 Just returned from our second trip to Grindleybrook and loved every minute of it.The weather did help, but a beautiful part of the country at any time of the year.Tom the owner as usual was friendly and helpful plenty of activity on the canal.Really good food at the Lochside cafe and friendly staff, and lots of good walks from the site.Plenty of good places to eat in Whitechurch,can be reached by walking along the towpath or the main road(not as bad as it first appears once you are past the roundabout)

This site is fabulous. Stunning location been situated on the canal at the top lock of grindley brook staircase. A small pleasant friendly and quiet site with plenty of walks. Clean toilets and shower block and dog friendly.
Lockside cafe sells the essentials and news papers. Horse and jockey pub serves meals all day at a reasonable price nearby. This is one site that we shall continue to return to again and again this is a great spot for full relaxation.

This was our second stay at this quiet, well kept and friendly site.
With only five units allowed, there was room for everyone and space to spare.
As a narrowboating couple with our own boat (NB Excalibur), we particularly enjoyed the lock-top location of this friendly site.
It is situated at the top lock of the Grindley Brook Staircase of locks ( Staircase locks mean where the bottom gate of one lock is also the top gate of the next lock).
Our Staffie, ' Alfie ' who is also an avid narrowboater, enjoy his new walking territory with all it's countryside smells and FRESH air.
The site permits dogs on leads and under control.
There is a shower unit at 50p and toilets, all of which are kept spotless, as well as an elsan disposal point. It is also equipped with 16amp hook ups which is ample for any caravaner's needs and there are plenty of water points.
If you are energetic, Whitchurch is just down the road and has a great variety of shops, or there is the lockside internet cafe' which boasts many varieties of coffee and alcohol.
A little further down the canal, just a few minutes walk beside the locks and under the road bridge is the Shell garage which stocks calor gas etc. There is also a pub serving hot meals just across the road.
All in all, you would be very hard pressed to find a nicer site, in a nicer place at a nicer price.
We will be returning next year - several times.

First time we had visited this site, can't wait to go back again.Tom the owner very friendly and helpful. Some lovely walks from the site, great little lochside cafe minutes walk away,and across the top lock a 1.5 mile walk into Whitchurch and Dantons wood, great if you have dogs with you.
But the best part was just watching all the barges passing on the canal. £10 a night including hook up toilets and shower on site ( a charge of 50p for the shower)

This was the second time we stayed here, and was just as brilliant. With only 5 units allowed, there is plenty of space.
There are hook ups, a toilet and a shower, always kept spotlessly clean by Sue, who with her husband Tom, run this site. Both Tom & Sue always have time to stop and have a chat.
There is an excellent cafe and shop alongside the locks, which is adjacent to the site. Five minutes down the road, there is a pub and opposite that, there is a garage which also has a well stocked shop, and it sells calor gas. A couple of miles along the towpath you come to the town of Whitchurch for more general shopping. We tow a Smart car, so we are spoilt for choice, with Chester 18 miles away. Next time we go though, we shall park in the Park & Ride at £1.70 per person, as opposed to £4 for 2 hours in a car park.
The only downside to this site is if you want to include a weekend in your break, then I advise you to book early, it is a very popular little site, and we have already booked up to return in July. We can't wait.

I couldn't agree more with Rikster. This is a very beautiful site that is very well looked after and very secure.
The showers take a 50p but it lasts for ages and was hot and clean! The canal side shop is very smart, trendy and also immaculately clean. It serves a wonderful cappuccino and has internet access (£1 per 15 mins, £3 per hour). It also sells wine and spirits. Very pleasant evening spent sipping a glass of wine watching the boats go by.
Tom and Sue are very friendly and relaxed and couldn't have done more to make me feel welcome. Will definately be returning.

A wonderful setting for a 5 van site. Next to the top lock, there is a steady flow of narrow boats chugging past. A must for canal buffs or anyone keen on a slower pace of life. The site is kept immaculate & has picnic benches beside the canal. The towpath is on the opposite bank offering a 1.5 mile walk/cycle to Whitchurch. There is also a tearoom, garage/shop & pub with grub nearby. A site we will be returning to time & again.
