Clear filters One night glamping Bell Tent - Bell Tents May 2024 The glamping tent was lovely and well equipped. Fire pit and outside scenery was gorgeous. Toilets and shower facilities were great.
However, the noise of planes constantly flying overhead was too much and we left in the middle of the night, which did spoil our plans completely.
We did email to say we had left during the night but didn't get a reply in the days that followed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the glamping tent, the fire pit, the beautiful scenery, and our facilities.
Regarding the plane noise, we understand how it could have affected your stay. Unfortunately, the flight paths and schedules are beyond our control and can vary with the wind direction. Being located just 15 miles from Manchester Airport, there are times when planes will fly overhead. This has not typically been an issue for our guests, and we haven't experienced significant overhead traffic this week.
We apologise for the delay in responding to your email. As a small family-run team, there are times when it may take us a bit longer to reply, but we are always committed to addressing our guests' concerns.
We appreciate your understanding and hope you will consider staying with us again in the future. Best regards, Mike - Oakwood Marina
First visit
Motorhome - Electric Grass Touring Pitches May 2024 First time of staying. Extremely friendly welcome and guidance on arrival. Friendly personnel in bar, good choice of cold beer and even dairy free pizza's (wife allergic to dairy). Though marking facilities one star lower due to (I think) one shower, other wise very happy with the overall ambience of the site. We would hope to return again.

1 night last minute idea
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2024 Nice place, peaceful and quiet. Great for couples or families. Generous size plots. Owners very relaxed. Nice long boat converted into a bar and takeaway pizzas served until late, great tea shop/cafe during daytime.
Clean toilets. Good views, nice walks.
The place is easy to find.
I would definitely recommend if you are looking for that area.

Value for money
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2024 The staff were very helpful and there was a quad bike with trailer to transport your gear from car to pitch. The pizza place was good and nice bar. Plenty of outside tables to sit at which was nice in sun.

Great little site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2024 Lovely site, next to the canal - onsite cafe (daytime) + small bar and pizza shack (evening). Simple pitches, but great, peaceful location.

Ok site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2024 You can't park next to the tent, they taxi up the stuff on a quad. Not many toilets and a bit of a trek, but an ok site.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for any inconvenience regarding the parking situation, as its stated there's no parking next to the pitches (this is one of the selling points at Oakwood). in regards to the toilets, due to recent wet weather conditions, they were temporarily relocated. However, we now have a total of 9 toilets and 6 showers located around the site for our guests.
