From the manager: Many thanks Trevor for your great review and look forward to seeing you again.

Liked Friendly host Claire made us feel welcome. There are 2 loos and a shower. Animals on site were lovely watch, 3 cats we spotted, 3 horses, chickens and a bunny. Location was perfect for a rural feel away from busy roads and still easy commute to Chester City and Chester Zoo.

From the manager: Thank you so. Much Hannah. Really glad you had a restful stay and please do come again.

Liked As a young family we felt so welcome at Larkhill. The site was so lovely, full of horses, chickens and amazing views.
The toilets and shower were very clean. Everything was easy to use and signed clearly. We had a great time and are already planning on booking here again. Our young daughter had so much fun and the site was very secure for children. We even got some fresh eggs as we left. Couldn’t recommend this site and the family who run it enough, had the best time.

From the manager: Thank you so much Sam. It was a pleasure to have you stay and look forward to seeing you again in July.

Liked Stayed as a family , 5 tents & around 15 of us altogether. Both children & adults all enjoyed themselves! The kids absolutely loved the chickens , horses & the rabbit. Owner is lovely & very welcoming. Pitches were spot on. There’s 2 toilets on site. 1 shower ( £1 for 10 mins ) kitchen has hot & cold water , kettle , toaster , fridge/freezer , provides washing up liquid & sponges etc and also has seating area off the kitchen. Both toilets have hand gel & hand wash provided & we’re always clean. Take your own toilet roll as it isn’t provided & after reading other reviews about people just taking it i understand why this is. Gates at the front of the site are always shut which is reassuring when you go with young children ( not locked ). 10 mins max drive to the shops & local take aways/chippy. Fishing lake opposite. Great campsite & fantastic price! We will all definitely be back again.

From the manager: Thank you Gary. Do pleased you enjoy coming here. See you all again maybe later this summer. N

Liked The site was very clean and in a quiet location. Claire was a lovely host and we liked the fresh eggs each morning. The kitchen facilities were great for us. It is a smaller site which we preferred. It isn’t too far from Chester if you want a day in the city.

Disliked We needed to have £1 coins to use the shower which we weren’t aware of until we arrived. It wasn’t an issue to pay just that we didn’t have cash on us so make sure to take coins for the shower.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review Nicole. So sorry you didn't realise it was a pound for the shower. I did this because I wanted to keep things flowing, literally.. I know some peeps will spend an age in the bathroom so I thought if I set a ten minute timer for a pound, hopefully, there wouldn't be a queue for the shower. In its third year, this seems to be working well. I've always got loads of change.

Liked Lovely site with lots of wildlife around. Lady running the site was great. Pitches were large enough to get a good level pitching.

Disliked As the shower is coin operated it could do with a clock in the bathroom so you know how long you have left.

From the manager: Thank you for your great review. That's a good idea re the shower. I'll see if my electrician thinks it's feasible.

Liked Very friendly nice site lots of animals

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Hope you had a trouble free journey.

Liked The site was easy to find and allowed late entry. Very affordable and seemed delightful. The host, Claire, made sure to wait for us and explained where everything was and had a sign for our pitch. The amenities were very clean and in good working condition, were extremely accessible and cleaning supplies were available to clean up after ourselves. There are two toilets. One shower which is on a meter approx 10 mins for £1 coin. Claire said she has change if you didn’t bring any money. A washing machine. A fridge freezer and freezer. A kettle. Hot and cold taps indoors to wash up and scrubbing brushes. A cold outdoor tap. There were chickens and a rabbit near the tent pitches for our toddler to chat to and enjoy watching. There’s a little lounge indoors with sofas and books, emergency information on a board, there’s benches and chairs outside and a table. Claire was readily available if needed and she was extremely kind and friendly.
There was not much phone signal, no WiFi that I knew of- depending what camping trip you prefer this is either perfect or terrible! For me, it was perfect. I love to get away and switch off when camping.
