Second visit, and not disappointed, will definitely return. Lots to do, and lots included in the price, especially for kids. Some of the additional activities are a touch expensive, as is the on-site shop, but the lodges are great.

This is a lovely place for a family break, with plenty to do if you want to stay in the resort. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. We stayed in a Zen with a hot tub and it was probably a bit tight for 7 of us, especially at night, but very nice. The only negative feedback is the lack of wifi which I know many people mention. All in all, I would recommend a stay.

A lovely family friendly site with great facilities. The lodge was a great size, very clean and well equipped. Only downside was the Retreat restaurant, the food was awful!

Sandy balls caravan park

The caravan park was lovely situated in the new forest couldn't fault the staff, but sometimes they didn't know what was going on. All in all a great stay and would definitely return.

The aminities were satisfactory, the place was very clean inside, The main bed mattress was lumpy, causing backache, Safety wise, the bath requires bath mats as its very slippery making it difficult / dangerous for unsteady people or children getting in /out of bath / Shower. Nice touches with dog gifts and welcome gifts.

There was plenty of room well equipped but seemed like was an old cabin. When it rained at night kept us up as so loud. Didn’t have much of a view only trees. The sofa I found had fleas from the last dog but only found that out when I slept on it and woke up with bites on my legs and neck on the last day.

A stay with a few highs but sadly many lows. The positive - Convenient location, we used as a base to visit family in Southampton and Bournemouth as its equidistant from both locations. Its lovely to see the wild animals as you drive up to the location through the new forest The pool is a good size, although it is very cold (indoor pool is cold, didn't even risk the outside one) but the small child/baby pools are warm There is quite a bit to do on site, soft play was tired and a bit small but nice none the less, the arcade is a good size, the shop is very nice with reasonable prices, there are two restaurants and these were nice. The negatives WI-FI - despite having a router in the accommodation when the wifi didn't work I called the reception to be told they don't guarantee wifi to the accommodation only in common areas. The issue with the wifi wasn't a signal issue which I could somewhat understand, but an error on the side of the company providing the service not supplying an IP address to that router. The lady I spoke to at the reception was incredibly unhelpful, I had to push for them to contact the company and miraculously it was fixed very soon after that. As mentioned earlier the pool was very cold, the jacuzzi was also freezing, even colder than the main pool! We were in a touch of blue lodge, which is one of their 'nicer' accommodation options but it was very tired, it had clearly been made 'nice' then just left with limited maintenance or upkeep.

Sandy balls is a beautiful place to stay, our caravan was excellent and situated in amongst tall trees. There are lots of lovely walks in and around Sandy balls so we didn’t have to use the car. Lots of birds, deer, ponies and alpacas. We love Sandy balls, great place to come and recharge. I would highly recommend it.

For the cost of the property, it was really really disappointing. We saved for this and it was our only holiday all summer but most classes were booked or not suitable. The indoor pool was closed for two days (out of four of our stay). The softplay is tiny and the website is deceiving. There is not airflow in the soft play so on hot days it is unbearable and it was one of the only activities for under 2. The floor was dirty in our accommodation. I was wiping up water and it was filthy. No wifi in the lodges, the beds were so uncomfortable we decided to leave a night early. The food for kids menu was not appropriate all very unhealthy so we made sure that we had groceries. The location is perfect for New Forest adventures but for the cost of this place, they need serious upgrades. Get AC for heatwaves or fans and dear God get new mattresses.... everything costs extra.. like if you need a highchair (we brought ours) and our place didn't come with towels and with the cost of the place that really shouldn't happen. IT wouldn't have been baby friendly in colder weather (radiators uncovered, etc).
