Despite the home itself being very well equipped, it unfortunately wasn't very clean. The fridge was very dirty, with leftover food and tomato seeds all over the shelves. The toilet in the ensuite had been poorly cleaned, as well as other areas. All doors have dirty finger marks. Hairs everywhere. I had to buy some cleaning items since there were no extra cloths or cleaning spray. I was reimbursed for this by the owner. The sofa was uncomfortable and partly broken. I hadn't realised that towels were not included but luckily we had swim towels but that meant having damp towels from swimming. I was also surprised that none of the park activities were included. We had to pay £85 for the 4 of us to swim but even to go in the bar or restaurant. So essentially, it cost £40 for an hour swim as we managed to go twice, given access to the other areas doesn't give you anything, just the pleasure to order and pay them money. The mini golf was also an extra.

The home is in a really nice spot in the corner, so it felt private with its own garden space, not being overlooked. The park is on the side of the forest, so it had a big space to have a good walk. The home was very well equipped and even had a bath, which was unexpected. There was a washing machine and dishwasher. Everything you would need to cook along with tea, coffee, sugar, etc. Easy to access with the key box and Roger was very responsive. Beds were comfortable. Ample storage space and a good sized living room. Great size kitchen. Nice big balcony although sadly couldn't make much use as was raining a lot.

The location, the layout of 28 Violet, the relaxing environment, just what we needed. The bed was nice and comfy and the caravan was equipped with everything we would ever need. Lovely security for the dogs on the balcony to watch the world go by. Having breakfast on the balcony was a dream. Walks around the site and in the forest.

Nothing much that we didn't like except the smell of nicotine in caravan was a little strong to start with but the caravan on the whole was excellent

Breakfast on site was great

Sofa and chair in living area not very comfortable and could have done with some cushions for outside furniture. A bbq would have been nice to use in the side garden. But these things wouldn't put us off staying here again.

Beautiful spot in the park felt more private than some of the other homes. Had everything we needed and having the bath was great. Bed very comfortable. Gorgeous walks in the forest literally on the doorstep. Loved that it was pet friendly too. Excellent water pressure and heating. Lovely and tidy too!

Very well equipped park home. Lots of crockery and glassware and appliances. Air fryer, halogen oven as well as conventional oven and microwave. Coffee maker takes dolce gusto pods. Owner very kindly left some pods as well as tea bags, kitchen roll and a couple of dishwasher pods, cleaning cloths and washing up liquid. These little touches really make a difference Best suited for a family of 4 as the sofa bed is not luxurious and is used as the main sofa during the day. This is a home from home so don’t be surprised to find a lot of the owners nik naks around.

The settee & chair in lounge area very uncomfortable 😣

Fantastic location, very peaceful, home from home. Loved the personal touches. Had all the necessities, cleaning products, toilet roll, etc. Even dog bowls provided! ( We did bring our own)..Met the host, lovely man, super fast to respond when I had a question. We will be back ! 😊

Settee was a sofa-bed and very uncomfortable to sit on. No bath towels provided. Unpleasant smell in en suite bathroom. Cleaning regime could be better. Many of the TV channels were unwatchable due to poor signal.

Location, size of the lodge, comfortable bed, excellent shower. Good selection of kitchen utensils and full size dishwasher. Good wifi.

Lounge furniture not that comfy if people were sitting in with tv (it is great if you need extra beds)

In a quiet corner of the park with woods on 2 sides. Comfortable furniture on terrace. Great choice of ways to cook. Lovely areas to sit in the sun! Easy, direct pedestrian access to Hurn forest with lots of lovely walks

Oven took a bit of working out, no instructions so needed to ask for help. Drinking glasses (unless you like chunky beer glasses ) missing, cooking utensils limited and can open didn't work either! Premium rate paid yet no Leisure passes included (which in fairness was explained in description ) but still disappointed to find other owners did include this ! so will shop around next time.

Corner plot next to forest nice location although the park is not noisy at any time, easy walk to facilities, ie pool and shop No problem parking and everywhere spotless, nice staff on site and very helpful.

The sofa bed wasn't the most comfortable to sit on or sleep but that's the only thing as we loved our stay.

Loved the location and a lovely spot on where it's situated on the site 😀 absolutely loved our stay here .

This mobile home Violet 28 is located in a corner of the Oakdene Forest Park. From the kitchen table you look into the forrest, which is very beautiful. It is more a house than a mobile home with much more space than any hotel room I have ever had. And it has everything you need, including lovely decoration. I would definitely book it again.

The cleaning of the house wasn't 100%, there were fluff on the sofa cloth. The sofa wasn't comfortable enough sit and chill. The house was a bit stuffy and it felt like we visited someone.

the host was really attentive and responsive to anything we asked. The location of the house is the best one within the park. There is a good seating area in the balcony with a nice seating set. The room was quiet.

The cleaning could have been better but as I am fussy I always take products with me. To be fare to the cleaners, my main Complaint would have to be the clutter. Personal items on every surface. Not much storage space around to put your own items away as every cupboard draw and shelving was taken up. I know this has been mentioned previously and the owner addressed it, as home from home. But it's not, it's for holiday guests. The last issue is the steps up the the veranda. Very unsafe and feels like they will collapse at anytime

It was in a Lovely place. A nice little private garden. Everything you need in a kitchen for a good stay. The site was very clean. We had a small problem with the shower that the owner dealt with promptly. A good place to take your pet.
