 Have just come back. Staff & food lovely.

However in the evening on both Friday & Saturday night in the camp site music was being played rather loudly until 2 in the morning. Friday I asked the group if they could turn music down. Unfortunately they didn't, so I spoke to a staff member (just before 11pm) they said they would speak to them. Not sure if they did but music was still loud. I couldn't believe it when they played music loud the next night. The whole site must have heard it. Basically very little sleep

 Been 4 times in the past few years, ok its basic, but handy for what we wanted,

However since changing hands the pub has gone downhill, meals slammed on the table! grumpy staff who became even more so on having to unlock the barrier to leave the site

Will we return? probably, would we eat or use the pub? nope

Advise to bring a bottle of water with you for that first cuppa on arrival, wait for the water barrel and you will be well and truly parched! slow isn't the word, rain and a funnel could have filled it quicker

Reviewer: Cilantro 2 reviews from this member

 This is not the Cotton Arms I remember and I wondered if it had changed hands. No interest at all just pointed in the direction of the camping area and told to turn right but pitches are on the left.

No advice on where facilities were. I can understand why there were no other users.

Sad as I made the journey for this site from recollections a couple of years before when I spent a week there.

 Noisy and cold showers. When we arrived we parked next to a tent when we returned from an evening out they still had a generator running so we moved across the field.

We could only manage to purchase one shower token. After returning from an Evening out we settled in to bed. Hearing the church bells during the day was nice but a little annoying on the hour and half hour all night was a bit disturbing. Then to top it off when we went to have the one shower we had a token for the shower was cold.

We did not stay for the second night we moved on.

There was a private function happing on half the site where there was kids running and shouting around the field till around 1 am.

We will won’t be returning to this site

Reviewer: Marysme 7 reviews from this member

 This is a nice little pub site that has ehu for caravans and motorhomes, tents are in a separate field with no electric.

Our first visit was in midweek in May when it was very quiet this time the site is full and the ehu kept tripping out. The toilets and showers are by the pub so a bit of a hike and showers cost £1 for 7 minutes.

The pub serves breakfast and meals which are all very nice its right by the canal so lots of nice walks

Reviewer: Charlesw50cef 6 reviews from this member

 Having purchased a pair of Outwell tents & all the ancillary equipment to support a family camp, there was no better location to test out our equipment & skills ( as I hadn't slept under canvas for 48 yrs )

Planning & preparation completed, team assembled & briefed. We travelled all of 4 miles to the Cotton Arms ( I was aware of the site & it's facilities from previous visits to the Cotton)

Great welcome from Julie. All the basic needs are available beer / food / camp site. Picked our site & pitched our tents, made our beds & off the Cotton for dinner. Great menu, good beer & excellent service.

No more to be said, go see for yourself.

 Just spent three nights at the cotton arms camping. Could not fault it. The toilets and showers were spotless.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back there soon.

Only 1 fault there needs to be mirrors to shave, my husband said.

Reviewer: B wilmot 2 reviews from this member

 We have been on a number of times. Its a fantastic site small and very friendly

On day our friend took us on a trip up the canal and to round the day off we all had a fantastic meal in the pub.

Would I recommend the cotton arms? No keep away. Just joking it's a fantastic site

Would go back in a heartbeat

 Arrived at campsite, easy entrance and pleasing to the eye,

lovely looked after permanent pictures by owners,

nice looked after beer garden with good kids play ground for your children to play while adults can watch and have a pleasant drink,

toilet and showers good enough for us campers, don't know what people expect sometimes, your camping it's not the Hilton.

Large camping area, pitch where you want, great if you need the extra space for gazebos,

local, family shop 4 minute walk,

nice canal walk, town centre, 20 mins away,

would definitely recommend,

best of all 10. 00 per night per pitch.

Pub food good and the sun was out. T

Reviewer: Dave 418 38 reviews from this member

 We used this site as a stop over on our way home from North Wales. At first we were not sure about this site. We went in to the pub to book in. This was very informal, pitch on the left hand side and pay when you come back this evening.

The site is 100yds up a track past the bowling club. Quite a few caravans looked as if they had been there a long time and a bit of TLC would have helped.

We found a pitch backing on to the canal, mostly grass.

The facilities are in the pub yard, my wife checked them out and said they were ok but not brilliant. Sadly you had to walk past the overflowing bins for the pub.

We ate in the pub as planned. Our meals were very nice, be warned the portions are huge. Later in the evening the pub filled up and the meals were taking a long time to serve and they were running out of choices.

The walk back to the van in heavy rain along an unlit track was a bit of chore.

Yes we would go back but only as a stop over not a long stay site.

Reviewer: Jakelab 6 reviews from this member

 We booked here after reading the good views. Good points 2 good pubs which do food in the village and the ale in both are good, dogs allowed in as well. The Cotton Arms was good as described.

However we booked a hard standing, they are grown over and more grass, there was a poor water supply and it took a long time to fill up, luckily our tanks were half full, so in the end we ended up going to the tap by the pub for water.

Toilets and showers clean but felt charging a bit excessive also the pitch price was £18 a night which was a lot for what you got, no dedicated grey water drainage, had to go down the elson. There was a rally in the field, they were quiet and other long term caravans there.

What spoilt it was the Saturday night about 20 campervans turned up and they were doubling up on 3 spaces and in between, parked within 3 foot which in not good with fire and safety plus they had an open fire, did not seem to care about anyone but themselves.

So disappointed they were allowed on the site in this way. Wrenbury is a nice village on the canal and walks etc.

Reviewer: Handley79 2 reviews from this member

 Great site and location. Plenty of room on the field for camper van and awning in the pitch joe gave us. Atmosphere on site great.

No noise after 2300 which is camp rules. Showers great value was told you get about 8 mins but was more like 10-12mins, good power and hot. All facilities very clean.

Cotton arm pub good prices for beer and food. Would give 10/10 for value and portion size. All in all a great site. Will be visiting again

Reviewer: Zenith5 1 review from this member

 Return visit to the cotton arms for us went for 3 nights 10/7/15 & ended up stopping for 10 as the weather was kind to us. The large rally field is level & well drained, water pressure on the field is very low but found the alternative tap behind pub by the showers so all was well.

Had some meals in the pub & they were very good (the sunday lunch especially so but book it up as the naturally get very busy)

The staff in the pub are fantastic & very hard working.

Nice children's play area in the beer garden.

Very dog friendly & nice walks in the area.

I shall be back for a surprise visit on 31 july for a few nights to celebrate our anniversary (shhh don't tell the OH)

Reviewer: Paul stanyer 14 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for 2 nights, the campsite was very busy with both tents and campervan/caravans.

The field was well drained and pretty much level.

The toilets and showers were in old converted outbuildings and although they were basic they were clean.

The attached pub was superb, offering a selection of 5 real ales and a great simple traditional menu at reasonable prices, I recommend you book a table as it gets very busy.

The village has 2 pubs and 1 small shop, with plenty of nice walks nearby as the site backs on the the canal.

Playground area in the pub garden.

In short a great family friendly site that we will be returning to.
