Stowford Farm Meadows

Liked The area and cleanliness of the facilities and lovely people

Disliked Ataff on reception, one lady was so rude couldn’t find my pitch up details after we had driven 4 plus hours we had to wait nearly half a day which we wasted with kids and dog was not great and having a diabetic and a blue badge holder made life very hard, then manager came and helped and was resolved in a heart beat. Wasn’t a great start to the stay but once we were on our pitch was perfect!

Liked Originally booked through pitchup.com, but then the site was taken over by Park Dean. However, they honoured the booking details and price. Email communication was responsive, and when we arrived, reception was very friendly and allowed us to pitch slightly early.

Pitches were fairly level and accommodated medium to large tents and a car.

Toilet blocks on each field are central, and we didn't have to queue for any, so there were enough.

There is a swimming pool which you no longer need to book and has extended hours to 7 pm, a small park which the kids loved, a clubhouse (with evening entertainment) and shop. The site is well kept and has adequate disposal areas for rubbish and toilet waste.

Disliked * Electric hook ups often require running a cable fully across someone pitch and the warden didn't seem bothered by that trip hazard (as that wasn't always behind a tent).
* Toilet/shower blocks needed more regular cleaning and toilet roll/soap refilling more often.
* Shower sensors were temperamental and temperature was too hot at times especially for smal children.
* The swimming pool was freezing and changing rooms smelt like urine and covered in grass (4 out of 5 times). £4.50 per person (regardless or age) and our 3 year old could only manage 30mins each time. They have a policy of 1:1 for under 4, 1:2 for 4-14 so if you are a single adult with more one child you might not be able to swim despite your child's swimming ability. No lifeguard but they do have strict rules and hold up a sign 'no jumping' etc.
* By the end of the stay the field we were on had filled up and it became quite cramped and loud, especially at night.

Liked Friendly reception staff and handy having a shop, bars, pool and entertainment on site. Each field had a good amount of toilets and showers each so never any waiting to use them. Would come again, great location to lots of attractions with plenty to do locally.

Disliked Rubbish not cleared away quick enough when overflowing, making the place become messy. Also felt the pitches were quite small and packed in. Showers and toilets could have been cleaned more regularly. Also the shower timers weren’t on long enough so constantly waving hand over sensors that were a bit temperamental. Pool also too cold!!

Liked There is a lot for children to do to keep them entertained.
Facilities kept very clean.
Park wardens do a great job in keeping everything in line for a great, easy holiday.

Disliked Depending on where you are camping, the shower facilities can be quite a walk away. With having young children it can be a little inconvenient to walk. Would be beneficial if families with younger children could be placed closer to facilities.

Liked Lovelly clean accommodation with good toilet and shower facilities with in walking reach. Our accommodation was comfortable as we stayed in the the glamping pods which were spacious.


Lots of things to do on site with a swimming pool, park, horse riding and bars.


The site is in a good location with lots of things within a short driving distance.

Disliked Our only downside there was no information for the opening times for the shop and the fish and chip shop. After being out all day we was hoping to have a chippy but due to it being closed on a Friday evening we had to go back out and find food else where

Liked Big pitches
Great location for great North Devon beaches.

Disliked It was a very big site, very noisy at night, no one policing the bad behaviour, loud group parties. The bathroom facilities were filthy and not regularly cleaned. The kitchen had only 1 sink with a plug which was annoying. There was only one working washing machine which was really annoying with big queues to use it. You had to walk miles back to reception to get tokens to use it.
Rubbish WiFi that you had to pay for. £15 for the week. It would have been over £20 for our family to use the pool so we didn’t bother.
