 We stayed at Trench Farm for a single Saturday night en-route to a longer break in Wales.
The site is easy to find and the postcode will take you a few hundred metres away from the gate - just keep going straight on.
Important note, unless you're a dab hand at reversing a caravan, don't drive right into the farm yard to check in at reception, wait right at the gate as the entrance to the touring field is almost immediately on the road.
Sylvia came out to meet us and walked us to our pitch helping me reverse. She then showed us were the facilities were - luckily for us, right behind our van :)
It's a lovely quiet site with no kids play facilities. The majority of people looked to be there to chill, enjoy the country silence and tranquillity. Many had friendly dogs pegged next to their vans.
Our three kids were desperate to get out of the car and run around after their short journey so we let them have an explore around but were wary that they were the only kids and were breaking the silence.
Before we left for dinner we hired a fire pit, bought some logs and paid our site fees for the night(reasonable).
We went into Ellesmere nearby for our evening meal and after scouting around the pubs, hotels and restaurants on offer we chose the excellent Thai restaurant and were delighted when our kids thought it was great too. Ellesmere also has a Spar and Co-op so good to get the provisions in.
Back at the site as the sun set we lit up the fire pit and enjoyed toasting marsh mallows and some snags with a nice bottle of wine. Mike (the partner of Sylvia) was making his evening rounds making sure all was well. He spent a pleasant 15-minutes catching up with us around our fire pit. They're rightly proud of the site they built from nothing over the last years.
The toilet and shower facilities were immaculate. There's one shower in the gents and a second shower in the ladies. No charge.
The kitchen area had a large table, fridge, freezer, beer chiller, kettle, microwave, lots of local literature, a library of swap books and a good folder containing details of local pubs, restaurants and take-aways that deliver.
Also available is a washing machine and tumble dryer that can be used any time by paying an extra fee direct to the owners.
There is fishing available directly on site and we had a try for a couple of hours on the Sunday morning in the pond nearest the entrance. We didn't even get a bite but it was obvious there was plenty of life in the ponds. The ponds are also well gated off and sign-posted to prevent under-16's direct access without supervision.
All in all a spotless, lovely site with great owners. I noted that everyone who passed our van also said 'hi' and gave a nice welcome.
The only downside was that there was not so much for kids to do.

Hi went to trench farm at the start of school holidays and we thought it was absolutely brill.
The owners Silvia & Mike are really friendly and laid back.
We took our two Labrador puppies and they loved all the open fields to run in. The toilet and shower block is very clean and the showers are lovely and hot.
The main field is great and very spacious it is also nice and level.
All the other people where nice and friendly and the added bonus of open fires was nice. The three fishing lakes were really good and very close to the main field.
I did fish and managed to catch a couple of decent carp. I would recommend anybody to try this site for a peaceful getaway in the countryside.

Just got back from a weekend at this site. What a great site it was.
The toilet block was nice and clean and had plenty of loo rolls the showers were always hot and the block you used for washing your pots was out of this world it had a washing machine, dryer, a large table and chairs and books on walks and the local pubs and take aways.
The owners were very nice. The fishing was very good 3 good lakes. Didn't go of the site to any of the pubs took our own.
We will go back again soon

Nice campsite with clean toilets and shower block, ideal if you like fishing as the only activity on site. No play area or park close by but we over come this by packing a variety of toys and games. The only down side to this campsite is they charge an extra £7 a night for tents than caravans and when asked response was due to tents flattening the grass!
Tesco only five minutes down the road in the village of Ellesmere so can top up on essentials easily.

We have just returned from Trent Farm and can highly recommend it. It is so peaceful and tranquil.
There wasn't a play area for the children but this didn't bother my six year old son as he just loved the open space of the camping field and could run around without bothering anyone and I could see him even if he was down the other end of the field. The fishing ponds were lovely although we didn't do any fishing.
The owners are really friendly and give the camp site a lovely relaxed feel about it, they didn't rush us when we were leaving and allowed us to arrive early and unhitch our trailer until the pitch was available, this meant we could enjoy the site for more time.
The facilities are like home-from-home, with a kettle, fridge, washing machine, tumble dryer and microwave. Washing area was immaculate as were the showers and toilets.
They encourage recycling by having separate bins, but this isn't enforced if you don't want to. We hired the firepit and wood which gave a more traditional feel to the evening - shame it was drizzling though!
We will definitely be returning within the next month and hopefully for 2 nights rather than one. I may even have a go at fishing for the first time.
The site is quite remote from any shops but this didn't bother us as we went to get away from everything.

We stayed at the end of may. 2 families in 2 large tents. The site wasn't busy so there was plenty of room. There are a few hook ups but we didn't use them. The owners are very friendly and they provide fire pits and wood for hire so you can have a fire.
The kids enjoyed the free open space and we got a few games of baseball, cricket and football on the go where other kids came and joined in.
Whilst we aren't keen anglers we did make use of the lakes for a few hours and it was the young kids first time fishing so the fact that we caught over 30 fish ( small ones apart from one decent sized fish - but the kids didn't care ) was a major plus and my daughter keeps asking to go fishing again! I haven't the heart to tell her that fishing isn't usually as easy as that.
There were two shops within 5-10 mins drive away.
The toilets were probably the cleanest I have ever seen And the wash up area has tea, coffee kettle etc and a radio.
The site is about 1 hour 15 mins From Manchester so its ideal for a spontaneous get away without spending hours in the car.
All in all a good site which we would definitely visit again.

We stayed with 5 other families, 2 in caravans and 4 in tents and when it came to paying Sylivia the owner thought that it was fair to charge the tents £7 per night extra as she said that people in tents use more of the facilities and also cause damage to the grass.
On a happier note the on site facilities are very good, toilets, showers, campers kitchen all spotless.
Even though there are no play area for children our children had a great time fishing which is free for all people on site.
What I would say is that if you have a tent check out the price first as it doesn't always follow from website.

Just had a wonderful weekend at Trench Farm. Weather was terrible but that didn't seem to matter! There is an excellent utility room with a table and chairs, fridge, washing up facilities and even a microwave.
There is a nice selection of books in this room, along with a folder full of local restaurant menus and places to visit, so whether you want to brave the weather and stay on site, or go out and about they really do accommodate you.
The toilet and shower facilities were immaculate.
The pitch was really spacious with hook-up and water tap right there. The field was really well looked after and campfires (in fire pits) were welcome. We lit a BBQ and the owner came over to us to give us some blocks to use - he was happy for us to carry on and do what we wanted but taking a pride in his field he wanted us to put it on the blocks - fair enough.
Good location - we live in the Midlands so a nice short drive for a lovely holiday in Wales. The owners have made a leaflet of local attractions which was very useful.
All in all I'd highly recommend this site - Sylivia the owner was an excellent host, she knew all of her guests names which was a lovely touch, and her husband was equally as helpful and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Just returned from Trench Farm and what can I say. A fantastic site.
Welcomed by Mike and Sylvia who were only too glad to help. Provided fire pit and wood.
All in all 4 adults, 2 children and 4 dogs in two tents.
Free fishing which the kids enjoyed. Lovely walks with the dogs (miles and miles if you want to).
The toilet blocks were immaculate at all times with Indian Stone flooring of all things !
Fully enclosed kitchen / dining area with fridge, kettle, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer. I must say that washing up in this area was a pleasure (unlike some other camp sites where I have been washing my pots in a field shelter).
Tesco was just a five min drive and also within walking distance is the Trotting Mare Pub which served excellent food.
We will be returning to this site !

We have just spent seven nights over the Easter and may bank holiday at this site, it is our second visit and was again a great holiday.
There is no shop or pub on this site, do you miss them? most certainly not, this is a site for serious rest and relaxation.
There are some lovely walks and excellent fishing which is free for people staying on site.
On site facilities are very good, toilets, showers, campers kitchen all spotless.
Mike and Sylvia are the perfect hosts. So will we be going back for a third visit you better believe it, now that we have found it we are certainly not going to let it slip through our fingers.
