 ON arrival this site was perfect, with clear booking in facilities.
Then we went to pitch our tent.
Disaster!
Heavy winds made it near impossible to pitch our tent and we ended up in the 'non pitched area' - ha ha
However when the winds calmed down then we set up our pitch and enjoyed the scenic views over the Cheshire plains.
Great facilities on the site including VERY CLEAN toilets and showers, and also a lovely Owl sanctuary for the kids to enjoy.
Lovely big field for the kids to play in and dirt cheap too.
Recommended site IMO for anyone wanting a 2 night break away from the hassles of Manchester/Liverpool and surrounding areas - such a lovely site to visit and will deffo return again in near future.

What a pleasant surprise. We had to change our plans for the wekend almost at the last minute. The wife phoned this site on the off chance and we were offered a pitch with EHU on their rally field as they'd had a rally cancel on them. Turned up on Friday evening, got a friendly welcome, and shown to the field and given a couple of choices of where to pitch. No marked out pitches, so whilst we saw later arrivals try to squeeze in to spaces which wasn't necessary, we had loads of room with space for a pub tent, and we could sit and watch the world go by. Toilet block was immaculate, but what struck me most was how well kept the site is, with attentive wardens. When I asked what time did we have to leave on Sunday the answer was by 4pm. Apart from some traffic noise, this is probably the best quality non-club site we've stayed at. I'm sure we'll go again.

We have just bought a tent for the first time, and the girls (10 and 14) were uncertain whether they would take to camping, so we chose this site as it was close to home for an emergency evacuation if things went really pear-shaped, and because of the good reviews. We could not have got it more right!
The site is immaculate, and the proprietors work hard to keep it that way - constantly tidying the surroundings, replenishing the paper towels and loo paper (even at 10.30 at night)- yes the toilet block has paper towel and loo paper! No more crossing the field with a tell-tale toilet roll! We found the toilet blocks to be always clean and well stocked. Hot water was plentiful.
As first timers (well, first for a long time) we were given good advice by the proprietors, which was really helpful. There is a well stocked shop with all the emergency last minute items you may have forgotten (such as a 12v air bed pump! Oops!). Not forgetting the owls - they are amazing.
The field was well kept and we had a good amount of space on our pitch to feel comfortable. The dog walk area is a great idea. The road noise was a bit intrusive on the first night, but it is amazing how quickly we all acclimatised - and that goes for the 3.00 am cockerels, the snorting horses, the dawn chorus, and the barking dogs (not any on the site who were all well behaved apart from one of ours who found being in a tent to be a challenge on the scale of the Great Escape!)
Nearby there is a small town with 2 supermarkets, takeaways etc. There is a small local pub (Shrewsbury Arms) close by with great home cooked food. Another is a few miles away in Whitegate - The Plough - which is excellent. Walking the Sandstone Trail near Kelsall (look for Grestys Waste) is good exercise, and Jodrell Bank Visitor Centre is worth a visit and does not cost the earth (no pun intended).
All in all the trip was a great success and the girls want to go camping again - a real testimony to Elm Cottage. We would come here again for a short break as we came back feeling relaxed and rested.

We have just returned from our stay at Elm Cottage where we spent the Bank Holiday Weekend. (22nd - 25th May 2009).
We had nowhere booked for the Bank Hol and accepted a last minute cancellation. The site is easy to find being just off the A54 and the entrance is well signposted.
Check in was painless and we were shown to our pitch by one of the wardens.
We stayed on pitch 6 which is opposite the reception. Although it is convenient for the shop, it is near the main road, which can get quite noisy on a busy weekend. Also all traffic entering or leaving the site, passed about a metre from our headboard!
However, even though both the caravan site and the rally field were full, thanks to the hardworking staff, the site and toilet / washrooms were always spotless.
A number of owls are in aviaries in the owners garden and are well worth a look.
Surprisingly, there is no extra charge for the Bank Holiday, awnings or dogs. Nor were we charged when we asked if we could stay on our pitch until into the afternoon.
A nice touch.
All in all a clean, well maintained, good value for money site, run by friendly staff.
Would we stay again? On a quieter weekend, Definitely yes!

We spent the Bank Holiday weekend at Elm Cottage, paid £12.50 per night (expensive for us) we have a very mixed opinion.
Staff were polite and informative, little shop was good for small essentials and a few luxuries such as fresh bread, newspapers and homemade jams
The toilets, wash up area, rubbish and recycling where excellent, showers were a little disappointing, on push taps that lasted only a less than a minute at a time. (I spent more time trying to find the tap and getting shampoo in my eyes!)
The most disappointing aspect had to be the road noise, it was really noticeable and woke us up a number of times during the night.
Would only go back if could get a pitch on the far side of the field.

Small but excellent site, very clean, small shop which is available on request at reception for all the essential things. Well maintained with a really lovely owl section where you get the chance to see these gorgeous birds close up. Toilets and showers are second to none with underfloor heating and a dishwashing section. Oulton Park is within a short ride/drive.

Friendly welcome, loved the newspaper service, left your order with the helpful staff and then nip to reception in the morning and your newspaper is waiting for you!
We stayed on an electric hook-up in the camping field. The field was fairly quiet, got a bit busier over the weekend, but certainly not crowded.
We loved this site, it was extremely clean, the toilets/showers were excellent and warm!. The presentation of the whole site was brilliant.
There is Spar within 2 miles and an Asda within 3 miles, so if you need any essentials they're certainly available within a 10 minute drive.
There is a small garden area with several different types of owls which are well worth a look, our kids loved them.
All in all, a fantastic campsite that we would recommend to families and couples.

Having just stayed at this site for the second time I'm a little bit disappointed.
The site facilities appeared to be over stretched with the bank holiday bookings, despite the very best efforts of the staff the toilet block was often grubby and smelly, probably due to the number of people using them - the situation improved greatly after a number of people left on the Sunday. Hot water seemed to be running out - luke warm showers with little water pressure and no hot water left in the new block for washing up on more than one evening. In defence of the owners and staff they seemed to be constantly cleaning the facilities although it was clearly a losing battle at times, and were friendly and helpful at all times even offering help move our tent away from the extremely rowdy family who dominated the rally field during the weekend.
Good points - the well stocked shop, friendly helpful staff, amazing views of Cheshire with Jodrell bank's dish clearly visible and of course the owls who live on site. There are many attractions within easy reaching distance and plenty of opportunities for forest walks in nearby Delamere. The site is possibly the nearest campsite to Oulton Park and the owners kindly allowed us to leave our tent up until after the race events on our last day which was brilliant - meaning that we were in no rush to be packed and the tent was nicely dry before it landed in the car. A limited amount of electric hook up are available on the camping field for early bookers.
Bad points - some of the camping field is close to a busy road and ear plugs are recommended, the opposite end of the camping field is sloped in places, it would appear that the site and facilities are easily overwhelmed on busy weekends.
The acid test - would we return? Yes we will be back due to the fact that our first time at the site was brilliant. On that occasion it provided a lovely peaceful haven at the end of a long days excitement watching the car racing, however we will in future be avoiding bank holidays.

First camping trip with the wife, and it was perfect, the best site I have been to. Toilets were spotless, staff were friendly and the site was perfect to our trip to Oulton park. The site is of a very good size with most of it level.
Will be going again!

This was our first visit to elm cottage. We will be back, very nice site very clean and tidy. New toilet block within easy reach from our caravan. However the site is laid out so everything is within easy reach.
I had to wait twice for a shower ( there is only three in the mens ) but we did go on a very busy weekend the first of the season.
My two kids loved it though youngest is five and all he did was ride his bike around and around all day, my eldest 17 and once she got wifi access she got a smile !
To recap the site was the best we have visited (3rd) since owning our caravan site owners are very pleasant and very approachable, price was very good, site was spotlessly clean. However more showers would of been nice and maybe a little play area for the kids.

We stayed here for 1 night to try out our new caravan. We couldn't have picked a better site! The owners couldn't have been more helpful, and the shower block was absolutely immaculate. There wasn't anyone coming after us so we were able to take our time packing up, always a bonus when you have 3 children.
Our older children (aged 8 & 6) would have preferred a play area but as we were only there for 1 night it wasn't too much of a problem. They were able to scooter freely around the site & the huge field behind us enabled them to play ball games. All in all it was a good start to hopefully a successful season of caravanning.

What a little gem this site is. It is fairly compact but it doesn't feel so. The whole site is immaculately kept.
The new toilet and dishwashing block is lovely with its underfloor heating and smart look. It is kept very clean by the site owners who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards.
There is some road noise from the A54, which is perhaps the only down side. I would not hesitate to stay again when in the area.
There is a pub a short distance away (shrewsbury Arms) which has good reviews, though I did not have chance to use it. Handy for Delamere forest which is a 5 - 10 minute drive away. Also Harringtons caravans (Discover Leisure) is 10 mins away for any accessories you need or if you fancy a browse at the latest model caravans!

This was our first visit to Elm cottage and we were very impressed. The site is very clean and well looked after with an excellent new shower/toilet/laundry/dish washing facility.
With the site being relatively small the traffic was very light and so made a fantastic cycle track for the children to ride there bikes round the caravans. The other people using the site also seemed tolerant to the children playing as more and more kids joined in!
Our kids were fascinated with the owls on site, especially the Eagle Owls which are very impressive close up.
I believe the site would benefit from a children`s play area although there are lots of attractions locally such as Peckforton and Beeston Castles, Oulton Park, Candle Factory and Cheshire Ice Cream Farm to name but a few.

This is the second time that we have stayed at this site, as it's in a brilliant location and has everything we needed. There are excellent showering facilities and toilets. We've never had any problems with noisy neighbours, as the field is so large.
The top of the field does get some traffic noises during rush hour, but didn't bother us. 20 mins from Chester Zoo, but the best day out we had was at Crocky Park (reception will give you details) - Just go prepared to get wet and very very muddy.
Pub down road does great food and try Elm Cottage's home made lemon curd.

This was our first stay at this site and would like to say how much we enjoyed it.
The site is clean and friendly, the toilet block was spotless, the grandchildren loved the owls.
There was a lot to see around this area but the ice-cream farm is a place not to miss, the pub down the road is the Shrewsbury arms, it serves great food (and plenty of it) and is not expensive.
We will visit this site again
Suggestion; a playground area would be a good idea
