HOT WET HOT WET

We have recently returned from a week at this site and although the weather was mixed the usual quality of Caravan club facilities shone through. Great work from the wardens if a little over zealous at times.( would not let my daughter bring her car to our pitch to deliver /unload grandchildren's clothes, bedding and bikes etc, before leaving them with us for a holiday.) Watch out for tired hard standing pitches like 79 which flooded our awning after a period of rain.

Another wonderful trip to Ferry Meadows

We live quite near Ferry Meadows so when we have the grandchildren visiting we move to Ferry Meadows as they love it and make lots of friends. We went cycling a lot as it is safe for the children with no cars in the way. This time my husband and grandson hired a canoe and had a great time on the lake. Yet another new experience for our grandson. The site is always lovely and clean and the shop is probably the best stocked shop in the caravan club. We enjoyed the fish and chip van and the ice cream man visiting every evening he was very popular. Will be back again next year. Thank you wardens for doing such a grand job.

good site

It was a while since our last visit, but again it is well worth visiting, down side was on the Friday night the noise from the motorbikes nearby was quite loud. Enjoyed the Nene Park, even though it was busy but plenty of room for everyone. Wardens helpful and site clean, but did not win the raffle.

Be Careful

We have been to Ferry Meadows many times over the years and have, on the whole, enjoyed our stays. However, the conversion of a number of grass pitches to hard standing a few years ago, has detracted form the open feeling of the site. The area around the kid's play area is particularly 'hemmed in'. We have also learnt (from the Warden) that there are plans being considered to build a bigger play area (with football pitch etc). I have no problem with giving the kids an area to play in - I was, after all, a kid myself once (many years ago) and I do not mind a bit of 'kid noise' but the Club needs to be careful - a once beautiful site is being milked for all that it is worth. Other than this concern, the site and its facilities (and the Wardens) are up to the high standards that we have come to expect. The nightly visit of the Ice Cream Man is also a treat. I will keep returning up to, and until, the site becomes simply too overcrowded.

Excellent in every respect

We stayed two nights in mid-August. The site was pretty busy, as might be expected, and we were offered a hard-standing pitch on what we were told would be the quieter of the two areas. The only negative element was that we were in the shade throughout the weekend when others were relaxing in the all too rare summer sunshine. We cycled into Peterborough on the Saturday morning along dedicated cycle paths (flat and traffic free). The adjacent country park was beautiful and very popular with families on both days. The little train was running and this was a hit with our grandson as well as the play area next to the café. Although we were quite close to the entrance/exit of the site, we were not disturbed in any way. The toilet block was immaculate, the shower cubicles had plenty of hooks, a shower curtain to keep the rest of the cubicle dry, an easily adjustable shower and a seat. Bliss! We shall certainly visit this site again.

East Side Stay

We have been here many times over the years staying on both the East & West sides. Generally the East side is more family orientated with lots of grass pitches whilst the West side is mainly hardstandings and generally hosts the older generation. This time we stayed on the East side as we wanted a grass pitch and as expected had many families and a large amount of grandchildren. Overall this was fine and didn't impact on us. However, I was concerned about the number of children riding bikes and scooters against the traffic and the number of people who quite clearly were going faster than 5mph (even when arriving with van on the back. We have an automatic and had to brake to keep within this limit but found small children overtaking us and often swerving in front of us. I hesitate to say that sometimes the adults were just as bad on the bikes. Otherwise the site was as usual very good and the wardens helpful and friendly.

Ferry Meadows

Used this site for the first time this week. Excellent location with many pitches. Staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival. A very well cared for and clean site. The toilet/shower block is absolutely spotless. There are plenty of service areas for drinking water, chemical waste etc. Wildlife and steam railway on doorstep. Only 1 hour away from us, can't wait to return!
