Liked 100% recommend this camp site! We booked with 2 other families and our children ranged from 2-16 and they all loved it! The whole area is secure, so they ran around and played none stop. The animals are all around the perimeter and the very kind owners brought out food for the children to regularly feed the alpacas and goats and there were also chickens, sheep and ponies. There was lots of play equipment available for the children and a fenced off football area too. The facilities were clean. The owners were so lovely especially with the children. Highly recommend. Thank you for a great stay!

Liked So friendly and relaxed. Our 5 year old grandson loved feeding the animals and despite normally being very reticent around dogs loved playing with Pip. Clean facilities and everything we needed for an overnight stop close to Chester.

Liked We loved this site, pitch was large and good space between other guests plus space for the kids to run around. Location was fab (peaceful and green with beautiful sunsets and moonrises) Colin and Tracey were so friendly, just had a really warm, welcoming feel to the whole site. Our little girl had the best time meeting and feeding the animals, throwing the ball for Pip and playing with the other children and the toys that were there. We didn’t want to leave and would definitely go back. Wasn’t far to Chester Zoo and Chester and a lovely playground in Tattenhall nearby. People commenting on toilets/shower but wasn’t a bother for us and facilities were all super clean. Thanks for having us, we loved it.

Local attractions

Kid-friendly activities out in nature aren’t far from this site: the Crocky Trail, a mile-long adventure path including slides and rope swings, is five minutes’ drive away, and the nearby former royal Beeston Castle (10 minutes' drive) transports small visitors (and larger ones) back to the 1220s with its turreted architecture. Set on a sandstone crag 350 feet higher than the Cheshire Plain, this spot also has plenty of winsome views for the grownups to sigh over; other scenic places in the area include Chester’s amphitheatre and Roman walls left over from the settlement's beginnings as a first-century fortress (20 minutes). The city also houses the Rows, a shopping street covered in handsome half-timbered buildings and partly covered arcades. Just north (25 minutes) is the unmissable Chester Zoo, one of the best and biggest in Britain with animal enclosures covering an area of 125 acres. This centre is the home of all sorts of creatures, ranging from the aardvark to the zebra, with some of the most popular being the tigers, lions and jaguars.
