Liked: Absolutley fabulous campsite. We have just got back from a lovely 3 night stay, plenty of space to pitch up very clean pitches. Tracey and Colin lovely with children allowing them to feed and pet animals and collect eggs,lovely dog also there my children loved the animals and pip. Could use their fire pits if you purchased logs from them £6 a night which we thought was brilliant. Facilities are spotless however only 2 toilets and 1 shower which is not a problem as site only has a maximum of 8-10 pitches. Also field for kids to play with football goals. I can't recommend this site enough we enjoyed it from start to finish, will definitley be going back. Great value for money

Liked: Lovely, clean site. Owners very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. We really enjoyed our stay.
Disliked: Only 1 shower- it wasn’t actually a problem as we never needed to wait to use it but felt like we had to rush incase anyone else was waiting.

Liked: Small site with a personal touch. Very friendly and attentive hosts. Really enjoyed our stay.
Disliked: Could do with an extra shower, toilet, sink and washing up facilities as there was a queue at peak times. Though I just tried to avoid when it was busy.

Liked: We absolutely loved our weeks stay here, Colin & Tracy are absolutely lovely people, always making sure everybody was okay, recommending great places to go, one of them being the Crocky trial which was the best day out!
They even made us a cup of tea whilst packing up our tent which I thought was so so kind 🥹
Colin was always allowing the children to feed the animals and their dog pip what a lovely dog she is, my girls loved her.
Seen a few people complaining about the one shower, but we stayed for 6 nights and managed to get a shower every single day/night whenever we went it was always free, so no problems for us there.
Besides the weather we had the most amazing time, and it doesn’t even compare to the other camp sites we have stayed on, we are definitely coming back here, I cannot recommend it enough, thank you Colin & Tracy for an unforgettable experience 😊
Disliked: Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Liked: Swallow farm is a lovely, charming place. Tracy and Colin are so welcoming, you can feel how much they love hosting. They are attentive, chatty and happy to recommend places to visit.
The site is set in beautiful countryside and has sheep, llamas, goats and pigs which you can feed.
It’s a wonderful site which we would love to come back to.

Liked: Site was welcoming and small, provision for the children was really good - selection of toys and scooters etc as well as a large field away from the tents that had a proper football goal in it. Children could help with animals and loved having them so close.
Plentiful warm water in toilet block that was kept clean and maintained.
No cars on the site (apart from (un)loading) made for a more relaxed space, less noise when people were heading out/returning and a safer space for children to roam.
Close enough to Chester etc that it was easy to get to places but rural enough to be away from it all too.
Disliked: Blink and you miss it with regard to the site entrance, a sign opposite the entrance would be a great addition.
Car park was pretty tight.
Wash block - only one shower, two toilets (one of which was in the same room as the shower), one sink and one washing up sink. Little to no shelving to place things like wash bags. Six pitches resulted in regular queues for the shower and getting children through teeth cleaning etc with only one sink was challenging at times.

Definitely will be telling friends with kids to go here.

Liked: Beautiful small site. All enclosed and safe for children. I like that cars have to stay in the car park. Children all play together on the site and in the separate field.
The owners Colin and Tracy are so accommodating and fabulous with the children.
The children get involved with feeding the animals and collecting eggs which they love.
On hot days the children were all given ice lollies which was very kind.
Toilet and shower block always very clean and tidy. Always stocked with toilet paper and paper towels.
It's in a great location and so close to so many fabulous attractions perfect for all ages.
It has very flat pitches and generous space too. Campfires are also allowed and logs etc available to purchase on site. It now has a little shop too for those daily essentials so no need to leave site.
We love this site and will definitely be back. Thank you for another fabulous visit 😁
Disliked: Nothing.
