Reviewer: Stefrem 1 review from this member

 Brilliant site, quite, tranquil wonderful. Nothing for children to do unless they can use their imaginations. Very clean. The owners are wonderful people, you couldn't meet a nicer couple.

We were actually looking at a different site to 'site' our caravan but didn't like it, when we came across Trench Farm Fisheries. We fell in love with the place and we now store our van there and have spent 3 weekends there and going back again this weekend and a week booked in July. Just love it. Fishing is not that good, but it keeps hubby quiet for a few hours

If you are looking for peace and quiet in lovely surroundings clean facilities you can't beat this place, but don't take my word for it, try it yourself. 
Management response: Yes the fishing at trench has been slow this year...... this is mainly due to the unusually cold , cold weather we have been experiencing. With the weather now getting warmer and some nice sunny days over the last few weeks the fishing has greatly improved. Large numbers of carp could be seen basking all over and beginning to look for food, hence some nice mirrors and commons were caught last weekend!

 We have now stayed at Trench farm a number of times, Sylvia and Mike are very friendly and helpful owners.

We have a motorhome and always try to get a hard standing pitch.

The facilities are well maintained and more than adequate.

The three pools for fishing are great with fish of all sizes to suit anglers of all levels and ages.

Lovely area with surrounding peace and quiet.

Great value as fishing is included in site fee.

Will be visiting again soon.

Reviewer: GrandadRoge 1 review from this member

 Our first visit here but it won't be our last. We stayed for four nights and really enjoyed it. Thanks largely to the owners ! Thew owners have worked really hard to make staying here a pleasure. The facilities are excellent and spotless. We were made very welcome from the moment we arrived. The utility block was of particular note, having not only the usual dish washing and laundry services but microwave, fridge and freezer also provided for the use of campers. In this area there is also a dining table and chairs (the first time I have seen this on a camp site) and books and games for your use. This is a very friendly site, other campers were a mixture of regulars and first timers like ourselves and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

The main reason for our stay was the fishing, this was good, we caught a 7lb common carp(no photo sorry) and numerous smaller fish. I lost a larger fish so I am sure there are a good stamp of fish present. Patience is the name of the game! Looking forward to our next visit.

 Just returned from 10 night stay and will be returning to this lovely, peaceful site next year. The owners Mike and Sylvia are a lovely helpful couple.

The regular campers/caravaners make you feel very welcome always said hello, very pleasant and didn't make you feel alienated.

The toilets/showers were very clean and well kept and the other facilities, washing machine, dryer, freezer was a great bonus I have not seen on other sites.

My husband enjoyed the fishing on the 3 lakes(though there was a lot of little fish) he did catch a few good ones!

Also nearby is Ellsmere, Oswestry both lovely places, we also visited Nantwich, Shrewsbury, Colwyn Bay, Llangollen, Towyn and Horseshoe pass.

Sylvia and Mike should be very proud of this site and the welcome they and there regulars give. Highly recommended.

 Go there, if you want to visit the area and see the lovely city of Chester this is the site to stop at.

Its the most friendliest site weve ever been to, Sylvia and Mike introduced themselves and even had the decency to ask what our Christian names were and for the whole week they called us by them, we've never received this kind of hospitality anywhere else, its a family run friendly site who are interested in you enjoying yourself and always asking if everything is ok.

The price is well worth it, the site is brilliant, showers and toilets are immaculate, utility room with microwave, kettle, fridge etc to cater for tents is spot on. The fishing is good, just sat on big baits waiting for the decent fish to come along, dog walking is good, there's a cracking kebab house and chippy in Elesmere.

I could go on all night about the site, but why, go there and find out for yourself you won't regret it.

We would not hesitate to return to Trench Farm

Reviewer: JACKMART 2 reviews from this member

 This is a great campsite and Mike & Sylvia who own it are two of the nicest people you could wish to meet. Stayed here last weekend for the 1st time and have booked to go again this weekend.

Being new to caravanning we did try last time we were here to put up the awning (1st attempt) only to find that it didn't come with any pegs to hold it down (you never stop learning)

Big thanks to Ray a seasoned caravanner who, when we were leaving Trench Farm, gave us a large bag of awning pegs after hearing of our problem.

Facilities are spotlessly clean here and the showers are always hot, however if you like to linger in the shower the lights are on a timer, so you may well end up in the dark looking for your shampoo.

Fishing is very good here if your into it and despite not having a play area for the kids there is plenty of space for them to run around and explore.

There is also a pub 2mins walk up the road from the site.

Reviewer: Miloanme 2 reviews from this member

 Nice clean site, fishing not up to much, lots of small fish,

when we arrived we were advised to stay off the grass with the awning. the hardstanding was very precarious. then we see people driving over the grass to park and pitch their caravans, seemed a shame because our caravan was near the entrance and it was obvious nobody could pitch there next to us yet we could not make use of the grass.

There is not a lot to do if the weather is bad we ended up leaving a day earlier.

A short drive takes you to the shops takeaways etc nice site but don't think we will visit again.

Reviewer: Wherenext 39 reviews from this member

 First time at this lovely little site. Even though the weather was a little inclement we were able to pitch on one of the 5 hardstandings.

The facilities were spotless with an indoor dish washing area with plenty of hot water. There are only 3 showers, one each for men and women and a shower for the partially disabled. Again spotless.

The grassed area has 50% EHU and is pitched in a round field. Other reviewers have mentioned the various additional facilities such as fridge etc and these seemed more than adequate for both caravanners and tenters.

Well situated, in easy driving distance to Ellesmere or Wrexham or even Shrewsbury if the mood takes you.

All in all an enjoyable quiet few days to get back into the swing of things.

Reviewer: Chrissyeh51 14 reviews from this member

 Very helpful owners who are also very proud of their site and keep it in pristine condition - we saw one camper being castigated for not clearing up properly after their dog, so beware!

We met up with my daughter and grandson for a four night stay at the beginning of the school holidays and were fortune enough to pitch up side by side, us with hook up and them without (their choice). Although there is no designated play area for children there is plenty of room for bike riding and ball games. We had some fun and exercise with a frisby and a set of boules.

Ellesmere is nearby and has a good selection of shops. The fishing was a little disappointing but that could just have been the time of year. It is very quiet at night and there is very little light pollution. All in all a very nice site which we wouldn't hesitate to return to if we are in that area.

 Hi went to trench farm this weekend for the first time what a place cant fault it. The entrance is good from both directions. Toilets and showers are spotless water always hot.

Pitches are a good size with electric and water so no carrying water we only saw Sylvia as hubby was recovering from an op lovely lady very helpful makes you feel right at home.

The walk ways round the pools are a pleasure nice mown grass every bit of it is spotless. The pools are well stocked and good size fish. I don't fish much but I had 5.

Ellesmere is about 2 miles away a nice country town with shops on the high street. We thought we had found our favourite site but this one tops it.

We are going back every chance we get
