  • 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.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: The breakfast baps, staff on reception very friendly, space to manoeuvre the caravan and park.

Disliked: Fully serviced pitch, no TV aerial, shop very poor considering the area, nearest shop 15 minutes away. Not a lot for my teenager to do as aimed at youngsters. I think it was overpriced and looked run down, we only stay on fully serviced pitches as I'm disabled, cafe only had access through reception, hard to navigate around the barrier and path uneven around cafe. This is the first bad review I have done. We went to go in the pool but it had mud in it, so we left. On our 2nd night 2 big highways vans arrived and set up, next day 3 washing lines put up and all the washing out! Not something I'd expect from a 5 star site. ( They were travellers) I asked office and was told they are fine. Loos not great, hand sanitizer at chemical disposal empty, no way to wash hands. Won't be going again, we left 1 day early......not a patch on the Plassey and same price !!

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The pool and play area were a particular highlight, kids loved both making new friends during our short stay.

Disliked: On our last day we used the cafe with our new friends. The wait for the food was to long, food not great and a big gap between our meals arriving. Our new friends had to send there scones back due to mould

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: I really enjoyed the campsite. This was only our second time camping so I don’t have a lot to compare it with but it was great. Everyone was friendly. Toilets were kept clean, playa tea was good for our children. Staff at reception friendly and gave a great overview of the site. Very impressed. We will be back 100%

Disliked: Perhaps it would have been nice to have the shop with options for food but there was petrol station five mins down the road with a Spar.

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.
