Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Meadow Lakes Holiday Park from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Meadow Lakes Holiday Park is often described as a relaxing getaway, offering spotlessly clean accommodations, including well-equipped caravans like the 'Finch'. Guests particularly enjoy the animal corner, where supervised petting time with guinea pigs is a highlight, and the opportunity to brush the ponies. Some have noted that the cafe has limited hours, but the warm swimming pool with clean showers, coupled with the idyllic river walk where you can spot a family of geese, usually compensates. Plus, with convenient access to nearby supermarkets, the park offers a great balance of tranquility and practicality.

blissful cabin retreat

super clean cabin fresh towels constant water charming bench

The cabin was super clean. it included cleaning products plus fresh towels. the shower provided constant hot water. It was great after long walks. i enjoyed the bench at the chalet front. Cornwall hills stretched out beautifully.

the wall light in the bedroom was slightly loose.

Relaxing Holiday Experience

clean showers ample space

I found the swimming pool to be fantastic. The showers were clean. the animal corner offered a lovely touch for children. They had supervised petting time to hold guinea pigs. there was ample green space for play and a nice little park with a zip wire. the caravan was very big, very clean, and had all the equipment needed.

the size of the caravan was a bit disappointing. i had paid for a premium six-berth caravan. there was only enough dinner seating and space around the table for four people
