Stowford Farm Meadows

Me gustó nice and clean area, shop on site, restaurant/pub on side, clean and cozy glamping pod, close to the bathroom area, very nice and friendly receptionists

No me gustó It is difficult to get a Wi-Fi signal, and the connection is usually very weak.

Me gustó Loved it . Quiet , clean . Full of facility’s .

No me gustó Chip shop not open enough, with nothing being in walking distance you have a captive market . Would have love to have seen a little coffee shop . Paid a lot for WiFi and it didn’t work very well

Me gustó Lovely location and great sized pitches.

No me gustó cold showers, dirty facilities with no toilet roll and half the toilet door locks missing, crazy golf course in poor condition meaning you loose your ball half way round, arcade room where nothing works, swimming pool closed more than open with numerous excuses given, unhelpful staff, bar food ok but would be better with proper chips rather than the school cafeteria ones they currently use, beer was flat with staff swilling the glass to get any sort of head. overall very poor. Chose this site because of all the extras advertised for the kids but couldn't use any of them. will not be returning

Me gustó We only stayed overnight and didn't have time to use all the facilities but it seemed very family friendly. Shower rooms were usable and clean with nice warm showers and plenty of toilets. The restaurant was nice with good food too, pool table, darts, arcade etc so was very family and dog friendly.

Me gustó I want to be completely fair reviewing this place as I feel it only fair to both the park, and to families who are looking to stay.

We camp often, and I think the park overall is brilliant, but would welcome a little love is places.

We understand the lady who takes calls and welcomes guests was on her own in the lead up to our stay, but she was extremely friendly when we arrived and is doing an amazing job. I tried calling many times to enquire as to whether we could get adjoining pitches for us and friends but no answer. However, when we arrived they had read the notes left with Park Holidays (phone diverts through when no answer at Stowford) and organised this so we couldn’t be happier. With the phones, the lady needs support - the site is very large, and many guests are regularly in reception, so clearly not her fault at all. She was lovely.

The things we liked:

Flat pitch (for us)
Cost - very reasonable for the stay
Excellent showers (good pressure/heat)
Clean toilet block
New menu
All meals we had at the pub were great
Size of shower/toilet blocks - never had to wait
Friendly and accommodating staff
Entertainment
Site map has excellent detail
Dog park and sport field

Overall, the site is really good. I heard some guests discussing frustrations which I personally disagree with… things like the phone not getting answered, which as stated is likely if you are on your own through no fault of your own. I understand the frustration, but this needs to be directed at the operators - not reception. Others mentioned the toilet blocks aren’t cleaned regularly enough - again, I disagree in that I always found them as clean as a reasonable person would expect - you can’t have a toilet/shower attendant in there 24/7 cleaning every blade of grass from the floor etc. and they provided a floor blade to use post shower which I think all should use out of courtesy.

No me gustó I don’t like the word disliked - we didn’t ‘dislike’ anything - however, there are some elements to the site that I feel Park Holidays as a chain could very simply rectify, and feel they should consider if they wished to make it a truly excellent offering:

1) Look at ways to support the existing staff to ensure service is provided to its highest potential
2) A deep clean of the toilet blocks more often - purely because the extractor fan had a lot of dust stuck to the wood around it which was falling off and onto the sinks
3) Arcades need attention - we went twice in 5 days and neither change machines had change, several machines weren’t operating fully, and as a family campsite, this, for children, is (in our opinion) quite important
4) Shop needs attention - stock levels of ‘necessities’ needs to improve and it needs modernisation
5) Look (if possible) to open the Fish & Chip shop everyday - several couples we spoke to mentioned this

None of the above affected our stay - we would definitely stay again - we understand finances don’t grow on trees, but some of the above aren’t ’bank-breakers’, others I feel would benefit the park hugely.

Me gustó I stayed here a few years ago and had an amazing experience but not the same now - the facilities are all there but the organisation and care is now non existent , things change but sadly for the worst here

No me gustó Poor organisation at booking stage & on arrival and no information given regarding where and what’s on. Conflicting information on the door of the swimming pool telling you to call to book- you call always busy- went to reception told you can just turn up- turned up and pool was closed 2x. Everything is a guessing game

Me gustó Location
Really good dog exercise areas
Good range of facilities
Shop was good and well stocked

No me gustó Internet is patchy through out the day, cleanliness in the shower block and toilets was bad but could have been due to bank holiday weekend but that should have ment an increase. Felt over crowded but again was bank holiday.
Had to pay extra £4.50/person for the pool felt a bit much for just a pool when you’ve paid for the site
