nice site

a nice site in the woods, nice walks with the dog, close to the canals and canal boats, about a mile from the village and a mile and a half from the castle. The facilities are in dire need of an upgrade, the showers have very little water pressure and not enough room inside the cubicle.

A shame

Having stayed at many caravan club sites over the years I have grown to expect high standards with regard to the toilet blocks. Weekend 28th -31st August 2015 I booked lady Margaret's park in Chirk North Wales as it's one site I have never visited.  Accompanied by two guest. One of which is disabled I again expected high quality facilities especially as it's a busy popular site and paying over £100 for the weekend.  The site itself is In a great location but when it came to having a shower we were very disappointed.  It appeared dated and in need of a revamp along with no water pressure, it's a trickle at best.  Although the idea of a separate toilet annex is a great asset. On one occasion there were only 3 people in the shower blocks and the water dropped out half way through my wife's shower, leaving her to swap cubical to try and rinse off.  Not good caravan club !!! This was mentioned to the staff who were nice about it but offered no solution just the excuse of "it's bank holiday weekend and were full"  Poor excuse !!!! 21st century cc come on. If this was a hotel I would be asking for a refund of some sort. Can we please have some improvement ? Secondly, very poor tv signal, install tv points.  Please move with the times or you'll loose customers who pay a lot over the year.  Thanks Dave & Tracy.

Disappointing 2

We have stayed on this site 4 -5 times in the last 10 years. This is a popular site in a good location, but there is little evidence that the Club have spent any money on the site recently. The loo block is tired and in need of a re-refurbishment.   The shower controls were worn out with poor volume and temperature - and I was the only person having a shower!  TV reception poor, some pitches dirty and cramped.  Wardens however were very nice as usual, so please give this site a much needed up-grade !

Great location...but...kids play area is just a slide in a wooden frame, no TV reception at all on our pitch, bathrooms and showers are dirty with peeling paint and very tired, caravans crammed together with little space between.  Been to better listed sites for a 1/3 of the price.

Stop 3 on the Wales tour

Arriving at Lady Margaret's Park to a friendly welcome, usual well informed wardens. We found the facilities lacking, the floors were constantly covered in grass, the showers could do with some work, hardly any pressure in any of them. (I understand they have been earmarked for renovations). It is walking distance into Chirk, with its shops & pubs and various eateries. 2 recommendations are the Anisa Indian take away, (deliver to site free of charge) and the Butcher, we bought some lovely produce for a very reasonable price.

One Night Stay in Lady Margaret's Park

We only stayed here for one night in August but we found it pleasant enough. We were in the wooded Primrose area which had a spacious feel. There is a really good dog walk and our son enjoyed hanging out around the castle play area which was in a nice grassy area with picnic benches. There are lots and lots of rabbits on this site! This might be an issue for you if you have a dog that goes mental at the site of them. We would stay here again but probably for no more than a few nights.

Disappointed

Stayed here for 5 nights with our grand daughter. Very poor pitch. A hard standing which had lost much of its gravel thus in poor weather we trod a lot of mud into van. This pitch was one of many in this state. It was also under trees which have not been looked after so van and awning got very dirty. The club maintains all pitches are equal. Not here, some are very poor and some grass pitches are very very poor. Again it is typical of many club sites with the bare minimum of water points so a long way to go to complete daily chores. Also huge expanses of grass around toilet blocks but no paths across.  Entrance road is diabolical. Has a speed hump but not needed potholes do a first class job. Very congested around office and wardens don't seem to recognise this so on several occasions we had to queue because vans were blocking both in and out roadways Play area very mediocre. All in all we felt it was not value for money and will not be returning until we hear of some major improvements

Enjoyable Break

We stayed here for 3 nights in early August and can't believe some of the negative comments left. For a start, if you don't like rabbits, don't come out into the country. The wildlife was wonderful especially the Nuthatch that used to sit and call right outside our window. Look where you're going, the countryside is made up of uneven ground for various reasons. As a child we'd sit on commons, on a blanket for picnics, there would be rabbit droppings everywhere. We didn't mind, guess what, no one was either ill, or died. We chose to be in Bluebell Dell. More shady but lots of space. The Wardens, unlike a review I read before we went, were as friendly and helpful as you could wish to meet. As for the complaints about the showers. I give up! Yes, there are far more modern blocks in the CC, around the UK. But do you honestly think every place can be upgraded at the same time? When we started on our 10 month tour of the UK, just 2 years ago, this type of block was standard in many, many sites. It was clean, adequate and I, with extremely long hair, found the water pressure adequate to wash and condition my hair, at 8am. A popular time. Try a few privately owned sites, you can then see what outdated facilities can be like. The walks along the canal are lovely and the walk up to Chirk Castle, enjoyable but beware, it is uphill, virtually all the way. PS. Yes, I agree, the shower drains do smell a little gassy.

Refurb of shower block required

We love this site and it's location but the shower block and toilets are well overdue a makeover.  Tired, outdated and smell a bit damp.  We would like to see these facilities improved, although we have to say the wardens do keep them clean, it's not their fault.
