Nice and quiet

We have just had our first week at this CL. To start with .... 1. All communication from Nick was to the point and in a timely manner. 2. The gated CL side was only 6 plots although for some reason plot 6 was not to be used but that meant we had the end all to ourselves. The rest of the park was around the CL part and had just as good views and facilities so it would not matter really where you parked up. 3. There were only two showers on the whole of the site which was fine for us as it was not too busy but could maybe a problem in the more popular times. 4. On the farm are Lammas and goats. 5. Lovely views all around and a good mown grass walk around the farm fields which was mostly walked without getting muddy, just the part that lead to the Red Lion pub which then meant you were walking into the pub with muddy boots but they were really nice about it. 6. It was a chilly week with strong winds so we needed our heating on, after getting through £8 on the first night via the pay in pound coins electric machine, we decided to use our mixture of gas and electric so still ended up putting a total of £20 in the meter and using nearly all of our gas. This just makes it a bit more expensive than hoped. 7. All in all it was a lovely, peaceful site which we were able to relax on

An oasis of calm

What a lovely site. Immaculately kept, spacious, fully serviced pitches and stunning views. The beautifully laid out dog walk provides a really good circular tour around the fields and farm. We’ll be back (again).

Gem of a CL

This was our third visit and definitely won't be our last, the site is immaculate and the facilities excellent. The views on all sides are stunning and the farm walk is excellent and a plus is it leads straight to an excellent local pub (The Red Lion). If you're looking for a relaxing break I can thoroughly recommend Welltrough Hall Farm. Electricity is by meter, we used £10 over 3 nights you can easily keep the costs down by running heating on gas which we did.

Pleasant site in a lovely area

We were here for 3 nights. As soon as we booked we received loads of information from Nick to make sure we knew gate codes etc, so that was helpful. The site is at the back of a working farm in a very picturesque area. Apart from the 5 pitches on the CL, there are many more pitches dotted about as part of a commercial site. The pitches are quite large but sloping, even with our wedges in situ we were still nosing forward. From our pitch we had amazing views at the front over the gorgeous countryside and behind we could see the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank plus all the lovely alpacas. There is a farm walk which we did on our first day, this mown grass path follows the perimeter of the farm. There were signs to The Black Swan pub but we followed the path onwards to The Red Lion pub. The path brings you out at the back of the car park - took us about 40 minutes. This is a fabulous pub and Pete & Kerry are very welcoming, the food is lovely and well worth a visit. There is also a coffee shop located within the pub serving hot drinks and snacks in the morning. We returned the next day for Sunday lunch and it was amazing.On day one of our visit we realised there was another pub nearby called The Old Pub, so we decided to do the 30 minute walk to that, not realising that as we got around the bend there was the entrance to our site - so much quicker to get there via the road than the farm walk! We arrived at The Old Pub only to find it was closed for a refurb (until 17 January 24) - this used to The Black Swan; again quicker to get there via the road! The shower and toilet were adequate and there is a washer and tumble drier should you need them. We had read some stinging reviews regarding the introduction of meters for electricity and the impact it had upon other people's experience while on site. It has to be acknowledged that everyone is struggling with the cost of fuel these days and I suppose the impact it must have on businesses could be potentially catastrophic. When we arrived we fed our meter with £10, we checked it a few hours later and worked out electric was costing approx 50p per hour. That would tie in with a previous review that said over 3 days they fed the meter almost £36! Plus we felt we had to keep nipping out to check what credit we had so it didn't fail during the night. We had heating on and small fridge and TV (both which don't take much at all). It was a cold weekend with sharp frosts, however we felt that an extra £12 per night did make the cost quite expensive. We use CLs as they tend to be cheaper and felt the £37 per night was excessive. We agreed we'd much prefer a standard pitch fee without all the faff of feeding a meter, going to the machine to get even more £1 coins and constantly checking our credit. If you're paying a standard pitch fee it's your decision if you feel costs are excessive and you vote with your feet. We enjoyed our stay but doubt we'll return.

Perfect site, perfect location.

We have just come away from a four-night stay at Welltrough Hall Farm CL site and cannot praise it highly enough. As much as I am not a fan of the phrase, in this case 'what's not to like' is entirely appropriate! The site is situated on a slight ridge with an unobstructed view of the northern end of the Peak National Park to the east, and the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank about a mile away to the west, which was the main reason for our visit to Welltrough Hall Farm as we were attending an event at Jodrell Bank. It was eerie to look out of the van and notice that the telescope was in a different position every time! The peace and tranquillity of the location was really appreciated after a long drive north through the Midlands. For stargazers like me, the site is far enough away from any major sources of light pollution for it not to be a problem. I can't control the weather, though! The CL site is very secure, having its own gate in addition to the main farm gate. It is also spotless and we felt spoilt by having a fully serviced pitch - no tramping across muddy fields with Aquarolls and grey water tanks! We liked the coin slot electricity meter, which was reasonably priced for our short stay, but also ensured we didn't take our electricity use for granted. As others have said, the pitches are immaculate and very well looked after with plenty of space between them. Being an adult-only site is a bonus, too. We have nothing against children, really, having worked with the blighters and had two of our own, but we've been there, done that, and worn the sticky t-shirts. Enough! The site is situated within easy reach of the M6 and is perfectly located for visiting places such as Chester and Manchester (tram from Altrincham, within easy reach). From the outset communication with Nick was excellent, with informative emails and messages. When we found at short notice that we would need to book an extra night this was dealt with both quickly and courteously. This was our first visit to Welltrough Hall Farm, but honestly won't be our last. We have friends in the area and will be attending future events at Jodrell Bank, so we look forward to any opportunity to return soon.

Superb Rural Location

This was our second visit to Welltrough Hall and the site was still as immaculate as on the previous occasion. Nick works extremely hard to maintain such a high standard. Since our previous visit coin operated electric meters have been installed, we spent around £2 to £3 per day on energy however in the colder months this would be a lot more expensive if using electric heating. During our stay we visited Jodrell Bank, RHS Bridgwater, and the Nation Trust properties at Quarry Bank and Little Morton Hall all within relatively comfortable driving distances. It’s well well the short walk to The Old Pub on Trap Street where you will receive a Warm Welcome and Tasty Food! We will definitely visit Welltrough again in the Future !

Great rural location

Easy to get from M6 or M60, set within farmland with open, sweeping views. Extremely quiet, adult only with lots of space between large pitches. Nick, who is the busy owner, found time to give advice and a friendly wave. The site is well managed and in good order but, even though I fully appreciated the security, I felt the Caravan Club paddock did not warrant its own security gate as the other two gates did the job just fine. The site has expanded beyond a 5 pitch CL but the original CC area still commands the prime location at the top of the lightly wooded hillside leaving open views. We made full use of our own onboard facilities aided by each pitch having its own water and grey water drain. Another WC would be an improvement. First time we have used a site with its own electricity meter which worked out at £2 to £3 per day but it could be very expensive in cold weather. Certainly worthy of another visit.

Outstanding

It has all been said before about this site. It’s one of the very best. Lovely views, great location, spacious and immaculately maintained pitches, and even a mown 3 km walk around the farm. We will be returning on our next trip in the area.
