Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great stay, clean and peaceful site with gorgeous views. Loved the super Saturday activities especially at reasonable prices. Great stay for great price

Disliked Service in the cafe was very slow. Waited 40 minutes for 2 milkshakes and a cup of tea at 10am on a sunday morning. luckily the weather was nice so we didn’t mind as we were sat outside but still a lengthy wait for drinks especially with children which put us off ordering food which was a shame.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (premium)

Liked Pitches great stayed fully serviced
Arrived Thursday thought the cubicles for the toukets/showers really good clean modern and then Friday arrived and so did all the campers on the other field and the glampers, so 7 cubicles between all those people cleaned only once a day were unusable!! Hated the fact that they all trotted through the motorhome site and the queuing outside the toilets !! Kids running inland out of them
Not for us won't be going back which is a shame as the rest of the site was lovely
However when you can't use the showers because they are so disgusting not acceptable 😒

Nigel P.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked This campsite is clean and quiet. We stayed in August, the height of the season and it wasn't crowded or noisy. We had booked a gravel pitch with electric, but we could have used the camping field which is large and flat. There are also bell tents for hire, which looked fun. The toilets are all individual rooms with a shower. The location is great, with towpath walks and the marina with cafe. It's close to Natwich, which has amazing historic buildings.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Very well set up, separate toilet and shower areas great. Nice walks nearby and cafe does a nice selection and staff friendly. Definitely going back again.

Disliked There were no plugs in the washing up area and the shower areas could do with a Floor Squeegee. Would not need one in each but maybe to outside so we can help clean the water way after a shower.

Local attractions

Aqueduct Marina and Caravan Park's Cheshire location and easy access from the M6 means it's in a most handy spot to get to heaps of tourist attractions around this part of the north west and Chester. A popular option in the area is Oulton Park, the racing track in the little village of Budworth that bills itself as the most picturesque track in all the land, or you could hike around the wilds of nearby Delamere Forest, or stick to lazy days and potter around small Cheshire villages like Tattenhall and Tarporley. Chester is also easily accessible from the caravan park and has heaps to see among its old streets and swish shops. Animal fans make their way to Chester Zoo on the outskirts of the city to see as many as possible of its 12,000+ animals and over 400 species; if nature is your animalish thing, also get along to the Blue Planet Aquarium and its 100 or so living displays including the biggest school of sharks in Europe. Green fingered? Clear the car boot and drive over to Bridgemere, one of the biggest garden centres in the world and with all things gardenlike as well as toys and clothes in its mammoth shopping centre.
