It is an expensive site (£85 for 2 adults and one 12 year old in a tent, off peak) and the fact that the swimming pool has to paid for (£2. 20 per person for 1-1/2 hours) means it is only a site to visit for the 'better off' (it is a 5* site after all),
Aside from that we found the site staff to be very helpful and friendly including the man who empties the bins!
Grass pitches are nice and level with plenty of space to park car at side of tent. It has 2 bars (treetops and the golf club) both of which were very welcoming and both serving plassey real ale. Food in the golf club is very reasonably priced and good too.
The children's play area is out of the way but the site is very safe so our 12 year old went to play by herself (even though she was a little big for the park).
The art and craft shops attached to the site are varied and interesting with good prices (ice creams made on the farm are a must try!) and another must see on site is 'the carved tree' which is excellent!
A 10 min walk from the site is a farm shop where any BBQ supplies can be bought. The nearest supermarkets are a drive away but ask at reception and they have printed out directions to get to them,
All in all a very nice site although pricey but will return again for another short break in the future just because of the overall friendliness of the site.
Although last year we travelled from Scotland to Cornwall and stayed at some lovely sites our favourite site turned out to be only some 35 miles from home. So to start this years season last week we visited The Plassey, we have always been very impressed with the quality of this immaculately maintained site which is set in some 250 acres of wonderful countryside with it’s own adjoining craft complex and garden centre and this trip was no exception to our previous ones….
However for this year they have a new reception building (same staff we are pleased to say) which I understand will include a visitors centre very useful for obtaining information on local attractions and places to visit etc.
The other interest, specially to my husband was the fact that the Golf Course was under new management and the amount of improvements to the golf course that had been done since our last visit and their plans for the future development, to quote my husband ‘very soon this is going to be a very impressive golf club’
All in all we had a great week with plenty to do and see which was great value for money for such high standards. Thanks to their happy and friendly staff for making our stay great again.
We had read that this site had been voted Best in Wales. Have to say that I can understand why.
A great site. The reception staff were friendly and even helped to pull and position my caravan on to the pitch.
It was early in the season and we only had a short stay so we did not have time to try out many of the facilities.
The toilets wers very clean and lovely and warm. The showers were hot with plenty of water. Digital TV cabled to our pitch was a nice touch.
Small niggle in that wifi connectivity was only allowed to one device and had to log on each time it was switched on / off. Might be I was doing something wrong but was not around long enough to worry about it.
We arrived at 8. 59 pm - 1 minute to last check-in! The very kind lady on reception was happy to stay until 9. 15 if we did not get to site on time. A man personally showed us to our deluxe pitch, and went through the park's facilities with us. They were both very kind even at that time of night!
The deluxe pitch had your standard hook up, grey waste water drain, drinking water - and even satelitte connection ( so had taken our sky box with us for rainy days). Every thing was in fantastic working order. The pitch sizes were enormous.
In the morning we woke up to a wonderful view overlooking the golf course; with it's streams, gentle hills and ducks! to the other side there was another lovely view with some sheep to keep the kids amused!
The site is v child friendly, and I was very happy to allow my 4 and 6 year olds to go cycling around the area on their own.
As we only stayed 2 nights we did not use many of the other facilities but they looked very clean, and the cafe/restaurant had lovely views!
The only fault would be that the swimming pool was closed - but this said on their site - and is to be expected in February.
I would absolutely recommend staying at plasseys - and will definitely be back!
We booked our pitch a bit last minute and despite being told that pitch number one could manage the caravan and porch awning we arrived in the dark after a long day at work to find that this was not the case. The staff on duty when we arrived were very apologetic, friendly and helpful and are a bit of mithering about we finally made our outfit fit by nosing on to the pitch and using the grass alongside the camp office to put up the awning! Be warned pitch number one is small and does not accommodate a full size awning no matter what anyone says on the telephone whilst booking!
Other wise the site is clean and tidy. The pitches further away from the entrance looked lovely and the showers at that end of the site are much nicer than the ones between reception and the pool. The toilets opposite the office were lovely thought, as were the washing up facilities etc. There are table tennis courts, badminton courts and a games room as well as the small seasonal pool and a shop selling essentials, sweets, ice creams and newspapers, all positioned around the reception area.
We didn't use the bar as there was a private party going on, however we were woken by the amount of noise made by the patrons leaving at closing time.
The marked out walk is lovely, the ducks enjoy a bit of bread if you have any spare and the farm shop across the road is great.
Just returned from this site and fully understand why it receives so many positive reviews. The staff, from booking over the telephone, arriving on site, pitching and generally wherever, where all so friendly and polite.
The site was absolutely spotless, toilet block pristine, warm, piped music etc etc, showers hot, free and no queue, dishwashing area spotless and again plenty of hot water.
We looked in the bar and restaurant, gift shop and coffee shop which although we didn't use they looked very smart. We did however use the footspa on site which was through a ladies hairdressers which seemed to be doing a roaring trade.
However, we did also use the pool. £2. 20 for 1hr 30mins. Again as expected it was spotless and warm although quite small. Including ourselves there was a total of 13 people and the way people spread out etc there was no real room to have a swim as such.
Two showers in the pool, very hot but we had to wait to get out of the pool as three young girls spent 40mins in the showers yet they where not asked to move on.
The site is well set up for caravans and I would say that 98% of what we saw was caravans and the site is huge.
Just back from 3 nights camping on Plassey, and a pleasurable one too, the staff were really nice and very helpful.
The place is spotless and this time of year is perfect for a little break and some quiet time after the busy holidays, pitches were generous and level. The coffee shop is ideal for a beautiful light lunch or coffee and cake, temptations is a lovely little sweet shop, there are some really nice walks to do in the area. The pool is great a good size and only us in it.
Prices are fab for 3 adults a dog and ehu only £22. 00 pn. A very secure and welcoming little gem of a site. Despite the gales, pitched on a beautiful spot overlooking lovely welsh hills we will definitely visit again.
There are plenty of deserved comments about the cleanliness and the facilities offered by the site. Both the toilet / shower blocks were spotless every time.
We were there during school holidays and over the a weekend so I am guessing the site was full, or very close. Not once did I have to queue to get the washing-up done.
On the downside. The pool is £2. 20 per person for 90 minutes - that came to £11. 00 for us five.
No footballs, unless they are foam. Whoever heard of a foam football? not me.
No cycling - yet there is a shop that hires bikes on site.
Don't get me wrong, this is a great site with plenty to do in Chester and North Wales but do be aware of what I found to be a slightly niggly set of rules.
This is a really lovely site, maintained to a high standard and with lots of attention to detail. The staff were really helpful and friendly. It's quite a large site - there are lots of permanent caravans - but it never felt unduly busy or crowded, and we did not have to queue for washing up or showers even though we were there at peak times.
The main attraction of the site for us was the swimming pool, and it did not disappoint. You do have to pay extra for it, but the pool is a good size, beautifully clean and very warm. We were a bit concerned before we went because they (very sensibly) limit the number of people in the pool to 30 at any time, and we were worried we might end up queueing or not getting in. In practice, however, the pool rarely got up to those numbers, and as long as you arrived at the start of the session there was never a problem. There are 4 sessions in the day so plenty to choose from.
Do note that bicycles and hard balls are not allowed on the site - it's scooters and foam balls only.
In terms of location, Wrexham is a nice town to visit and Llangollen and its surrounding attractions (ruined monastery, ruined hilltop fort, canal with horse-drawn boats, steam railway) are charming. There's some good walking and excellent mountain biking to be had, and Chester (including the zoo) is not too far.
We booked a 3 night break with Plassey Leisure Park about 4 weeks ago. We have a Hartford XL tent, which is larger than average, and as such I always ask if the campsite can accommodate us.
The person I spoke to when booking the pitch confirmed that the size of our tent was not an issue. However upon arrival, my husband made a joking reference to the size of our tent and the receptionist immediately asked us for the size of our tent. There was a lot of concern, but ultimately they decided that they could accommodate us.
With the help of a friendly staff member, we were shown to our pitch. There were concrete markers identifying the size of each pitch. The staff member explained to us that these markers were for the jockey wheel of caravans, which we took to understand that they were in the centre of our pitch.
He helped us lay our tent’s footprint, and we ended up with our tent lining up to the right of the concrete marker, with a trailer tent on our right and another tent on our left. He helpfully showed us the nearest drinking water tap and ablutions, and informed us of the country club and Treetops bars hours.
After pitching our tent and feeding our 2 young children, we went for a wander around the campsite. During this walk we made the following observations:
It is immaculately kept but very big. And as we were there during August summer holidays, it was fully booked. So you can imagine our surprise when we examined the nearest ablutions to find in total only 5 toilets and 4 showers each for males and females.
We did later find the newer ablution block which had another 3 showers and more toilets each. Although I did not have to wait for a shower at any time, my husband did, and I did have to queue for the loo on more than one occasion. Admittedly I could have walked to toilets further away.
When I used the shower, the cubicle seemed narrow, and I found it difficult to change into my jeans is I couldn’t quite stretch my legs out. I’m not abnormally tall or wide, but I felt very awkward, especially as the cubicle I used had no shower curtain, making the whole floor area wet and slippery. I must just add though that the facilities were always kept spotlessly clean, with the exception of the toilets under Treetops on Saturday night.
It seemed to us that the park catered mainly for caravans and that campers in tents were more of an after thought. The tent field was right at the back of the complex, and therefore quite a walk (with 2 little children) to toilets, showers or dishwashing facilities.
The caravans are all parked up in circular areas, with a large grassy green in the middle, where children could play safely. The tents were all lined up down a road, with very little provision for children to play safely.
We had a pitch that backed up onto a hedge, although to be fair, if we had camped on the other side of the road they could have played on a grassy area behind the tent.
There was a lovely playground area for the children, where they had a great time clambering up the climbing frames and whizzing down the slides. They also loved exploring in the bushes nearby. We spent a good few happy hours watching them enjoy themselves and interact with other children.
There was a covered area for snooker, badminton and table tennis, which we didn’t use as our children are too little.
We wandered around the “shopping” complex but didn’t venture into any of them. A fellow camper told us there was a real old fashioned sweet shop with wonderful sweets and the best ice cream.
We did try the Treetops Bar one evening. They had a good selection of ales, and the lady behind the bar was very friendly. I wouldn’t have liked to be camping near here though, as it seemed very noisy when I walked past it to the toilets at 10:30p.m on the Friday night.
There is a lovely nature trail and walk that is about 2 miles long, suitable for little legs with lots of sheep, cows and horses to admire, hissing ducks to chase and golfers to watch.
The swimming pool is small and warm. The changing rooms were immaculate. It cost £2. 20 per person for a 1 hr 30 mins session, although they didn’t charge us for our 2 year old. The shallow end is perfect for small children as they can stand safely and enjoy their independence. It was fairly busy when we used it, but not alarmingly so.
We did venture outside of the campsite a couple of times, and can highly recommend visits to Chirk (the aqueduct and Blackies tunnel were a huge success with the 4 year old) and Llangollen (which happened to have Thomas the Tank at the steam railway, a guaranteed winner for little boys). The surrounding countryside is absolutely beautiful.
When we arrived back in the early evening of our third night, we met our new camping neighbours. We were surprised to see how very close they had pitched to our tent, and in general conversation it turned out that they had been told that the concrete markers marked the boundaries of each pitch. Consequently, we now had ¾ of a pitch, as on our right we had a trailer tent utilising the concrete marker as the base for its jockey wheel. There wasn’t much privacy, even with a windbreak, and when we were lying in our bed, we could have quite easily touched our neighbours camp chairs through the canvas, if we felt so inclined.
We think Plassey is probably a great place for older children, but we personally felt that it was too big and cramped for our young family.
This is a very large campsite and very well maintained. The staff are all helpful and friendly and the facilities were always clean.
Good points:
1. Hot showers, with temperature control so good for children.
2. Large grassy pitches with good views (we had a view of a field of cows who came to observe our bbq each night)
3. Good playground, table tennis tables and badminton court (covered).
4. Nice bar, which was child friendly.
5. Public areas well lit without lighting being intrusive.
Things we found less good:
1. Long walk to toilets- blocks are at either end of large site and we were about in the middle.
2. No ball games allowed, despite large grassy areas.
3. No bikes allowed - this was a real shame and really limited the children's enjoyment of the site. All campsites we have been to before have allowed bikes and we couldn't see any obvious reason why this site should be different.
4. Pool is small and runs on timed sessions which cost £2. 20 per person - so you have to be there at specific times or only get a short swim. We only used it on a really rainy day and the children said they wouldn't want to go again to that pool.
There is a craft shop complex on the site but we didn't eat or drink there.
Great NT property nearby with marked cycle trails for slightly older children was the saving grace.
Might go again although not that much to do in the area.
The Plassey Leisure Park provides a relaxing destination for touring. Well kept pitches, in particular the super pitches which are very spacious. T
His is a very quiet site with little traffic so safe for children. Treetops bar has a lovely atmosphere and the restaurant on site serves delicious meals at unbelievably low prices.
The only thing which disappointed me was the lack of shower facilities, only 3 in one toilet block. There was a dedicated shower block at the other end of the site but the showers were cold. Owner's comments: Please note that we have a total of 17 showers on the park :- 7 in the main Amenity building, 6 in the Shower block next to Reception, and 2 in toilet block next to the Swimming Pool, and 2 in the Swimming Pool building itself. The "dedicated shower block", as mentioned, had an issue with a faulty boiler for 1/4 day in early August, and was fixed within 1 hour as soon as we were notified. All our showers are powered showers, free of charge & with individual temperature controls - for these reasons we find that customers enjoy the showers so much that they do spend a time in them. Whilst I am reluctant to put up signage in the showers, this may have to be called upon so that it draws their attention both to being respectful to others that are waiting, and the wastage of water / environmental resources. Many thanks, John Brookshaw. Owner"
Despite this I would return to the park as the setting was lovely and the site attractive and clean
This was our first time touring Wales and we had a fantastic, but in hindsight too short a stay on this site. We have travelled extensively throughout Europe and Ireland but have never come across such friendly staff and superb facilities. The site has everything we look for and more. You have golf, sauna, badminton, small but adequate swiming pool, pub and good walks. There are also a number of small shops including the Plassey Ale brewery. The bar is small but nice with a very friendly couple running it and the local Plassey Ale is worth trying. You can choose between the on site restaurant or the club house for a nice meal. I cannot rate the cleanliness of the toilets and showers highly enough. The site was busy but did not give the impression of being crowded. The site is second to none and we will most definitely return in the future.
We have only been caravanning for just over 3 years but we have already stayed on Best of British, The Caravan Club, and Camping and Caravan Club sites from Scotland to Cornwall. The Plassey was in fact the very first site we visited by recommendation from friends.
Therefore we are pleased to say that this is our 3rd year of visiting Plassey and we have just returned again nicely relaxed from our 3rd visit this year. I am confident you will agree that it’s extremely rare to find a site that offers everything to a wonderfully high standard but this one truly does. The site and facilities are immaculately maintained with friendly and happy staff members who really do make you feel very welcome, and who also regularly patrol all areas of the site even after dusk. The site is ideally suitable for all age groups, a great location for families with children or like us being semi retired who just want to relax and enjoy the environment and excellent on site facilities. I also manage to enjoy a couple of games of golf whilst my wife visits the craft & garden centre. So again thanks and congratulations to you all and we will see you again soon. Derek & Kath and Dinky our West Highland Terrier who thinks it’s his 2nd home.
