March 2016 Lady Margarets Chirk

We stayed for a few nights mid March and really enjoyed our visit. We loved the walks in the local area and the convenience of the dog walking areas. It was really peaceful and quiet with extremly clean and spotless facilities. The smell of chocolate on occasions was unusual but quite enjoyable. Definately visit again very professional.

March stay

We stay in Lady Margaret's several times a year and love it there. I have been commenting on the potholes for several years with nothing being done. They are hard to avoid if there are walkers on the road. My other gripes ( sorry!) were showers that merely trickled at times and a hairdryer that was a complete waste of time. My other problem was that I can barely lift the recycling bin lids as I have arthritis in the shoulders. Please can we have the ones with slot-in holes ? I enjoyed my stay however and will be back. The cheapest diesel was again at Sainsburys Wrexham.

Pot holes

We have been coming to this site for the last 20 years and we have to agree with the other comments about the toilet block being tired and run down.Most of the wardens are friendly,but have noticed not so with all the campers,a lot of people will avoid eye contact at all cost and just not say hello (why are they camping?) As for the pot holes on the approach road to the site how on earth can you miss them,they can do serious damage to your car and van.We had an anti roll bar snap once in similar conditions and it cost £450 to repair.We think this site is due for a refit??

Spring break

We had a lovely ten night stay at this site it is very central for visiting the many places of interest in the area. We found the wardens friendly and helpful. The shower block was clean and tidy but needs refurbishing. The weather was freezing cold during our stay so the shower block needed a bit more heating. As other have said the road into the site urgently needs repairing, it is littered with huge potholes. However we will return.

Ageing Old Dear

Have been to LMP many times, at least once a year for the last 5/6 years. Site enjoys a great location for many things as others have said, and facilities although solid and clean with no damage are slightly dated. This poses no problem other than aesthetics however, unlike the other areas I had issue with last week. Only minor issues admittedly, but still not akin to usual CC standards I feel. Firstly, I fully agree with others that the access road has been deteriorating slowly for the last few years and is a relatively simple win to repair. Secondly, the attitude of the wardens was clearly a good cop/bad cop. Female warden was great, very helpful when I rang to ask if we could book an extra night, but admittedly would arrive around 8pm. She offered to amend my booking for me and just to ring the bell when we got there and all would be well. On ringing back to confirm a few minutes later, the 'bad cop' answered. I understand he might disagree with his helpful and professional wife not be happy but felt his customer care attitude was very poor in how he delivered the message. From asking a simple question, I now know that over Winter the site is just a 'one couple site' and at 8 pm the site suddenly becomes very unsafe to be out on and also that wardens are only paid for 42 hours per week. I appreciate that he wanted to observe strict standards however, left our booking intact and even found myself apologising for asking a question that a few minutes earlier was perfectly acceptable and agreed! When our friends arrived, ahead of us on the day however, the warden commented that they were with us - the people that wanted to arrive at 'some unearthly hour'. Not so keen to maintain strict standards when it comes to data protection strangely. Luckily I haven't lodged a formal complaint as I don't feel quite the same and like to maintain a modicum of flexibility. And we had already advised our friends of his and laughed at the pomposity earlier!

Not CC usual standard

The site was very clean and tidy, is in a good location, only 5 mins. drive from Chirk and 2 mins from Chirk castle. However, the approach road is riddled with pot holes, making the drive in quite uncomfortable. The toilet/shower block is clean but looking very tired and worn, an upgrade is overdue.

Pros: great for walkers Cons: access road

Access is easy except the 200 yard link from the road to the site which is badly potholed and could be patched up easily. 24/7 noise from the chipboard factory half a mile away. This noise is a constant sound which doesn’t change so you get used to it quickly and it didn’t disturb us at all. In fact it blanked out other distant noises so in a way the site seemed quiet when you consider how close it is to civilisation. You get occasional smells of chocolate from the chocolate factory half a mile away. Neither the smell nor noise would put us off visiting the site again. Site is in a great location for walkers. The canal is 5 minutes’ walk from the site entrance. The world heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is 3 miles along the towpath: a good half day walk. Llangollen canal starts 100 yards after the aqueduct. The site is on the edge of the National Trust Chirk Castle parkland with miles of walks. The railway station is 5 minutes’ walk from the site (good sized free carpark with through services to Chester, Wrexham, Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Birmingham and some services along the entire North Wales coast to Holyhead). Chirk is an attractive small town about 10 minutes’ walk from the site. This is the sort of site we prefer out of season. We’ll definitely go again. Didn’t use the toilet block.

A Good Week

Having visited the site on a number of occasions in summer and winter months , I have always found the site to be nice and peaceful. I notice there have some comments regarding the access road which does have a number of potholes , yes these do need sorting but by looking ahead it is possible not to hit these , the comments regarding the tiolet blocks I personally find strange , yes they may not be of the latest design but I have always found them clean and warm and have never had a problem with them not working. The site is very quite ( owls hooting at night ) , chirk has a number of shops ( the butcher and Green grocer are good ) , there are plenty of walks nearby and Chester is nice for a day trip ( £16:80 for 2 Adults return from chirk station ). A lovely site for a nice quite break , summer or winter.

A lady in waiting

This is a lovely small peaceful site well situated for the castle and local surroundings. I would love to visit again, the wardens were lovely but I titled this review because the showers are very poor on site when working and in need of updating. ps watch out for the potholes. Sorry CC but expect better from you.
