Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Really great setting, great cafe / bistro fantastic walks

Disliked Toilet with combined showers were a little off putting. More often than not a layer of sandy water from people showering and others walking dirt and dust in whilst visiting the toilets. Would be better a separate shower block in my opinion.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely big campsite, lots of pitches to chose from and quiet. Cafe was wonderful.

Disliked Shower and toilet facilities inadequate for the amount of people on site and consistently had water and loo roll on the floor and appeared to only be cleaned once a day

Recommend to friends Visit again

Looking forward to coming back for another weekend

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Peaceful location and lots of space even on bank holiday weekend. Great Saturday afternoon entertainment and lovely to walk along the canal from the campsite.

Disliked Always a queue at toilet/shower facility. Could do with some separate toilets to showers. Didn't help that cleaning seemed to happen right at peak time in the morning.

Jo W.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Pitch was lovely and open, ground was very flat so was nice for a tent and an air bed.
Private toilet and shower, although you weren’t able to tell when a cubical was occupied so the door handle would be tried while in the shower.
Showers were quite dirty at times but regularly cleaned. It’s a shame no one else on the site got the message to also try and keep them clean for others.
Washing us station was good with hot water.
Cafe is quite expensive but the food was very lovely.
We did the Saturday fun day activities, which were fun but was charged £10 for a baby who obviously didn’t take part in canoeing just sat on but was still charged

Liked relaxed atmosphere. Good toilet and shower facilities that were cleaned daily. Lovely cafe and live music two afternoons. Our children joined the bush craft activities which were great.

Disliked Cannot see if toilets/showers were locked.

Emma C.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Customer service is brilliant!
We had trouble with our electric hook up on the first night, this was swiftly sorted and a complimentary breakfast was thrown in to compensate.

Disliked The site was a little busier due to the bank holiday with a lot of campers on the camping field.
In turn making the bathroom facilities very mucky…can’t be helped though.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Fantastic overall and gave already booked to go again in October 😊

Penny S.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Amazing site, lovely views and plenty of lovely walks.
Singer on over the weekend which was lovely to sit outside and listen too whilst having a drink in the lovely weather.

Disliked Toilet and shower block clean but after showering floor gets very wet which made the whole area wet and slippy as toilet and shower in the same room.
Not alot of toilets/showers for whole site especially if it's busy.

Local attractions

Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park's Cheshire location and easy access from the M6 means it's in a most handy spot to get to heaps of tourist attractions around this part of the north west and Chester. A popular option in the area is Oulton Park, the racing track in the little village of Budworth that bills itself as the most picturesque track in all the land, or you could hike around the wilds of nearby Delamere Forest, or stick to lazy days and potter around small Cheshire villages like Tattenhall and Tarporley. Chester is also easily accessible from the caravan park and has heaps to see among its old streets and swish shops. Animal fans make their way to Chester Zoo on the outskirts of the city to see as many as possible of its 12,000+ animals and over 400 species; if nature is your animalish thing, also get along to the Blue Planet Aquarium and its 100 or so living displays including the biggest school of sharks in Europe. Green fingered? Clear the car boot and drive over to Bridgemere, one of the biggest garden centres in the world and with all things gardenlike as well as toys and clothes in its mammoth shopping centre.
