This site is open all year round, you will need to be a member of the Camping and Caravanning Club to stay.

Just 10 minutes from the M6 and M56 a quite site, pretty level in the heart of the country side.

Booking is essential and you can call 07530 450019 or 07871 160647 to book

At the moment there are a small number of EHU, but reasonably priced at £13.50 a night. The toilets and showers are spotless, however they are shared and mixed sex
The water pressure can vary, and the shower temperature can also vary.

The views are stunning, and for the fisherman, if you are camping you have the use of one of the several lakes/ponds. I have not yet fished, but am told specimen Carp and others are to be caught!

The site is ideal for touring, and so many local attractions to visit, some right on the doorstep!  A local pub is just a five minute walk, with a number of others close by.

Gordon the site warden , well what a star, out to help you in any way that you can.
No extra charges for awnings, extra cars, pup tents, wind breaks etc.

At the time of writing this, we have been twice once in February and the other in March 2013 both times, freezing temperatures, but delightful stays

The site does also have a rally field.

Belmont Hall Camping and Caravanning Club site number 118/071 is set in secluded parkland with stunning views over the lake and surrounded by magnificent mature trees. There is abundant wildlife, many birds and mammals, foxes and badgers are commonly seen particularly in the evenings. The Hall itself is a very fine example of early Georgian architecture and is a grade 1 listed building. The site is ideal not only for a friendly relaxed stay but also for those travelling to and from Scotland and the North of England to the South and the Midlands. We are ideally placed as a stop off only 4 miles from the junction of the M6 and M56. The nearby villages of Comberbach and Antrobus both a short walk away contain shops and post offices. The beautiful old village of Great Budworth is close at hand, as are the four pubs, three of these with restaurants attached. Tatton Park, Arley Hall, Oulton Park, Aintree, Capsthorne Hall, Anderton Boat lift, Gawswoth Hall, the medieval old City of Chester, North Wales, the Peak District, Liverpool and Manchester are all within easy driving distance.

We booked this site in march this year for our annual halloween meet,15 units on hardstandings and with hook up,the booking was confirmed a few times with the owners,but upon arrival we were then told that we hadn't booked hardstandings! and that we had to use the grass area without hook up!

We usually book this site twice a year because of the hardstandings,hook ups and the time of year.

This site has new owners and is very badly run ,certainly a site to avoid,its a waste of time booking as when you arrive there is no guarantee your booking will be honoured.

This site has certainly lost a lot of buisness and a great deal of money,we would normally book this site in february when most sites would be welcome of the income from 15 units and around 45 people drinking and eating in their pub.]]> Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:42:09 paul9 Holmston Hall - Cheshire http://www.dandyforum.co.uk/forum/Blah.pl?m-1339366891/ http://www.dandyforum.co.uk/forum/Blah.pl?m-1339366891/#num1

This review for Holmston Hall was done first week in June 2012 and at this point in time, we had foul weather.
We did first camp here in 2008, and it was a delight to come back again. A number of changes have taken place since our last visit.
The site is in the heart of Cheshire countryside, close shops if you need them, just a short drive to say Tarporly where they have fuel, late night CooP and also a takeaway, bars and food.

The camping is sort of split up into a number of areas.

The Camping and Caravan pitches are very close to the entrance, these are hard standing, and back onto a quite country lane. I would guess several pitches all with EHU. A very nice part of the site, but BE WARNED if you do not have your own sanitation, it is a long walk to the facilities!!

Next to this area is the main rally field, this is very large, but get up closer and you will find 6 EHU for that smaller meet if required, and a bonus is these are not to far from the main facilities

There is also a Caravan (exclusive) area on hard standing, very pretty spot, and close to the fishing ponds.

Next up is the area near to the “Moat” this is a grassy area, and when we last stayed was just grass pitches, but this is now split into individual areas, I think maybe a dozen all with EHU and even individual water supply. I understand these changes to place in 2011

On our visit due to very bad rain, the rally field and also the main area had, had to cancel a rally, due to the ground being to wet.

We were allowed on, and got set up with no problem, and did manage to tow off our Dandy, again with no major issue
The site has lots of walks, and woodland, and for any one , and it does not matter what skill level! But any one that enjoys fishing are going to have what I can only describe as an amazing time.

I spent a couple of days fishing the “Woodlands” pool, and this was over better than I could have ever have imagined.







The facilities are limited, shower, loos, washing up area, but they are spotless and get a big thumbs up.

The site owners are lovely, but they have a zero tolerance for noise! If you are going with children, due to bad behaviour in the past, you may have to go onto the rally field.

This would make an ideal place for more of what I would class as a mini meet for those that enjoy fishing. Day tickets at the time of writing this are £6 for a day and a discount if you fish after 4

There is also an onsite tackle shop selling all sorts of things from bait to Pot Noodles!!

So, the bad points:

The site is very close to Oulton Park, so if there is a race on, you will hear the noise.
If you stay at the Camping and Caravan Club end of the site, you do have a very long walk to the facilities.
I am NOT going to deduct anything for the site being water logged, this has been extreme weather

A discount on fishing, if you are camping should really be done, but no real issue
Our stay in a Dandy was £13 a night with EHU which was good value I would say, but add on fishing cost and it can bump up the price.

I will give Holmston Hall an 8+ out of ten, and am already looking forward to going back!!

What a little gem of a site, off the beaten track or so it would seem but so close to all the attractions Windermere has to offer.

5 very spacious pitches set in woodland on the southwest of Lake Windermere






Half a mile from Lakeside  you can visit the Aquarium,take the Ferry or board the Steam Train







Just around the corner from the site is the Stotts Bobbin Mill for me it was the highlight of the week, the guided tour is a must(everything still works)







If Garden are your thing they are plentiful, the nearest is Graythwaite Hall, on your way to Hawkshead & Hilltop



And sometimes you never know what you will see



A couple of negatives
ADULTS ONLY
No Toilets or Showers
Very poor Phone Signal but I managed to get my network3 Dongle working and a signal with orange phone

One big plus , no TV reception but on request you can have a Sky Box and there is a dish for each pitch
Charge included along with EHU £11 per night.]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 10:18:08 maybee
