Colemere Caravan Park Reviews

What a lovely place to stay - highly recommended

We are very new to campervanning and what a great place to pick for our very first stay. We selected a non electric pitch as we wanted to experience how we would get along. The pitches were very separated so we got a view over trees and the hillside (plus horses!) There was a short walk to the very clean toilet and showering area. We could have used the communal fridge/cooking lodge with comfy chairs which did look inviting. There was plenty of walking to be had - we went to Elsmere and lunched at the Boathouse, but there was a good walk and pub in the opposite direction.

Lovely break

Loved this campsite. Ingrid showed us to our pitch. Heavy rain was expected so she put us where we would be more sheltered. We were given a map of the area. The location is fantastic. Lovely walk along the canal to Ellesmere. Went in the Vaults, quirky lovely bar. Ate at the Red Lion and the Boathouse, both really nice. Showers were clean and had a nice little dressing room. The best bit was the Social area, which was a life saver for us in a two man tent in the rain. Would return here next season.

Late to the party

Arrived late but was greeted by a friendly site manager who actually used my name when greeting me. Everything was explained to me and locations pointed out. A birthday party was in full swing and as I passed I was invited in. Very friendly people. Pitch location was lovely, cleanliness of the facilities was top notch.

Fabulous

Absolutely beautiful, fabulous hosts, very friendly, perfect location.

Pod stay for the first time

Having not stayed in a pod, we were unsure what to expect, on arrival, it exceeded our expectations. The place is beautiful, on arrival, the owners were very polite and accommodating, the pod was very good value for money, too cheap in our eyes! Amenities were perfect, especially the communal hut where we met some lovely people. We have just booked again, well worth a try. Overall, excellent stay!

Gem of a spot

Colemere is a beautiful little campsite with idyllic views, wish we had the chance to try the hot tub but work got in the way. I would highly recommend this gem of a spot if you are looking to relax and get away from it all, the views from the top of the hill were amazing and it was so dark star gazing of a night was incredible. At the end of the park there was a gate with direct access to the lake. The walk around took about 40 mins and was perfect for the dog walks. Wish they had a tuck shop or honesty box for wine bread milk chocolate that sort of thing. Clean and tidy, hope we get to return.

Lovely site, peaceful location

Lovely site, peaceful location. Large communal area/kitchen for social contact or to escape the elements. To make it even better, I would suggest the addition of private wash hand basins in ladies' toilet block. Proprietor helpful & friendly. Centred around a wildlife pond, this site is spacious with pitches on different levels, among hedges and hollows. It offers a chance of escape from bustle and noise. The communal/kitchen area has tables with bench seating & 2 comfortable sofas; there are few electric pitches but the kitchen has 2 fridges, a toaster, a microwave, kettle and power to charge your phone. Everything kept very clean.

Peaceful campsite

On arrival was greeted by the very cheerful owner, map and lots of information given re where to park, where to walk, eat etc. Pitches were of a good size, grass had been cut but in between the pitches was left the tall grass (not a problem) but lots of thistles and ragwort (toxic plant). Fresh water and rubbish bins provided, we were self contained so did not use the toilet or shower facilities but did take a look, all looked clean. Fire pit was allowed (raised). Would recommend.

Great campsite, very welcoming hosts

Beautiful campsite, very peaceful, good facilities, with lots of wildlife around. We loved our three nights here, generous pitches, very accommodating and helpful hosts. We especially liked the rabbits. The area itself has loads to do and see just a stone's throw from Colesmere itself, which is lovely and can be walked around in about 30 mins, and 45 mins along the canal towpath to Ellesmere. Heartily recommended, we hope to stay again.

Pond with wild birds, enchanting!

Great place, my needs were met.

Everything just fab

Super-friendly hosts, beautiful site just a few steps from Colemere, immaculate facilities and options for socialising with other guests in lovely lounge/shared area. Will definitley be back. Thank you.

A beautiful treat of a place

Arrived to a friendly welcome from our hosts, who even helped guide us to the site when we got lost on the way! A real gem of a place - unassuming and much less formal than other sites I could mention. The facilities are clean and well kept and the site is wonderfully placed near the banks of the Colemere. The place has a beautiful large wildlife pond and is beautifully lit up at night. There are birds and bunnies aplenty. The communal area was so very smart and we could see ourselves there with a group of friends staying in the future. Nothing was too much trouble for Ingrid and Dave and the handy map was great. We were lucky with the weather too as even though we had arrived to showers of rain, we awoke the following morning to a bright blue sky which allowed for a walk around Colemere with our dogs, prior to an adventure to Shrewsbury. We took Dave's advice on Sunday and followed the canal path into Ellesmere and to a wonderful lunch at the Red Lion. We've just arrived home, feeling as though we are thoroughly refreshed and relaxed, even after driving the A55 on Bank holiday Monday. Another cherished memory for our motorhoming escapades! Diolch yn fawr 👍🏻

Highly recommended

We had a short break in this beautiful site. The peaceful nature of the site was so tranquil and just want we wanted. We had limited O2 phone signal but for us it was perfect to be away from the busy life we wanted peace from. We would definitely be returning there again.

Thanks Diane for your lovely comments and hope to see you again in the future! Dave and Ingrid🌞

A lovely weekend!

Our stay at Colemere was perfect! Ingrid and Dave have thought of everything you might need and the campsite itself is beautiful, a real gem. We wanted somewhere off grid and this hit the spot (we stargazed and saw 6 shooting stars!). It's only an hour's stroll from the nearest town (Ellesmere) which had a cool pub called 'The Vault'. However, make sure to pre-order a taxi when still at the campsite, otherwise there is no chance of getting one! We really enjoyed the relaxed feel of the site and the kitchen/shower facilities were perfect. We will definitely be back and thoroughly recommend :)

Pleased you had a great time. Many thanks, Ingrid and Dave.

Stunning and peaceful campsite

My partner and I camped here when visiting family. We loved it so much, we plan to stay here every time now. The adult only campsite, peaceful and quiet. Stunning views of nature, with beautiful lake views on the doorstep of the campsite. The owners were very helpful in welcoming us and the facilities were the cleanest I have ever experienced at a campsite!

Wow! thanks for your great review. Many thanks, Ingrid and Dave.

Lovely little place

Wonderful place & great facilities. The owners live on-site and make you feel at home. You can go on lovely walks right from the doorstep, it's the perfect adult getaway.

Beautiful site with great amenities

It was our first outing in our campervan, we don't have much experience with campsites to compare it to, but I suspect Colemere campsite has set the bar high! The site was clearly lovingly taken care of as everything was spotless and well thought out. The community use room was a bonus that we didn't expect. We enjoyed our stay very much, and had some lovely walks alongside the neighbouring mere and canal too.

Thanks for your kind comments, see you again soon. Kind regards Ingrid and Dave

Great site

Dave welcomed us with a smile, showed us to our pitch and a map of the local area with points of interest was provided. The dog loved the 1.1 mile walk around Colemere and at 11 years old was just a nice length for her. The facilities were great, no shortage of hot water, and the toilet block was kept very clean. There was a lounge area with T.V. for those who wanted it. 2 kitchen sinks and also meal making equipment (microwave, toaster and kettle). There were also heaters and somebody used them to dry their coats (it was a wet few days). Sitting outside on our plot when the sun did pop out, there was something missing then I realised... silence. There were no children running around kicking balls etc.
