  • Well-equipped countryside park 12 miles from Chester
  • Award-winning amenities, plenty of space and Chester Zoo ticket sales
  • Seasonal pool, fishing lakes, tennis, play area, games and café
Some people prefer to keep their holidays very basic and remote indeed. Some people do not – and seek a spot with excellent leisure facilities, spotless amenities and customer-friendly approach… the better to get on with the important aspects of a holiday without stressing about the essentials. If this too is you, make your way to Manor Wood Country Park in green Cheshire countryside, where there’s loads to do on site, and where the amenities are so immaculate they’ve been given awards. Off site is pretty pleasing too, as Manor Wood is an easily accessible 25 minutes’ drive from Chester, Chester Castle and Chester Racecourse – and Chester Zoo, so say the kids, who’ll doubtless point out that their grownups can buy zoo tickets on site too. The park is in a nicely rural setting, home to two fishing lakes that adults and families can cast off at, and to a vast range of leisurely options indoors and out. The outdoor pool is open from the beginning of May through to September (whatever the weather), a climbing frame and play area are in the grounds and a games room with pool, table football and table tennis is indoors to take care of any inclement times. Back outside, tennis courts are available free of charge to all customers. A minute’s drive or half a mile’s stroll from Coddington, Manor Wood is surrounded by Cheshire and Nottinghamshire villages to pick up local produce and picnic bits and pieces. Make time/room too for a foray to the Lakeside Café on several occasions during your stay, for breakfast, snacks and light lunches to have indoors or outside while the kids investigate the play area; the café building also has free wifi, takeaway options and a small shop selling essentials and caravan supplies. Dogs are welcome too... so much so that they have their own section on the menu... Those who prefer things just a little quieter on their countryside holiday are invited to book from Monday to Friday in low season, to soak up the peaceful Cheshire surrounds in a more peaceful manner.

This well-maintained site is praised for its clean and modern facilities, friendly staff, and plentiful activities for children, including a popular heated outdoor pool and play areas. Guests appreciate the spacious pitches, good Wi-Fi, and picturesque setting with fishing lakes.

Kate S.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The pool was nice but a bit awkward that you have to book and can only book one 45 minute slot per day. Showers and toilets clean and modern looking, lovely enclosed dog walk.

Disliked Booking for the pool and the showers only go for very short bursts. Some very noisy groups not adhering to the 10pm quiet time, we were kept awake until 2am on our last night despite asking them nicely to keep their voices down as they were waking the kids up- think it would be better to separate groups with kids away from groups of adults.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Site location was great and my children loved the milkshakes and ice cream machines.
Lovely nature walk and views around the site. Staff were friendly although it seemed to be a very small team.

Disliked The toilets and showers were not very clean, the pool was unsupervised and as the site was very busy became busy and seemed dangerous at times.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Good campsite. Loved the outdoor pool,warm showers and toilets were always well stocked when I used them. Good location for trips out. There was an incident when we were there with a camper and police had to be called but it was dealt with swiftly. Mostly people were considerate and quiet after 11pm so that was good and plenty for kids to do. Would recommend overall.

Disliked Lots of large groups seemed to have come together.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked It’s a beautiful place to stay, family friendly and also dog friendly which is great. Clean and tidy all around the park. Loads for children to do. Very safe for children to play and enjoy themselves.

Disliked Public bathrooms and shower facilities require to be cleaned a bit more than their usual. Pool area requires to be supervised more as some were using pool without a set time. Pool was over loaded at times.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The location and activities available - the pool, table tennis, lake and park. Also the cafe was great! And lovely, and kind staff in the office.

Disliked Noisy neighbours talking loudly after 11pm. (The office staff was going to take this up with the culprits!). Also, unfortunately our pitch bordered far too close to caravans and other tents. We felt rather cramped. Maybe a bit busy for us but great for families who come as a group.

Local attractions

There’s plenty to do around Manor Wood for those days you’re not mooching around Chester (although do mooch around Chester for some considerable time too.) Drive about five minutes’ south for walks around the green space lying between Stretton and Clutton; a golf course and Stretton Watermill are here to stop off at. Beeston Castle, 20 minutes’ drive away just outside Tarporley, is a site of fortress ruins on a sandstone plain with spectacular views – across eight counties and over to Wales. Kids now revolting after watermill and castle time? The rides, farm and many flavours of The Ice Cream Farm adventure park are within 15 minutes’ drive.
