Great as Always...

This has to one of our favourite sites and indee this was our 6th visit, and little has changed in all these years. The site is well laid out, with generous pitch sizes and ease of access to all areas. The toilets are still immaculate, thyanks to the wardens, but are starting to show their age a little. Looking a little tired now. The wardens are some of the friendliest we've ever come across and indeed helped me out of a very tricky spot for which I'm exceedingly grateful. The walks around this site are great and a walk along the canal (only 5 minutes away) is a must. Good little kid's play area in among the trees so very safe. If you're a dog owner, you're spoilt for choice. A good dog walk just outside the site, a walk up to the castle (mind the sheep) or down to the canal to let them run. Excellent. Chirk has everything you're likely to need but if you want some heavy retail terapy, the local train station is only 10 minute walk away and you can get a train right into Chester. Nice to see that some of the site is being left to grow a bit wilder but tyat means lots of rabbits. Still. they're fun to watch.  Definitely a site to be returned to once again in the not too distant future.

Run rabbit run

We stayed here for two nights as part of a tour of Wales.  It was a beautiful little site.  Site access was easy for all vehicle sizes and the pitches were a decent size.  Toilet block was a little dated but clean.  Site was well kept and the wardens were friendly.  Bizarrely, considering the place is running wild with rabbits and squirrels, we met 7 other lurchers whilst out walking with our 2 lurchers.  Funny how we all ended up on a site with so many things for them to want to chase.  But it just made for a talking point and got us laughing about it.  The wildlife certainly did not cause any other problems, just a source of entertainment out of our caravan window.  Considering we had just been to another area of Wales that really did have terrible TV reception this site held the TV reception much better than the previous site and WiFi was perfect if you paid for it.  There were so many things to see in the locality we could not fit it all in in such a short stay so would love to return but we drove through Llangollen which looked beautiful with its bunting covered streets, boat trips and steam train and the aqueduct walk.  We did, however, walk to Chirk Castle from the site which was direct access onto the Castle grounds from just outside the site entrance.  It was a wonderful walk and we managed a 5 mile walk around the perimeter of the castle without having to pay any admission fee. It would have been nice if we could have got access to the castle tearooms but you had to pay access to the castle and walled gardens to get to them and, obviously with dogs that are not allowed in any further than the tearoom, that was not really an option.  All in all a lovely little site and we would love to return to explore the area more in the future.

Great Site

Had a great long weekend at St Margarets, fantastic location for walking and cycling along the Llangollen canal and around Chirk Castle. Note the castle is a good mile and a half walk if you intend to do as a secondary activity! Facillities are far better than I expected after reading the other reviews, no TV coverage though so had to miss the British GP!! :-( Great for kids as well. Only gripe really was I felt penalised for having to work for a living, late arrival means at such a popular site it was wet soggy grass in a 4ton motorhome (no thanks) or wherever it would fit. I moved the next morning easy enough but I think the ability to reserve a pitch must be something for the club to look at. I will definitely go again though. The pontcysyllte aqueduct is a must visit!

Great location

A wonderful quiet site which we will visit again as it is close to so many places to visit including Chirk castle. It is almost perfect but TV reception is non existent but I was by trees and WIFI is also poor. Having said that a weekend away from the world can't be all that bad

Watership Down.

Just back from another visit to Lady Margaret's. We love this site. Perfect in every way. I understand the facilities are due to be updated, which is needed I agree, but have to praise the wardens, who do an exceptional job.   There are wonderful walks from the site, especially over the viaduct into Chirk Bank and up to Chirk Castle, and many other beautiful places to visit in the area. Bunnies galore too! Not kidding when we call it the Welsh Watership Down. PLEASE CC, when are we going to get free wifi !!!  It's a crazy state of affairs having to pay for something so freely available in most other places.

Last site on our Tour

We found the site with ease following the directions in the SD and had a warm welcome from the wardens. First impressions of the site were a bit disappointing, just rows of caravans and no views to speak of, but it could have been because we had just come from a fab CL with only 4 vans onsite & great views. We couldn't hear the factory from where we are pitched but it was noticeable from the other side of the site. There is a footpath from the site to the canal & Chirk, which has a good butchers, bakers and traditional green grocers together with a small supermarket. The showers on site although clean had no  pressure and so the water was little more than a dribble. From reading the other reviews the block is due to be updated so hopefully this will be sorted. We really liked the area, but don't think we would we use this site again, would probably find a CL in the area.

Weekend stop over

We used this site as a stop over while on our way further up North. We entirely agree with all the comments about the toilet block but as we read in the visitors book that the site is due a toilet block upgrade so it is in hand & we felt sorry for the wardens who keep the site beautiful despite the old facilities. We pitched in the wooded area which was fine for the two nights we stayed, at least the van was cool for our dog who enjoyed watching all the rabbits & squirrels as his own TV ! We were aware of the factory noise at first but we soon forgot it ( it's a bit like the hum of central heating - we thought ? ) The surrounding area is lovely & we enjoyed walking the dog along the canal & crossing the many viaducts. We would like to come back for longer to explore further & hopefully by then the promised upgrade on the toilet block will be finished.

Quiet until the kids arrived

This site is just lovely. The facilities are clean, although they could do with a few more showers as they were very busy every morning. The wardens are very helpful and friendly and the site offers open and shaded pitches. There is a lot to do in the area and we stayed three nights and didn't move the van. The only problem with the site is rabbits, lots of them, and our dog likes chasing rabbits so had to be kept on a lead even when sat outside the van. Chirk castle is a lovely walk of about a mile and a half through the grounds which are on the edge of the site. We also cycled to Llangollen along the canal path. It was very quiet until Friday evening and kids arrived and they could be heard across the site. There is also noise from a nearby factory which goes on through the night, but it stopped bothering us after the first night. Great site, lovely location so we will be back.

Another 'will defo come again' site!!

We cannot fault this site at all. It was our 1st visit after recommendation from a fellow caravanner over 12 mths ago. We were very lucky to be pitched in the open area near to the reception and having walked around the site several times have decided our choice was a good one. The site for those that may have visited others is a mix between Park Coppice, Coniston in the Lake District and Wharfdale nr Grassington, Yorkshire. There are a couple of tree lined inlets, shaded, quite dark infact at this time of year, there are also open pitches both grass and hardstanding of very ample sizing.  I agree with some reviews that the facilities needing updating but read a horrendous comment slating of the wardens in the visitor book on site which i found to be rude and incorrect in it's statement. The loo's / showers were very clean, dated but extremely clean and if they do get dirty, I lay the blame at the feet of the patrons that use them and the wardens cannot control the personal hygiene issues of those people. For the dog walkers and ramblers, loads of off site walks. There are also lots of places of historical interest locally and of course the many canal walks and aquaducts. We will be back, it was nice to be amongst friendly faces, always a good morning from other people and the wardens were informative, polite and friendly. Word of warning, if you own a dog with the 'chase' instinct, 'on lead' is definately best owing to the vast amount of rabbits and squirrels about which were of course lovely to watch.

TIRED SITE

VISTED THIS SITE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 19 YEARS ,OVERALL THE SITE IS GENERALY GOOD BUT IS LET DOWN VERY BADLY BY EXTREAMLY TIRED TOILET BLOCK WHICH WAS CLOSED 50%OF THE TIME ON OUR RECENT VISIT. I FEEL THAT WE HAD BEEN SHORT CHANGED.CONSIDERING THAT THE SITE OPERATES ALL THROUGH THE YEAR AND THE SIZE IT WOULD PROVE BENIFICIAL TO ALL TO HAVE TWO TOILET BLOCKS SO IN THE EVENT OF HAVING TO CLOSE ONE THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE AVAILABLE.HOWEVER THE SITE IS WORTH A VISIT.
