Lovely accommodation
We had a lovely time at your lodge - thank you. We were very lucky with the hot September weather and the lodge was the perfect location to spend our time out of the sun. The lodge was well equipped with everything we needed (including fans) and was actually more spacious than it appeared on the photos. We would very much like to stay again when we are in the area. Many thanks.

We had a wonderful time. A little disappointed when we first arrived as the outside of the chalet was covered in webs and tree debris as the chalet is next to a lot of trees. However the chalet inside was very clean and fresh snd presented beautifully with everything you could possibly need although the two twin rooms are quite dark. . Great location and site facilities were excellent. We had glorious weather and were able to enjoy all the area had to offer beaches and quaint towns and villages and very dog friendly would recommend. As a suggestion a brush and mop down of the outside would give a better first impression although I appreciate it is difficult due to the position of the chalet . We set to and gave the outside a good clean which made a great difference. Would book again.

Very dark dirty lodge, no natural daylight.
Other reviewers had mentioned cleanliness of the lodge. There were cobwebs over the sink, not too bad, however there was food particles on the front of the cupboard doors and on the walls. Many of the plates and cups were filthy. I put all the items we were to use in the dishwasher prior to use. I checked the metal filter in the dishwasher and there was half an inch of filthy food and fat debris, I washed this under running hot water after removing the bulk of the debris, with kitchen roll. Whilst the lodge is well stocked with items, the cupboards and draws are dirty. The ornaments left in the bathrooms haven’t seen a duster for a long time. One of the bedrooms had a dirty sock behind the bed, I left this for the cleaners to find or not as the case maybe. After the bad reviews about cleanliness I felt sure the owner would have visited and arranged a deep clean, needless to say we were disappointed. The decking outside is very bouncy in places and the furniture whilst under trees had certainly not been cleaned prior to our arrival. We would definitely go to this site again, just not this lodge.

Thank you for your review and taking time to comment we have contacted the cleaners and asked them to look into this. A deep clean was conducted in April we had new carpets put down in Feb. It may have been nice for you to message me at the time of arrival to inform me of this and I would have asked the cleaner to pop in and solve this for you instead you log it here a month later and never once mention this. We like many other owners on site do not stay near however our cleaner is in the next town along. As for the decking I have now reported this to shorefield who will sort the issue out again without being informed it is difficult to solve a problem you are unaware of.

Lovely holiday pity about the electrics and extras.
On arrival there was no electricity. Maintenance did temporary repair for evening sorted the next day. Toaster kept tripping the power so we abandoned it and used grill. Shower head in main bathroom was broken so no spray just waterfall. We coped. The heating did not work no settings. Had to use portable heaters. Instead. A dead fox near the decking so children were unable to use garden. Told reception they promised to remove but even after 5 days still there when we departed. Would suggest extra bedding be provided if needed ie blankets etc. plus a handrail other side of steps. We still managed to enjoy the week in spite of difficulties. Malcolm Harris

Lovely comfortable well equipped lodge in a very quiet area of Shorefield Park but within walking distance of the facilities. Plenty of space for a group of 5 people and 2 dogs. Parking space for 2 cars. We enjoyed the walk to the beach as well as trips into the New Forest. Staff on site were friendly and quick to resolve a power supply issue we had following a thunderstorm. Communication with the owner was easy, friendly and efficient. The decking area was quite slippery, so you do need to be quite careful. We had a lovely holiday and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Many thanks.

Not as advertised
I’m sorry to say that this property did not live up to our expectations, the description did not mention the lodge was very close to a main away road therefore there was a constant noise of passing traffic. The lodge was in a very shaded area so there was very little light leaving it feeling very cold and dark. The outside area was dirty the decking had not been swept and the outside furniture had to be cleaned before we could use it. As for the inside it needed completely updating , and a VERY deep clean, there were cobwebs covering the main bedroom window so obviously it had not been opened to air the room out from the last occupants ( covid ). The kitchen had not had a deep clean , food still on the hanging serving spoon, oven dirty, kettle not clean , I was unable to use the dishwasher because it felt unclean due to tea and food stains on the door ledge . In the bedroom I found on leaving that the bed had not got a mattress protector on it , just a sheet. The pillows were old and shapeless . Over all it just felt unclean. No BBQ , it was supposed to have been replaced in June .

Many thanks for your feedback, although we were disappointed to read that you stay did not meet expectations. Following your comments left in the guest book on site, we had provided your feedback to our cleaner (who has alway maintained exceptional standards). Nevertheless as a precautionary measure the lodge has been deep cleaned thoughtout. Pillows and bedding had been recently refreshed for this season so I am surprised to learn that you had found them to have deteriorated as described, I will investigate this further. Apologies about the absence of the BBQ, it had been replaced only recently, but damaged by guests over the summer and only recently disposed of at the end of August. Given the winter season we did not anticipate it would be used, and intended to replace again in readiness for the next summer season. Regarding comments of location, the 'busy' road is actually a country lane with the odd passing car, separated from the lodge by some land. Quite different to your reported experience of constant traffic noise? (For the benefit of other future guests, please feel free to check this out on Google maps). In terms of the location the site benefits from being rural, and yes does have some trees nearby along one side. Other 3 aspect are open. Perhaps a more urban location would have suited your requirements better? We always welcome, feedback and constantly ensure any genuine issues are promptly attended to. I would encourage guest to read the feedback comments from our other recent guests to get a more accurate and balanced view of the property.

Great cycling holiday
Very comfortable accommodation. Isolated rear decking at rear surrounded by trees and bushes. Enjoyed relaxing with a drink after cycling or exploring. Good WiFi and plenty of TV choice. Needed all the fans on the hottest week of the year. Good club / bar/ shop on site. Great pubs / restaurants in any direction. Toaster was annoying as it tripped electric’s whenever used despite no other appliances on. Good accommodation for couples or small families.

Perfect Lodge getaway
The lodge is spacious and very well equipped with everything you could want. Although the park is large the lodges are well spaced out and this lodge is in a peaceful, secluded corner right at the edge of the park with nothing behind it. None of the nearby lodges appeared to be occupied when we were there which was perfect for us as we had our dog with us. We would definitely consider booking again in future.

Stylish & well equipped cabin, lovely site.
All as described, quite welcoming, nice touches. We could have done with mattress toppers to soften the other twin beds - I had one on mine and was fine. There was a leak under sink which was seen too, very soon after reporting. If I was picky I would loved to have seen the cobwebs on cabin and tree droppings on veranda brushed off but equipment was there for us to do the veranda. I would go again though.

Lovely lodge
Corner lodge is excellant value for money. Only one neighbour on one side. Two parking spaces-we have a 9 seater. Clean enough for children but not too luxury that we worried about having kids in it. Hot showers and two bathrooms. We even cooked one night. Lodge very dog friendly-every lodge had a dog in our area and a green space down side of lodge and behind. Perfect for early morning dog demands. Site was 5 min walk and brilliant for families. We felt very safe with the kids and entertainment was family friendly.

Spacious timber lodge
The lodge was very spacious and comfortable. Appreciated Christmas decorations. Owners items in wardrobes/drawers/cupboards which should be locked away from guests. The property unfortunately needed a deep clean - cobwebs everywhere, grubby kitchenware, guests food left in cupboards, dirty shower heads/hair in shower drain. Toilet brush/holder disgusting, TV not working properly, oven dirty, kettle needs descaling. No welcome sealed tea/coffee but other guests old food items left in cupboards!!! Very disappointed in overall cleanliness.

Hello I'm sorry you felt that the cleanliness of the lodge did not meet your expectations. We did report this to our cleaner at the time who was extremely surprised and concerned, so much so she attempted to pop in so any issues could be resolved. Unfortunately you were not available. Having used a few different cleaners in the past we have found our current cleaner to maintain a very good, consistent high standard, which has generally been appreciated and reflected in other guests comments. Of course we appreciate your feedback too, although we did find it a little unexpected, we will of course be keeping an eye to ensure excellent standards continue to be met.

Good place to stay
Lodge had great position on site. Quiet and secluded. Although site was full it was well kept and peaceful. Didn’t use any of site facilities so can’t comment. Lodge was bigger than expected, well equipped and everything we used worked well . Comfy beds and nice hot showers. Minus points. Although surfaced cleaned it could do with a really good deep clean. The fence around the decking has wide gaps in slats so small- mid size dogs can get out. All in all a great stay and weather was brilliant.

Ideal family location
This was our first time staying at Shorefield and have to say we were very impressed with all the facilities. The lodge is down such a peaceful lane on the park we even had wild bunnies hopping past the kitchen window. The lodge is very sheltered by trees, which was ideal as our boy didn’t get woken up early by the sun and it kept nice and cool. And the pictures do not do the lodge justice, it is far more spacious than they suggest. We would certainly book this again if holidaying in the New Forest.
