We do love this site. We haven't been for a few years, and after this stay we wonder why we haven't been back sooner. The wardens were friendly and helpful, especially when we asked to stay an additional day. I can't comment on the shower block as we never use them. The site in general appears well kept, although in February, when people insist on driving over the grass, it can look in need of a bit of TLC. Location-wise, it is perfect. Yes you sometimes can hear a hum from a nearby factory, and there is sometimes a drinking chocolate smell from the nearby Cadbury factory. Chirk Castle is an easy walk/cycle, although in February half the castle is closed for cleaning/refurb. The National Trust really needs to make more effort in making these amazing buildings more interesting for visitors, it desperately needs more information notices and interactive displays. I'm glad we are members, as we would have been disappointed to have shelled out a fortune for what we experienced. That said, the castle is impressive, and the gardens are beautiful. The site is a mile or so from Chirk, which has great facilities for a small town/village. Try the Chirk Tandouri, the restaurant looks a little dated but the takeaway food we have had on various visits over the years has always been exceptional. The Castle Bistro is delightful, with lovely Italian food and various other options. It was very busy on a Saturday lunchtime. Chirk is only 20 minutes from beautiful Llangollen with so much for small boys to do. It reminds us of Sodor from Thomas The Tank Engine. Wrexham is a similar drive with a large Tesco, cinema and bowling alley, and most high street restaurants/stores. Lady Margaret's Park is well worth a visit. We will be back, but won't wait so long for a re-visit.
