Bin men and baked potatoes!

Just returned from lady Margaret s park. We had a great time despite the weather being a bit mixed. This looks like for us being a regular fixture in our annual calender. But each time we visit we learn little things that make our stay better. These are, not to pitch on the upper Dell because the factory noise, hardly noticeable in the main park. Check tv signal with a meter cos some pitches will give BBC or ITV. But not both. Pitches in the middle better. Fri and sat was baked potato night this week and is recommended. On our Monday morn departure we came face to face with a bin lorry on the road leading to the high st.?? our standard width elddis just made it. ?? so there you go! . Enjoy.

Great site in a great location

I had tried to stop overnight here while travelling south, but the site was full, so I felt lucky to get a pitch on my return journey. I was very impressed with the site: although it is large, the layout is such that the wooded areas have quite a peaceful atmosphere. Facilities were good, and very clean - up to the usual standard. The road in is a bit pot-holed, but I didn't find this a problem in a campervan. Other reviewers have complained about the noise from the factory: I noticed it when I was out in the evening, but it seemed far less loud on the opposite (south) side of the park; I didn't notice any noise overnight, and there was none in the morning. The location is great - I was able to cycle along the canal to Pontcysyllte, and into Chirk. Chirk centre is about a mile away, and has a selection of shops, and a choice of places to eat and drink. Chirk Castle (or the estate, to be accurate!) is right beside the site and offers lots of things to see and do. I thought this was a great site, and I hope to return before very long.

Not impressed

Stayed at this site for the first time, what a disappointment !! As mentioned in other reviews the road leading up to the site is a disgrace, it carn't be doing anyone's caravans any good. Although it is a part wooded site, we found the pitches untidy and scruffy looking. Chester is closed for a refurb, but the money would have been better spent here, apart from this the wardens were friendly, as are 99% of them.

We will return

A very enjoyable stay at this well located site. Yes the facilities are dated and yes there is some background noise from the nearby factory but neither of these really impacted on our stay. Lots to do in the area, we especially enjoyed cycling along the towpath to Llangollen and beyond. Couldn't really understand why grass pitches were not in use particularly as April has been very dry and given that site was full for much of our stay the CC must have lost some income, which could have been spent on repairing the access road. Come on CC there really is no excuse for such a potholed access.

overall a great site

Visited here late April 2015, and, on the whole, we think it is a great site in a wonderful location. However. The toilet block is very dated and, whilst generally clean, it is not up to the club's standards at all. As far as I can see the road is fine and is not something to get excited about, but the showers being only a dribble, that is. We like the area so much, we would go back, but would enjoy it so much more if the facilities were up to date.

Worthy of a longer stay

Our stay here was the weekend after Easter on route to North Wales. Despite being very busy, the site, due to it's layout, did not give the appearance of being full. Facilities were up to the normal CC standard, even if a bit dated, like ourselves. Much has been made of the state of the road but it's no worse than the series of road humps that greet you at some sites and is fine if taken at a slow speed. After arrival we had a short walk over the aqueduct, back into England and then into Chirk via the canal tunnel. A torch is advisable as it's fairly long and there are no lights. The butchers in Chirk sells excellent bara brith. The next day we walked to Chirk Castle (National Trust). Well worth a visit and a reasonably easy 3 to 4 mile circular walk from the site. But make sure you get your tickets before you walk up to the castle, otherwise you will have to do it twice, as we did. Looking at the map several other good walks are available from the site but alas no time. We will have to visit again.

A tired Site

My family and I have been going to this site for 6 years. But this time and the previous time very disappointed by. 1 Main road up to site is like a road from a war film. 2 Only one toilet block open. 3 Main toilet block very dated and dirty, light fitting full of dirt and flies roof fans full of fluff. 4 Shower heads a waste of time not sure if I even got wet. I get it its to save water but all I did was stay in longer. 5 Children,s play area is very poor also it is on a mud surface, so then go into toilet blocks making floors dirty and our awning. One positive site wardens are great. Come on caravan club you are letting members and wardens down.

Great time

A very enjoyable stay.staff excellent and very helpful. Only negative comment is the condition of the road leading up to the park, but I understand that this work will be done this winter when the park is being developed. We visit the site every year and will go there again this year.

Disappointed

We have visited this site many times before with no complaints. After a few years break from the site, we visited there for the Easter break our first outing this year. We were very disappointed that the site had not been kept up to date and in line with many other sites we have been to. There also seemed to be a distinct lack of maintenance on the road leading up the site. The road is a minefield of potholes that we had to navigate through to reach the site. The toilet block is in desperate need of being updated, no power to the showers, very small showers, not the cleanest and the additional block was CLOSED, so really there wasn't enough showers for the site. The park for the Children has never been great at Lady Margaret's its even more apparent now that this area together with others really does need to change. Have to say we shall not be going back to this site until it is improved and feel that our visit to this site spoilt our first outing of the year :-( On a positive note the Wardens were very nice and friendly so this is more of a note for the Club!

A relaxing retirement break

This was our second visit having enjoyed the site last year. Although it was a very wet and windy few days the site was sheltered and we seemed to be well protected from the strongest gusts. Wardens were very efficient and pleasant and the facilities were spotless. Showers in the ladies' block were lacking in power and disappointing but the men's, I am told, were excellent. We live in North Wales and still found plenty of new things to do in this area especially in poor weather. Some good cycling and walking areas as well as interesting places to visit. This is the only site that we have returned to and intend to come back as it such a lovely peaceful environment. Eating out doesn't offer much choice within walking distance but there are some great places a bit further afield.
