From the manager: Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the great range of activities on offer for the children.
We’re sorry to hear you found swimming availability limited, especially for a group of seven. Our swimming sessions can be very popular, and we appreciate how frustrating it can be when you’re unable to book everyone into the same session. We’ll certainly take your feedback on board as we continue to review availability.
We hope to welcome you and your family back again for more fun and, of course, it’s in our nature!

Shelduck (area 3) fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Clean facilities, everything easily accessible, close to touring site. Train was fun and lady running it was amazing and so friendly
Disliked Hair dryers in toilets weren't working. Evening entertainment is outside so not great with a 1 year old when its cold. Swimming pool was cold.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re really pleased you enjoyed the clean facilities, convenient location and the train ride we’ll be sure to pass your kind comments on to the team, especially the lady who made your journey extra special!
We’ve also taken on board your comments about the hair dryers, pool temperature and outdoor evening entertainment. We appreciate that outdoor entertainment isn’t always ideal with little ones, especially when the weather is chilly.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It’s in our nature to listen, learn and keep improving.

Disliked All what everyone else is saying
Not a friendly place at all , doesnt have a nice feeling .Not one person talked to us or said hello .Just came back from a Devon camp and was total opposite.Work vans everywhere and overspiling on other peoples pitches.Rubbish in the lakes.Toilets and showers wasn't cleaned whilst we was there.Swimming pool near impossible to book but only had around 25 people in it .We booked 3 days tp stay as it advertised swimming pool but only got 1 hour in it . Pool was FREEZING cold anyway with most people complaining.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It’s disappointing to hear that you left Billing Aquadrome feeling this way, particularly as we want our guests to feel welcomed and enjoy their time with us.
I appreciate you sharing your experience with us. I understand that seeing work vehicles around the park and having them overspill onto pitches can be frustrating, particularly when you are trying to enjoy your holiday. Vehicles are permitted on the park, including those used by our maintenance and service teams, but they should always be used and parked considerately and should not obstruct or encroach on guests’ pitches. We are also looking at how we can improve signage and communication around vehicle access to make things clearer for everyone.
Your comments about the litter, toilet and shower facilities and the cleanliness of the lakes have also been noted. Our teams work throughout the day to maintain the park and facilities, but we recognise that there are areas where we need to do better.
We have continued to invest in Billing Aquadrome, including improvements to accommodation, facilities, signage, landscaping and guest areas, alongside ongoing maintenance and refurbishment. We have also introduced new developments and facilities across the park and are continuing to look at further improvements.
Regarding swimming, sessions do need to be booked in advance and availability can become limited during busy periods. I appreciate that only being able to secure one session during a three-day stay, particularly when swimming was something you were looking forward to, would have been disappointing. We have also noted your comments regarding the pool temperature and will share these with the relevant team.
I’m also concerned to hear about your experience with the food. We expect food to be served correctly and at the appropriate temperature, and your comments will be shared with the team so this can be reviewed.
Our welcome information is provided through our pre-arrival communications and Touch Stay guide, which provides information about the park, facilities, activities and what to expect during your stay. I have also noted your comments regarding the welcome pack and will ensure these are shared with the relevant team.
Our message at Meadow Bay is “It’s in our nature”, and for us that means continuing to listen, invest and improve. We know there is still work to do at Billing Aquadrome, and we will continue to push to do better.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Disliked Rubbish everywhere
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the variety of things to do during your stay.
We’re sorry to hear that you noticed rubbish around the park. Our teams work hard throughout the day to keep the park clean and tidy, and we do have bins provided around the park for guests to use. We’d really appreciate it if all our guests could help us by using the bins provided and taking pride in the park during their stay.
We’ll share your feedback with the relevant team as we continue to keep on top of cleanliness across the park.
It’s in our nature to keep our park welcoming and enjoyable for everyone, and we hope to see you again for a cleaner and even more enjoyable visit.
A lovely site, wonderful vision, beautiful views.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the wide range of activities available on site and that there was plenty to keep the family entertained.
We’re sorry to hear that the cleanliness of our shower facilities fell short during your stay. We take this feedback seriously and will share it with our housekeeping team to ensure standards are maintained.
We hope to welcome you back again and give you a cleaner, more enjoyable experience next time.
It’s in our nature.

Field 1 electric grass tent pitch (family)
Liked it had lots on offer, the campsite was big, we were close to the toilets, i liked that there was a shop for essentials we may have forgetten and everyone seemed friendly, swimming was free
Disliked all the entertainment was very busy, we did not eat in the venue because there was always a very long queue, the majority of the activities were paid and the swimming pool was small and cold
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the size of the park, the friendly atmosphere, being close to the facilities and having the shop there for those holiday essentials we all occasionally forget!
We understand that things can get very busy during peak periods, particularly with entertainment and dining. We also appreciate your comments around the activities and pool. We believe our activities offer great value for money, and we do have a number of activities, including swimming, which are free. We always recommend booking activities around two weeks in advance to give you the best chance of securing the sessions you want.
Thank you again for your feedback. It really helps us to continue improving the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back again. It’s in our nature to listen, learn and do better!
Went to reception and still not heard anything back!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the evening entertainment.
