Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A lovely quite site with some lovely local walks along the canal and through the surrounding villages. I would recommend a walk to the Navigation inn ( about 15 minutes from site) to sample a great array of home cooked food. The close by tea rooms which is situated on the canal side is also a lovely location for a walk out. The site was clean and well maintained , we were greeted with great customer service at reception on arrival with access to a fridge and freezer which was an added bonus in the warm weather .I am sure we will return next summer.

Fantastic weekend.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Excellent. We dont usually return to the same campsite but this would definitely be a consideration. We have had a fantastic weekend. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the chickens and ducks and they were safe to roam around.
Disliked Not a complaint but would benefit from another shower.

Excellent site with clean facilities, proactive owner, level pitches.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had a wonderful stay here, a truly family-friendly site with such a welcoming atmosphere. The owner couldn’t do enough for us (or the site!), always going above and beyond. We often saw her in and out of the shower/toilet block, making sure everything was spotless and standards were consistently kept high. The whole site is beautifully maintained with little homely touches and thoughtful signs throughout.
Security was excellent too, with a padlocked gate that gave us real peace of mind to let our child roam freely. Although we didn’t use them, there’s a fridge/freezer available and a handy snack bar for little treats. Our child absolutely loved the chickens and ducks on site , especially when a few managed to wander over the fence! Picnic benches are also available, which made it lovely to sit outside together.
We did mention a hole on one of the pitches that could have been a health and safety issue, and the owner immediately acknowledged it and assured us it would be dealt with promptly, which really showed how proactive and caring she is.
All in all, a beautifully run site with a fantastic owner, perfect for families. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely return

The host was lovely and nothing was a problem 😃
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be returning! The facilities were basic but great! It was our first time camping with no electric hookup but the only thing we needed was to charge our phones and this was provided within one bathroom (bring your charges) The Children loved the chickens! And the hire of the fire-pits were a lovely touch! We brought our own coolbox, but fridge and a freezer was available to store things! The campsite is a 5 minute drive from Oswestry or buses run outside the site located on the main road. Perfect weekend!
Disliked The signal was very poor with EE - nothing to do with the campsite! So take plenty of games and activities to entertain the children instead of youtube 😂
