South Downs Eco Lodge — Hotel in East Hampshire

This is a peaceful location offering a variety of accommodation, at various price points. Obviously camping is the cheapest option and they have a mid sized camping area plus a couple of Yurts which share the camp toilets (compost type) and showers. The surrounding grounds are natural and peaceful. They also have a shepards hut which is cute & comfortable (sleeps 2 in a double bed) but would not be suitable for anyone with limited mobility - then the Eco Lodge would be a far better option. The staff are friendly & helpful.|The Cafe is only open Wednesday through Sunday, which you need to take into account if staying over those 2 days. Clanfield is a couple of miles away with a cafe & a pub or two but if on foot, it could be 2 miles too far ! I believe the centre does have Take Away menus to order in. Check when booking.|All in all I would recommend for anyone who likes & thrives in the outdoors and loves a natural and peaceful life. If you want to party & live it up, its not going to be the...

Rooms were fairly simple affair but provided all we needed and we had a good night sleep.

In the morning we've met lovely Scottish lady Sarah (also responsible for the biscuits and delicious flapjacks) who made our breakfast and was generally a very good to chat with. There was a good selection of things for a continental breakfast with freshly baked pastries.

Overall, I'd recommend staying there if you are not after luxury but need a good night sleep and some...

We had a brilliant weekend camping here. The facilities were great, incredibly quiet site (no road noise) and not busy. We had a lovely private pitch surrounded by the most delicious blackberries. The best thing was the unlimited access to the woods all around the site - perfect for our small child. |We we using the site as a base to visit nearby Portsmouth historic dockyard and Buster ancient farm, both a very easy distance away. There are shops large and small fairly close by as well. |Only slight downside is that cars aren't allowed near the camp site, and it's a long way by wheelbarrow, perhaps why all the other campers appeared to be bikers or backpackers!! Worth it though for the...
