What customers say
Guests love the quiet, clean shepherd's huts, well-equipped for short stays with canal views. The site is tidy with friendly staff. The Marina cafe gets good reviews. Showers are a short walk but spotless with hot water. Mobile signal is weak and bedside tables were missed, but it's a recommended peaceful escape.

Foxes Den shepherd's hut (pet friendly, double)
Liked What a fabulous place to stay!
The huts are thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything that we needed for a lovely weekend, including fire wood for a BBQ, camping chairs and everything we needed for washing up.
The location beside the canal and near the marina is very peaceful, with some great walks on the doorstep and interesting places to visit nearby (the Grocott Heritage Centre was really interesting!).
The facilities are really not far from the huts and are very clean.
Everyone was very helpful and friendly and accommodating.
We cannot recommend the accommodation highly enough.

Bee Happy shepherd's hut (no pets, double)
Liked Very cute accomodation, basic but is as advertised. We really enjoyed our weekend here and there are lots of beauty spots in the area to see. The cafe was lovely too. We also had a problem during but it was dealt with very quickly!
Disliked Not neccicarily a dislike but the toilets/shower are a little walk from the accommodation and sometimes a bit busy

Simply amazing. Do it ❤️
Bee Happy shepherd's hut (no pets, double)
Liked I had the best time. Staying in a shepherd hut all on my lonesome. I had a microwave a kettle and a fridge. A very comfortable bed and a picnic bench and a fire pit which I lit on my last night and ate my tea by. Lots of lovely wildlife around, canal walks and a wonderful cafe where I had my lunches. I felt very safe and proud that I had stayed all alone. A tick on my bucket list to have stayed alone somewhere. I would definitely return here. So peaceful and inviting. Very clean and accommodating. Thank you Whixall Marina. ‘I’ll be back’ ❤️

Foxes Den shepherd's hut (pet friendly, double)
Liked Campsite was spotless
Breakfast was lovely
Shower block spotless cleaner in by 0800 daily. Showers hot.
Accomodation clean comfortable bed
Watch the white owl flying around.
Disliked Breakfast price misleading with the item add ons etc. shouldn't have to pay a set price if you just want 2 poached eggs that would cost £5. Some families budget and this would really hit there pocket hard on the first day of holiday.
The bushes at the back need to he cut down on the foxes den kept us up smacking the shepherds hut with the wind and unsettled one of my dogs.

Excellent shepherds huts with all you could wish for a relaxing break.
Quackin' Up shepherd's hut (pet friendly, twin)
Liked Excellent hut, decent beds, enough space for 2 and everything you could require for a short break or weekend. Toilet/shower facilities a sort walk away, which were spotless and as we were the only residents in the huts over the weekend we were there, it was pretty much private too. Plenty of great dog walks available, nice cafe in the marina, very relaxing and highly recommended.
