Cracking 3 weeks
This was our second visit to Ferry Meadows and we weren’t disappointed.
We had a lovely pitch on the “quieter side” and most days took our bikes into the park and surrounding areas, there are multiple paths suitable for all ages and abilities.
Our daughter stayed for 2 nights and used the new cycle hire scheme being trialled at a few sites, she found it fairly easy to use and it was great that she could join us on our bike rides.
During the second week we were joined by our grandaughter aged 6 so we took a trip to the Lido, it’s heated and you are welcome to take chairs and a picnic. There is a car park next to it so easy to access.
The Granary Beefeater pub is a few mins walk, the food though typical pub grub was very good.
I only have 3 complaints, the first is the Ice cream van, why oh why is he allowed to visit the site at all during these times and again why so late!
The second, recycling, I do this religiously at home, and felt upset having to put everything into one bin.
Thirdly, visitors, we arranged to meet friends at the local pub or in the park but 2 Caravans near us thought it ok to celebrate a birthday with ALL the family, totalling 15 to 20 people.
When I spoke to the wardens I was told they had paid for 3 extra to stay!! Perhaps this is the way to deflect attention when visitors arrive.
All in all we had a lovely time, the weather eventually, was great, the wardens as usual were friendly and we’ve booked for next year.
