Date of Visit: January 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Greeneyes208 3 reviews from this member

 Spent 3 nights here over the new period. Excellent campsite with wonderful toilet block, modern, spotlessly clean at all times and the underfloor heating was heavenly in below zero temperatures.

They had the freezing conditions catered for by having an indoor tap for when the one outside one froze (which it did).

Lots to do in the surrounding area with historic Chester just under 15 miles away. Delamere Forest and the Shire Horse centre are also within a short distance.

The owls were a big hit with my eldest daughter but they both missed having a playground.

I agree with the other reviews that there can be some road noise but we didn't notice it as much after the first night.

Will definitely be making a return visit!

Reviewer: Mrmotorx 89 reviews from this member

 Just the same as last time brill, easy to find, great location small without it being cramped. Pitch space is amazing plenty of room. Toilets and showers are always spotless. Little things that I really like are 1) tap to fill water carry up has a nozzle on it so it pours into your tub no need for a flex pipe/hose. 2) elsan, empting separate flush and short hose pipe very clever setup. I know ( god is that all you can say about the site) no I could go on for ages but why should i, get booked in and find out for yourself, you wont be disappointed.

Very very helpful staff cannot do enough for you nothing is too much trouble.

 Visited for two nights found a lovely clean and very welcoming site. It was our first outing in our new caravan. Owners were welcoming and helped us park (my first time reversing a 25ft caravan). Grass was like a mowed front lawn,new shower block and other facilities were immaculate and heated as well.Showers were free and a hair dryer in the ladies pure luxury.

Only down side was we were near the main road so there was quite a bit of road noise not too bad over other side of the site,but it was worth putting up with would definitely return.

 Just came back from a two night stay, as first time campers we wanted some where local. Greeted by the owners at reception when we booked in, then shown to the camping field. The pitches were great, nice short grass which looks like it gets cut on a regular basis.

We could not fault any of the facilities, the showers, toilets and the washing up area were spotless and were clean no matter what time of the day you used them. The shrewsbury arms pub is only a three minuets walk from the site and do great meals. Winsford town centre is only 10 minuets drive for all your other shopping.

The dog walking area is a great idea.

The staff work really hard to keep the site looking as it is and this is a credit to them.

The only downfall we experienced was the traffic during the night, but as this is the main a54 chester to winsford road the noise is to be expected.

Would we visit the site again. This is a great big yes.

 Booked at last minute for a one night stay with my young daughter. Lovely site - very well maintained with excellent facilities. New amenity block with heating a fantastic addition - no more cold feet getting out of the shower! Separate cubicle with sink for private washing.

Large camping field with lots of space for children and grown ups alike to play in the centre. Only a few EHU for tents though.

Gem of a site - owners/staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Owl garden a big hit with my daughter - a visit each time she needed the loo!

Minor point - no playground but lots of space to play ball games etc.

Others have said about road noise - yes there is some if you pitch along the hedge on the left as you enter the camping field so head to the right hand side if you want a quieter night.

Very handy for local attractions and at £12.50 a night - a bit of a bargain!

Will be going back next year with the rest of the family!

Reviewer: Montysmum+dad 3 reviews from this member

 Spent the weekend at this site with friends, all in tents. Nice quiet site with lots of space for the kids to run around and play. Facilities were excellent and very clean, the kids especially liked the owls. Lots to do around the area but we only visited Delamere Forest as we were there such a short time. Winsford town centre about a five minute drive away for supplies, has a large supermarket in the centre.

All round very good for our break, chose the site as it was dog friendly and not too far fro home.

Reviewer: Mojymoomin 1 review from this member

 Just visited this site for the first time. My daughter and I just fancied a couple of days away and she hadn't been in the caravan before. We were met by very friendly staff who showed us where all the amenities were and if we had any problems we could go straight to them which was reassuring since my daughter is 14 and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to manage setting up on my own. Were shown onto pitch which had plenty of room.

Site was quiet (thursday) by friday it was full. Road noise was an issue but it seemed to quieten down at night so didn't seem to deter sleep. Lovely hot showers, loos. Washing facilities all immaculately clean and despite being busy never had to queue. Ate one night at the shrewsbury arms. Friendly staff and great food.

Grounds well maintained always someone doing something to keep it looking good. Small garden area with owl enclosures which again was kept immaculate. Nice place to just sit and be. Definitely go back again.Morning paper a nice touch

 Lovely site with exceptional toilet and washing facilities.

We visited twice in 2 weeks for the weekend we loved it so much!

My children loved the owls and the horses in the field next door.

Very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere.

Central to lots of things to do - a must do is a visit to the icecream farm (but take a sat nav as its difficult to find!)

The only downside which has been mentioned before is the closeness of the road which does get annoying and even seems to get worse at night as it is the main road in to winsford - so lots of lorries all through the night.I believe also a small play area for the children would be a good addition.Other than the road one of the nicest campsites I've been to in years (and I've been to many!)

Reviewer: Rykism 3 reviews from this member

 This site is fantastic - well maintained camping field that is mown on daily basis whilst we were there. The toilets and showers are of an excellent standard - we certainly made full use of the facilities and never felt cold after using them. There is a small but well stocked shop on site and they also offer a newspaper service for your stay - all the essential items are available at the shop. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. For other shopping needs the local town of Winsford is just a short drive away approx 10 mins. The local cafe at the shopping centre is also to be recommended (The Humble Pie) excellent food at excellent prices. Plenty of attractions within an hours drive away. The site also has a small garden area complete with owls and chipmonks. This site also has bed and breakfast facilities available. We took our two children age 7 and 15 aswell as Grandma 67. The site also has laundry and kitchen wash up facilities. We will most definitely be going back to Elm Cottage and give this site 10/10 for all amenities.

Reviewer: Detoxben 2 reviews from this member

 Visited Elm Cottage for a weekend break - we fancied something fairly local for getting away to after work.

Upon arrival at the site, we were greeted to a very friendly welcome and given plenty of local advice. One thing I'd never been offered before was a newspaper for the morning, although I didn’t take them up on the offer it was a nice touch.

We found a nice area to pitch that had just been freshly mowed that was nice and flat. Although reasonably close to the road, it quietened down in the evenings and didn’t have any trouble sleeping.

A small shop in the reception that sells the essentials at very reasonable prices and a gardened area round the back of the toilet block has some owls.

The toilets, showers and washing up facilities were spotless and couldn’t fault them. Hot showers and even heated floors (this was a big hit with the misses).

After a recommendation by the people in the reception, we paid a visit to the local pub, Shrewsbury Arms, for an evening meal. The food was great and plenty of it, really good value for money.

Plenty of things to do in the local area and a huge array of leaflets/brochures in the reception.

Will be returning to the site soon I hope!

Reviewer: Andyboylester 7 reviews from this member

 We've used this site several times as it's near to the in-laws. There is no children's play area, but there the negative comments stop! The staff are great - very friendly and helpful, and the facilities are superb. The showers are hot and free, the loos are spotless, and they are close to the tent field. The noise from the road wasn't all that intrusive, and certainly didn't keep my two year old or four year old awake. The shop stocks basic essentials (as well as some lovely locally made preserves), and some good value toys for the kids. If you need a more extensive shop, Asda in Winsford is a ten minute drive.

A great site for exploring the area, which has loads of days out nearby. Chester Zoo, Lyme Park and Jodrell Bank are particular favourites.

Oh, It's cheap as chips, too. Excellent value for money.

 After staying in the area the previous weekend, we decided to go back the following weekend but to a different site, we found Elm Cottage.

Elm Cottage is a lovely site, we had a lovely time, plenty of room to pitch and the wardens / owners were lovely and helpful.

The facilities were spotless and everything we needed, the showers were free and hot, the dish washing areas were clean and sheltered and free hot water again.

We ordered a daily newspaper on check in and every morning it was there for us to collect at the mini shop/office. A very nice touch.

There isn't many electric hook ups for tents, could do with more, and it hasn't a park for the children but they are allowed to play on the camping field, so that isn't a problem.

The town center of Winsford is only 5 mile away and there is a pub within walking distance, we didn't go this time but will next time.

For £12.50 a night I thought it was well worth it, we are hoping to go back in a few weeks time, ideal location for visiting the lovely surrounding areas.

Reviewer: Gemmafoster 1 review from this member

 Just back from a very enjoyable weekend stay at Elm Cottage and have to say it was lovely. Stayed in a tent on the main field - 4 adults and a toddler. Tent went up fine (only a few stones to contend with!). Facilities were all very clean (very important!). We found the disabled/parent toddler room SO useful! Accessed by Radar key (available for £10 deposit returned on departure if you don't have one), and it was superb facility. Belfast Sink to bathe babies/small toddlers, then general wet room with walk-in shower, all the usual grab rails, wet seat etc. Made our stay much easier! The rest of the site very clean and tidy too. Laundry room (washer, drier, ironing board - all available at a small charge), recycling facilities, dish-washing room etc.

Site was fairly busy but we had no problems with using facilities etc. Small shop for essential basics. Owl garden lovely. Well kept gardens / flowers/hanging baskets etc. Regularly saw staff collecting rubbish etc.

Only real downside was the road noise ~ unfortunately it is on a busy road and you can't really avoid the traffic noise. Might have been a little better at the very far side of field but then further to get to facilities?! Not sure how that could be overcome - maybe take ear plugs?!

Other than that, a lovely stay and would use the site again. :)

P.S. Blakemere Craft centre well worth a visit. Winsford 'town' - don't bother! only 10miles to Chester.

Reviewer: Megdale 2 reviews from this member

 A great site - the facilities are the nicest I have come across for years! The toilet block was clean and warm with a separate male/female section with plenty of toilets and showers in both.

There is a really nice indoor area for washing up with two sinks and hot water and a laundry room with washing and drying facilities. The site is really well laid out and although we do not have a dog the separate walking area for dog owners round the edge is a really good idea. The grass pitches are cut which is really good if it rains because the ground drys out quickly. It must be a well drained site because although it had rained quite a bit before we arrived we did not have a problem with mud.

We took 2 children under 6 with us and they loved the site - particularly the owls in the garden at the back of the toilet block. There are plenty of attractions within a close drive of the site - We had a really good day out at Beeston Castle and Chester is not too far away.

Some reviewers have noted how close the site is to the main road - which it is - but while I am usually really sensitive to road noise I hardly noticed it and it did not stop me sleeping!

The site is well signposted and easy to find. We had a great stay and it is on my list of places to go back to.

 Just got back from visiting Elm Cottage.

A long week end stay with my wife and son and his friend (5th July).

What more can you say about this camp than already has been said, A cracker of a small site very clean , Toilets spotless and in easy reach of the shops and places to visit , Chester , Winsford to name a thew.

What a family friendly site and a price to match in these hard times.

I would recommend this site to anybody who wants a relaxing short break or longer with lots to do around the area.

We will visit again soon !
