Very clean, very friendly manicured and well equipped site. We stayed for four nights on a deluxe pitch overlooking the golf course.
Facilities were fantastic, swimming, golf, fishing, badmington, table tennis, lovely shops to walk around, well equipped site shop etc.
The boys spent one day fishing whilst us girls went shopping in Wrexham which has a huge variety of shops and a lot bigger than I really expected. Upon our return we went to meet up with the boys fishing. The fish were playing really well that day and on average, after casting out counted to approximately 5 seconds before they had a bite. A great source of entertainment!
Will definitely recommend and go back again with family.
Dee who booked us in was very pleasant & helpful and had a lovely yet firm manner with children when on duty in the pool
Pitch quite roomy – space for car and for sitting out.
It was fairly quiet by 11pm so we were able to get a good nights sleep.
Negatives
The grass on our pitch had been killed off by a previous tent so the bottom of our ground sheet was really muddy when it came to packing up, even though the weather was good.
I think if we were to go back we would ask for a pitch at the end of the meadow as there was more grass for the children to play on.
Firstly let me get to the main thing wrong with the site and then go to all the positives the site has to offer. Main gripe with the camp site is the position of the toilets. The tent field (spring meadows) is the furthest point away from the shower/toilet block ! How can this be ?? Situated right by static and 'here all year' caravans that seem to be abundant on this site, So the tenters have to walk at least 5 mins to get to the block to wash /wash up and relieve themselves.
On the plus side the pitches are large, nice quality grass and the toilets are clean and regularly checked. Staff are helpful and swimming pool shops and games area all good.
We're just back from a one-night stay at The Plassey. We took our 12 year-old daughter and one of her friends (who had never been camping before). We didn't have our son with us this time as he was away with the Cubs, but it was probably just as well as there isn't really anywhere to play and footballs are not allowed (although you can buy the foam ones in the well-stocked little shop). But that is the only downside we could find!
The site is lovely and well laid out. We had a warm welcome and found that all the staff we came into contact with went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. We were shown to our pitch and given lots of information about the site and the surrounding area.
We had a swim. The pool was gorgeous, very warm and not overcrowded. Apparently they limit swimmers to a maximum of 30. We also went on the well signposted walk around the site, golf course and fishing ponds. We also had a drink in the Treetops Bar which was reasonably priced and the girls made use of the playground, arcade, badminton and table-tennis areas. The Edwardian shopping village which is also on the complex was lovely to walk around as well.
The shower/toilet/washing-up block was wonderful. The showers were beautifully hot and it was spotlessly clean. The piped music was a nice touch, too!
This site is pricier than the sites we usually visit (which is why we only went for one night) but also had more facilities than we usually get as well and we would definitely go back again if we were feeling flush!
Having just spent a week here I can honestly say this is a superb site. We arrived on friday afternoon and had the choice of where to pitch,We picked the main field with a hard standing pitch for caravan and the awning on to the grass,
We were helped on to the pitch by one of the staff members and lined up so the pegs would go in to the grass. All the staff were very helpful and always there to give help and info,.
he shop is small but did cover the basics,The toilets/showers were always immaculate and clean. The swimming pool was great My daughter and I had it to ourselves for 1 session(£2.20 per person 90min session).
The treetops bar was pleasant enough only went a couple of times shame they had run out of Plassey beer though. The retail shops,coffee bar and the restaurant on site where all very good. The food in the restaurant was 1st class.
If you like to bbq go to the bottom of the long drive from the site and turn right and after 100 yds on your left there is a very good farm shop go early as it seemed to have a good following.
I asked in the reception if they could recommend a good pub for tea,Yes I was told and they have a bus and would come and pick us up and return us back to the camp for free,they even had the menu in reception, Fantastic.
Spoke to John the owner regarding fishing and hopefully there will be some restocking later this year or next,
If you like your walking there's a very nice walk all the way round the land taking in the golf course,fishing lakes,driving range etc
All in all I would recommend this site,We had a fantastic week there with fantastic weather,superb facilities and met some nice people who had been going there for many years.
We all really loved this site, park was great for the grandkids, as was the pool, while the sauna and bar was a hit for the adults. Nice size pitches and quite level, the shops were a nice diversion the grocery shop seemed to stock a good selection of food and bits and bobs.
We found the staff very friendly and helpful, nothing was to much trouble. One small point it could possibly do with a bus route pass the main gate.
All in all an excellent site, will definitely be going back Big thanks to all the staff for a great visit
We have just returned from a smashing Bank Holiday weekend at this site (touring caravan 2 adults, 2 older teens and a 5 yr old).
A couple of things have obviously changed since last years reviews - so I will note these first.
- Ball games are now allowed, but footballs must be of the foam variety. We didn't take ours with us due to reading the reviews here, but the shop sold them so we bought another :)
- There is no barrier on to the site. There are security bollards by reception which are lifted at 10pm until 8am.
On arrival however, do beware - the turning left into the reception courtyard is very tight (hubby nearly took the rear left hand side of the caravan off on the gatepost!)
Pitches:
We chose a pitch on the main field (the field in front of the treetops bar). The pitches along the road are hardstandings, whilst the others are all grass. Do take levellers with you as we were on a grass pitch which was sloping (only slight, but enough to send the blood rushing to your head if you slept the wrong way ;). The location of these pitches are second to none if you have children as they are very close to the toilets, play area, shop etc; and have a large grass area in the middle for ball games etc.
The premium serviced pitches are further on up the road and although undoubtedly lovely pitches (with open views of the countryside and golf course) they are further away from the toilets and there is no open area for children to play. I would say that these pitches are more suited to couples without children.
Pitches in all other areas (including the meadow) are of a reasonable size, but again, further to walk to toilets/showers/shop etc than the first field.
Facilities:
In a word - excellent. Toilets/showers etc were spotless the whole time we were there and smelled lovely and fresh - quite some achievement for a site over a Bank Holiday weekend. Fully booked with lots of children. Well done The Plassey!
Our three loved the swimming pool - it was warm and clean. Sure, it was £2.20 each for 1.5hrs, but they had a great time.
Older kids and adults also made good use of the two table tennis tables, two pool tables and badminton court (all undercover, so perfect for when the weather is not so great). There were also a couple of arcade game machines.
Treetops bar - Glass of wine + pint of Guiness = £6. Half of the bar accepts children, the other half adults only. Fairly small but overlooks the site from a height (great to people watch and admire other peoples caravans! :) It was nice to relax with a drink after setting everything up.
Shops:
The site shop is small & sells the very basics such as newspapers, bread, milk, a few tinned items, frozen pizzas & ice-cream, sweets, a few toys etc.
Other shops within the complex include a second-hand bookshop, 2 small ladieswear shops, small garden centre, toy/craft shop, ladies lingerie, ice-cream, restaurant, coffee shop, framing shop, kidswear boutique. All are small and fairly pricey - but great for a mooch around for an hour or so.
Staff:
Those that we came into contact with were all very friendly and eager to please.
Area:
Plenty to do in the surrounding area for adults and children alike (children will love Park Hall Farm near Oswestry - adults will love Llangollen with it's canal, horse-drawn narrowboats and Pontcysyllte viaduct).
The designer outlet of Cheshire Oaks is only a 30 min drive (Blue Planet Aquarium, TGI Fridays, Cinema Complex etc all in same location).
Overall:
A very enjoyable weekend at a lovely site. More expensive than our usual sites but for a weekend we were prepared to swallow the cost.
It's always a sign of a good weekend when the teenagers ask 'can we come back here later on this year?'.
We arrived in bright sunshine, parked by the security barrier and received a very warm welcome in reception. Once our reservation had been checked and the balance paid, the barrier was lifted and we were escorted to our pitch (which was very large, as are they all), offered assistance to pitch and shown the location of water taps, EHU's and ablution blocks. We were told to park alongside our tent and informed that all of the grass to the roadway constituted our pitch.
Twenty minutes after pitching a thunderstorm ensued followed by torrential rain for the next four days. The pitch remained well drained and we did not suffer any flooding or muddy areas around us. The staff were excellent and came to check that all was okay.There are also security patrols at night.
The ablution block was fantastic. Spotlessly clean, warm, constant hot water, illuminated vanity mirrors and sinks housed in private cubicles and piped in music. The utility sinks were also of a high standard.
The bins were emptied regularly, the site as a whole was pristine.
At the entrance to the Plassey there are several specialised shops, a bar, restaurants and a hair and beauty salon-which I can personally recommend.
There is a small indoor swimming pool and undercover table tennis.
The Plassey is situated in lovely countryside offering beautiful walks and the site is dog-friendly and offers a separate exercise area.
Close by are the picturesque villages of Overton and Bangor-on-Dee.
Despite the atrocious weather we had a great time and found plenty to do at this excellent site.
Having heard & read lots of good feedback about the Plassey, I had no hesitation booking it and was really looking forward to my weekend there.
Sitting here now, thinking back about the weekend, I have mixed views about the site.
Some of the good points have already been mentioned by others on here, but for me :
- A clean & well looked after site - The staff were very helpful & friendly - A good little shop on site - Nice & clean swimming pool - Plenty to do including A play park, pool tables, ping pong tables & badmington court etc
Having said that, the negatives are the things that stand out for me:
- It is expensive for what it is, you can get just as good elsewhere for half the price - Having to pay for the swimming pool - The showers & toilets, although clean, there were not many for the size of site - The road through the site was busy and not ideal for young children - With having a bar on site, there was some noise from people walking back at closing time - There was some teenagers walking around after dark making noise and running in and out of caravans
Update 19-05-10
I just wanted to commend the quality of customer service, I have received from the Plassey. Following my initial review on UKCampsite, the owner of the Plassey telephoned my wife and the person in the other party that was with us, to discuss the feedback.
We have been assured that the Plassey does not entertain such behaviour (relating to the unruly youths that were roaming the site, which was my main gripe), it was also suggested that we may not have been in the best spot (near the road). It was mentioned that this was not ‘the norm’ at the Plassey and that we were just unlucky.
Both parties have also received a letter from the owner stating how he wishes customers to be 110% happy and will do his utmost to resolve issues swiftly and has apologised.
I am really pleased with the customer service displayed by the Plassey to resolve this matter, based on this will likely give it another try in the not too distant future.
This was our third visit at this site, previously during summer of 2008 & 2007,
Always enjoyed the site itself, nice pool, clean shower blocks, great little park for the kids, nice sheltered badminton court, basically a very well kept clean site, and friendly staff too.
On arrival we were told that the bikes could not be ridden on the site! my kids not happy with that at all.
The site has be turned into more of a touring caravan park for the seasonal pitch, and only one other tent on the site during our stay
Overall we felt a bit disappointed with the site atmosphere as on previous years we have had a lot of fun with other campers at this site.
Visited this site several times over the last 12 months and it is brilliant. The children have lots to do and the swimming pool is great for rainy days. The toilets are very clean at all times.
We did not realise the time on night and the security that walk round the site at night politely asked us to keep the noise down. We fully respect that they want to keep the site quite after 11pm and we were not offended.
Plassey appears to becoming more 'Bulging Wallet Required' as time progresses.
It was our site of choice for Christmas and New Year breaks but sadly no more.
Didn't book 2010 for 2 reasons 1) The TreeTops bar was not opening for the New Years Eve party we enjoyed for years, and 2) the site owners are changing the use of as many pitches as possible from touring to static as quickly as possible.
No doubt tents will still be accommodated and some of the 'super' pitches may still remain available for tourers.
Just got home from a wonderful weekend with good friends at this site.
Great staff on booking and arrival - very helpful and smiley. Constant cleaning of toilets and refuse areas - all kept immaculately clean. Tried one of the delux pitches and it was great - hardstanding for 'van, gravel area for awning and own electric, water and drainage on post at side - heaven!
Good weather helped as we tried on of the three recommended walks - handy for those like us with dogs. Marvellous wildlife around the area too.
Everyone is mega friendly and we finished off the weekend with Sunday lunch at The Shippon (on site restaurant) - bit pricey but well worth it.
What a wonderful site this is and I would highly recommend this to anyone. The staff are fabulous,friendly and can not do enough for you.
The toilets are immaculate. There was some work going on near the super pitches which did not cause any problems what so ever, a member of staff was keeping all the hard standings clear of stones and leaves etc.
There are small craft shops, pub, 9 hole golf course, swimming pool which me and my husband and another coulpe had to ourselves one afternoon. We will be returning next year. Well done Plassey you have an excellent site and we will be recommending you to our friends and family.
This is a smashing site, well set out, staff very helpful indeed. Not one of the cheapest sites but one of the best for the way it is set out and how clean they keep it. We found the shower blocks were too small, every morning we had to queue for the showers, not good for a site as good as this is. The pub on the site is great, staff very good drinks are ok price wise.
You have to book and pay for the pool. All in all a very very good site we will be back suggest they alter the shower blocks
