Billing Aquadrome

Tyckte om Amazing site situated with plenty to do. We stayed Monday-Saturday and decided to extend an extra day due to wanting to do so much more which the kids loved!
The camping pitches filled up eventually across the weekend which was nice too and we were given a pitch located close to the toilet/shower blocks as asked which was helpful for the other party we were camping with. Mostly friendly staff very bubbly on arrival (Gareth) amazing with the kids really boosted their excitement with some freebies bubbles sweets water gun and overall very helpful. Toilets and showers were maintained on the family camping site other than the odd expected blocked toilet

Tyckte inte om Pitches and surrounding were pitch black with zero lighting at all guiding any walk way ect. We noticed we were pitched up out of the way from everyone else which was slightly off due to being unable to mix or mostly the kids mixing whereas others were pitched upon each other and created a nice atmosphere whilst we were tucked in the corner. Wasn’t a massive problem just found it odd more than anything. The cleaner is constantly on duty however found to be just sat on their phone in one of the pot wash rooms and was told to “use the other” even though the other was already in use which wasn’t very professional at all. A lot of the younger staff wasn’t very child friendly or smiley and didn’t seem like they were happy to be there or even help apart from the lovely lad on the train who interacted with the children and really made the train ride fun and exciting.
The inflatable on the lake wasn’t open due to loss of water which was understandable and out of their control but traveling as far as we did was a slight inconvenience as I don’t think we’d have booked it this time if we had known and even more upsetting as it was still up and out to see which kind of rubber it in a little and was hard for the younger to understand why they couldn’t take park.

Tyckte om Good facilities plenty for kids to do, pods in a nice peaceful location

Tyckte inte om Cleaners need to clean the pods better crumbs and cereal bits on worktop cobwebs down side of fridge. Wasted space under worktop could do with a cupboard or drawers for storage .

Från föreståndaren: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the pod, found our team lovely and thought the on-site shop was reasonably priced.

Our Lakeside Cabins are designed as a step up from family camping, so they are intentionally basic, but they do provide those extra home comforts including a shower, toilet, sink, bed and kitchen facilities such as a microwave, kettle and toaster, along with crockery, cutlery and other essentials.

That said, we’re sorry that some of the facilities and cleanliness fell short during your stay. The microwave should certainly have been clean and ready to use, and torn bed linen is not the standard we expect, so we’ll be passing these points on to the relevant teams. We’ll also take your suggestions regarding additional storage, mirrors and larger bins on board, as we appreciate how useful these would be.

We’re sorry too about the noise from the neighbouring pod and the impact this had on your dog. We appreciate that this would have been frustrating, particularly when trying to enjoy a peaceful stay.

Thank you again for the detailed feedback. It genuinely helps us identify where we can make improvements while continuing to offer simple, comfortable accommodation at a great location.

It’s in our nature!

Tyckte om Great views and little Walks between the ponds, good kids entertainment, swimming pool was clean and well maintained and good life guard rotation 👌 will definitely come back again thankyou.

Tyckte inte om Fishing cabin had alot of cobwebs that could have been removed while cleaned before arrival, need more road signs as its very easy to go round in circles.

Tyckte om Great range of activities for kids.

Tyckte inte om Not many booking slots available for swimming. For our group of 7, we were only able to book swimming for one person per day.

Från föreståndaren: 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!

Tyckte om Clean facilities, everything easily accessible, close to touring site. Train was fun and lady running it was amazing and so friendly

Tyckte inte om 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.

Från föreståndaren: 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.

Från föreståndaren: 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.

Från föreståndaren: 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.

Tyckte om So many activities on site, plenty to do for families.

Tyckte inte om Cleanliness was lacking in the shower facilities.

Från föreståndaren: 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.

Tyckte om 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

Tyckte inte om 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

Från föreståndaren: 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!
