As a return visitor we stayed in the newly upgraded premium lodge (311) which was lovely, very comfortable and generally very clean (window cill/frame behind the curtain a little grubby!- but I am nit picking a little here).This plot did not have the best view on site but lovely all the same, lots of trees and the sunsets were gorgeous....

Stayed in an Oak Lodge (no.6) for the long weekend 10-13th May and really want to go back! We arrived early and the greeting staff checked us in no problem and gave us a map and said we could use the pool etc, after reading the reviews I was worried about the pool but I didn't think it was all...

Sandyballs is right in the new forest and close to lots of nice places for days out. Bike hire at sandyballs was good lots of lovely scenery and plenty of ponies, cows, sheep to see. I would highly... More

This could be a wonderful place to stay but sadly our caravan was as described by others on this site, broken and chipped table, curtains hanging off their rails, dirty bed linen, filthy wardrobes that I had to clean before putting our clothes in! Grubby floors, dirty, cob-webbed shower, a BBQ that is unusable and so the list goes on.........thankfully... More

We just came back from a three night bank holiday stay with our three children (aged between 5-7). We took our own bikes and caravan. The facilities were really good, everything was clean and pleasant. The children loved cycling around and there are lots of fab adventure play parks, soft play and just brill for the little ones. Kids entertainment/activities... More

Our lodge was secluded which was nice. Swimming pool facilities good. Certain restaurants only open on certain days which was annoying. Shop was inadequately stocked. We rented a bicycle for my son, staff at cycle shop were very friendly and helpful.

We stayed at Sandy Balls in March and had a lovely time. We were a bit worried about some of the reviews on here but I think people must have some weird ideas of what to expect. It's a lovely resort in a beautiful part of the country. We stayed in a Hazel Lodge for 2 of us. It was... More
