Newnes Touring Caravan Park

Liked We’re fairly local to the site and are familiar with its location. However, we were pleasantly surprised with just how nice it is. The site is divided into 3 fields which makes it feel quite cosy and no doubt helps shelter it from the wind being in an elevated position. We were put up in the corner of the third field which gave us an excellent view of the surrounding countryside. We were placed adjacent to the recently constructed excellent shower and toilet block which was convenient and quite secluded. The hard standing was nice, level and easy to manoeuvre into, within easy reach of the hook up. We looked down over the fishpond and towards Ellesmere which is within easy walking distance with a gate from field 3 leading directly towards it. Apart from one recent housing estate, that was at quite a distance Ellesmere is nevertheless hardly visible and you do feel like you’re out in the countryside. Noise from the road wasn’t intrusive. Robin the owner who came to say hello and collect the balance of his fee was friendly, approachable and informative.

Being quite late season and a lot of the site housing seasonal pitches for touring caravans, the vibe was very quiet and chilled. This is an ‘adult only’ site so should still be pretty mellow even in the school holidays.

In the evening we walked into Ellesmere and had a nice Indian meal at the Asian Spice restaurant and in the afternoon just chilled at the campsite. All in all a nice experience and it felt like a proper mini getaway even though we are very familiar with Ellesmere. A different perspective I guess!

Disliked Very little. A shame about the new housing estate slightly spoiling the view but that’s progress I guess?!

Liked Lovely adults only site. The toilets and shower blocks are immaculate and the owner very helpful. We arrived a bit early, but he still allowed us on the pitch. A short walking distance into Ellsmere, we ate in the red lion, the food was good and large potions. They had a pool table and darts in the back room and there is also an outside seating area. Would definitely recommend staying at this campsite.

Liked Good well spaced flat pitches, clean toilet and shower blocks. Local vendors arrived at the pitch Friday evening selling honey and meats. Short walk into town. Water and electric points close to pitches.

Disliked Dogs barking and off leads at times despite signs stating to keep them on leads but nothing to do with the site.

Liked Nice site, well spaced out , owners really nice, can't comment on shower block as did not use, only 20min walk into town, easy route, sheep cows horses to look at ,honey lady came one day selling items, and the butcher van came too, pizza sometimes on site , kebab house and chinese take away dlv for small cost , overall a very pleasant stay and very reasonably on price

Disliked Only thing we thought is the hedges/trees on sharp bend passed the farm coming in on the right could be trimmed to make it a little clearer for coming in and stop catching caravan, but could be due to time of year so not allowed to cut them, apart from that nothing else

Liked Amazing site. We were in field 1, great views. Site is lovely, quiet, clean and plenty of room on pitches. Had a local butcher, lady with honey and there was supposed to be a pizza guy but sadly he couldn’t make it. Toilets and showers are clean and tidy, just what you need. 10/10 all round.

Liked The owner was very nice and the facilities were good with excellent views across the countryside. We were in Field 1 and the pitches hard and grass standing were very spaced.
The site was quiet and the walk into Ellesmere across the field was nice, lovely to go into a currently unspoilt market town.

Disliked Not enough light in the dishwashing area and concern with very hot water - no hot water signs. Would have been nice to have option of wifi

Will definitely be back

Disliked Nothing

Liked Loved the peace and quiet, we were met by Robin, who, after explaining the site layout , offered us a choice of pitches in field one. He even offered us help setting up when he noticed that I was disabled. Whilst this offer was politely declined, we did ask for recommendations regarding eating out in Ellesmere, and I would urge everyone to consider his advice !!!!

Disliked Nothing to dislike on this superbly run site

Liked Nice and quiet site, clean and spacious toilets and shower block. Great views across the countryside.

Disliked Field 3 is next to an A road which can sometimes be quite noisy.
