderful. I would recommend Hill Cottage Farm to anyone, and hope we can stay there again, soon.

We stayed 2 nights, the first night we were woken up by shouting and screaming from a nearby caravan. We felt the small retail shop was also poorly stocked with no coffee 😞 Clean facilities and hot showers.
Site's response
We switched the coffee machine on at the start of the season and sadly it has malfunctioned, we have the engineer booked to come and sort it this week. We can only apologise that we didn't test it sooner. Unfortunately we had some very badly behaved guests your first night. It is very unusual for us and our staff were equally unhappy with a very disturbed night, during which they visited the guests several times to ask them to be quiet. The rowdy guests were not allowed to stay and left the following day. We are very conscious of keeping a peaceful site and this was an unfortunate one off.

A nice, smaller scale camping site on the edge of the New Forest area. Fordingbridge is a short drive away and there are nice towns and villages around to spend time. We stayed on possibly the wettest Monday in March ever on record. It was so bad that we spent 23 out of 24 hours on one day inside the camper. There appears to be nice walking tracks close to the site but we could not access them due to the wet conditions. Staff at the site are very helpful.

Glad we stayed here. We liked it for being in a good location, ample areas for walking our dog, good size pitch and secluded hedges. The site was well kept, tidy and clean and the staff couldn't be more friendly. Will be back as we want to try the Thai takeaway and venture further.

Had a peaceful 4 day stay on a fully serviced pitch, unfortunately, we were there the same 4 nights as Storm Babet. We were on pitch no 10 and the water seemed to stream down to our pitch, but it soon drained away. The Thai restaurant was a nice treat, we would definitely stay there again when the weather is better.

I loved how private all the pitches were. The only thing I can think of to be picky about is perhaps the light could stay on a tad longer when washing up - I would've looked peculiar waggling my leg behind me to get the light back on every couple of minutes whilst washing up in the dark! But that's about it, and it's hardly a trial. We will definitely rebook as it's so handy for New Forest walks there.

Thanks for your lovely review Jen, and thanks for highlighting the lighting issue, I'll get it checked. Hope to see you again soon.

This mature site with well established tall hedges between the caravan pitches is lovely for added privacy. The pitches are large and the hardstanding is plenty big enough for a caravan, awning and car. We loved the dog walk and the convenient local pub, as well as the on-site Thai takeaway (when they say spicy they mean spicy!) - lovely authentic tasting food. The bathroom block was lovely and clean and the on-site shop really convenient for essentials, with friendly and helpful staff. Loved our stay and we will definitely be back again.

Can't rate this little gem of a site enough. Fantastic, very well kept little place with really smart, lovely facilities. Respectful quiet times, unlike other recent sites I've been to, and beautiful walks at bottom of the grass pitch. Site behind nice, simple little park for little ones, fishing lakes to the right and a village walk to the left. Gorgeous scenery on walks, if you appreciate the countryside, and the staff were honestly friendly. I've been to many sites over the years but I really took to Hill Cottage Farm as it's got a lovely, peaceful vibe to the place. I will 110% be returning as much as I can in the future :-)

Lovely campsite, the cleanest one I've stayed in by far. The toilets and showers were cleaner than most swimming pool changing rooms, which I was very impressed with, considering it was quite wet and muddy weather. I stayed on my own but felt very safe, I liked the number plate recognition barriers for added security and the staff were very easy to get hold of when I needed to ask questions. The dog walk was lovely, a nice way to stretch the legs in the morning and say 'hi' to the horses. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.

This is a beautiful place. Surrounded by lovely countryside. The walk through the woods to the local pub and shops was great! Very peaceful and quiet. Lovely takeaway on site. Local taxi service to another pub was handy. Having a separate car would have been better for us as we came in our motorhome, but we did enjoy the rest. Very clean toilets showers and facilities - the site is excellently maintained. Would highly recommend.

We love staying here and come back to it a couple of times a year. The pitches are large, well laid out and most are flat. The facilities are clean and have always been in good working order. The Thai takeaway on site does great food too. This time we stayed on a hard standing with grass pitch. Unfortunately we couldn't get our pegs into the ground as it was just too hard. Even our hard ground pegs weren't able to get through the hardcore so we had no choice but to set up our awning on the grass, which is not allowed. We didn't put the floor down to try to limit any damage to the grass. Only adding this to the review so if any other campervan users book a grass only pitch and don't get caught out like we did. We felt so bad. That being said, when the site team walked around the next day nobody asked us to move it so we relaxed and guessed they didn't mind. A great place, would recommend a stay here. Great walks from the site. Blashford lakes just 10 minutes away (drive) and close to lots of great places to visit.

We had a lovely stay at this campsite. The facilities are very good and everything was kept nice and clean. The downside was that on very hot days there was no shade on our pitch, which made it too hot to spend time onsite. Our 3 year old loved the play park.
