Blakemere Touring Caravan Park

Liked: Shower blocks were great and well looked after. The on site staff were really friendly.
I liked that the Cheshire outdoors had things you could do, although some we wanted to try quite pricey, £35 each for an hour on the Segway.
We found the low ropes a simple and fun activity.
The craft shop was also good and able to do sand art, painting or decoupage at a fair price.
30min drive to both Chester centre and Cheshire oaks which we visited during our stay.

Disliked: I wasn’t overly impressed with blakemere village with small fun fair or the pub. We ate lunch here which was not good and very over priced, even with the 20% off you get given as a tourer.
Everything also closes by 5pm unless it’s a Friday or Saturday night so not much to do in the evenings.
There were also lot of rules, no ball games allowed, even on the large grass area next to the play area/park.
No walking across the grass or cutting through pitches.
The road/track on site was gravel so my daughter didn’t like using her scooter. I felt this place would be great for young children, mines 10 so probably a bit past the best suited age group.

From the manager: Thank you for the feedback. I will pass on your comments to Blakemere Village.
Unfortunately, we have to have rules in place as customers do get understandably upset when people cut accross thier pitch or footballs hit caravans. This is the reason we have a large football field for all our guests to use away from caravans/motorhomes opposite our reception area. We are sorry to hear you won't be visiting again, but thank you for recommending us to friends.

Liked: Always a pleasant stay at blakemere facilities are well above any other site I’ve stayed at there is plenty to do and see on the site alone but also plenty to do and visit close to the site

Disliked: No dislikes at all

From the manager: Thank you for the review, we are glad you always have a pleasant stay with us and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon :)

Liked: First time visitors. Great facilities and site layout. Lots to do to keep the children entertained (4 & 8). Lovely woodland surrounding. Spaced out pitches. Friendly and helpful staff.

Disliked: Lots of gravel on the pitches and missed the feel of grass to sit on. If we come back we’ll have to bring a bigger rug. We booked a silver pitch in the paddock and the children were filthy from scuffing in the black tarmac like gravel. Good job the showers were lovely!

From the manager: Thank you for your valued feed back.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay depite the gravel. You are free to use the green grassed large area in the paddock to sit out. We have recently re surfaced our gold pitches with pea gravel so you are more than welcome to book on one of these pitches if you come again. As well as the childrens play area we also have a large feild with football nets that all our guests are welcome to use, whether this is to play games or have picnics etc.
We are glad you liked the showers and hope you will return.

Liked: Everything. Well kept site, facilities were spotless. Staff extremely friendly. The village just next to the site is great. A lot to do, lovely cafes and restaurants and the weather we experienced made a good difference. Would definitely return to this site

Liked: Level pitch. Surrounding woods. Secure dog field.

Disliked: Expensive. Laundry expensive. Kids playing ball where signs say not to, then balls hitting our van. Locked in till 8am. Water taps hard to turn the lever on.

From the manager: Thank you for your valued feedback. We are sorry to hear you had some dislikes on your stay with us. Unfortunatly , although we do try to police the children onsite and have plenty of signage around, we can't always catch them in the act and direct them to the dedicated football field at the front of the park.
As we are primarily a family holiday park we do have to lock the barriers from 10pm until 8am for security reasons and quiet time as people don't like to be disturbed too late at night or too early in the morning. In an emergency situation there is an emergency only phone number and the on call wardens would assist you out of the park if needed within the above hours.
The water taps are pressure assisted and can be rather stiff so you may have been better on one of our fully serviced pitches where you would have had your own normal tap and are able to leave a hose attatched for the duration of your stay.

Liked: The toilets and showers are pristine all the time .The pitches are very spacious we were in the paddock . Lots of water taps spread out and not to far to elson / waste water . The village is great on the doorstep albeit expensive for families .

Liked: Our plot was very spacious with sun all day, we were in the paddock which we really liked. The nicest shower block, clean, warm and more than enough showers for how the site was occupied. Great location with good walks and close enough to public transport
Friendly and helpful welcome with a small shop with enough to put you on until you can get to a supermarket
