Great location,dated facilities

Having just spent a weeks stay here and enjoyed our stay we must say the toilet block is beginning to look very tired and dated compared to other club sites,we noticed that at the site entrance their were some planters but they had nothing in them,it is so pleasant be greeted by a bright floral display,but after saying these negative points the site has so much to offer in its location and being able to have direct access to the castle and grounds.

Shame about the new 'branding'

Just had a week at Lady Margarets . We found the area was very dog friendly with good places to walk from the site.Several nice places to eat indoors with your dog. Showers etc a bit 'tired'. All in all a good visit and would return when prices are at their lowest.But the not wanted new branding has to be paid for.....a big mistake, just ask any member !

Beautiful and peaceful

We have just spent eight nights here and had a lovely peaceful time. The site is spacious and you can either set up in one of the wooded dells or on the open area. You can hear plenty of birdlife and there are rabbits hopping about. The dog walk is good and we also used the extra lower field to let our younger dog have a good run around. We walked into Chirk and visited the aqueduct and viaduct area, very picturesque. We attempted to walk through the canal tunnel but as it got darker our older dog lost his way and fell in the canal. He was quickly hoisted out and we came back out. My husband went back later and walked throught the tunnel, it is best to take a torch. We travelled out to the other aqueduct near Llangollen and it is a lovely area to visit. We had an evening meal at the Hand Hotel which was very nice. You can walk in the grounds of Chirk Castle which is adjacent to the caravan site. We were also recommended to visit Ellesmere by a local man whom we met on the aqueduct, there are several meres close together and walks to be taken. Yes there is some factory noise but it is bearable and sometimes you can taste the chocolate in the air. The toilet block is dated but clean and well kept. The wardens were nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly return.

First experience

This was our first outing with a caravan. We decided to go local just to try it out and stayed for one night. On arrival both wardens were friendly and helpful. They mentioned that the toilet block was one of the older ones and was due an upgrade. We felt they were good, plenty of hot water and very clean. In fact the whole site was immaculate. It's quiet, and secluded, yet close to Chirk. We enjoyed our walk down to The Poachers Pocket pub, along the canal. Take a torch though for the tunnel as it is dark. Have re booked for later in the year

First trip out

Stayed at this local site for 2 nights only. This was our first outing in our new caravan, so that we could familiarise ourselves with all the various gadgets etc. The Warden was extremely polite and welcoming, and we found the facilities to be of a good standard. The toilets were and showers were kept in a clean condition. The site was busy for the time of year and the people we met were all very friendly. Overall, we enjoyed our short stay and would like to return some day

Short stay

Only had 2 nights, first night was quiet the second we could hear the factory even though it was raining quite hard on the van roof. T.V. reception was good using the built in areal on the van. Facilities are there but need updating.Surrounding area full of places to see. Walking distance pubs i would not recommend but the village spar has everything you need.

welsh half term break

Hi all,just back from the welsh half term brwak where we had five nights at chirk,and what a great surprise this site was a great base for exploring the local area where a cycle ride or walk along the canel is a must. Chirk castle is another attraction on the door step which is a mile and half walk from the park with great views over the area.as for the site facilities yes they are looking a bit tired but with all sites that are open year long with heavy useage this is going to happen ,one thing that may help is for the club to put in extra paths to access the toilet block so members dont carry in any mud which would help the wardens who work so hard trying to keep on top of this site.a special mention to the wardens for all their hard work clearing up after storm doris thank you

First time out.

It was our first trip out in our new caravan, after having had a 15 year break. We chose Lady Margarets for the location and we where not disappointed, perfect for us and the dogs. The site and all it's facilities where very clean and well maintained, and the wardens where polite and helpful. We would recommend this site and will definitely have another visit in the future.

Lovely Site.......But Version Two

This is my second attempt at submitting a review on this site, I was timed out the lastime so you can see the length of my review. Firstly I always make a point of submitting honest reviews without any bias,secondly prior to this review I had not read the one previously submitted by Knowbury another club member. I will summarize this review as follows ; A the time of my visit I was not aware I would be visiting a BMX cycle track,the children use the site for racing around or learning to ride a bike not good when you have owners parking vans etc let alone young children (far too young) to be riding a bike unsupervised,at least they didn't hit my van but came close to others. The toilets, I have never seen signs in each cubicle about leaving the toilet clean I just thought this was normal hygiene however the following morning when I returned I soon found out why signs were displayed. ( I wont explain) as for the ladies my wife said toilet paper and sanitary towels were everywhere. When not competing in the tour de france the children were climbing the trees so much so our neighbour complained. The neighbour on our other side a seasoned visitor to this site said and I quote "Its gone downhill" The visitors book contained scrawl where some little angel had decided to do there best to complete it in one. The site itself is great and the surrounding area beautiful but wardens come on do some practical wardening, as for the members who allow their children to operate like this I sincerely feel that you should be ashamed. Will I be returning,well there would have to be some fundamental changes first.

Lovely site . . . but

This is a lovely site in a very beautiful area, and we have visited on a number of occasions. There are stunning walks and fascinating artefacts from the industrial revolution - plus Chirk Castle and grounds. The site staff are very pleasant and helpful. The toilet block is looking a bit tired, though the staff do a valiant job in keeping it clean (this despite the efforts of some members who insist on leaving the WCs in a quite disgusting state – not helped by the paucity of water supposed to flush them). The showers are rather poor with very low pressure. There appear to be some outstanding odd jobs around the site (e.g. a stand pipe needs re-fixing, a notice board is rotting). The noise from local factories (the nearest is 0.3 miles away as the crow flies) can be intrusive, especially if there’s a NE wind and, unless you absolutely adore cocoa/chocolate, the smell can be a bit off-putting. I’m afraid to say that, like far too many other sites, the 5mph speed limited is very widely disregarded, in some cases by a large margin. There are a few ‘sleeping policemen’ but far too few to deter those who ignore the limited. The Club needs to be far more assertive in enforcing this rule. The rubbish skips provided for waste and recycling have heavy lids that open at a height of (from memory) about 1.2 meters. I fear these might to too high and heavy for some members. There is a children’s play area but it is more limited than at some other sites. TV reception was OK on caravan's aerial (with occasion pixelation). WIFI not too bad, but slow when site was busy.
