Liked Really lovely welcoming people.
Great distance for a lovely walk into Ellesmere.
Owner drove over to us with his cat to drop the firepit and wood off.
Snug lovely and cosy and you can use everything in there to keep food or cold products fresh.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Wonderful site - I loved it and will definitely be back. It wasn’t busy when I stayed but if I was travelling at a busy time I’d book an electric pitch to ensure I got a flat pitch. The communal area is fab - every campsite should have one! Beautiful walks around the meres right from the gate.

Disliked Having to leave :(

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked My husband said the facilities looked clean. Nice flat communal area, perhaps let vans park there, no danger of rolling out of bed!

Disliked We booked for a non electric campervan pitch, on arrival we drove onto the field and there wasn't a flat or even flatish place to park, the field is totally unsuitable for vans. You can't use your own firepit, it has to be rented even though listing has firepits allowed. Toilets are a hike away from the field also. We stayed in a pub carpark instead.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Rose ,

Thanks for your review , In actual fact , If you look properly , there's about 14 flat pitches , there's three on your immediate left as you enter the field , 40 m from the toilets which you must have driven passed ???? Fire pits are available for £15.00 which covers insurance [ which we have to pay ] For that you get the fire pit, grass protector ,wood , kindling & fire lighters , some make it last two or three night or you can just purchase more wood , !

Many thanks

Dave

The best approach is from the A528 (Ellesmere to Shrewsbury road), then following the Satnav postcode SY12 0QL or What3words (divided.wished.relatives). You should come to an old-fashioned crossroad. Go down Mill Lane. The site is just over 250 metres on the right. Follow the brown signs to SY12 0QL.

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.
