2 night stay on the way to friends

We stayed here for 2 nights on the drive from Northumberland to Kent. Lovely site, Easy to find, good roads, clean facilities and great staff. A long way from where we live but we are definitely considering a visit next year for longer

We visit often but this is the first time using the east site.

Our six year old and three year old granddaughters live nearby so this is a convenient site for us to come and spend time with them. Previously we've always used the west site which is open all year with its mostly hard standing pitches. (We have been there in the snow!) but this time we used the east site and what a pleasant surprise. It seems bigger with a few hard standings but many more spacious grass pitches scattered among the trees. There seems to be more room and plenty of open grassy space for bike riding practice and tree climbing. The play area is larger and more challenging too. Ferry Meadows country park is right next door as is the Nene Valley Heritage Railway with its steam and diesel trains. You can cycle right into Peterborough city centre with its cathedral along one of the many cycle tracks. The East site is usually closed for winter but we'll be using it again when it re-opens. In the meantime we'll be quite happy to use the West site, both have the usual Caravan Club immaculately clean and well organised facilities.

Revisit

A very swift visit, we use it often as our son lives quite close, just one night. Usual high standard all around. Great location for strolls etc in the country park and steam trains.

September Excursion to Ferry Meadows

Ferry Meadows, a large site on both sides of the road and even outside of School holiday dates was heaving with caravans. Arriving on Saturday proved hard to find a pitch, skill is clearly to take the first one you see as by the time you get back to it, it will be gone...but arriving on Sunday or during the week had a bit more choice. Very clean site and in a great location, the Country park is a 5 minutes walk away. Highlight, sad I know, was the Ice Cream van that visits the site in the evening. Disappointed now when I go other sites and they don't have one ! Very peaceful site despite its size and we were there during the Caravanner of the Year award..ssh can't talk about it...but the hog roast was superb. TV if you want to watch it was sometimes very good and oddly sometimes patchy even using the hook up on the power tower. Steam trains run along the back of the site and run into Peterborough if they are running. Expensive way to travel into town but its a tick on the list ... Would certainly go back.

really lovely site

We stayed here last weekend and absolutely loved the site. The location is perfect for either a quiet time or there is plenty to do around the area. The country park is lovely and such a bonus being located right beside the site We will definitely be back with the grandchildren

Great Time

We visited this site earlier this month and had a great time. We have been before and as usual the site was kept very well with friendly wardens. It is a lovely place in a great setting. With the country park next door it is good for all for walking, cycling, those on mobility scooters etc. There are cafes in the park and plenty for children to do. We will certainly be back.

Something for everyone

The third visit for us, and as before a lovely site. We love the space around us, all the facilities are clean the wardens very helpful, we just love the walks around the Nene Park, our Dog loves the freedom of the park to, so much to do for everyone, even a agility area for dogs. The little café serves lovely food and the best Mocca l have ever had, also a gift shop that has some every unusual gifts. The Nene railway on the doorstep, running a few days each week. If you haven't been its well worth a visit, take advantage of the mid-week reductions. If you love nature you will love Ferry Meadow.

Town and Country Park

First of all we got lost on the way in from the west but after that things improved! This site is very much a country park in an urban setting but what a good place it is! I can see why people enjoy staying here, there's so much to do. We stayed on the West Site (mainly hardstandings) but when we looked around the East Site later on I think this would have suited us more, it was greener and to us more pleasant. There is quite a bit of background road noise but other than that the site is in a good setting for all sorts of activities, especially walking and cycling and as the fishing fan in our family noted it's in a good spot to take the rods too.

Fantastic Weekend

Last weekend of September at Ferry Meadows. This was my first time at this Club Site and I was very surprised. The site was immaculate very well laid out with plenty of room between pitches. The staff very helpful and were always about the place. The country park right outside the site was a big surprise and we could have easily spent all day in the park and it was good to see so many families enjoying the area. Ferry Meadows railway station complete with steam train fantastic, takes you the 15 minute journey to Peterborough which is a great shopping and leisure area. We had our cycles with us and were able to use them on the cycle paths around the park and surrounding area in safety. A great weekend but was to short to do and see everything we will be back.

Didn't want to leave

What a fabulous site. The site itself is excellent, clean, well laid out, large hardstanding pitches, friendly staff, a variety of shaded or open pitches, brilliant facilities. But the position is what stands it apart, situated right next to the Nene Country Park which occupies a site 3.5 miles long and is just fantastic. Lakes, wildlife, paved paths, miniature railway, visitor centre, two cafe's, and miles of walking. So clean and well maintained, free entry and just a couple of hundred metres from the site entrance. Admittedly we had great weather but it has to be amongst the top three club sites I have visited in my 40 year membership. And to top it off there is a steam train which runs three days a week into the centre of Peterborough from a station next to the site and gives 50% discount to club site members. £4.50 each return plus £1 for the dog.
