Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Meadow Lakes Holiday Park is generally considered a relaxing escape, with caravans described as spacious and clean. The swimming pool is appreciated for being warm and clean, and the animal corner, featuring supervised petting time with guinea pigs as well as opportunities to interact with goats, donkeys, and ponies, is a lovely, free addition for kids. While most find the location peaceful, some guests have experienced noise from hot tub users at night. Guests also enjoyed the playground with a zip line.

Quiet Lodge Stay

comfortable loungegood water flowhot tubsmall dining area
Our lodge featured a comfortable lounge area. The beds were also comfortable. Showers delivered good water flow. I liked the hot tub. It maintained a temperature of 41 degrees.
The caravan felt small. It was a six-berth model. the dining area only had seating for four people.

good family retreat

spacious caravancomfortable bedsabsent enforcement
I found the caravan to be quite spacious. it was also very clean. beds were also very comfortable. I slept soundly each night.
the absence of enforcement of site rules regarding noise from hot tub users detracted from the overall peacefulness. loud music continued late into the night.
Location
9/10
The setting offered easy access, while still maintaining a sense of seclusion. This was a real benefit. the location is quite central to many attractions, such as falmouth and mevagissey, for day trips, and it was practical.
Dining
8/10
The cosy cafe operates during limited hours, specifically from 9 am until 12 pm. This impacted lunch availability. a supermarket is also approximately five minutes away by car for self-catering necessities. this provides convenient options for dining.
Facilities

some issues impacted the stay

the caravan was tidy and well designed.
the bed was uncomfortable. the wall light above it was hanging off with the wire exposed. i also lost power, trying to put my five year old to bed in the dark was a nightmare.
