“Nice modern caravan which was clean and comfortable.”
In a sunny position backing onto the footpath that runs directly into the woods which meant a lovely daily walk to the beach with the dog. There's a gate onto the footpath beside the caravan too which is good for an early or late loo break for the dog. No doggy smell in the caravan which was great ... even though it is a dog-friendly caravan. Decking is great for sunbathing and outdoor eating ... and for the dog to sit and watch people pass by. Would be good to have had sunbed or something to lie on ... but there is a table and chairs to sit on.
Shorefields has a nice, clean pool which is never over-crowded . We haven't been there in the summer so not been able to try out the outdoor pool which is a shame .. but it's a lovely, quiet site which doesn't seem to attract the same sort of clientele that frequent Haven ... perhaps because there are less facilities ... but I suppose it all depends what type of holiday you prefer. My eldest does use the football courts whilst we're there ... and the pool, spa, restaurant, evening entertainment, etc are all good quality. There's a shop onsite which provides most of what you need too.
One of the great things about the site is that you are close to Milford On Sea which is great for crabbing at Sturt Pond ... rather than the more crowded Mudeford Quay. There's a lovely Greek restaurant there too. You can go down to Hurst Point (where there is a castle/fortress built by Henry VIII), quite a walk so you need good shoes. Or you can walk the other way towards Highcliffe Castle and Hengistbury Head ... it really is a wonderful part of the South Coast.
We love going to Shorefields ... and would love one day to be able to own a caravan there ... it feels like sanctuary.
