When can I go back?

First, a minor negative, I was bothered some nights by the constant drone of traffic on the nearby A1. Other than that, all good. Probably the best showers I’ve encountered on a caravan site anywhere, lots of hot water and good pressure (are you watching and learning Buxton CC?) Very friendly staff, lots of help with local directions and attractions, the heritage railway passing the site was entertaining on steam days. The nearest pub, a Beefeater, is handy, but far too expensive for us, £4 a pint, £20 for an 8oz steak!!! It’s a one hour easy walk to Peterborough centre, but if you want the bus, the nearest stop is 20 minutes walk to and from the site. The walk to Alwarton is about half an hour, with a pub and a tea shop for a destination. Alwarton is also the location of East of England Showground. As you can guess, our car didn’t move while we were there. The Nene Valley Park adjacent to the site is a lovely place to walk around, several lakes, two cafes and children’s play areas

a lovely site but....

One our favourite sites with a wonderful location and good facilities. No issues with the level of cleaning in the facilities block but as for all clubsites I wish they would bring back the mop & bucket for cleaning the showers after use ,the squeegee blade is both inefficient on the dimpled tile floor and is unhygienic since there is no way of cleaning off anything which you do manage to wipe so it remains for the next user.

Lovely Site

This is our favourite site and as its only an hour away from home we come here whenever we can get a few days away. Really nice walks in the park and right on the doorstep - don't need to use the car. We have walked into Peterborough and got the train back. Also pubs and garden centre all within walking distance. The wardens are very pleasant and the toilet block is scrupulously clean. We highly recommend this site.

Favourite site!

We have been going to Ferry Meadows for over 25 years, starting on the 'old' site, so that alone should tell you what we think of the site. We love this area with so many old towns and markets to enjoy and we shall continue to come to the site until we stop caravanning-we are both close to our eight decade. The only other site that comes close, in our opinion, is the Malvern Hills site. And of course, we have discovered some very nice places to eat which features strongly in our enjoyment! Also just up the A1 is all the Second World War historical sites you may wish to visit. I am also a keen gardener having an allotment size garden and if you stop and study all the agricultural activities going on around the area and talk to the guys in the fields it can be a very interesting day out. Our grandchildren have also enjoyed the site many times and are always keen to return. So, it is probably true to say it our favourite site and we hope those to come in the future will enjoy it as much as we do. RonGlaGem

What's not to like

We stayed at this site late September early October 2015 We liked it so much that we decided to return over the Christmas period but it is fully booked Thought about giving a poor review just to discourage others so that there is more chance of a space for us next time We have both canoes and bikes and cannot fit all on the car at once Opted for the canoe this time. A small launch fee gave us access to two lakes and the river Nene Also did plenty of walking and looking forward to bringing the bikes next time Site feels like it is in a forest in the mildly of the country with mature trees and an abundance of wildlife The city is only three miles away though and to avoid any problems we took the bus. Don't do that very often So watersports within five minutes, city centre half an hour by bus, steam train withinf five minutes, marked walks from site, traffic free cycling from site, mobile chip shop on site, two golf clubs within five minutes, pubs within five minutes, cycle hire within five minutes As per the title. What's not to like Oh and the site and facilities were spotless Will we return Tried to for Christmas but fully booked Is our first choice for next summer so hopefully we will get a pitch Highly recomend this site

Great holiday

Had a fabulous time at Ferry Meadows, excellent cycling in the area all off road too, we cycled into Peterborough with ease and you can cycle or walk to your hearts content in Ferry Meadows too, beautiful.

Another perfect holiday

We have stayed at this site many times and at different times of the year. We love it here, as there are so many walks to go on, the majority have all weather paths. The wardens which are in residence now are doing an excellent job, keeping the site lovely and clean and tidy. They are all very friendly and happy. Thankyou.
