About this property
The Barkley
The Barkley is a comfortable and stylish mobile home on the beautiful Wilksworth Trailer Park. The park is one of several owned by award-winning Shorefield Holidays, known for its tranquil setting amidst astonishing countryside. The park boasts a number of family-friendly facilities, all of which guests have access to, including outdoor heated swimming pool (open during the summer months), BMX track, soccer field, playground, table tennis, campground store and laundromat.An enclosed sun deck with outside table and chairs surrounds the trailer, so perfect for smaller children or if you want to bring your pooch with you for long countryside walks. The large bright and airy open plan living room/dining and kitchen is a fantastic living space for your vacation. Whether you are coming together to play a board game around the table, sink into the sofas to watch the Toshiba 32 inch TV, or dine in after cooking a meal in the well-equipped kitchen, including large fridge/freezer, oven, dishwasher, kettle, microwave, toaster and coffee press - this large spacious room is designed with comfort and quality in mind.The main bedroom contains a king-size bed and attached bathroom. The second bedroom holds twin beds and there is a further family bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. All the amenities such as hairdryer, iron, ironing board, washer, and clothes drying rack and clothespins, gives this trailer a home from home feel.For convenience there is a graveled parking space right next to the camper for one car and any other vehicles can be left in the main parking lot by reception. There is also an EV charger by reception. There is no router in the camper, however guests can enjoy the park's WiFi at no extra cost.The Barkley is perfectly situated, with a short drive to Wimborne Minster. Explore this ancient market town, which is packed with character and stop by one of the many cafes, restaurants and independent shops. Also, a short drive away is Poole Harbor, where guests can book a boat trip to Brownsea Island, a captivating destination managed by the National Trust or venture into The New Forest to spot free-roaming ponies and walk in the woodlands. There's plenty to explore and discover for all ages in the surrounding area and further afield, and two dogs are welcome at this property.Due to site regulations, marked commercial vans are not permitted on the premises. The owner's site license only allows for leisure guests, so the property cannot accommodate work-related stays or business vehicles.Please contact Finest Retreats for more information.
