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 Try a few privately owned sites, you can then see what outdated facilities can be like.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.
