6 nights at Ferry Meadows

We arrived at Ferry Meadows on Thursday afternoon. Booked in and decided to stay on the annexed site as it had more grass pitches which we proffer. The site was lovely and quiet and we had one bay of around 20 pitches to ourselves. Within 24 hours the place was heaving. Unbelievable for mid October. We had a great time with the dogs. Lots of walking. The only point I would like to make is that the toilet blocks need a lot of work. 2/3 of the cubicles appear to be out of use and those that were available were dated and in need of work. A combination of old age and vandalism. We will definitely be going back in the new year. The wardens were great. Some of the best we've encountered.

Noisy, no lay in!!!

Fantastic Site, been coming here for years when children were young. Reception staff and warden were lovely. My only complaint is being worken both Saturday and Sunday morning by lot of different wardens riding round the site on their little trucks at 7.30am!!!! leaf blower at about 8am and constant comings and goings including a motor home setting up right next to us at 9am. Could not believe it, so disappointed.

Lawnmower Rally

Ferry Meadows is perfect for breaking up a journey from the South to North Yorkshire. However....... from the minute you arrive to the minute you depart, there is the constant drone of lawnmowers being driven around all day. We were at the site for only one night, and as soon as we got on the pitch, 2 ride on lawnmowers rumbled past. This practice starts at 08.30 and continues through until 21.30. The wardens have the bonus of ear protection for these machines, but for the residents it is not the case. One last observation is that the speed limit on this site seems to be 50mph and not 5mph. On a final note, best to end on a positive, the wardens are extremely helpful, and the site well kept. But then it should be with the amount of lawnmowers activity for 13 hours a day.

Autumn break

Stayed for 8 nights from 8 October. Incredible weather for the time of year. Wardens exceptionally friendly and helpful. Well stocked shop and still able to get fish and chips twice a week. Beautiful walks and train running once a week to Peterborough. Very relaxing site as well as not being too far from many attractions. On the downside we couldn't get the booster on the EHU bollard to work. Tried several but none would lock in. Used our own Aerial on the caravan but signal broke down regularly, so very little TV but not such a bad thing. Oundle is well worth a visit and surprisingly busy. Whittlesey is also worth seeing, so many side streets to explore.

Friendly Site

This is the third time we have visited this site. The previous twice were a long time ago. We were not disappointed. From the first foot we stepped in the door of the reception to our time of leaving we were very impressed. The reception lady was lovely. Very friendly and helpful, and ready to chat. The warden was a cheery fellow and they made a good team. The site was clean and the service areas were regularly attended to. The security arrangements were ideal and a must in this day and age. The location of the site with the walks and cycle tracks straight from the site makes it a must for young and old alike. The walk to the lake for morning coffee on the jetty was a real bonus. Hopefully, we'll return again soon.

Brilliant site!

Just returned from our first stay at Ferry Meadows, a brilliant site run by a hard-working cheerful team of wardens who will go out of their way to help with any problems. Thank you! The whole busy site and shower block are kept very clean and tidy. The location is perfect with a only a short walk into beautiful Nene Park with mile upon mile of pathways to explore by foot or bike. Took some lovely walks round the lakes and across the meadows where Lucy, our Bedlington terrier enjoyed hours of fun running off lead. We will definitely return to Ferry Meadows!

Well done to the wardens

Having just returned from a 6 night break at this site I thought I would just give the site wardens a big pat on the back. It was a most enjoyable stay at the site, the site was clean, the toilet block was very clean and the wardens were first class, helpful and friendly. During our stay a number of 'travellers' turned up and made camp a short distance away from the site, I believe they attempted to access the site but were promptly turned away, the local police also attended the area as a result. It was reassuring that the wardens on site were prompt with security at the site and closed the access gates and remained at the gates at all times to prevent the travellers from entering the site. Even though the wardens normal daily work routine was disrupted they still remained cheerful and continued to provide a great service and even visited every occupied pitch and offered advice. Again a big thank you for an enjoyable stay.
