Stowford Farm Meadows

Positiv Clean site with good sized level pitches .
This is our third and last time here as it is now a very expensive site for what it now offers .

Negativ The fact that the site has got rid of most of it facilities that we have seen on previous trips here.
The food outlets, camping shop , entertainment options and the shop is now half the size

Positiv Check in was midday onwards which is great when camping as you don’t want to waste too much of your day waiting for your pitch. The pitch itself was massive! Could have fit two large tents on it. Great facilities on site (I know this as a friend has a lodge there). Toilet and shower blocks were clean and tidy. Sinks to do washing up and a small laundry room too.

Negativ Reception did not tell us about the facilities available: swimming pool, bar, shop, crazy golf etc. Showed us where our pitch was but this was poorly signposted. The number was covered in grass, guessed where it was down to having electric and could just about see the number of the electric point. Pitch was slightly on a slope and needed cutting, grass was very long. WiFi and phone signal is awful, you have to pay to connect to the site WiFi which is equally not great at times.

Positiv Ability to book on line via pitch up
Very pleasant male receptionist who welcomed us to site

Negativ Allocated camping spot was occupied by a static ‘show’ caravan
Very grumpy female receptionist who reluctantly tried to sort out a new pitch for us. I understand that the site had been recently taken over by Park Dean and the pitches were allocated centrally. However, the reception team are the customer facing team and represent the company and they cannot complain and side step responsibility.

Positiv Clean and tidy site with large pitches. Plenty of facility blocks situated throughout the site. Friendly and helpful staff. Onsite security.

Negativ Food only served at bar for evening meals. Pool very basic and not included in pitch fees as it is in other sites we have visited. Hookup’s could can be quite far from pitch (long leads required)

Positiv Staff were friendly, pitches were nice and big, park was clean, food was nice.

Negativ Showers were not great. Sometimes smelly, and not powerful. You either had hot or cold, no in between for the younger ones.

Positiv Large pitches
Clean facilities
Plenty to do on site - swimming pool, arcade, farm shop, chip shop, resturant/bars. Lovely childrens park.
Private drive in.

Negativ The pitch numbers could be clearer on the ground(overgrown) very minor but nearly ended in a divorce before the tent was set up!
Area is not to our liking but not the sites fault!

Positiv Pitch size was good. Washing up area was clean. Magician was very good.

Negativ First person I met was unfriendly and verging on rude. She was unhelpful and very stern, saying she could not put us close to our friends pitch as we had booked with a 3rd party. However, the pitches close to our friends stayed empty for our entire stay.
Out of the 8 male showers, only 3 were hot, 5 were cold, this was not due to 'having to let it run' as I ran the shower times with no temp change. The 3 that were hot the light above was not working making them quite dark. My wife and daughters said the female showers fluctuated hot and cold during use.

Positiv Love the site, been loads of times. Great location and facilities.

Negativ Booked asking to be pitched up next to our friends, confirmed twice, yet when we got there another member of staff was rude, entitled and told us clearly that they don't confirm pitches next to each other... The pitch next to ours was empty for the duration of our stay. Irritating or what!!
The majority of staff are helpful, and we will not be put off by Mrs Grumpy / in need of a customer care course...

Positiv Nice park for the kids to play in and big site

Negativ Showers were often cold and dirty, receptionist was rude when discussing speed at which the wardens drive around the site moving and pitching caravans. Grass pitches very unlevel

Positiv The site is well set out and clean

Negativ The restaurant is a bit of a letdown. Ate there twice the staff were nice but the food was not so good. Fish and chips was white fish, not cod, and pretty tasteless. The burger was a real letdown too. It tasted cheap
