  • 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.

A top spot! Clean, well-kept with great facilities like a heated pool, play areas & tennis. Staff are friendly. Pitches spacious. Minor notes on hot water/toilet cleanliness at peak times, plus accessibility/updating needs for some.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

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.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely clean campsite - with the bonus of a heated outdoor pool! 2 great play parks, 2 fishing lakes, tennis courts and a games room.

Staff were very friendly and there was a nice cafe with outdoor patio overlooking the lake.

We had a great time. Nice pub/restaurant a 10 min walk away too.

Would definitely recommend it and would go back if in the area.

Disliked Unfortunately the cafe stops serving at 1.30pm on a Sunday - so that was a bit disappointing and frustrating.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The place is absolutely amazing. It's very busy but lovely. Loads of kids and teens. They all play well together. The pitches are great. You have electric and fresh water supply. I have been various times now. As a single parent it's hard to feel safe in places, but there I feel like I can let my child out without worrying. I will go again for sure

Disliked The pool need a little repair, otherwise it's fab.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked The incredibly friendly staff, the sparkling clean facilities, the play park, the awesome wildlife wandering around, good touring pitches, flat and well maintained, nice pool which the kids enjoyed. Nice to have a cafe on site, will be nice to see the milk dispenser going if we come back.

Disliked Nothing much to say here, can't even think of a useful suggestion for improvement.

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.
