Access Statement
|
We visited South Lytchett with two tents, no hookup and were pitched at the edge of the field, overlooking a private field which was excellent. The experience with everyone who works at the site has been pleasant from the first phone call to the end, with everyone being really friendly and helpful.
The facilities were clean and interesting, as promised, with piped music and better decoration than most sites. At the height of season, with a fully booked site there are always going to be queues at peak periods for the showers and washing up, so it doesn't make commercial sense to add more, but it would be nice -(:0) Being close to Poole, a lot is available but because we've been spoiled by Ashurst it seemed more hard work to keep 4 kids amused each day. The play facilities on site aren't up to much. The shop is excellent and not overpriced. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to try the cafe or take up the special offer of a free bottle of wine at the local pub. Overall, a very pleasant visit. |
