Views from my pitch (added by manager 09 aug 2022)

Family-run park a mile from Oulton Park Circuit
Set in the countryside with views over the Cheshire plains
Shop on site selling locally sourced bacon, eggs and sausages

If you're off to Oulton Park Circuit to see the fast cars, you might want a speedy return to base after a long day of envy. And you'll have it at Cheshire's Elm Cottage Touring Park, which is just a mile from the circuit as well as within easy reach of other popular pulls in the area like Chester, Delamere Forest, the north Wales coast, Snowdonia, the Peak District, Liverpool, Manchester… Elm Cottage is family owned and run, set in Cheshire countryside and surrounded by farming fields with a view across the Cheshire plains. It has an eco-friendly toilet block with free showers, constant hot water, underfloor heating, hairdryers and an easy access shower for family users or disabled guests. There's also a big exercise area for dogs and a play area, a large selection of tourist info at reception, and a shop on site selling locally sourced bacon, eggs and sausages plus basic grocery and non-food items as well as soft drinks and locally made ice cream. A popular pub serving good food and ales is a short distance from the site entrance and two pubs are in the local village of Little Budworth. If you fancy pizza, the Elm Cottage owners dish it up every Friday evening during the summer, freshly made in the site's new pizza oven.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Very clean, tidy, and well maintained site. Very clean amenities. Excellent dog walking facilities. Level pitches.

Disliked: We arrived about one hour early, and were immediately informed to pay £10 for entry. We had been travelling a while in a hot motorhome, with a dog desperately wanting a walk. This is Not a welcome you would expect. There was No mention of this charge. Also paid £5 for WiFi. The connection was very poor at the night time. Kept loosing a connection.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Super Clean and well kept site. Staff are all very friendly. Spacious pitches. Location is ideal for trips out in the delamere area. Home made pizzas are amazing!! Make sure you order early so you don’t miss out. Pub just up the road in case you fancy a drink . This was our second stay here and would definitely come again.

Disliked: Maybe the park area could be a little bigger with a few more things .

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback Sean. If money were no object & we had more space, we'd love more items on our park too. I'm glad you enjoyed our fab pizzas!

Nice clean tidy site, felt welcome from arriving…

Local attractions

The park is perfectly placed for days out and activities for all ages and tastes, whether you want city days out, tramps through woodland or historic houses. Oulton Park racing circuit is a mile away and has a programme of events throughout the year, while Little Budworth Country Park is walkable from the site. The nearby village of Tarporley has designer shopping, tearooms and swish restaurants. Bolesworth Castle and its many events including CarFest North and international horse shows is 10 miles from Elm Cottage Touring Park, and old and rather fab Chester is 12 miles west with decent park and ride facilities. Famed Chester Zoo is also within easy reach. Stargazers should shoot along to the Jodrell Bank Observatory and Discovery Centre 15 miles away at Macclesfield, an educational establishment with visitor centre, arboretum and the mammoth Lovell Telescope. Other excellent day trips are around in all directions, like active days out in Snowdonia National Park or around the Welsh coast, hiking the Peak District or city shopping and sightseeing in Liverpool and Manchester.
