Be warned!

A word of warning if intending to visit this site! During the day the site is perfect for families. However, that can't be said during the hours of darkness. Woke up at 03:30 by a group of yobs in the country park directly behind our caravan. Thought nothing too much of it at the time but woke up later on to find my carrera fury bike had gone (locked to caravan wheel) with the lock on the floor which had been cut through. Reported it to wardens who confirmed that at least 6 others had also been stolen during the night and a large number of masked youths had been seen in and around the site. Decided not to stay another night due to safety concerns but wasn't allowed a nights refund as the warden didn't have the authority to do that. He advised me to contact the club on monday . Discretion should have been used under the circumstances?. The biggest fear for me though was that masked youths can happily roam the site stealing bikes at will. What would have happen had my wife disturbed them had she wanted to visit the toilet block at the time doesn't bear thinking about and the site has a responsibility for the welfare and safety of its visitors. That was sadly lacking last night though and I for one will never visit Ferry Meadows ever again as I value the safety of my family above all else. Think very seriously before visiting this site!

Comment from the Club:

Thank you for your review. This sort of incident is an unusual occurrence at this site and for this to have happened at all, the Club is very sorry.  The site team is working in conjunction with the local Police team and will be putting further security in place for the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend.

Excellent site (apart from erratic,costly wi-fi) - we will be back

We stayed on the site for a week and it was an excellent experience. All the high qualities you would expect from a C&M site were there with very friendly and helpful wardens. And Ferry Meadows (which the site sits in) is a huges stunning lake on the River Nene with cycle and walking tracks, plenty of playgrounds for kids and restaurant and a coffee bar. You can also go sailing on the lake and boating on the Nene. There is a good walk into Peterborough (45mins) and you can get the Nene Railway back to the site. The only downside was the erratic and slow pay as you go wifi. We paid for a week @ £10 each but ended up using the data on our mobile phones as it was faster.

Happy Days

After reading such negative reviews I feel compelled to set the record straight. I have been here with my family on a seasonal pitch and I can honestly say that the site has been one of the best I have come across. Alan and his team have been exceptional and have acted fair and professional at all times. They patrol regularly and always pass the time of day in a pleasant and jovial manner, which we find very endearing. I would have no hesitation in recommending this site to anyone. I see them check the play equipment and that makes me as a parent feel reasured knowing my children are safe. The facilities are second to none and the reception area is a fun and helpful environment and the team are so approachable telling us about the local amenities. Fantastic DVD collection and I must say if your children are happy-us as parents are happy! Happy days! Happy holidays. Enjoy this beautiful and well cared for site.

Why is negative reviews of wardens being removed

Why are mine and others negative reviews of the wardens at Ferry Meadows are being removed? I’m sorry but the whole purposes of a review good or bad is just that, good or bad. You as the CAMC obviously have an issue with the wardens on this site and their poor customer service, so why are you not dealing with this issue? What the CAMC have to realise and if it’s to survive, is that the club has to move forward and adopt a more inclusive customer base. This review will be removed by the club, but before it’s removed the club needs to take a long hat look at itself as it’s an outdated dinosaur

 

Comment from the Club:

Please be assured negative comments are not removed from reviews. We only remove reviews if they contravene our community guidelines and you will see from reviews on the Club website which may well have criticisms or negative feedback, that we always try and address concerns raised rather than remove. However as mentioned we will remove reviews if they contravene our Community Guidelines. For example, some of the reasons why a review may be removed is if it is offensive to staff as we have a duty of care to our staff, could be potentially libellous, the reviewer has not stayed on the site or if the review is not actually a review i.e. such as this post. We will be removing this post in the next few days as it is not a review of the site but we wanted to advise why a review would be removed and reassure you that we always try and address concerns raised and appreciate feedback from our members. Please also note some other reviews have been removed as again they are not a review of the site but posts.

Great site great wardens

Brilliant site for families we come here many times during the season. Facilities always spotless thanks to the hard working wardens who are always there to help. Having the ferry meadows park on the doorstep means there is always something to do... we are off to the Amazon warehouse and doc martens factory outlet!

Brilliant site

We have been to this site many times and it is still as good as ever. Wardens are really friendly and although they are busy always have time to talk to you. We travel 269 miles just to stay here, the Italian ice cream van that visits most evenings is worth having as is the Chinese Takeaway that delivers to the site. Although this is a big site it does not feel it as it is in two halves and always seems quiet.The wardens keep it in a very clean and tidy way and for Motorhomers not wishing to drive , there is a Tesco express, chemist, vets and newsagents just a pleasant walk away.

Very busy but warden is tops !

We stayed for 7 nights from 3rd July and at the weekend it looked full to capacity but the warden and his team kept the site properly looked after and the toilets and showers were spotless after each clean. The warden in charge was really friendly along with his very active team. There are great walks around the lakes and along the river which make it very relaxing. It is very likely we will be back next year and the 210 mile drive each way is well worth it.

First time here, will definitely not be the last!

We stayed here for 4 nights last week for a mini-break, and were very impressed with the site. It is very well maintained, the facilities were first class and the staff friendly and helpful. We met other campers who come here regularly and we are very likely to start doing the same. Local attractions are just right for us, including places to eat. The local bus-stop is a bit hard to find from the instructions given, but we will know next time! Overall we have no hesitation in recommending Ferry Meadows to anyone considering this site.

Family visit

We use Ferry Meadows to visit family in Peterborough. It is an excellent site, with spotless facilities, and offers us a little haven to come back after visiting children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Luckily, our recent stay coincided with beautiful weather which was a bonus.
