  • Peaceful setting overlooking the Cheshire Plain, close to Whitchurch
  • On National Cycle Route 47, and near Sandstone Trail walkers’ path
  • Within easy reach of pubs with gin nights and authentic curries
Looking for a peaceful spot where you don’t have to sacrifice the luxury of nearby pubs and restaurants? Head to Cheshire site Marbury Camp and Lodge, where you can look out over the Cheshire Plain by day and devour pub grub by night – the team on site can point you towards gin evenings and excellent curries… a winning combo after a day of exploring. Speaking of exploring, there are enough walks and bike routes around to ensure you get your fill of countryside. The site is right on a national cycle route so make sure you pack your bike helmet – the site owners can help with bike hire and a map of the local cycle routes too. If walking is more your thing you can link up with the Sandstone Trail for 34 miles of unbroken, and often elevated, walking. The outdoor adventures don’t stop there, as this place is a great base for golfing, shooting and fishing as well, with all found within around four miles of the site. Worn out just by reading the activities dotted around? There’s also plenty to do if you’re after a more chilled day. The nearby local market towns of Whitchurch (three miles away) and Nantwich (eight miles) have various market days and plenty of shopping, eating and drinking options. Supplies can also be sourced closer to home in the village of Wrenbury, a mile away. Site amenities include a shower block and chemical disposal, and there's also the option to hire firepits (subject to availability).

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: The scenery was pretty and the toilet block was clean and adequate although needed heat and paper towels to dry hands. Didn’t use shower as too cold in there, so preferred caravan. Electric was fine on lower settings in van.

Disliked: Touring pitches with electric were very narrow and as grass was so muddy, we needed wider hard standing to walk from caravan doorway to the path. There was no where to park your car near to your caravan and even if the weather had been kinder there wasn’t enough space as the pitches were too close. The price we paid per night was excessive for the facilities on offer.

From the manager: Hi Alison, Thanks for the review. In response: 1. The toilet block has two small electric heaters to take the chill off, but they don't do much unless the doors stay shut (hence why they're on closers). The only other thing we could do is add an entrance hall, which to be honest isn't high on our list of priorities as you're the only person the make the point in 5 years of trading. 2.We've already widened half of our tourer pitches to up to 6m. We'll do the rest as we go along and the ground dries up this month. The remaining smaller pitches are wide enough to have a walkway if you park your caravan to the left. It's a moot point really as they will be widened shortly. 3. What other facilities would you like to see? Our rates are comparable with the sites around us, but we appreciate we are new to this game (relatively) and will keep on adding things to the site. Dealing with burst water mains, incorrectly installed electrics and a very wet winter has been our priority over the last 12 months. We've also added a small licensed shop and take away service this month. 4. Not sure if birds are interested in our tariffs. All the best. David.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Was exactly as described well maintained pitches and facilities. Friendly owner.

Disliked: Extremely tight to be able to get caravans in as posts have been put up to not allow a wide enough turning point to get the caravans in the pitches. Fields were also very boggy and could do with some drainage systems as you cannot walk around.

From the manager: Aloha, Thanks for the review. In response: 1. The posts are to stop tourers/carvans driving straight onto a very wet field and getting stuck/making a mess. They have worked well. It has been a very wet winter and we'd had another 20mm of rain that week. 2. As per the arrival email, we suggested that we put your carvan on the pitch for you using the tractor, which we did for several customers. I'm assumng you ignored our suggstion. You will also have noticed that we're in the process of widening all the tourer pitches up to 6m (only 3 to go). 3. The grass was very wet yes. Sadly, we live in a high clay area and if can go up to 4 feet deep ( I dug a soakaway yesterday). Conventional drainage (land drains) does not work when surrounded by 4 feet of clay, but we do what we can. In drier weather, there's no problem. We are however creating a top car park to stop campers driving on the grass and creating more mud. Cheers, D

Local attractions

Marbury Camp and Lodge is on the National Cycle Network's Route 47, a fine option for leisure riders, serious biking types and all those in between. There are also walks in all directions, with the Sandstone Trail walkers’ haven around 12 miles from the site. For a spot of sightseeing, set out to soak up the culture at a number of churches and castles nearby. For some gothic architecture head to Combermere Abbey (around 10 minutes' drive) or Cholmondeley Castle Gardens (about 15 minutes). The medieval Beeston Castle (20 minutes) comes with spectacular views and a 40-acre woodland park to amble about in. Several of the surrounding towns have a lot to offer here. As well as Whitchurch there's also Nantwich (15 minutes), known for its listed buildings and annual cheese show (yum). Crewe is also a short drive away (about half an hour) if you still haven’t got your fill of eating, drinking, shopping and sightseeing.
