 Site with good facilities, outstanding panoramic views all round.
Easy 20 min walk to Ellesmere town.
Same to canal walk.
The shower area could be warmer if truth be told. Showers themselves were hot. Area was spotless.
Friendly knowledgeable owners very helpful.

First time staying on this site. Chose an adult only site as it was during the school holidays. Just before we arrived we got a phonecall from Robin, telling us which field to go to. We'd booked a HS pitch and we were told to go to field 3, and choose a pitch.
This field is the furthest from the entrance, and also the highest field, with good views around. There is a gate at the entrance, which Robin told us the code for; you also need to use the code to exit the site every time.
There is a small building on the first field, which looks like a reception/office, but there was nobody there. There are 2 phone numbers to ring on arrival, but as we'd already had our instructions there was no need for us to do that.
The first field was all grass; the 2nd field was all HS from what I saw, and seemed to be occupied by seasonal caravans. The top field was also HS and had mostly seasonals on it, with some free for us to pick from.
The pitches are fairly level, but this field has quite a big slope down from where you come onto it. There's also a pond on this field, didn't see anyone fishing whilst we were there though. It's quite exposed, we decided not to use our awning as it was quite windy.
There is what looks like a new toiletblock on this field; it has 4 showers/WCs/washbasins combined - 2 for men and 2 for women, very smart. There is only 1 sink for washing-up. It looks like this is the main toiletblock for both field 2 and 3. On field 1, at the back of the building there were 2 WCs for men and the same for women; I think there was also either 1 or 2 showers, but didn't use those, so not sure.
The site was quiet when we were there, midweek; very few people in the seasonals, only 1 was occupied during our stay.
There is a gate at the bottom of the top field (3) which leads to a field, walk through the field and you come out onto the road into Ellesmere. It cuts quite a distance off; I'd dispute Robin's claim that it takes 10 minutes to walk into Ellesmere though! We are not slow walkers and it took us between 15-20 minutes to get into the proper centre. Before that, there is a Tesco, which is also where the canal ends/starts.
We had bikes with us and the cycling was quite good, starting from the canal and along it for a bit. The towpath towards where the site is changes into a grass path, very narrow in places though, so we came off and found a route along quiet roads going back. In the other direction, to Colemere and beyond, the path is somewhat better.
Ellesmere itself is quite pleasant, but we didn't eat out there, so can't comment on that. The mere itself is very nice, but you're not allowed to cycle on the paths in the woods there. Which is also the case for Colemere, no cycling around there on the paths. The small roads in the area were very good for cycling, very little traffic.
The road which passes the site is the main road to Oswestry and was quite noticeable, possibly because we were on the highest bit of the site. Maybe from the first grass field it's not as noticeable.
Overall we had a good stay, but I'm not sure how busy it would be if a lot of the units were occupied at peak holiday times/weekends in relation to the toiletblocks.

Had 3 nights May bank hol. Only 1 field for tourers the other looked nearly all seasonals. 20min walk into Ellesmere lovely with pubs shops etc. Site is nicely laid out in a circle so plenty of green infront of the caravan.
Do not like the terrace types at all. Communication wasn't the best. Voicemail was always full so it was emails. Robin was pleasant and laid back.
Small toilets block nice 1 shower was dodgy though out of the two. Another shower block in the other field. The pin code leaving the site is a pain you have to get out of your car everytime.
If travelling from Oswestry careful because the site sign with an arrow directs you to turn but it actually says NEXT left in small writing. We took the turn because you really only see the arrow direction. This is a narrow lane for approx 75rds. The actual 2nd left is a better option.
Only charged £5 for a late checkout which was reasonable.
Enjoyable stay and would recommend

Excellent well laid out Farm site, with the best spacing, between pitches, which had water and EHC available on all pitches.
Two Elsan chemical wc points, and grey water disposal, along with doggy shower wash points and recycle bins available. The two toilet blocks were pristine and well kept.
Fantastic views, excellent hosts, very welcoming and lots of info on eating pubs and Ellesmere shops.
The fishing pond had lots of smallish roach, the biggest fish I caught in the week was a 3/4lb skimmer, although told by regulars that there were some big fish in there. ?
Excellent access via two short lanes.
Well placed for LLangollan, Shrewsbury, Chirk, Betsy-Coed.
Lovely 5 star site, well worth the visit. Thanks Robin

Stayed at Newnes over the Easter weekend.
The site was pretty much full but the pitches decent sizes so never felt crowded.
We stayed on a grass pitch in field 1 and were very pleased with our choice.
It was level and the grass well kept.
The showers and toilets were excellent with plenty of hot water and no queuing.
It was a good 15 minute walk into town where there are lovely walks along the canal or round the meres.
A large dog field was great to exercise your dogs.
All in all we were very happy with our choice and definitely recommend.

Lovely well kept site. Stayed in the first field, probably had the best pitch.
Incline to reach the first field, not too challenging though.
Toilets and showers were immaculate.
Very peaceful.
Robin is a great bloke.
Plenty to do in the area but at a cars distance.
Nice walk around the mere.
Had 2 horses for company in the next field.
Will be going back.

Our first trip in our newly purchased motorhome, we chose an adult only site.
Robin greeted us when we arrived on-site. Site is beautifully kept with stunning views from our pitch in field 3.
We had a few teething troubles with our motorhome which Robin very kindly assisted us with.
Toilets/ showers/ washing up area all spotlessly clean. I need a decent shower to be a happy camper and this certainly didn’t disappoint.
Lovely walk across a field for access to Ellesmere, which has shops, cafes and walks around the Mere and along the canal.
We recommend the Red Lion for food and Martha & Mabel for coffee & cake.
We only live 35 minutes away but will definitely return.
