  • 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.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked What a fabulous pitch we was in walking distance of 2 blocks of toilets a pot washing place the laundered am amazing swimming pool my boy absolutely loved this the tennis courts the kids lived to throw frizbies and all kinds over, I loved the milkshake bar it started to rain so we has an ice cream and milkshake and took some board games in there it was heated aswel. My boy lived the play park especially because it had sand j would 100 percent come here again it's only 45mins away my boy had such a great time he cried when we was leaving didn't want to. There was a nature walk where u can do pond dipping and lakes to fish when we come back il bring my husband as he would live that

I know this has to be done so everyone gets a chance to use the pool

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.

Liked The electric hookup worked.

Disliked That there was no one on reception and the pool closed hours earlier than advertised, same as reception. Had to call several people and leave messages and then call another person to be able to access the site. Finally got in after a long wait and still didn’t get a pitch number. Called back to ask the number and the person despite making us wait couldn’t be bothered to drop the envelope with the details to us. I’m disabled and my driver went to collect it. After this palaver we looked forward to a swim. Got in the pool, 2 minutes later someone arrives to say it’s closing early today. Regulars at the site were also quite annoyed at this.

Despite being advertised as with accessible facilities this isn’t the case. Wheelchair users should avoid.

Really not worth the money unless you have a tourer with your own facilities and don’t mind the facilities not being available, even basic things like staff and the pool, which is their big selling point.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments and allowing me the opportunity to respond accordingly. I apologise for the service you received on your arrival to our Park and at our swimming pool. Unfortunately, our receptionist had to leave early as she did not feel well, the lady that popped up to help was not trained in our arrival procedure, she was covering simply because we were so short staffed.
The swimming pool is opened at 10 am and closed by 5pm, sometimes the pool times are extended but this is purely at the discretion of the warden on duty but given you were met by an untrained member of staff on your arrival this was not communicated to you.
We do have a fully accessible toilet and shower facility at the building on Beech, again a break down in our arrival procedure - clearly you were not informed of this.
I am disappointed you did not enjoy your stay with us - whilst I appreciate our staffing issue is not concern we will endeavour the situation is not repeated.

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.
