How can this be a CL?

This is a lovely and well maintained caravan site though with few facilities for the 24 or so hard standing pitches. Clearly from the photos on the web page it was once a CL but recently has been extensively expanded so if members are looking for a 5 pitch CL then this will not fit the bill. We chose this site based on it being a 5 pitch CL with facilities so we were very disappointed.

Really Lovely but is it a CL site?

We have visited this site a few times and it is well laid out, very quiet and has absolutely stunning views from nearly every pitch. There is a good farm walk on site and lovely sense of space overall. We didn't use the portaloo or showers and agree with another reviewer that £20 is enough to pay per night so shouldn't really have an extra charge for a shower. It is a site we will use again but do have an issue with it being called a CL site. There are approximately 20 + caravans on site, broken into different sections but nevertheless larger than you expect if you think you are going to a CL site. Is this a Caravan Club issue as they have obviously approved this classification, but it is misleading? We only ever use CL sites and purposely want to be based at smaller 5 van sites, this isn't one of those but is lovely in many other ways.

Brilliant CL

This is a superb CL immaculately kept and with great views for six miles or so across the valley. We watched Lapwings swooping and dancing across the fields each evening. We could even see Jodrell Bank telescope in the opposite direction. We found the WC and shower to be clean and adequate, housed in a plastic WC pod and shed. The site even has a washing machine and tumble drier! This site is so well kept that I would rate it as one of the bets CL’s we have ever stayed on. For all of our three night stay it was very quiet and peaceful helped no doubt by the fact that it is an Adults only site. Being retired we have had our turn of noisy kids! We found Nick to be a very helpful and pleasant person. However being a Farm site the entrance drive and way through farm buildings can get a bit muddy and uneven particularly when its wet.

A little peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings

This site was a delight from booking to arriving and for the duration of our stay, which sadly was only one night, Nick confirmed our booking and gave helpful tips on finding his site. Upon arrival it was clear where we should pitch and the views were breathtaking, we were blessed with some good weather which showed it off to its best. Our first task was to exercise our dogs and to our delight there was 3k a walk all around the farm that had been designated (with poo bins a plenty) There was a toilet facility and shower which my husband take advantage of and said it was super, lots of hot water, a place to put your clean clothes and all in all a fabulous site. Our pitch overlooked Jodrell Bank in the distance which was interesting. easy access from the M6 for our onward journey to the lakes. we will be back Nick!

Disappointing

It was easy to book on the website and we received an email confirmation with good information. We arrived on Friday late afternoon for a two night stay. On arrival we followed the signs and selected an available pitch as instructed in the email. We expected the owner to come and greet us, we didn’t see him all weekend and ended up trying to call him to pay before we left. He didn’t reply so we left the money with the farm house, not sure that is anything to do with the CL now. We have a motorhome with services on the drivers. In order to use the waste we couldn’t follow the suggested caravan awning layout. I would suggest that this CL is really designed for caravans, as if you couldn’t access the waste hole there isn’t a drive over grey water dump. Toilets are portacabin style, and the shower requires £1 coin, considering the CL is £20 I wouldn’t expect to pay for a shower. We have stayed in much better CLs for a lot less and with better facilities. I’m afraid we’ve marked this down as didn’t feel welcome, and if we had of had any issues the owner wasn’t contactable. The nearest pub The Red Lion doesn’t take dogs. We had a good meal in The Swettenham Arms.

A great site in an excellent location

I have been using this site since March as a base for my workplace which is less than 10 minutes drive. The layout of the site is great with all services on each (hardcore) pitch and on summer evenings the views are excellent. Even now as winter is approaching the site is dry and clean and makes it perfect for my working day need to be suited and booted. Definitely the best small site I have visited

Comment from the Club

Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we are so delighted you enjoy staying at Welltrough Hall Farm CL. For other peoples information (as we have had a couple of queries from members) judithandterry were not on the site for longer than the allotted 28 days but visited several times throughout the year. We hope this clears up any confusion.

Weekend Break

We have just come back from a weekend break at this CL. We've been looking for a CL that we can go to on a Friday when we finish work until Sunday/Monday am not too far to travel to and this ticked all the boxes so we've added this to our weekend break list. Clean, tidy site with fantastic views across open countryside and Jodrell Bank beyond. Has another site for 6 non-CL caravans and working towards increasing this on a field behind the CL site too. Has a rally field but all well organised so you are not tripping over each other. Has a shower block but not used as we have on-board facilities and also has a little shower for the pets after their jolts. Well worth a visit.

Best farm site we have been to

We used this site for a breather, on the way to the lakes, from E.Anglia. To say we were impressed by the site is an understatement, as we arrived. Views from the pitches, were brilliant, and spacing, although not secluded, was enough to give separation. The farm walks take in some lovely views, and we went round quite a few times while there. Toilet and shower are basic, but adequate. You can get two done in the shower, for the same coin, so double up, with changing and showering in turn. Locally, for us the walks were great, although the nearest pub to the site,( Red Lion ), did not accept dogs, and the host was far from amenable, when we visited. There is a far better reception/ale/dog friendly/food quality place within 3 miles that has been pub of the year. So head for the Swettenham Arms. ( The short cut down to the ford, is the best option as you approach, so look for the signs ) We WILL use this gem again.

A little gem

First time we have stayed at this CL and we're very impressed. Very tidy and well maintained site with the grass in between the hard standing pitches kept lovely and short. All the pitches are a good size and fairly flat. Good information room with washer and dryer, eggs and meats to purchase. Super pitch type fresh and waste water, depending on usage the water pressure can drop a little. Excellent free wi-fi and perfect tv reception.Very peaceful site with great views. Easy booking and excellent email information updates.The 4 star rating was because of the portaloo toilet and the £1 coin operated shower, surely at this price the shower should be included in the price.

Favourite Site

This is our favourite small site, it has stunning views from all pitches and has all the facilities you need. There is a water tap and waste drain on each pitch and the hard standing and grass are in perfect condition. Nick has generated a Farm Walk around his land which is perfect for adults and pets alike. It also leads to The Red Lion pub for some refreshment. There is a shop which sells a wide range of quality meats etc. Being in the centre of Cheshire there is plenty to do and the town of Homes Chapel is close by. Well worth a visit, if you can get in!!
