Delamere Lake Holiday Park has a gorgeous woodland location in Cheshire set around a 120 acre lake in the heart of the Cheshire Plain. You'll also be well located to explore Delamore Forest meaning you really have the best of both worlds.
The lodges themselves have the wow factor with floor to ceiling glass windows making the views simply amazing. We love the Country Lodge Six VIP Platinum which is a luxurious and spacious lodge, perfect for families and couples. With one double and two twin rooms there is plenty of space and the furnishings are of a very high standard. Step outside onto your own decking area with garden furniture and a hot tub to enjoy!
Some lodges are pet friendly at this park meaning you don't have to leave anyone behind.
You can go sailing on the lake or relax in your own private hot tub and take in the scenery. Nature lovers will be in their element at this park with walks and watersports including on sire wake-boarding right on the doorstep.
The charming town of Chester is just 10 miles from Delamere Lake Holiday Park where you can find great shopping and sight seeing as well as cafe culture. There are plenty of unique independent shops to explore.
If you wanted to explore the region further there are so many recommended attractions. For families then Go Ape Cheshire and Gulliver's World Theme Park are fantastic.

"Lodge was lovely and spacious."
"We frequently book with Hoeseasons due to the reputable name you have, but I do feel sometime private listings aren't vetted enough. Positive for this holiday: Excellent location The lake was amazing and the park was well kept The size of the lodge was ampleHot tub was a good size Lovely decking area and furniture was suitable Keyless system making check in easy kitchen was well equippedNegatives: The smaller double bedrooms ensuite absolutely stunk of urine, it was pungent and kept us up in the night. They obviously know about it as it was the only room which had the window open when we arrived, the fan extractor on and two reed diffusers to shift the smell. It was disgusting! No hooks anywhere to hang coats, towels or clothes. Dishwasher didn't wash very wellI know you'll say why didn't you let us know when you were there. We were there to celebrate my in-laws wedding anniversary and I didn't want to ruin their weekend by making a fuss and moaning and you wouldn't have been able to fix the smell whilst we were there anyway. We actually decided to leave after two night as we couldn't face sleeping there for the 3rd night. I'm letting you know so you can address the issue for further guests."
"Wonderful time"
"The lodge was spotless, spacious and well appointed. Well stocked on the whole but could do with a few more plates/glasses etc in the kitchen. A couple of larger pans would be good too. Beds/bedding comfy and clean."
"Our Delamere Lake Sailing and Holiday Park review: We had such a lovely stay at the lodge! The peaceful setting really made it special and we loved how much attention to detail there was - the hot tub was massive and the kitchen had everything we needed. Having TVs in every room was a bonus and the row boat was a fun touch. Only thing we missed were some robes or towels just for the hot tub. Definitely coming back!"
"What a great weekend away. Very clean, lovely location. Everything we needed and more. Taxis very expensive in the area though."
"Delamere is in a lovely setting and the forest nearby is great for a visit. The lodge itself was nice and really spacious for a large group. The decking and hot tub were a great addition. It has a great potential but was let down in lots of ways.It just lacked TLC, the bath towels were stained and there were quite a few cobwebs and dead flies - such as in the lampshades. There was a nappy in the bin. The kitchen really lacked equipment and is really not designed for cooking. No baking trays, no grill plan, no potato peeler, no whisk. A really poor frying pan. No sieve. So even just warming up pizza and sides was tricky.There was no hand soap, no spare toilet rolls- just some basics that make it a little easier. No mirrors or bedside lamps or lighting. A curtain missing in the living room. Some TLC and a couple of additions would make this a great location"
"Our lodge was beautiful and spotless. We stayed in lodge number 8. Everything you need, plenty of towels, . We forgot to take milk and luckily they had provided sachets of milk and tea, coffee and sugar which were a nice touch, hot tub was lovely and clean nice and hot too. Staff were friendly and helpful we payed extra £30 for later check out while we was there. There is everything you need in the kitchen to cook family meals. We cant wait to come back and would definitely stay in the lodge again."
"What a beautiful holiday park! We stayed in lodge 19 right on the lake. The lodge itself was so big and pretty much had everything you needed, fridge freezer, washer/dryer etc. only downfall I would say is the utensils could do with replacing and there was a lot of cobwebs high up. We were blessed with beautiful weather which is always a pluss. Beds were comfortable.Cheshire oaks is about 20 min drive and Chester zoo around the same. There is plenty to do. I will definitely be staying again!"
"We had a great stay! The place was really warm, spotless and super comfy. Only tiny thing was the pillowcases felt a bit rough on our faces. Everything else was spot on though!"
"We stayed here with friends and woke up early to catch the sunrise at the misty lake - honestly, it was breathtaking! The location is so peaceful, perfect for unwinding. We took the dog for walks around the area, which he loved. The lodge had everything we needed: a hot tub, two double-headed showers and a nice bath. Although we didnt bring children, we noticed high chairs were available if needed. The kitchen was well equipped - dishwasher, easy-to-use oven and microwave - and there were thoughtful extras like sponges and washing up liquid in a cute little gift box, plus a handy guide to local attractions and facilities. The TV had Netflix, BBC iPlayer and standard channels, all straightforward to navigate. The place was spotless, towels were provided, but we brought our own just in case. Were already planning to come back soon - cant wait!"
"We stayed at Delamere Lake Holiday Park with the whole family, including our little dog, from 9th to 13th March 2020. The cabins were stunning-bright, spacious and spotless. The beds were super comfy, so we had no trouble relaxing. The hot tub was already warm when we arrived, which was just perfect. Plus, parking for two cars was a big plus. Honestly, we had a fantastic time and cant wait to return!"
"We had a really lovely time staying in the lakeside lodge. The setting was just stunning, right on the water and the weather was perfect for jumping off our private jetty and taking a swim. Its a shame that the lodges seem to be privately owned and rented out, because it means the experience can vary quite a bit. It would be so much better if each lodge had a proper name or was marketed more clearly, so you know exactly what youre getting - for example, the lodge in the photos has a glass surround on a two-level deck, a BBQ and a sun bed. Ours was nearby, still lakeside, but with a wooden slatted surround and no BBQ or sun bed, which was a bit disappointing. The details are quite vague about whats included, though we were pleased to find a washing machine, which wasnt mentioned. Some lodges even have rowing boats, which sounds fun. A few arent directly lakeside, which Id find a bit annoying since youd only see other lake-side lodges. Overall, a lovely spot for a break, with plenty of scenic walks and cosy pubs nearby - wed definitely go back!"
"Booking was straightforward and hassle-free, which was great. The Lodge was spotless and comfortable, plenty of space for our group of seven ladies. The hot tub was a good size for everyone. Staff were really helpful with our questions beforehand. The nearby pub offering a discount was a nice bonus. Would definitely stay again!"
"Easy to book, good value, lovely and clean Lodge.We were a group of 7 ladies, lots of room for all plus hot tub was big enough for us all.Staff where really helpful to all my questions on email.Pub not far away, take your key and you get 10% off the billWould recommend."
"Really enjoyed our stay, perfect for relaxing weekends away."
"Beautiful log cabin so cosy and relaxing definitely recommend this"
"We really enjoyed our stay, the lodge is beautiful. Only thing i would say is a nest of tables would be beneficial and a rug in from of the patio doors for when you get out the hot tub, saves the floor getting soaked.Everything else perfect. Our heating did go off overnight sat and until 11-12 Sunday afternoon, but the staff were very helpful.We hope to book again soon."
"We had such a lovely stay at this good place! The setting is truly peaceful and private, perfect for escaping the hustle. The owners were super friendly and always ready to help if needed, but kept their distance so we still felt like we had our own space. The hot tub was a real highlight after a day out cycling-its just what we needed. Only thing to note is that the cottage sits right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but its worth mentioning if noise bothers you."
"Great stay, loved the peaceful lakeside and the hot tub was a bonus!"
"Really loved the lodges peaceful spot by the lake. It was spacious, spotless and felt just like home. Can't wait to come back!"
"We had a pretty decent stay overall. The setting by the lake was really lovely, with well-maintained grounds and a peaceful vibe that made it perfect for unwinding. The whole experience was contactless, which we appreciated - everything from check-in to key collection was via an app on our phones, so no need to chat with staff if you dont want to. The accommodation itself was quite modern, with a sleek, contemporary look. The bed was comfy and all the bedding and towels were spotless and fresh, which was nice. Only real downside was the amount of long black hairs we found on the bathroom floor, which wasnt ours. Also, the lodge felt a bit on the small side - more like an updated caravan than a spacious lodge, especially compared to some places weve stayed for less. Still, its a quiet, chilled spot wed return to for sure!"
"We really enjoyed the space in the lounge and dining area-so comfy! The sofas and TV made relaxing easy. The bedrooms are generously sized with nice ensuites, which was a bonus. The lodge was spotless and well-kept. There were just a few small things missing, like oven gloves, tea towels and a bit more kitchenware such as tongs. Also, some extra full-length mirrors in the bedrooms would be handy. Overall, a modern, clean place wed happily stay in again."
"We had an amazing weekend at this place! The location was perfect for what we needed and the garden was great for the dogs. They especially loved the underfloor heating-it kept them super cosy. Luna wagged her tail so much she hurt it, but honestly, everyone was happy. Well definitely be coming back soon! Very pleased with the stay."
"We had a lovely stay at Delamere Lake recently. The location was spot on, just about a 20-minute drive from Darsbury, which was perfect for our trip to the Creamfields Festival. The whole site is really well looked after and the facilities were better than we expected - everything we needed was there. The lodges were super comfortable and had all the gear we could want, making for a really peaceful break. We did have a bit of trouble with the entrance barriers, which are managed by a third-party security firm. The security guy answering the bell often didnt respond quickly, which was a bit annoying. Not really the parks fault, but maybe they should think about switching to a more reliable security company. That said, the staff at the reception and during checkout were brilliant - really friendly and helpful. Overall, apart from that small hiccup, it was a fantastic trip and wed definitely recommend Delamere Lake if you want a relaxing getaway with great amenities!"
"Great vibe, friendly staff"
"Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really go above and beyond to make everything perfect. Well be back for sure!"
"We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is serene and perfect for a relaxing break. Its a peaceful spot and were looking forward to seeing how it develops with new amenities."
"The lodge was of very high standard, clean, had everything we needed. Hot tub was spotless and staff checked it daily. Surroundings were beautiful. We even had a dip in the lake. Have booked again."
"We went away in a big family group which made the cost very reasonable. I was worried it might feel small for 8 of us but it didn’t.
The facilities were great and the hot tub an added extra. We would have liked more dishwasher tablets and slightly comfier beds but everything else was perfect.
The lake and park is very pretty and a tranquil retreat. We went into Chester as it’s quite close by (£25 in a taxi.). This was great as we were able to come home to the lodge as a base."
"Stunning location we had a lodge with a jetty on the water , would recommend this for full experience if you like water sports or just watching the wildlife. With lake delamrere wild shore wake park on the the same lake it was great to have this right at hand super fun . But you could not see it from lodges so you would not know it was there if you just wanted to relax ."
"Excellent lodge, very clean and in a great location. We will come back"
"Had an amazing holiday and relaxing week gorgeous views to wake up to. Great hot tub our second visit here we can’t wait to go again!
Lodge was outstanding."
"Lovely 3 night stay, close to Chester town and Cheshire oaks. Would recommend."
