first the good points
- great area for walking with public footpaths very close by which take you over fields and up into hills
- very dog friendly
- large field beside the hard standing area
- Tim greeted us and gave us options for where to set up, and showed us water points, recycling area, and toilet and shower facilities
constructive criticism points
- site page should make clear that ELU is extra charge, £5 above the £20 stated
- although toilet and shower were clean, they are in sheds so pretty cold in winter
- although the field was pretty firm, another unit managed to park up in the dark on a soft spot, and got stuck. No towing facility available onsite so they had to get family member to come and help them, so something for people to be aware of
Beautiful
What a little gem. The site is set in beautiful Cheshire countryside with the pitches adjacent to the owners garden, which you are free to roam.The views from any of the 5 pitches is excellent. If you are looking for a peaceful and tranquil getaway, you'll find it here. Ideal for exploring nearby castles and a trip to Chester is within easy reach. Tim is very friendly and helpful, I wish I could have stayed longer and will certainly be back.
Found it a little tricky to find. Just had to keep going.
Although a quaint quiet site, the shower and toilet facilities were not quite what I expected.
The 3 small wooden sheds hosted 2 toilets and one shower. Doors hard to shut tight for privacy and as the weather gets colder I wouldn’t fancy using them. They would be cold.
Hidden Gem
This is beautiful site which I would recommend without hesitation. Proprietor Tim was so welcoming and helpful, wanting to make sure that everything was perfect for our stay. He needn’t have worried the whole place is sublime with beautifully manicured gardens managed to perfection and Tim is keen to share his knowledge and expertise with the happy campers.
It’s definitely one of the nicest campsites we have ever visited, my only reservation in recommending the place is that we love it and don’t want to share 😊. We will definitely be back…
Thank you Tim

Lovely peaceful setting
We booked in for two nights and ended up staying for eight. Tim was very welcoming and helped us to park our motorhome so that we could enjoy the views across the pond to the distant hills, also loaning us an extra long cable for the ehu.
The gardens are unique and quirky with several interesting items of architectural salvage dotted around, garden seating and summerhouse, all well maintained.
The shower and toilet were closed due to Covid but we were self contained so this wasn't a particular issue.
We shall probably return at some point.

Not a bad cl but not worth £20 a night, also we were watching our family at the castle games so we wanted t stay longer on the Sunday, if u stay after 10.30am u have t pay for another night so another £20. We actually left at 2.30pm so I think £5 extra would have been more like it.
Comment from the Club:
The CL owner has been in touch to advise that the extra charge was for late departure at 4pm and to also cover the 2 extra cars on their site as you had 3 cars in total. We hope this helps clear up any confusion over fees and thank you for your review.
Just Stunning!
I'll keep it short....
Probably the best C.L we have ever stayed at, beautiful gardens, a wonderful host and a great location!
Tim was a wonderful host, the gardens were quite simply beautiful and we were lucky enough to be south facing so the gorgeous autumn sunsets were magical
Only one major problem, we had to come home!!!!!
Thanks Tim...

Peace and Tranquility
We have just returned from a lovely long bank holiday weekend on this site. Tim was attentive during the booking process and pre-arrival. Tim, Ivor and Jan gave a warm welcome, and were available if required, without being intrusive. The site is surrounded by open fields and the owners beautiful, expansive gardens, which are open to explore, and sit and relax, read and enjoy the tranquillity. A large field was made available to exercise our dogs, but they got most exercise on the Bickerton, Bulkeley and Peckforton Hills which are easily accessible from the site. We didn’t want to leave and we will definitely be returning.
Beautiful surroundings, very peaceful site.
A wonderful warm welcome from Ivor was a great start to our long weekend. Beautiful surroundings and gardens and great to have somewhere to let the dog off the lead.
Both Tim and Ivor were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Great location for some fabulous walks around Peckforton Castle which is only a few minutes drive away.
We will be back and would recommend this site to anyone looking for a bit of peace and quiet in a lovely setting.
Thank you.
Not for us this one
We ready the reviews before booking, first time out in the van this year and wanted to make sure everything was ok and we could remember how to use the equipment. On arrival Tim came and show us the pitch, very tight entrance / Exit not much room for error, once on the field again with 3 other caravans already on pitches you don’t have much room to get on the pitch.
Water tap is an issue where it’s located no good for motor homes with hose filling. Recycling was a dirty unkept area, with Coved 19 this area needs sorting. WC and Shower are two sheds we never use them. TV reception poor.
We had heavy rain Whilst there and the central area was water logged, Told to park in the car park and walk to your van. Gardens nice but could be a lot better, as could be said for the caravan site, work put in on the B and B side and caravan site let go, not worth the £15 per night price tag.
It a shame as the site could be nice, very convenient for the surrounding area.
We won’t be returning and couldn’t recommend this site.
