    We have stayed in a lot of caravans, this is by far the best one,the caravan is situated in the most beautiful setting,the forest behind is stunning,the amount of birds in the trees is incredible,it's so quiet but near amenities,the caravan is spacious and clean,there is so much to do around the area,the owner is so helpful,I stayed here with my family of four and inlaw,I can't recommend this place enough,we are definitely going back

    The caravan was absolutely lovely and had all of the equipment we needed. The beds were also really comfortable and was in a perfect location, it was quite far away from the amenities but I preferred this as we were away from the noise. Our host was also great as she sent all of the information to us really quickly and was very quick with responses.

    The caravan is in a quiet cul-de-sac of the main park, it is well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a self-catering stay. It was just the right size for a family of four. We managed to pick an extra cold weekend but the heating kept us all warm and toasty. The beds were super comfy and we all enjoyed a good night's sleep. The park location is ideally situated for everything we wanted to do. The host was informative and gave detailed instructions on how to access the park/caravan. Well worth the price for our budget.

    Modern tv, probably too modern for us, not able to get any terrestrial channels,and only bbc 1 on internet. Kept asking for passwords etc,and always reverted to “Together tv”! We didn’t bother the owner about it,I’m sure she would have soon sorted it, we were out and about most of the time anyway,so not a big issue.

    Nice setting ,not overlooked at all, and parking right in front ,which was perfect for us. Good Wi-Fi, Well situated for visits to Swanage,Poole,Bournemouth,Christchurch,Lymington ,New Forested etc. Plenty of restaurants etc ,would recommend The Sandpiper,Christchurch,The Red Lion,Poole. for best value. Would stay here again.

    Comfortable and spacious with all facilities I needed for a business trip. Well supplied with kitchen utensils, and strong WiFi.

    This is nothing against Katherine at all or the standard of the caravan. This big moan is about booking.com and oakdene. I have put a large review on trip advisor and Google about oakdene. In a nutshell if you book on booking.com or any other site except oakdene you do not receive any park passes. I'm not sure if other websites mention about it but booking.com didn't. So whilst the park has a bar, restaurant, pool, sauna, gym, arcade machines etc, none of these are available to use unless you have a park pass. You can use the shop and that is it. You have to pay to get a pass so in effect if you are an adult you are paying £11 per day to just go to the bar or restaurant and pool. If you just want a drink one night it's £11 for the pass then the expensive drinks on top. I can understand having to pay to use the pool, or gym or activities. However to pay that to pay more money to complex to have a drink or meal is ridiculous. They try to fob it off on the caravan owners. So beware. If you are not bothered about using the pool or having a meal on site or a drink then great. As above, the caravan has no faults.

    The caravan was superb. I cannot fault the caravan whatsoever or Katherine as she text me whilst she was on holiday in Italy about the curtain rail. The caravan was beautiful inside, clean, great en suite in bedroom and good location

    This is not the owner’s fault, but dogs were barking loudly at night and disturbed our sleep. This is probably to be expected in caravans because the walls are thin. We also had difficulty finding the park at first because the address took us to the wrong place. After our stay, we tried to tidy up as best as we could, although we didn’t vacuum, but the owner said we left it in a messy state. Of course, we will pay the additional charges because we are not confrontational. However, the owner should consider charging more for cleaning in the rental price to avoid having to write messages about cleanliness issues afterward, as this might discourage guests from visiting again.

    Caravan have 2 toilets, it was great. Nice outside sofa with coffee table. I liked that it was close to the sea and near Peppa Pig World. We also enjoyed the pools and sauna, and we had a great time there
