Throughout our stay Heather was an absolutely amazing. Nothing was ever a problem, she was knowledgeable, informative and gave perfect customer service. She is a credit... More

The bar lady is common she is in charge of the bar area and is awfully loud. My husband and I came for dinner but could not get her attention as she was to busy chatting away with her friends on the other side. We stayed for just a drink and in that time she had left the bar unattended... More

Me and the little lady stayed here in Aug 2010. We camped in the bottom field and really enjoyed it overall. The negatives were: Overpriced - Considering the average facilities. Average shower facilities - Not horrible, but not great. No local pub in walking distance. Positives were: Camp-fires- Wherever you want one, BIG positive, nice to be treated like an... More

This in the 2nd time I've visited the log cabins at Herston Leisure. They're absolutely wonderful, really clean, great facilities and the hot tubs are such a treat. The hot tubs are serviced daily which is peace of mind. All the utensils etc are of great quality, I really can't recommend this place more! More

Just had a very relaxing weekend in Swanage at the Herston Camp Site. Always nice to get away but this weekend really helped us de-stress. Weather was cold but sun was out (for a short time at least). Site was quiet but that was a bonus for us, and the bar was open all the hours we required. Staff couldn't... More
