A aimé We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at Stowford Farm Meadows and found it was good value for money. Check in was very efficient and staff that we met were friendly and helpful. Toilet and shower facilities were plentiful and we found them always to be clean with hot water. Also had sinks for dish washing.
Facilities onsite were good - children's play areas, swimming pool, mini golf and bar/restaurant entertainment area.
Site was well maintained and nicely spaced out.
Great location for visiting Woolacombe and Ilfracombe (15-20 minute drive to each).

N'a pas aimé Many of the arcade machines/change machines were jammed or not working.
Shop onsite had limited stock (although this was said to be as a delivery had not come in)
Bar service was not very efficient early evenings with long wait times when it wasn't that busy.
Chalkboard in the stable bar was still advertising the animal show from the week before which was not on during our stay.

A aimé Site was clean, easy to peg the tent into the ground. Shop staff were helpful and friendly. Lounge bar was nice

N'a pas aimé Reception manager was rude, showers needed more water pressure and bigger cubicles. Clothes and shoes got wet while showering. Drinks and food on site were expensive. Shop shut to early and opened late. Chip shop was shut most of the time. All tent pitches were on a slant.no cider on tap at any of the drinking venues. Restaurant not big enough to cater for the amount of people on site. People had to wait 1.5 hours for meals. No phone signal or WiFi on site. Waste bins not emptied enough or signposted

N'a pas aimé I was extremely disappointed with my recent stay at Stowford Farm Meadows. Having visited the site as a child over 20 years ago, when my parents had a seasonal pitch for their touring caravan, I returned with a genuine sense of nostalgia and was therefore particularly saddened by my experience.
There were several issues during our stay. The showers were cold and did not provide adequate hot water, while the bath taps were also cold. In contrast, the sinks produced excessively hot water, despite stickers warning guests about the temperature.

Our tent pitch was also situated on a hill, which made it far from suitable or comfortable. I appreciate that camping pitches can vary, but this was not what I reasonably expected from the site.

I also paid £18.99 for the internet package, which did not work at all. I spent more than six hours in total on hold with VFast customer service trying to resolve the problem, without any satisfactory outcome.

Perhaps most concerning of all, we visibly saw rats running around the campsite. This was extremely unpleasant and raised serious concerns about hygiene and the standard of the site. I have photographs and video evidence of this.

I raised these issues directly with the site during our stay and was told that they would be addressed. However, I was disappointed that I wasn't even asked which field or pitch we were staying on, which gave me little confidence that anything would actually be done.

Ultimately, the combination of these issues meant that we no longer felt comfortable continuing our stay and checked out one day early.

Overall, I found the standard of the facilities and service to be significantly below what I expected. The experience was particularly disappointing given my fond memories of visiting Stowford Farm Meadows as a child. I genuinely hoped to return to a site that held such positive memories, but unfortunately this stay has left me feeling very let down.

I hope the site takes these concerns seriously, particularly the issues with hot water, the non-functioning internet service and the presence of rats, and takes appropriate steps to address them.

A aimé Staff were polite and helpful. The layout is impressive and all wc amenities were clean and presentable. Pitches were very large with ample room between them. The pool was clean and tidy. The activities were well catered for. The site itself was clean and tidy. WiFi was expensive.

N'a pas aimé Alcohol was tad higher than normal. Bins could be emptied on more regular basis.

A aimé Very nice place. Big pitches. A lot on site. Plenty of toilets and showers. Decent shop, bar, large swimming pool and park.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Thomas one of the entertainers was very nice.
Close to petrol and supermarket and a couple of towns near by.

N'a pas aimé Beer very expensive and not the best selection. Evening venue too small for size of the park. Site is remote so no phone signal, but that's not there fault.
Free WiFi not the best.
