  • Award-winning amenities, plenty of space and Chester Zoo ticket sales
  • Pool, fishing lakes, tennis, play area, games and dog-friendly café
Some people prefer to keep their holidays very basic and remote indeed. Some people do not – and seek a spot with excellent leisure facilities, spotless amenities and customer-friendly approach… the better to get on with the important aspects of a holiday without stressing about the essentials. If this too is you, make your way to Manor Wood Country Park in green Cheshire countryside, where there’s loads to do on site, and where the amenities are so immaculate they’ve been given awards. Off site is pretty pleasing too, as Manor Wood is an easily accessible 25 minutes’ drive from Chester, Chester Castle and Chester Racecourse – and Chester Zoo, so say the kids, who’ll doubtless point out that their grownups can buy zoo tickets on site too. The park is in a nicely rural setting, home to two fishing lakes that adults and families can cast off at, and to a vast range of leisurely options indoors and out. The outdoor pool opens from the beginning of May – whatever the weather; a climbing frame and play area are in the grounds and a games room with pool, table football and table tennis is indoors to take care of any inclement times. Back outside, tennis courts are available free of charge to all customers. A minute’s drive or half a mile’s stroll from Coddington, Manor Wood is surrounded by Cheshire and Nottinghamshire villages to pick up local produce and picnic bits and pieces. Make time/room too for a foray to the Lakeside Café on several occasions during your stay, for breakfast, snacks and light lunches to have indoors or outside while the kids investigate the play area; the café building also has free wifi, takeaway options and a small shop selling essentials and caravan supplies. Dogs are welcome too... so much so that they have their own section on the menu... Those who prefer things just a little quieter on their countryside holiday are invited to book from Monday to Friday in low season, to soak up the peaceful Cheshire surrounds in a more peaceful manner.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: The flat pitch. The lakes. The cafe - although not yet open! The options for entertaining youngsters - tennis, game room, swimming pool - although not yet open either.

Disliked: Maybe not enough bins for dog poo. Also I like being able to segregate rubbish - feel bad for the people who have to segregate it later.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Dog walking area. Kids play grounds

Disliked: The entire campsite was a complete mud bath as it had been raining. Weirdly there were so many dead frogs on the tracks, probably related to the rain, that had been run over, it was very gory! The main issue was the facilities, the toilet/shower block was freezing cold and filthy. I don’t know why it wasn’t heated properly in February. The showers were dark and unclean. I found a newt in one of them. I walked to the other shower block which was better. But obviously you had to walk through all the mud to get there so it was a bit pointless! Push start showers which lasted less than 5 seconds were annoying. The games room - filthy and cold! Couldn’t find a ball to go with the ping pong table and you had to pay to use the pool table. No seats or anything to sit down in there. For the price, I expected it to be better.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: The whole site is immaculately looked after and clean. The toilet and shower area especially. The children’s play areas are a great size and there are multiple play areas across the site. The fishing ponds look well stocked and well pegged (if you’re into fishing). The motorhome pitches were a great size, although we do have a small campervan. The cafe on site is expensive but we’ll worth the money as the food is great.

Disliked: Unfortunately, for how well maintained the site is, I felt that the staff were not very welcoming. I was stood at reception waiting for staff members to finish their conversation before they eventually acknowledged I was there. We booked this site specifically for the heated pool as the website advertised that the pool was open May-September “regardless of the weather”. The pool was closed and staff were not accommodating of our complaint. They did however offer a small refund. The site is well priced if the pool was in action as the website stated but was not worth the money if it’s not open. The small shop on site is fairly expensive. The site is let down by the unwelcoming staff.

Local attractions

There’s plenty to do around Manor Wood for those days you’re not mooching around Chester (although do mooch around Chester for some considerable time too.) Drive about five minutes’ south for walks around the green space lying between Stretton and Clutton; a golf course and Stretton Watermill are here to stop off at. Beeston Castle, 20 minutes’ drive away just outside Tarporley, is a site of fortress ruins on a sandstone plain with spectacular views – across eight counties and over to Wales. Kids now revolting after watermill and castle time? The rides, farm and many flavours of The Ice Cream Farm adventure park are within 15 minutes’ drive.
