Jacob's shepherd's hut

Liked It was a beautiful place, lots of info from the host.

Helpful hosts, the Nordic hot tub was nice.

Disliked I did request something special for my partners birthday. The door was broken so didn’t shut properly. I had to ask for another electric heater, when the lady came to bring it she seemed really annoyed and said it wasn’t even cold? Which was annoying, made me feel like a moron for asking nicely to be warm overnight when it was 8 degrees outside. Tv didn’t work, no signal at all.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review !

Normally the Glamping units are all pre heated ready for when guests arrive ! As I explained on this occasion I thought it was rather warm & didn't need it ! We did bring an extra heater over straight away , but from what I could see you hadn't actually used it ? Bit confused about the broken door as I've just thoroughly checked it & It's fine ? I do apologise for the poor signal , as someone had interfered with the areal !

Many thanks

What customers say

This adults-only campsite is praised for its beautiful, tranquil setting by Colemere lake, offering direct access to lovely walks and local attractions. Guests appreciate the spacious, well-maintained pitches and the thoughtful communal facilities, including a social hub with kitchen amenities. The owners are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and accommodating. While the site is generally very clean, some mention that the shower and toilet facilities could benefit from updating, and WiFi signal can be intermittent. The natural surroundings and abundant wildlife are a significant draw.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Gorgeous setting, fabulous barn with really lovely touches - where campers can gather, play games, watch TV, get out of the rain and even make a cuppa. Such a lovely idea. And the thoughtfulness continued into the showers and toilets where there were lovely products and essentials for people to use. Super clean and beautifully maintained in a lovely area.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked This was a gem of a site as far as we were concerned. Beautiful landscaped pitches, wildlife all around, and a beautiful lake walk some 20 meters from our pitch. Everything was quirky and beautifully put together. Thought the communal hub was a great idea and would be great if it was raining or you didn’t feel like just staying in your camper. Weather was good when we visited which is always good but will definitely book again to experience all seasons.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The bathrooms were clean, and the bar was really cosy (when you could get in there). The walks from site are lovely, and the lady selling local honey on Saturday afternoon was a lovely touch.
There are plenty of bins all across the site which is great.

Disliked The check-in experience wasn't great: the owners are quite brash - one of my friends was even told off because she arrived 5 minutes before the end of check in times.
The owners spent the evening that we had arrived with regulars in the bar area - it felt like you were interrupting when going in to heat food; wasn't welcoming unfortunately.
There are few flat pitches, and the ground is incredibly rocky (all of my metal pegs are bent - only rock pegs worked)
There's no toilet or water facilities etc in the fields where you can pitch if you didn't book electric. It's about a 7/8 minute, quite steep walk to get to them, which is tricky when it's hot.

Liked Lovely relaxing place . Dave and Ingrid were lovely people very helpful. Ingrid was constantly back and forth cleaning toilets and shower blocks so the facilities were always clean which counts for a lot as we have been to some awful places .

Disliked Nothing to dislike about this place to be honest .

Local attractions

There's stacks to do in the surrounding area, whether you want to stick close to home by foot or pedal, or drive a bit further afield to the towns, tourist attractions and landscapes of Shropshire, Cheshire and north-east Wales – the city of Chester is 40 minutes away and Llangollen on the River Dee reachable within an hour. On the doorstep, tackle the two-mile walk along the canal towpath to Ellesmere or make your way via the purpose-built circular walk and through a wooded area of rhododendrons around the mere and nature reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest with species galore to see like otters, lapwings and water birds. The reserve also has several deep fishing pools well-stocked with catfish and big carp; more fishing – and carp – can be had nearby at Blackmere along the towpath from Colmere. Also nearby, wander into Colemere village to see the fifteenth-century thatched cottages, listed in the Domesday Book, to Ellesmere for food festivals, regattas and boat rides on the mere, or drive to Rednal Karting, Paintballing and Laser for an exciting time ten minutes away. Castles including Chirk and Whittington are a doddle to drive to too. If being on the water is your thing, a narrowboat marina is a three-minute drive away from the caravan park and both Colemere and Whitemere sailing clubs are within easy reach. By car, the standard of whitewater rafting at Bala Adventure and Watersports will have you foaming at the mouth – a milder form of the sport, along with abseiling, gorge walking, a steam railway and horse-drawn boat trips is available over the border in Wales at Llangollen.
