Heaven on Earth

This site is in a beautiful part of the world, and Tim and Ivan immediately made us welcome, and showed us around the site. We had a lovely pitch overlooking fields, and the gardens are absolutely stunning. We found the robot lawnmowers very entertaining! We loved the "shed shower" and "shed loo", both of which are great. The site is located in an easy place to make a base for the surrounding area, and the nearby village of Malpas and the Cholmondeley Arms are lovely and well worth a visit. Tim and Ivan made us very welcome and at home, and even shared some spare plums from their tress - lovely. The site is very peaceful, and we had a fantastic week, and left refreshed and rejuvenated. We cannot recommend this site enough, and will definitely be returning in the near future.

Good but could be GREAT!!

Just returned from our weekend at Manor Farm. I echo all of the previous reviewers comments. The gardens and site are kept immaculate. We had to do some serious manoeuvring to get on the last remaining pitch (we don't have a mover). There are trees which encroach on the pitches too which reduces the space available. There were 6 vans on site all weekend although the one next to us left Saturday and a replacement pitched on the field where we were told we couldn't pitch on our Friday arrival :-( Prices were also put up by £4 a night to £20 due to Dogfest at Cholmondeley Castle, we were pre warned but our neighbours said they were not! As my title suggests this is a good CL but could be a GREAT CL if the pitches were spaced out more into the adjoining field which it seems is used as and when. There would then be loads of space for the 6 caravans!

Friendly site in beautiful countryside

Had a really enjoyable stay at this site recently. The site is on the owners large estate, which has a beautiful pond and formal gardens. The area is peaceful and the owners are very friendly. You are surrounded by trees and fields, lots of nice walks and good pub nearby. The only downside is the field is too small for 5 vans to be comfortable - you are VERY close to next van esp if you are the middle van like us - the end ones are OK (ask for an end pitch). There is an empty field next to it and it's a shame vans can't go on here as would make the site perfect! The shower cubicle was really good, but the toilet was in a shed and I didnt feel this gave enough privacy as was next to owners house so people back and to a lot around it and walls very thin if you know what I mean! It could also be locked from outside too! and just needs a few more toilet rolls in there. Toilet and shower very clean though. There were some dogs off leads and the owners need to just remind people that they should keep them on leads so that they don't bother other people and other people's dogs. All in all though a lovely place, friendly owners, peaceful and great walking around and about - we will definitely be back.

Pleasant site

Storm Doris had left its mark but no more than anywhere else in fact the site held up quite well. The owner was pleasant and met up with us on our arrival to arrange the best place to put our caravan.. (this was not on the pitches but they looked level and big enough)... we were asked to go on the edge of the normal pitching area which was no problem at all. I would of loved to have given Manor Farm cl 5 starts but the facilities were not great in to be honest I was closer to giving it a 3. The toilet is in a shed which I have no problem with but there was no paper and the toilet did not flush as it had no water going to it which left one of my party in a bit of a pickle...(say no more shall we). Perhaps this was an early season oversight and I am sure it will be put right. On saying all this if its peace and quiet you want then this is the place.

Nice quiet break

Just returned from a long weekend break here, lovely site in a great location. The owners have worked to make this a good CL with shower & toilet, really friendly hosts. The only little niggle being the pitch sizes, as they have installed hard standing that are not big enough to fit car, caravan & awning. Being only a single pace apart it would be overcrowded if full even with the cars parked off the CL area

Super location

Spent three nights at this lovely CL in March 2016. Good, level pitches with lovely views of the surrounding fields. The site has a nearby duck pond, ducks, geese, hens and golden pheasants, it really is a beautiful place, that I bet looks even better in spring and summer. Highly recommend the Cholmondeley Arms pub, superb steak and gins!! Will definitely return.

Price Watch!!!!!!!

I have tried to be fair with the star ratings as we never came here for the following reason: We were looking for a quick, cheap and simple stop over for a single night - attracted by the £7 per night price advertised on here. Aware that it is a minimum price I was prepared for the fact that there might be a slight increase. However, I was quoted a whopping £15 for the night! That's more than double on here! Needless to say I therefore kindly declined the offer of a booking! So, be warned, make sure you check the price before you stay and that you are happy with it! Surely there must be some rule against suggesting a price and then more than doubling it!?!?

Return Visit

On returning this year it appeared that the site was in need of a bit of TLC, as the hard pitches were filling in with weeds & the grass was rather long. Following on from all the discussions concerning spacing between vans, should all the hard pitches be full with caravanners erecting awings there would not be the required space between the units. The site is ideal for anyone who wishes to walk the Sandstone Trail. There is a good farm shop 3/4ml down the road, a small Co-op at Malpas, and Tesco at Whitchurch is the nearest large supermarket. There are 3 good pubs for meals all within 3 mls from the site but too far to walk comfortably. Manor Farm has cottages to rent and also does B&B. As the site is nice quiet I would definitely recommend it for those wanting a peaceful site well within stricking distance of both Chester & Wrexham.
