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 offers a peaceful rural escape with stunning views and abundant wildlife. Visitors praise the spacious, well-maintained pitches, clean facilities, and the welcoming, helpful hosts, Dave and Ingrid. Direct access to beautiful walks around the mere and canal, a cosy communal area, and a relaxed atmosphere are frequently highlighted. While most found no faults, some noted narrow access roads, occasional issues with pitch levelling, and Wi-Fi coverage limitations. Hot tub hire and fire pit availability were appreciated extras.

Route directions

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.
