Just back from elm cottage. Well set out site, friendly staff nice campers. Pub walking distance 7 mins. Great location easy to find. Shop on site with all the basic needs, daily papers(need ordering). Spotless site. Hopefully booking for 3 weeks time. Heated shower block
We stayed here for one night on the way home from The Lake District - randomly picked while searching for somewhere not too far from the M6. The reviews here helped to sell it to us and we weren't disappointed.
It was very quiet (time of year) and so we were put on the part where the caravans go and were lucky to only be charged the normal field rate.
The pitches were very well maintained with hanging baskets. As others have said, the road is noisy, but this didn't stop us getting a good night sleep.
The facilities were some of the best we've found - spotless toilet and shower areas, warm and spacious with plenty of hot water. The washing up area was equally spotless. Very well maintained.
The Shrewsbury Arms, a 5 minute walk along the road is nice and friendly and offers great pub food with small portions for smaller appetites.
We stayed with friends at this site on second weekend in September 2012.
The site is extremely clean and tidy. The toilets and showers immaculate. There's a small shop on site with essentials and more. The staff were really friendly and accommodating, We left later on Sunday because of 'first match of the season ', in time to get back and clear away and it was no problem to the owners. This was the main reason for camping within half an our of home.
We would definitely stay here again. There was plenty of room for kids to play and there's a great pub only 400yards away.
We would say the only downside was the noise from the road.
But too many good points about this site not to go back because of that.
What a beautiful well kept site? it is split in two effectively. The first half being the caravan area in the flat manicured lawn area, surrounded by flowers and flower baskets. Well lit, well kept, close to the facilities no matter where you are on this side of the site. There is a choice of type of pitch from fairly basic with electric to super pitches with hard stand and facilities on the pitch. The second half is the rally and camping field. Again its well kept and has electric on the field.
The facilities are small and you could face a queue if there was a rally on the field, but they are scrupulously clean and are cleaned and tidied several times a day. The ladies have three shower cubicles, one small private washing cubicle, four toilets and three basins.
The only down side, minor though it is, the shower operates on a push button system. There are ample washing up areas and also a laundry. They also have a toddler/disabled shower/wet room. There is a private garden with owls from all over the world in the aviary. The staff are helpful.
We were on a pitch in the first half of the site and due to being August bank holiday we felt a little hemmed in, but once you got over that feeling we really enjoyed ourselves. No one bothered you on your pitch, but you knew there was always someone keeping an eye on the site.
Well worth the visit and we shall certainly visit again soon.
We had a great weekend here, thankfully some decent weather at last.
The site is divided into two areas with a touring area with a mix of hardstanding and grassed pitches, and a large camping field adjacent.
The touring area is a bit cramped but is well maintained with all the facilities which larger units need. Generally this caters for caravans and big motorhomes but smaller units could also pitch up here.
The camping field is a real treat. Its a large space with pitches marked around the perimeter. There's electric hook up if needed, with water available at the edge of the field. Clearly the owners understand that many campers like space and wherever possible avoid having units in the centre of the field, which then gets used by kids as a playground. You really get the feeling of proper camping here, its just a nice place to be, particularly in the sun! Our pitch was sloping but many weren't.
The toilets/showers were modern and spotless, and were kept that way. The shower cubicles had an adjacent changing space but were quite narrow.
The shop was tiny and crammed full of all the stuff that a larger shop would have - fit to burst. Owners were always available and offered us use of an ehu extension lead without us asking, which was good of them.
The Shrewsbury arms is a short walk away, the food was decent pub style, nothing great but fine. They had good cask ales and a handsome patio and beer garden with kids playground. The site itself has a fish and chip cubicle on fridays/saturdays and do a mean portion of chunky chips.
Id recommend this site, and the camping field in particular.
We have just returned from our second stay at elm cottage and as on our first everything is spot on
The field is huge well kept and flat with plenty of space between tents as people have said before it does not have a playground and does not need one our granddaughter who is 5 had a great time and soon made friends with some lovely children
I truly think a play area is not needed as the children made their own fun and were safe as car owners abide by the rules and drive carefully
Every where is immaculate showers are hot and free
And as we had a baby with us we paid a 10 pound returnable deposit to use the baby change room where there is huge sink to bath the baby in and a pull down change unit this room also doubles up with disabled facilities with a shower and loo
There is a small shop and you can order your newspapers and other bits and bobs oh and great ice cream
There is a fish and chip van on Friday and Saturday you can order it for the time you want to eat and they have it ready they do other hot food as well every thing is hot fresh and well cooked and highly recommended
Behind the toilet block is a garden with owls all different breeds that our granddaughter had never seen close up before
All the staff are great and one even let me use their phone as I got myself in a bit of a pickle
With no phone and needed to get in touch with someone urgently
There is a pub in walking distance that does food
And a big asda not far away
Anyway I am going to stop raving about this place or there wont be any room to go back on the 26th
Just had a lovely weekend here at elm cottage, this was not our first time here.
Site is kept spotless, everything neat and tidy and is/ always has been a pleasure to stay here.
Very small shop on site to supply the basics good showers and toilets.
We, my wife 8 year old son and 70 year old mother stayed here, as it was the annual boat festival at middlewich which, if you are into that sort of thing is a great weekend.
If you stay here then I am sure you will not be disappointed, we never have been. This site will win awards and keep winning them.
To all at team at elm cottage keep up the great work.
Thoroughly recommend this site. Stayed 5 days, chose it because of good reviews, proximity to Cholmondeley for the Pageant of Power. Its also near Oulton Park motor racing circuit. Found lots of interesting villages & towns nearby e. G. Knutsford,
Saw craft shops, farm shops, Anderton Boat Lift etc.
Pitches are mostly hard standing. Our super premium pitch also had a waste drain, mains water, rubbish bin and picnic table.
The shower block is modern, lots of free hot water, and unlike the Caravan Club sites cleaning happens after lunch not when you want to use it after a lazy morning! Beautifully laid out and kept with lovely grass, plants, flowers and shrubs.
Aviaries at the rear house several species of owl.
The proprietors are cheerful and very helpful. Newspapers are delivered to order, and Friday and Saturday nights they fry fish and chips too! We will definitely be back.
Well we've just come back from our Jubilee Bank Holiday break to Elm Cottage which is our second visit in less than 12 months. Excellent all round. Welcome on arrival. Clean, organised and very well set out with 2 areas one for caravans and motor homes and one for tents. All central to the toilet blocks which were very well equipped and the wash up areas, laundry room and plenty of water facilities around.
Great Fish and Chips on a Friday and Saturday nights! This is a must and we will definitely be back again.
Had to write review on this site as it is our favourite local site. Toilet and shower block is fantastic, always clean and tidy and warm. The owl sanctuary is a lovely little extra added to the site.
Pot wash is indoors which makes a change and they even supply a pot rack for draining.
This is a fantastic site and all staff are wonderful.
Only criticism I would make is that there should be more electric points.
I don't write many reviews, but felt the impulse to write one having returned from Elm Cottage.
What can I say but Excellent!
We were greeted with a warm and efficient welcome. How refreshing it was to see staff around with a friendly smile and hello each day. Nothing was too much trouble.
The site was immaculate. Everything was in its place to ensure our stay was comfortable.
Wifi and a large dog were added pluses. No play area, but that suits us fine [even though we have a five year old] No play area = peaceful! Lovely walks and runs nearby. Quiet, relaxing and easy access to explore Chester and the surrounding area. Highly recommended.
Just got back from this site after a weekend stay. Two adults and a ten year old. The site was exceptionally clean, recycle facilities for rubbish.
Plenty of showers/toilets/washing up facilities.
The pitch sizes if you have hook up in the rally field were not massive ( our tents 5 meters wide and fit snugly) we were on pitch two which was quite flat, some other the higher numbered pitches did look on a slope.
No play area which we new before we went but plenty of open areas for the kids ( not for flying kites as it does tell you in the reviews due to live wires over the site.
The road noise can be heard but didn't bother us, the noise from Oulton park also through the day.
Camped here for 4 nights with 4 friends and 11 children between us!The camping field was huge and mowed a lot and was very safe as our ages of children ranged from 3 - 13years.
The site was very clean, showers and toilets immaculate and cleaned regularly.
The little shop on site was ok and reasonably priced however there was an Asda, Aldi approx 5mins by car away.
The launderette was very good and if you don't have any soap powder with you you could buy 2 tablets from the on site shop for 25p!
We also had fish and chips from the on site fryer (open friday saturday)which were nice and saved you a night cooking, also we found a local chinese who would also deliver to the site for £1.
Overall a really good site the only thing lacking was a playground, however this was probably reflected in the price.
Just returned from a week at this immaculate site. We arrived at 11am and the wardens allowed us to pitch, they were very friendly and great with the kids. They do a wonderful job keeping the site immculate, from the first class facilities, to the grounds, and Owl garden.
There is a slight bit of road noise that you can hear from the pitches with electric, but nothing to worry about.
There is a Frydays fish and chip van every Fri/Sat, also a little shop for the basics.
There is a laundry that is very good if you need to do any emergency washing. Along with good washing up sinks.
No need for a play park as the kids make there own fun, and all play together, in the middle of the field.
There is a Asda and Morrisons within 5 miles of the site.
Chester Zoo is about 30 mins away, with several National Trust places very close by also.
A lovely site with first class facilities. Will be returning again next year for our third visit.
This weekend we stayed at this site for approximately the 10th time however this was the first time with our new to us caravan. Previously we have stayed in the rally and camping field with our Orchy 600, this time we were on the touring field with the caravan.
In terms of service nothing much has changed in the four summers that we have been visiting the site, the amount of work put in to keeping the site nice by both the owners and the wardens is clearly evident.
The site has a touring field that is reserved for caravans only, this comprises of a mixture od hard standings, grassed pitches with gravel strips for wheels and totally grassed pitches. These are not the biggest pitches in the world but are immaculately kept. The grass is cut nice and short, the borders are well maintained and the hanging baskets are blooming! Along side this is a rally/ camping field which has recently been marked put with numbered
Itches where previously it was a park where you want type of filed- this can only be considered an improvement as the marked pitches are extremely generous. The last time we stopped here we had an orchy 600 with an front extension and car and room to spare on our allocated space - lovely.
On site there is a heated shower/ toilet block with free hot showers which is well maintained and kept clean and well stocked. The block also houses a wash up area with an abundance of free hot water, a small token operated laundry as wel as fresh water, Gray water and elsan point.
The shop is well and thoughtfully stocked and open late. Newspapers are delivered daily and can be ordered on arrival. A chippy vAn is available I the evenings on a weekend.
Other facilities on site include a motor home service point.
Some reviewers have noted that there is no children's play area, however there is plenty of space for children to amuse themselves in the centre of the rally field without bothering other people, so I don't see this as a minus point.
Locally here is plenty to do, Delamere forest is a couple of miles away, Oulton park is a short walk, most of the best visitor places in cheshire are within driving distance as are Chester, Manchester and Liverpool.
There is a spar shop a few minutes away ( turn left from the campsite, take the first exit from the small roundabout then bear right and it is on this road next to a petrol station ), and asda is not far ( turn left out of the site, turn right at the 1st round about, left at the second, straight over the third roundabout then take the next right where the sign posts indicate a shopping centre).
Nearest caravan and camping shop is known locally as harringtons and is just a couplle of miles away. (turn right out of site, straight on at the lights then take the first right by the fish pool inn pub, right at the next junction and it is on you right, beware of fixed speed camer on this road).
There is a pub within an easy walk from the site but if you have time then the longer walk (couple of miles) in the same dire tin will find the fish pool inn which is extremely popular locally for both food and beer.
No review would be complete without mentioning the very reasonable site fees. It must also be noted that there isn't a huge list of extras to be paid for on top of your pitch, dogs and awnings go free!
