The caravan site is in the field behind the holiday cottages and the barn. It is an unspoilt and undeveloped site in a large field with expansive open views. There is one portaloo cabin. Grey waste disposal is in the hedgerow of your choice.
The electric hook up points are widely spaced along the length of the fence bordering the field so it's a long walk from any pitch to the tap, and even further to the black waste where access is under a metal cover amid the undergrowth in an area unlit at night, but this is the price you pay for widely spaced pitches. You can always avoid dragging your toilet cassette across the field, the yard and into another field by stopping to empty your cassette as you leave the site.
This is not a manicured site, it's a field. There is a hardstanding area available before the entrance to the grass pitches which is used in the winter. There may be flies from the cow field next door. Bring wellies or at least ankle boots for the early morning dew or after rain as the grass is long. Enjoy the wonderful views, the birdsong, the rabbits hopping about in the evening and the quiet, despite the hum of distant motorway traffic.
We come here as the location is very convenient for visits to relatives and shopping at The Trafford Centre. Dunham Massey is nearby for a great day out, as is the National Trust's Quarry Bank Mill at Styal which will keep adults and children alike entertained and informed for a whole day. The caravan site is perfect if you like to chill in what feels like a rural location but which is very near amenities like the local shop and pub whose menu is pricey but delicious. Very conveniently there are eggs and bacon for sale from the friendly and helpful owner.
this is our second stop on this site and what a fantastic place.large field with loads of pitch space means you can park sideways on to take in the breathtaking views. the owners nigel and janet really helpful guiding us to numerous national trust sites nearby. bacon and eggs are sold at the farm and there is a 20% off meals deal at the two local pubs when you stop here which is great.lymm village nearby for walks.
We've stayed at this site several times now and it never fails to please. It's in a great location, near to Motorway, but right in the midst of countryside with probably the best views in Cheshire from every pitch! We found no less than 3 excellent pubs serving good food within walking distance, 2 very close and the 3rd right alongside the Bridgewater Canal which is a 15 minute walk or short cycle. There is a good shop just a few yards from the entrance to the site. Also very close is the Trans Pennine Cycle track which takes you to Warrington or Altrincham - we did both and found it easy, pleasant and interesting. The nearby village of Lymm is a picture postcard village alongside the canal, with very good facilities and eateries and with beautiful walks alongside the lake at the Lymm dam. We have spent several evenings parked in the Motorhome alongside the dam (free parking) eating a variety of meals from the excellent Chinese Fish & Chip takeaway in Lymm. There is always a lovely buzz about the village. The Motorways, Metrolink and Megabus make access to Manchester City fairly easy. The owner, Nigel and his wife live on site, overlooking the access drive which makes this a secure site, unlike another CL we stayed on in the area which made us feel quite nervous. Nigel goes out of his way to please everyone and as a bonus he sells fab fresh eggs and Bacon! We are already booking our next stay.
