A lovely site with great views. Grass and hardstanding as mentioned in other reviews. Farmer very pleasant and helpful. Excellent pub at end of lane with fantastic food (The Jolly Thresher) - 20% discount if you say you are on the CL. Will definitely use again, yes its on the flight path from Manchester but this didn't disturb us at night.
More like a very expensive French aire
We booked this site to visit the Tatton garden show for which it was very handy. However, we were told to park on a cinder ed parking area, more like a car park as it filled up. The field had a couple of caravans, but for some unknown reason, motorhomes were clustered closely together. We parked on the edge of the field as we use a standalone awning. We felt £14 a night was far too steep for this site, especially the area we had to park in. We had a view, but some motorhomes wouldn't have had a view at all. There are no facilities but it does have electric. We had to use levelling blocks too.
Lymm is a nice town and The Jolly Thre asher pub at the end of the lane was excellent in all respects and very reasonable.
The CL owner was fine on the phone when booking, but not warm and welcoming when we arrived at all, as we drove off he didn't even raise his head and wave, not impressed with that aspect. Would use again for Tatton, for convenience , but only for a night. Worth mentioning that it's under the flight path fRom Manchester airport which could be intrusive for some, I'm deaf so it didn't especially bother me.
Grand for us.
This CL has 3 H/S pitches as well as 5 grass ones. It is easily accessed, being about 4 mls off the M6 and the M56. There are extensive views from Rivington Pike in the west all the way across the West Pennine Moors to the Peak district in the east, especially spectacular at night. There are a couple of pubs in the village, one which gives a discount on meals to those staying in the site. There is also a Costcutter supermarket in the village for those that need supplies. There are numerous N/T properties close by, eg Dunham Massey, Tatton Park and Quarry Bank Mill. For those that like a walk or cycle ride the Bridgewater Canal is about a mile from the site and the Trans Pennine Trail a further 1/2ml on. Although we considered it a little expensive at £14pn for a CL without a toilet/shower we would certainly use it again should we want to be in that area another time.
Good base
A very pleasant CL with wonderful views across to Manchester and the Pennines. Owners were friendly and helpful. Site was large enough that you didn't feel on top of each other and you could enjoy the quiet and privacy. Trees sheltered the site from the prevailing wind.
Grass was rather long and although cut twice while we were there, it remained long - probably because there had been a protracted wet spell.
Easy access to motorways and main roads. Great centre for touring.

Fantastic location
This is one of the most convenient sites we go to. It is a short distance from the picturesque village of Lymm and is a stones throw from two fantastic pubs. The views overlooking Manchester at night are spectacular. The only minor downside is the distance from the field to the chemical waste disposal point. The site has easy access which is a real plus.
Nice Site
Pleasant site with helpful owner. on side of farm overlooking fields. Entrance best approached from A56 direction of traffic lights 20 yards up the road .
Excellent pub Jolly Thresher at traffic lights A56/ only 5mins walk.
Would I stay again Yes.
A great CL
We stayed for 2 nights as we were attending a dog show in the local area. Nigel, the site owner, was very welcoming and happy to accomodate us with our 3 rough collies. His dog Mickey provided some entertainment for them as well.
Very easy to find/access and a beautiful location with great views. The cows in the neighbouring field all came running over to meet us when we arrived. Several pubs within a short walk.
Would highly recommend and we will definitely stay again if we are in the area.
Fantastic views
The views are fantastic from the cl.
We have a motorhome and the hard standing
Was a real bonus.
We are national trust members so found the
LocalPlacesOfInterest great for visiting quarry bank mill
About 10 miles Tatton park and hall 8 miles
And Dunham Massey 4 miles.
Highly recommend
The only downside we felt the price at £14 was a little
Expensive as no toilet or showers.
A hidden gem
During our stay here the owners laid a hardstanding area which was very welcome due to the heavy rainfall and the fact we were in a motorhome.
The view from the field is a superb panorama from Winter Hill to the Pennines which you don't expect on arrival.
The owners Nigel and Janet were very welcoming and accommodating.
Very peaceful location and yet only a 2 minute walk from a great store/post office and pub with a large garden. The village of Lymm is also a short walk away.
It's also on a bus route and only a mile from the Trans Pennine trail and Bridgewater canal which leads to nearby Dunham Massey.
I would highly recommend this site if you are planning to visit this area.
