Fabulous stay at Ferry meadows, staff really accommodating, we had a great long weekend. Lovely clean site , small childrens park on the main site , bigger park on the other side that has been refurbished and is excellent. Will be back soon .
This is our second visit to this lovely site having enjoyed it so much on an eight week trip last year, we made a point of returning even though we live in Scotland. It is so peaceful and a bonus was watching seven young stoats playing just behind our pitch. It is such a lovely clean tidy site and very close to amenities. For motorhomers it could not be better and the steam train running close by is brilliant worth a trip on it into Peterborough too, very nostalgic. We will be back
We have just returned home from another visit to Ferry Meadows. We had an absolutely lovely time there. The site is spotlessly clean and the wardens are so helpful and friendly. We did have a slight problem with rain seeping under the awning in one thunderstorm and have decided that some drainage would be helpful on the side of some of the roads. As my husband is deaf and I am disabled the wardens were kindly at our beck and call for all our needs and were always asking if all was ok. We so enjoyed this Haven that we stayed a few more days and will definitely be returning before the year is out.
We really like the site and the adjacent park. Everywhere is well maintained and clean and the wardens are very friendly and helpful. Access to Peterborough by train, bus, cycle and walk is excellent.
Our only problem was drainage. Admittedly it absolutely poured with rain at times but our pitch, 112, appeared to be the lowest one in our area and surface water ran down the access roads and headed for our pitch. We were in the middle of a lake at times with water up to 3-4" deep outside the caravan door. The storeage box, we keep under the van, floated away. The water soaked away quite quickly but we were left with a lot of mud which it was difficult to keep out of the van.
I'm not sure what the solution is but some gulleys to drain water off the access roads would help. Otherwise avoid pitch 112 if heavy rain is forecast.
Previous reviews seem right in that this is a lovely clean and well equipped site. The surrounding Country Park is brimming with activities and great for us dog walkers. We had an accident at the exit barrier and were impressed with the efficiency of the response of staff who co-ordinated entry and exit for others while quickly getting us back on our way. Thank you
We have been coming to Ferrymeadows for over 30yrs, it is one of my favourite places, but this time I feel it let me down. Toilets etc very clean as always. Very good welcome from the wardens, but the site was in need of some care and attention. It looked over grown. Only saw the wardens when the bins were emptied. The wardens of old would come round and have a friendly chat especially in the evenings. They knew what was going on every where. This is missing now. Shut up shop and disappear until the morning now. I would like to see more of them. Children cycling round and round not slow either, places saved by putting a chair in the pitch ! But I still think that Ferrymeadows is my favourite place.
Spotless showers and toilets. All the staff very happy and helpful ??
Lots of lovely walks.
We had a great time.
Will return.
Thank you so much.
Keep up the great work Ferry Meadows.
What a great surprise. Just a 2 night stay en route from Yorkshire back home to Devon. Expected an urban site but couldn't have been more wrong. Lakes, walks, log sculptures and a steam train. What a lovely paradise created from an industrial wasteland and so close to a city.
Abbey loved the new play area, very safe and very enjoyable.
The site itself, was very clean, well kept and well managed.
The peace and quiet is perfect, for a great sleep.
Very recommended to all.
Once again we used Ferry Meadows as an overnight stop on our way north at the end of April and on our way south at the beginning of June. Once again we said to ourselves "next time we'll stay longer".
A very clean tidy site with good pitches, smart facilities, friendly and helpful wardens. A lovely lake with good walks nearby. A Beafeater pub a short walk away.
