Violet 28 Oakdene Forest Park

Best location throughout the park

Excellent place to relax. Had Wi-Fi uninterrupted 10/10. Could pay more attention to cleaning the place. Especially after people who stayed with their pets.

The lodge was very nice indeed... homely and cosy It had everything we needed and more and it suited the six of us perfectly. Loved the location too... right next to the forest, and with the private bit of garden for the grandkids and dog to play on, everyone was catered for. The lodge is just a short walk to Reception for park passes (if you want to use the facilities) and there are some lovely walks to be had in the nearby Hurn Forest. Overall the site is very well kept... nice on the eye and clean and tidy. It is definitely a great place to bring the family. There are lots of places off site to visit depending on how far you want to travel. Seeing the New Forest ponies at Beaulieu was an absolute bonus for us... they're so beautiful! All in all a wonderful stay and would highly recommend a visit to Violet 28 at Oakdene Forest Park.

Park passes are quite expensive and some of the staff could do with extra training on giving good customer service. Food not all that either... might be better to find a nice restaurant off site or cook your own which we mostly did as the Lodge had all the appliances needed. Apart from that all was great! 👍

Fabulous position. Very quiet and peaceful right next to forest.

Nothing, all was great

The location was really good quite loved the woods squirrels around us varrander outside area was great. Great communication from the owner and also provided us with cot and high chair for our stay for our 17 month old

Cleaness of the property was not great poo around toilet cobwebs in main bedroom floor under chair crumbs under neath also could smell dog had to go out get cleaning products and clean property I think less personal belongings would be good less clutter also had no where to put our stuff food etc in kitchen cupboards

The location is ideal for visiting the New Forest, Poole and Bournemouth. The caravan is in a quiet spot on the site and you can do forest walls direct from the park. Ideal location to take bikes. Local amenities are good with several supermarkets within a couple of miles, Starbucks up the road and some pubs within easy reach

The caravan wasn’t quite as clean as the last time we visited. There seemed to be quite a bit of pet hair on the cushions. Shorefield, owners of the campsite charge a ridiculous amount of money for day passes (£13 approx for an adult) to use the facilities so we didn’t use them. We were unable to pay to just use the pool.

The location was stunning, the beds were comfortable and the WI-FI was very good. Very dog friendly and the side entrance was perfect.

Lack of towels, appliances complicated to work and the sofa was uncomfortable.

Nothing

Arrived to find 2 dirty toilets - Dirty bedding Dirty toaster , Dirty cutlery draw , sticky door handles. Tried to get a refund - never given as I didn’t stay there I left the property.

Good location quiet park

Sofa & chair very uncomfortable. Mattress on main bed too soft, gave us both back ache.

The area we're the caravan was so nice watching the wildlife

We didn't know we had to buy park passes to use the facilities and the sofa bed was a let done due to it not been comfortable at all but other than that the van was excellent and we will definitely be booking again

The balcony verander outside

Not able to use park facilities club house or pool without paying extra
