Welltrough Hall Farm Reviews

Great site

We stayed here during winter but it was lovely and scenic. Really well kept site, perfect for use as a base for seeing the local area.

A great glamping getaway!

Booked as a birthday getaway for my partner. He loved it! The site was great! Hassle free arrival, cosy pod with a very inviting hot tub. Also the farm was very well laid out with nicely maintained walks, which was a bonus having brought our dog along. I was worried about it being cold with a drop to freezing temperatures but the pod remained nice and warm. Even surrounded by ice and frost, we were in the hot tub in the evenings - star gazing, oblivious to the cold. Country pubs a short walk away and all the amenities needed a 5 minute drive away. The pod was clean and had everything needed in it, I was impressed by it having an air fryer, not that we did any cooking (it was meant to be a break after all).

Brilliant

Only downfall is we put £6 in the electric. We only used minimal electric and we used candles for light so we were shocked how fast the electric was going down. We used £5.80 of the £6 we put in. It was mainly on watching the tv from 7pm 'til 11:15, when I turned it off. Other than that, the place was amazing. The alpacas are cute and the pub down the road was nice. It was pitch black walking back so will take a high vis vest next time. Yes we will be booking again. We stayed 24 hours.

Thank you for your kind review, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the electric use, it may have been your heating, which can be expensive. My tariff is 59p/kwh at the moment but I have signed up next March for a rate of 29p/kwh, so it should work out a lot cheaper.

Couple & dog weekend stay

The pod was laid out very well. It was cleaned perfectly before our arrival however there were a lot of flies, we have noticed this being mentioned in a few reviews and they did provide fly spray which helped a lot. The fenced-off area outside was lovely as we could let the dog off the lead with the door open. The hot tub was a perfect size for 2 people the views are very rural and pretty. The check-in process was seamless and each pod was far from one another, so it felt very private. The facilities included a toaster, kettle, microwave, hobs & air fryer + a full-sized dishwasher, which is the best we have ever experienced from a glamping pod. Overall very positive experience. Recommendations: Some cleaning products to clean the worktops and a mop for rainy stays as the entrance to the pod gets wet if it's raining or a doormat. Thank you :)

A very rarely given 10/10, in fact the only given

We actually stayed in the Woodland Hut, not the Shepherd. The only place I have ever been where I could not find a single fault. I am quite fussy as well and notice small things that don't bother most people but this place was perfect. Never been in an accommodation so clean and tidy you can tell they care about their guests experience. Comfy bed, warm hot tub, get left alone, lovely clean and comfy cabin. Amazing surroundings with an exceptional view from the hot tub. Village close with a lovely chippy and a friendly pub 10 min walk with home cooked food. Will be coming back multiple times a year for a break from life stresses.

Peaceful glamping

We had a wonderful 2 night stay. It was perfect and the hot tub added to the great experience. It was beautiful and peaceful and Nick the owner communicated everything perfectly via email, to the point we didn't even meet him but everything went smoothly due to the great communication. I would most definitely recommend this glamping site and hope to return.

Relaxing

Had a really relaxing stay, fantastic views. The pod was immaculate. Would definitely stay again! Just wish there was a shop nearer by.

Peaceful

A lovely site, quiet, peaceful, and spacious. Short walk to local pub, which has new owners and most welcoming. Saw Nick who owns the property, very charming and helpful. The area is kept immaculate and the walking areas kept clean and tidy. Toilet and shower blocks were immaculate. Would recommend this site as close to the motorway.

Thank you for your kind review, Martha.

Nice quiet site

A really nice site, very quiet, pitches are well spaced and relatively level. Nice touch was having the llama's close to the pitches and a good place to walk dogs. The only slight downside was the limited toilet and shower facilities i.e. only one toilet and shower at either end of the site. Would definitely stay again for 1 or 2 nights. The walk through the fields and woods to the Red Lion pub was lovely on the marked and prepared paths.

Great chilled getaway!

Our stay here was great, Nick was so so lovely and looked after us greatly this weekend! The pods we stayed in were so lovely and clean and we were supplied with everything needed for a weekend stay. Again thank you so much Nick, we really appreciate everything you have done for us!

Such a peaceful, fabulous stay!

I initially booked the Badger Pod, for 2 nights for my husband's birthday getaway. I contacted the owner Nick for a possible upgrade to the Owl Pod, which he did with no problems at all. We were sent all the access details prior to arrival, so it was all done with ease. The Owl Pod is fabulous. An ideal amount of space for 2 adults and a dog for a short stay and well equipped. The surprise of an air fryer helped massively as there is no oven. The mapped out dog walk around the farm is great, especially as it leads to local dog friendly pubs! My only negative was that there was some dog mess on the path, possibly due to the absence/lack of bins on that stretch but still no excuse for dog owners! The hot tub is great, as is the outside area, which is fenced so the dog was safe and happy (as were we)! Great views and lovely to see the animals! The outdoor dog shower was super handy. It's such a peaceful, quiet area so we were well rested on leaving. We will definitely be back!

Badger pod with hot tub

Stayed in the Badger Pod with hot tub and had a fabulous time here, so peaceful and the views were amazing! The pod was lovely and all of them were unique, it was lovely and clean and had all the facilities we needed for a chilled weekend. Nick, the farmer, couldn't have been more helpful. Would definitely recommend it and will certainly be going back again.

Great

Great place to stay at.

Brilliant little retreat

Absolutely fantastic little glamping site. Stunning scenery and perfectly quiet. Couldn't beat sitting in the hot tub at night looking at the stars with my other half. Will definitely be going back.

Fabulous stay

We had a great time. Peaceful site with beautiful scenery. The pod was spotless and well equipped with everything you need. Two lovely pubs within walking distance that do food, and are dog friendly. Will definitely return.

Good base to go exploring

Despite being in a seemingly remote farmland location, this is a good location to explore the surroundings, with north Wales resorts just over an hour away, as is Llangollen in the Welsh hills. To the east, the Peak District is not too far away. The historic parks of Lyme Hall and Little Moreton Hall are also in quite easy reach. There are no onsite shops, but the small town of Holmes Chapel has three supermarket “mini-stores” and several takeaways. The two local pubs, the Red Lion and The Old Pub (formerly Black Swan) can both be reached easily on foot. Both serve good food, with The Old Pub being rather more “high end” fare. The Owl Pod is perhaps the newest and very slightly largest of the four pods on site and has nearly all you could ask for. A bread knife, more crockery/cutlery and a dustpan and brush would have helped! The large dishwasher was barely a third full before we had to put it on, having run out of plates and cutlery. There is a long and well maintained grass path walk around the farm, which makes for a great dog walk. Grass areas in the site are kept immaculate by a robot lawnmower which kept our dog amused! The lack of recycling bins for glass, paper etc is disappointing in this day and age. The managers are helpful and quick to deal with any queries.

Loved it

What a real gem, highly recommended. The grass cut dog walks are a real treat and the pods have everything you'll need for a doggie break. The site is clean and well presented and the local pubs are handy for a nice stroll with the doggies. We'll certainly be back before the year is out.
