  • Well-equipped countryside park 12 miles from Chester
  • Award-winning amenities, plenty of space and Chester Zoo ticket sales
  • Seasonal pool, fishing lakes, tennis, play area, games and café
Some people prefer to keep their holidays very basic and remote indeed. Some people do not – and seek a spot with excellent leisure facilities, spotless amenities and customer-friendly approach… the better to get on with the important aspects of a holiday without stressing about the essentials. If this too is you, make your way to Manor Wood Country Park in green Cheshire countryside, where there’s loads to do on site, and where the amenities are so immaculate they’ve been given awards. Off site is pretty pleasing too, as Manor Wood is an easily accessible 25 minutes’ drive from Chester, Chester Castle and Chester Racecourse – and Chester Zoo, so say the kids, who’ll doubtless point out that their grownups can buy zoo tickets on site too. The park is in a nicely rural setting, home to two fishing lakes that adults and families can cast off at, and to a vast range of leisurely options indoors and out. The outdoor pool is open from the beginning of May through to September (whatever the weather), a climbing frame and play area are in the grounds and a games room with pool, table football and table tennis is indoors to take care of any inclement times. Back outside, tennis courts are available free of charge to all customers. A minute’s drive or half a mile’s stroll from Coddington, Manor Wood is surrounded by Cheshire and Nottinghamshire villages to pick up local produce and picnic bits and pieces. Make time/room too for a foray to the Lakeside Café on several occasions during your stay, for breakfast, snacks and light lunches to have indoors or outside while the kids investigate the play area; the café building also has free wifi, takeaway options and a small shop selling essentials and caravan supplies. Dogs are welcome too... so much so that they have their own section on the menu... Those who prefer things just a little quieter on their countryside holiday are invited to book from Monday to Friday in low season, to soak up the peaceful Cheshire surrounds in a more peaceful manner.

What customers say

Highly recommended, clean, well-kept site with friendly staff. Loved the heated outdoor pool, play areas, and games room. Great for families, safe and spacious. Minor points on toilet hygiene and cafe hours, but most reviews are very positive and people want to return.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Stayed for two nights in our motor home with 2 children 4 & 10. We were on a gravel pitch directly opposite the park, which I will say was brilliant, this park was fab for both children! Especially the big slide on there! Pool is small, clean and tidy and perfect for its use, wasn’t cold-booking was done on reception for a 45 minute slot. The dog walk around the perimeter is a welcome bonus, you’ll see plenty of wildlife, including some rather large hare’s! Toilet and showering facilities were clean, the family shower we used in the ladies was very helpful with having two showers and plenty of space to change.
Park overall is nice and quiet, everyone we came across was lovely! My children would return tomorrow, so I’d say we will be making a return visit!

Disliked The only downside to the stay would be the amount of wasps, so id recommend taking some fly spray, as the amount of them was like nothing I’ve seen on our pitch. Obviously this is nothing on the park, just a little tip for anyone to keep in mind.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked In a whole I really liked the site. It was well laid out, and the spacing between tents seemed well thought out. The toilets for the pitching area, were clean, and well kept. The washup/showering area, near the pool, were modern, clean, and not far from the tenting area. There were two wash stations, one inside and another outside. The wash room housed a fridge and freezer for guests to us. Nothing caught my eye as being out of place, the swimming pool was nice, both in it's temperature and it's cleanliness. (The pool needs to be booked in advance).

I liked, the tennis court although I never used it. The Café was nice, the shop was adequate, didn't have too much to be honest and the onsite milk, was nice, and convenient.

The two play grounds were handy to occupy our daughter, and the pounds/lakes on site added to it's charm.

The Wi-Fi at pitch is a bonus.

Disliked The Wi-Fi did drop out frequently, but honestly Mobile service on and around site, (at least for O2) was enough to make this more of an inconvenience rather than a complaint!

The milk with its automated filling station, was expensive, although convenient.

My only other gripe was that the pitching area for our tent was next to a tree, which in itself wasn't a problem, there was a lot, of dried dog poo, around the base of the tree. It had been there along while by how dry it was, so it is obvious on this occasion, that the pitching area wasn't checked thoroughly enough!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Pool, fishing, walks, milkshakes and ice cream vending. Very friendly reception staff. Very well kept site. Great new toilet block. We had a lovely peaceful pitch.

Disliked Noisy groups of kids late particularly weekends and over population of pool even though booking system in place. Needs supervision in high season.

Liked The heated pool is great. Play areas are very well looked after. The showers and toilets are very tidy. The nature walk is great for younger children with information signs about the animals. The new milk vending machines for shakes and ice cream are a real hit with everyone we talked to and our little boy. Free WiFi is lovely.

Disliked Struggling to find fault.

Local attractions

There’s plenty to do around Manor Wood for those days you’re not mooching around Chester (although do mooch around Chester for some considerable time too.) Drive about five minutes’ south for walks around the green space lying between Stretton and Clutton; a golf course and Stretton Watermill are here to stop off at. Beeston Castle, 20 minutes’ drive away just outside Tarporley, is a site of fortress ruins on a sandstone plain with spectacular views – across eight counties and over to Wales. Kids now revolting after watermill and castle time? The rides, farm and many flavours of The Ice Cream Farm adventure park are within 15 minutes’ drive.
