Welltrough Hall Farm Reviews

Super site

We enjoyed our stay at Welltrough Hall Farm campsite, stunning views and very quiet.

Nice stay

We struggled to find this campsite as the sign was set right back and covered in foliage, making it impossible to see. We went past it and it was a nightmare to turn around and go back with the caravan in tow. Sign should be placed closer to Roadside. Getting into the site was easy enough and we managed to get pitch 8 which had fantastic views, but only the grass pitches and pitches 7-9 have the views. The other are all behind a fence or hedge and are all close together with no real views or sense of privacy! It is adults only, but there are lots of dog owners and it's quite noisy at times with barking. Only 2 very basic toilet shower blocks. Overall, enjoyed the stay and views, but don't think we'll be going back as we prefer a much smaller and quieter site.

Thank you for your slightly disappointing review, unfortunately I'm not allowed to put signage on council owned property. I do put the postcode and what 3 words on the pre-arrival email, comments I have had over the years have stated that all the pitches have fantastic views and are very well spaced out so I'm not sure what you mean on that. Dogs are welcome but I'm afraid I can't control if they bark or not ;)

Fabulous

Excellent site. Loved our stay. Well done 👏

Peaceful and simple

Fantastic views over the Cheshire Plain make it a beautiful place to spend a few days I'm not averse to children but this is adult only and very quiet. Power now is on a coin meter and very little seems to last for forever. Broad elevated serviced pitches are a bonus, as is the gated security. Facilities are simple and housed in a range of outbuildings and whilst I was there, seem to be undergoing a deep clean and modest refurbishment. Well worth a visit

Thank you for your review Martin, yes it is a quiet site. I have removed a shower block to extend it's size as I speak, will be back on site later today, always looking to improve my site.

Llama land

We only stayed one night but it was great, the views are amazing and picking your own pitch (within certain parameters) is an advantage. Unfortunately, we were there on a Monday and the Red Lion is closed Mondays 😮🍻

Thank you for your review Paul.

Just a perfect stay

Absolutely great three night stay, the pitch was spotless and it was so peaseful, the toilets and showers are well maintained and even have music. I would recommend Welltrough Hall to anyone who is looking for a nice relaxing break with a stunning view of the countryside.

Tranquil, adult only site

Very peaceful site. Very well maintained, fabulous views and the pitches are huge. The alpaca and goats are friendly, my two dogs were mesmerised and wondering what they were kept them quiet all day, which was a godsend. Very nice site we will definitely be going back.

Overnight stop over

Booked a last minute stop over on the way home from Scotland to Wales. The site itself is spotless with good clear directions on how to get onto it, toilets and showers were clean and tidy. We had one shower and one loo for the area we choose. The value for money rating was low as I booked the site with an understanding the electricity was in the price, it's not. You have to pay £1 per? as you use it, we chose not to hook up so I cured no extra cost but at £28 per night I thought it was a little excessive. I had options of cheaper sites without electricity but chose this one as previously mentioned I assumed it was included but hey ho. As I say the site is spotless, if you like a good instructional sign then this is the place to be, they are everywhere. The site seemed a bit impersonal, it would have been nice to say hi to the owners but that's my own personal choice of how a campsite should be run.. absolutely nothing wrong with this site, just maybe not how I'd run it..

Hi Simon, thank you for your review. My advert does state …..'hardstanding pitches with 10-Amp electric, water tap, waste drain and great views. Electric is metered and payable on site. Suitable for roof tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes. There are 4 toilets and 3 showers on my site.' I'm not really a big site, I would love to spend time chatting to guests on site but unfortunately I'm running it on my own as well as the farm and the glamping site so a bit busy lol, the signs are simply to help guests find the facilities and their way around the site, Nick

Excellent

Our second visit and as enjoyable as the first. Pitches very good and views unbeatable. Sunsets lovely and the goats really friendly. Must be one of the best CL's in the system.

Thank you for your great review Robert.

What a site!

Absolutely fantastic. The views, the location for Jodrell Bank telescope, the farm walk, proximity to the Red Lion - we quite simply had a wonderful time and expect to return. This was a stop off between Cardiff and the Lake District!

Thank you for your kind review, Jeff.

Relaxing and restful

A very relaxing and restful site. The long and short walks were great for me as I have a bad back. They were level, well tended and a pleasure to walk. The site was quiet and peaceful for a working farm and we really enjoyed just chilling out for a week in beautiful country surroundings.

Cosy stay in quiet location

The location would not suit all people, being in a farmland setting, but we are the sorts to go out exploring widely so it served as a useful base. The lack of an on-site shop for basic supplies might put some people off, but there's plenty of choice in nearby Holmes Chapel. Since our visit two years ago, there have been two nice additional touches: firstly a luggage cart to help transfer bags etc from the car park to the pond. Secondly, an air fryer to boost cooking capabilities (there's a hob and microwave too). Not sure what happened about the bread knife we suggested would be handy two years ago! The pod has more than adequate heating, for any chilly nights and mornings and a great view over the countryside. The more than ample mown dog walk paths around the cropped field headlands kept our dog more than busy.

Many thanks for your review.

Great stopover

Lovely, clean, quiet site (once you get used to being on a flight path). We will definitely use Welltrough again and would recommend to others. Was a treat to see llamas on site.

Alpaca Pod was spotless, equipped with everything we needed

We had a lovely relaxing weekend. Alfie our dog enjoyed his walks around the farm. The signs to the local pub was very helpful and we enjoyed our meal there. I would definitely recommend you to family and friends. Thank you again.

Wonderful stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the Owl Pod was well equipped and surrounded by lovely scenery. The farm walk was great and the hot tub was great. Would definitely recommend for a quiet getaway.

Peaceful and tranquil

Very peaceful and stunning views. The site has tranquil vibe about it, with basic amenities with a unique touch. We had a email before arriving explaining gates codes, how to get change for the electric meter, which takes card and notes for the pound coins needed. Also, what pitches are available. Pitches are gravel with water tap next to the pitches. Dog washes are also available. The pitches are not level, so make sure you have stack pads for caravan. There are also some tree stumps dotted around to help get level. The alpacas and goats are entertaining, and can been seen from most pitches. We stayed for 1 night and use £3.80 for electric which was I felt was cheap for normal usage. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family. If Nick the owner ever got Hot Tub only pitches, I'm sure this would be a sell out too. 10/10 from us

Lovely

Just passing through for 1 night, enjoyed the stay, very peaceful and clean. Walked the trail through the site and had an incredible meal at The Red Lion. if we are ever in the area again, I will definitely stay.

This site is beautiful!

Well maintained with glorious views and a fantastic pub just a short walk away through the fields! Excellent stay here. I definitely would return. Perfect views and walks. The only minor reservation I have personally is that the WCs are shared. I would prefer a female only toilet/facility.

Beautiful site

New motorhome owners, this site is immaculate, best we have ever stayed on - seriously couldn't fault anything. Red Lion pub had great food and we had a lovely walk through fields. Thank you so very much, your site is a credit to you

Fantastic

Had a fantastic stay here. Very clean, everything you need to enjoy your break. Had a dishwasher and an air fryer. The animals were beautiful and well looked after, thank you very much!
