Stowford Farm Meadows

喜欢 Grounds were well kept. On arriving we asked for our family to be pitched together which was sorted for us.

不喜欢 The bar areas were understaffed and tables not cleaned. There was a lack of glasses for drinks (usually pint glasses). The ladies toilets/shower blocks were not checked regularly and soap dispensers as were empty over the whole weekend. We needed to use the tumble driers (due to bad weather) only to find that there were no tokens available (or had been collected from the machines by the following morning) seemed like the attitude of some staff at their busiest week and at a time of bad weather was ‘it’s not our problem’

喜欢 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).

不喜欢 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.

喜欢 Well kept maintained site. Huge campsite with plenty of activities to keep you occupied.

Showers/toilets and washing facilities all clean

不喜欢 Had issues finding the site with the post code provided. Got there in the end with the help of a local, wouldn’t deter us from returning. Just may wish to update details if this is needed.

Wi-Fi at extra cost

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

不喜欢 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

喜欢 Location is good.

不喜欢 Unfortunately found this campsite very noisy at night with no warden to be seen at night time. We as a family who camp lots are very used to the general noise rules to be quiet after 10pm but there didn’t seem to be this rule in place or anyone monitoring noise levels at the camp site. We have young children who thankfully are pretty good at sleeping but as adults trying to enjoy the evening, to have to listen to kids (and adults) play fighting and playing football way past 11pm was not our ideal for a nice relaxing evening. To add to this we were pretty close to some season pitch holders in their caravan who were smoking marijuana pretty much 24/7. The smell was incredibly strong and with young children around and myself being 25 weeks pregnant it was very unpleasant.
If there had been someone patrolling the site this would have definitely been smelt by them. We didn’t feel comfortable complaining at the times as we’re worried about the backlash this may have caused from these season campers.
Facilities weren’t very clean.
Entertainment was honestly awful. Same every night with the games played by the hosts and the younger guy was so unprofessional. He seemed to like playing up to and joking with the older children while often just ignoring the younger ones. The games played in the early evening often felt unsafe for the smaller children or unattainable for them. One evening he played a game where they had to create a park with their bodies. This group of children who were no older than 7 had no guidance from him and instead of helping he just stared at them and said “well I don’t know what’s going on here, I’ll give you more time” So then myself and another parent jumped in to help the kids so they didn’t feel humiliated. I wish I could remember the guys name because he seriously needed more training!

喜欢 N/A

不喜欢 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.
