  • Wooded eco-site for guests aged 12+ in the Cheshire countryside
  • A 20-minute drive to the Sandstone Trail, and 45 minutes to Chester
  • Cabins with kitchenettes, plus three fishing ponds on site
Surrounded by farmland on one side and Llangollen Canal to the other, Wild Escapes is a woodland eco-site for guests aged 12+ surrounded by mature trees and overlooking three wildlife ponds. Each pond is well stocked with fish, so guests are welcome to bring a rod (catch and return only). Set in the village of Wrenbury on the Cheshire-Shropshire border, the space makes a peaceful retreat for guests looking to get back to basics for the weekend. Accommodation is in nifty cabins, dotted over the two-acre woodland – with a variety of oaks and weeping willows – so privacy is pretty much guaranteed. Each cabin has private basic cooking facilities and access to a shower. The site has both flushing and composting toilets, and the only power is for the lighting systems – bring your phones fully charged. It’s also only suitable for guests aged 12 and over, due to the ponds not being fenced off. Nantwich (10 minutes’ drive) is the nearest town, with more pubs than you could possibly visit over a weekend. It also has numerous places to eat – including Italian, Thai and American cuisine – (no need to be a slave in the kitchen then) as well as more than 100 listed buildings to check out.

Kingfisher cabin

Liked Loved every moment of it the cabin was immaculate and surrounding was out of the world peaceful is not the word even better.You can hear the traffic behide the canal but once your in the cabin you can't hear anything they have thought of everything I am very hard to please and we loved it. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank George for bring us cold packs after work. Fishing maggots work but If warm night fishing would be better

Disliked Fish hard to catch. But evening fishing or when cooler or ever night fishing would be better

Clean house and clean cooking area.

Kingfisher cabin

Liked Lovely escape in a fabulous setting to get away from our hectic lives. The cabin was perfect with everything you needed. Right on the canal with plenty of walks and not far from the village amenities. Our son caught a couple of perch whilst fishing. The bed was so comfy! We loved our stay. Thank you

Disliked Nothing really apart from maybe the cost for 1 night which was expensive. We would stay more often if a bit less.

Overall a lovely stay just wish it could have been longer

The Willow 2 bedroom cabin

Liked The location was lovely, picturesque. The willow cabin was great very spacious and all you need to a nice stay! Ample parking and locked gates is a nice touch for security. Nice short walk along the canal to the local village with a nice village store, and local pub.
BBQ/ cooking facilities and equipment provided is a nice touch and the toilet/shower block was clean and a nice warm shower.
