About the site


Surrounded by scenic countryside and charming villages, this site is ideal for both families and couples looking to explore Cheshire. Within a 30 minute drive you can find The Ice Cream Farm, Chester Zoo, The Crocky Trail and Beeston Castle. The pods are split into two groups, some closer to the main site and some in a secluded valley for added privacy. All of the pods can accommodate up to three adults or two adults and two children under 12. You will have a double bed with a memory foam mattress, a bed settee and bedding. If you want to whip up a tasty full English whilst you're away, you will have a fully equipped kitchenette with a kettle, toaster, induction hob, microwave/oven, pots, pans, cutlery, glassware and crockery are all included. For cleaning up after, you will also have washing up liquid, dishcloths and tea towels. Every pod will have its own modern ensuite bathroom. This features a toilet, shower, sink, heated towel rail and added luxuries like fluffy towels, bathrobes and toiletries. Modern touches include a Smart TV, WiFi and modern lighting. For storage, you will have a clothes rail, with a dining table and chairs for eating as a family or playing card games. Step outside and you will find your own private patio with a table and chairs, plus a Weber charcoal BBQ for al fresco cooking. An electric jacuzzi hot tub provides the perfect spot for unwinding in the evening! Do note, the pods are pet free but the camping area of the site is dog friendly so you may see them around the site.
