Welltrough Hall Farm Reviews

Amazing

The place was quiet and peaceful with the most amazing views. The dogs loved the walks round the fields. We loved the walk to the pub. The hot tub was basic but lovely deep, warm and relaxing. Will definitely book again.

Beautiful

Amazing and they did it up with balloons and banners as it was mine and my partners joint birthday, couldn't do more for us. Was clean, quiet and relaxing. Was perfect, just what we needed 😊 Thankyou to Nick xx

Nice site well kept but not into communal toilet and shower

Lovely site very well kept grounds the only thing we didn't like were the couple of toilet/showers that were for both male/female. l myself does not like to use a toilet or shower used by males we also felt there wasn't enough facilities for the amount of m pitches.

Beautiful views

Toilets let it down. Situation and walks had been given a great deal of thought.

Stay in Woodland Hut

Lovely quiet break with my husband and dog. Well equipped woodland hut with gorgeous views. Loved the farm work….great for those with dogs.

Lovely weekend away, really nice site and helpful owner Nick

Stayed in the owl pod for my boyfriend’s birthday away, had everything we needed and was as described online. The site was well kept and spacious with directions on walks to go on, also received a little information pack sent by Nick before our stay. Would really recommend for a peaceful staycation!

Truly excellent

Absolutely lovely site, the showers were higher pressure than my one at home! Great views of Cheshire including the sun set over Jodrell Bank telescope from our awning. Facilities really clean, the farm walk was lovely! Quick 3km lap around the ground. Fun watching the goats and alpacas. We only live a half hour away but it felt so remote and peaceful it could have been a million miles from home. Highly recommend! Very professional. Only recommendation is with electricity, we way overdid it putting £3 on the meter and only using 20p for our one night stay. The meter rates are really reasonable so just go one pound at a time.

Fantastic Site!!

This was our first time at this site and it’s fabulous!! Easy access and pitching, all very clean and tended to. Toilets and Shower, very clean and kept so. Easy acces on foot to the Red Lion Pub, serving very good, value for money food. Easy vehicle access to Jodrell Bank and with large towns all around if you want the retail experience. It’s a great place, well worth a visit. Thanks Nick, good job done.

Lovely site

First time staying there. The site was great, quiet and had wonderful views. Found a nice pub just down the road called The Swettenham Arms, which served good food and there were some nice walks nearby. Will certainly be back.

Beautiful site with panoramic views

Very tidy and well maintained site in a beautiful location with very clean facilities, pitches are well laid out and signposted. Only one downside, which is having to pay for electric on a meter. I understand the economic climate with utility costs at the moment, but I would have rather just paid a bit more for the pitch. There is a booth you can easily get change from but I just didn't like the uncertainty of not knowing how much you were using. We had booked the site to visit friends and attend a party on the Sunday, so we were not in the caravan very long. 1 hour on the Saturday evening and then Sunday until 1pm and then 7pm until 10pm. We turned heating and everything off overnight but still woke on Monday morning to the meter having gone down £3. In total, we spent an extra £10 on electric, but think that was mainly heating as we have no gas presently.

Thank you for your review Joanne, I appreciate the meter part of your review. After my tariff quadrupled last year, it left me with little choice really. Yes, I could have increased my pitch fee considerably, but I thought it was the fairest way to go as some guests use very little electric, feedback has said using gas helps a lot and works out a lot cheaper. My tariff has dropped by half now, so cost is minimal

Campervanning at Welltrough

Welltrough Hall Farm is a lovely little site. It is situated amidst Cheshire farmland and had the added bonus of sheep and alpacas onsite. The facilities are great - loved the music in the very clean toilets. Electricity is via a pay as you go system but has the normal hook ups. Most hardstanding plots (if not all) had water. The views of the Jodrell Bank telescope are something different. The service provided in advance by the team was detailed and the area around the farm has some very nice pubs at a short walk (through fields) or a short drive. All in all, super!

Thank you for your review Martin, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.

Amazing pod!

Stayed in the badger pod over bank holiday and it was perfect! Everything you need for a peaceful stay, beautiful views from the pod and the hot tub! Fence around the pod was perfect if you take your dog, like us, as it was secure - pods with fences around are hard to come by! Would 100% stay again!

Quiet with lovely views

Very quiet with lovely views. Electric tripped more than once but sorted by the owner. Nice dog walk with pub at the end. When I booked didn't know that electric was to be paid for separately.

Thank you for your review Susan. Just to note, it does mention electric is paid for separately on our listing - Nick

Fab stay!

This was our second stay at the glamping pods and it was another great stay! There's a lovely walk which we did twice that was very lovely and refreshing and we also had dinner at the old pub (The Trap), which was so delicious. There is also a lovely ice cream place nearby called Bidlea Dairy and it is delicious. The pod was lovely and clean and tidy and also smelt very clean. We couldn't recommend these glamping pods enough. Thank you Nick for a great stay!

Great stay

Lovely small site with some farm animals. Adults only is a bonus, very quiet with great views. Nice dog walks and tracks mown to local pubs. It was our 2nd visit there with a touring caravan. Only thing that would make it better is a couple more loos and showers. Would definitely return.

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.

Amazing campsite, best we have visited

Everything was amazing. Location fantastic. V. spacious, v. clean, v. relaxing with v. cute alpacas and goats. New pot wash was handy. Excellent all round experience and to top it all, very nice weather. Thank you! We shall return.

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.
