Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Site layout, plenty of space & open field. Shop on site Close to Tattenhall Village Marina & Ice Cream factory Will definitely return to this site

Disliked: Due to recent rain there was some flooding. Suggestion - 1- children climbing frame, play area would be nice. 2- Turning area at the end of the gravel path to encourage cars & caravans to stay off the water logged grass.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We’ve stayed here with friends and as a family. We have a 2 year old and a 13 year old. 2 year old is happy to just play all day and 13 year loves fishing. It’s close to the ice cream farm and close to a fishery. Everyone is happy. Site is clean, facilities are clean. Staff are friendly. Has a little on site shop. We’ve enjoyed it that much we’ve booked it again!

From the manager: It was an absolute pleasure to host you Andrea and we're really pleased you had a lovely time with us. We look forward to welcoming you next time. Have a great rest of the camping season!

Local attractions

If one ever needed a good reason to go out for a country walk, it’s present here in the shape of The Ice Cream Farm, the biggest ice cream-themed adventure park in the world and a half-hour walk away. Hikers should make a beeline for the Sandstone Trail, a 34-mile route starting around a 10-minute drive from the site. You needn’t walk the entire length; pick up a booklet locally for info on shorter sections that take in views of castles, fields and hills before depositing you for a well-earned drink at a pub. If you’d prefer to explore on horseback, there’s a riding centre 10 minutes’ walk from the site that can organise treks for all abilities. For a spot of history, take a trip to one of the nearby castles, such as Beeston Castle (10 minutes), a medieval structure set on top of a cliff, surrounded by a 40-acre woodland park and with some far-reaching views on clear days. Gothic beauty Cholmondley Castle is a little further away at 15 minutes and has nature trails, play areas and a farm shop as well as some gorgeous gardens to wander around.
