Gostou: Huge site, nice location, noticed some comments about noisy aircraft - it's not under a flight path but Manchester Airport isn't far away and yes you do hear some planes. If you live in a city you won't even notice the noise as the sounds of nature do their level best to drown them out. For tents the pitches looked great, well spaced out, feeling of seclusion with unmown grass around (paths and pitch kept well maintained)

Não gostou: Facilities. Miss read the details - that's on me. When I read one gents toilet one ladies I miss took it to be one Gents toilet block, one female toilet block etc. The cafe, clearly part of the mariner (all built in 2018) has it's own toilets. Four doors at the back of the building. One gents, one ladies, one disabled plus one that says Shower. Behind each door is one toilet, one sink. The shower has - you guessed it - one shower and a sink) Campers get to share these along with patrons from the Barge Bar (a small Barge that's out on dry land at the side of a carpark that's converted into a tiny pub) There are two, possibly three sets of two Portaloos across the rest of the site (bring a torch). One of those sets also has two wooden outdoor showers, and two sinks for presumably giving yourself, not just your dishes a wash. Pitches for campervans/motorhomes are few (4 marked out possibly a few more that are not) very close to each other. Very easy to set up your pitch and find someone rolling up "next" to you and thinking you've used their space. Also layout a bit peculiar. Campervans/motorhome pitches are the back one of three segregated areas. One and two are car parks, in front of those is the Cafe/bar/bricks and mortar toilet. So campervans/motorhomes have lovely view of the carparks. Strange planning decision.

Gostou: Friendly, welcoming staff and warm welcome upon arrival. Beautiful views. Very clean, well equipped and comfy bed. Bonus that everybody is not ontop of each other, very well spread out. Pizza bar and boat bar was excellent in the evening.

Não gostou: Lack of proper shower/wash facilities but we only stayed one night so didn't bother us.

Do gerente: Thank you for the positive review! We're delighted you enjoyed our friendly staff, beautiful views, and comfy accommodation. We appreciate your feedback about the shower facilities and their are due to be updated in the near future. We hope to see you again soon!

Gostou: Location is great with views of the marina and the canal boats travelling by on the canal. Food in the cafeteria was good hot and well presented and reasonable price. Dogs allowed and doggy was treated to a cooked sausage by the staff which was rather sweet. Staff were friendly on site and informative. Good for overnight stop.

Não gostou: For site which caters for a number of people toilets and showers were in short supply unless you count porta loos dotted around. The showers and toilet rear of cafeteria also lacked hand wash and had a distinct bad odour about them.

Do gerente: Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the picturesque location, tasty cafeteria food, and the thoughtful gesture towards your furry friend. We appreciate your feedback regarding the restroom facilities. Due to our toilets being connected to the on site waste treatment plant, at certain periods there can be a slight odour. Rest assured, we have taken note of your comments and are actively working to improve the situation. Additionally, we want to inform you that there are three full-flushing toilets available in the main building, and we have also installed four outdoor heated showers across the site for your convenience. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future!

The pizza van and bar are great and there was a friendly atmosphere amongst staff and customers. Pizzas also delicious! The site is well organised and in a very pretty spot. We'll be back again soon!

Gostou: The owner and staff were so lovely! They made the atmosphere relaxed and friendly and went out of their way to be fun and helpful with the kids! The area is beautiful. You have your own designated space, the grass is cut into areas so each pitch is slightly separate. The tiny pub was cute!

Não gostou: The only negative I would say is the onsite cafe was quite expensive. £4 for 2 slices of toast. But that is completely optional of course.
