About Astbury Villa Certificated Site

Astbury Villa Certificated Site is a small campground in Saughall, just outside Chester. The facilities block includes showers, and the site keeps things simple and well-maintained. What sets it apart is the collection of animals roaming the grounds—a donkey and runner ducks by the pond—which add character to a stay.

The owners are hands-on and helpful, and visitors regularly comment on how clean everything is kept. The location works well as a base for exploring Chester itself, with Astbury House just a few minutes' walk away and The Wheatsheaf Inn nearby if you want an evening out.

Enjoyed this lovely countryside site with pond, ducks and donkey to keep us company while parked up with our motorhome. Had the vibe of a rural French site - very well kept and Tony couldn’t do enough to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The toilet and shower met our needs well. Would highly recommend.

A small but picturesque site enclosed bt trees with it's own large pond, a haven and back enough from the main road which gives easy assess to the delights and history of Chester. Lovely friendly staff and Jack their dog.
