Visited again the 1st week in May and great as usual. Thought I would comment that the ‘fast track’ worked fine, albeit I was delinquent in speedily texting my pitch number! Will remember next time!!
As ever, first class, friendly wardens. Thank you.
Disappointing
We decided to stay at this site on our way back from North Wales. The site is pleasant enough but it is far from perfect as many of the reviews seem to suggest.
Firstly despite the recent refurbishment Wi-Fi is still not available.
Secondly the TV reception is poor. Unlike most other sites there is not even the option to boost the signal with an external aerial point as these are not available on the EHU.
Thirdly many of the pitches are located quite a distance from the nearest EHU so that our cable, which we have used in dozens of other sites without difficulty, was too short. It was clear that others had the same problem as we witnessed vans driving onto pitches and then having to move off to another pitch. When I pointed this out to the wardens they denied that there was a problem which given our observations was clearly not the case.
Finally and probably most significant is that the site is located adjacent to an industrial complex causing both noise and environmental pollution. The noise from the complex is audible on some pitches throughout the night.
In summary this site is fine but it does have some significant drawbacks and I think a sense of proportionality necessary as there are far better sites than this.
Another lovely stay
The site is so well organised (apologies for accidently running over a just repaired kerb) and the facilities are excellent. It is also very convenient for Chirk Castle, transport links to Wrexham, Chester, Shrewsbury, Llangollen, walks and bike riding (particularly along the canal). Easy to find too!
A cracking site
We stayed several nights here late March. Despite the lousy weather the site was pretty full but it didn’t feel crowded as the pitches are well spaced out.
The fully serviced pitch we’d booked was excellent and in good order. The pitch was large and came complete with picnic table and brick BBQ area (not used due to weather but a boon when it’s warmer and sunny).
The recently refurbished facilities were the very best and carefully split so that even when cleaning was taking place facilities were still available.
Add in welcoming and friendly staff and you have a perfect site.
As for Chirk itself it’s a lovely place with lots to see locally with good pubs & restaurants.
Excellent Site
We stayed here for a week 14th to 21st March 2023. We loved the whole experience. The renovations to the site are fantastic. The shower block has underfloor heating, is tastefully decorated and there is a divider to close off part of the shower block so there are facilities available during cleaning times.
The staff are friendly and welcoming. They work hard to keep the site looking perfect.
Electric car charging points are available. A lovely children's paly area near the amenities block.
A nice walk into Chirk were there is a butchers and greengrocers, both are excellent. The Teddy Bears Tearooms are great for a meal, afternoon teas or just a coffee. The Tearooms have a knitting wool shop attached and the selection of wools is huge. I wasn't able to resist buying some.
There are walks along the Llangollen Aqueduct with lovely view. Chirk station is close by with regular trains to Chester.
All in all a really perfect spot. We will certainly be back.
A Really Good Location
We had never stayed at this site and we were looking for a stopping point on our way to Mt Snowdon. What a delightful find this was. Easily accessible, well designed, very modern, all hardstanding and in such a brilliant location for NT Chirk Castle, Chirk Aquaduct and Tunnel, Pontcysyllte Aquaduct and Llangollen etc.
We stayed in late March and had a superb hardstanding pitch with everything we needed close by. For those, like us, with a motorhome there are two very good corner type Spar shops in Chirk, a Catholic Church and miles of towpath walking and exploring. I cannot fault this site, it was virtually full and very quiet in late March. We will return. It is also well placed just off the A5 if you are heading to North Wales, or to spend time in this very attractive part of Wales. Our satellite and Smarty SIM cover for broadband was all very good.
Flagship Site
An attractive site with good size pitches and plenty to do without driving anywhere. Excellent rail and bus links, walking and cycling along the Shropshire Union Canal and NT Chirk Castle on the doorstep. We are already planning what we are going to do when we revisit.
Our Favourite and such excellent Wardens
Agree with all the plaudits, but just wanted to add an extra gold star for the wardens. Always friendly and helpful.
We were particularly grateful for their help earlier this week with dealing with the snow !
Just perfect and immaculate. Plus there's a hint of chocolate in the air......
Have to say that this is the best site ever.
We've been on a few sites and this has to top them all.
We understand from talking to the warden, that is was only opened in December due to the refurbishment. I have to say that it's amazing. We like the new design to the shower/toliet block. No more need of closing the whole block off whilst cleaning.
Pitches felt bigger. The accessible (family) room was bigger and I couldn't fault it.
It's a beautiful campsite and with two little ones, they enjoyed the playground and grounds.
Short walk away is the Llangollen canal "Chirk Bank". Wonderful walk, you get to see the Chirk Viaduct, walking along the Aqueduct we headed toward The Poachers Pub. A great stop off for a bite of lunch.
Chirk castle is also a walk away.
Wardens are so friendly and welcoming.
We would definitely be going back as we haven't seen everything that Chirk and the surrounding areas have to offer.
Our favourite site
This is our favourite site , we live close by and visit here approx 5 times a year. The refurbished facility block is top draw, instant hot water and heated floors. Because of the clever design the block does not need closing for cleaning and is always open. Next door is the grounds of Chirk castle which are great for walking your dog and bird watching. The Llangollen canal which leads to the world heritage site of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is 5 mins walk away. Not all is great though, the club wifi is appalling and the TV signal is poor. I'm amazed the club didn't address these 2 issues when the site was closed for the 13 month refurb.
