Somewhere nice to stay nr Crewe

[The Grub]

Spent last night looking into where to stay for 2 nights when we go to the Crewe game but ended up no clearer than when we started. The options are camping, which we love, or staying at a B&B/Inn. Crewe it's self do'es not seem too inspiring so we could go as far as the western Peak District.

Does anyone have any knowledge of or suggestions for the area please?

There are a few nice camp sites on the canal south of crewe itsself

Anywhere between Market Drayton and Nantwich

Isn't NANTWICH rather nice this time of year...

is that not a contradiction in terms?

Although not overly near Crewe, The Coopers Arms in Crowborough offers free camping and spectacular views. Dave the landlord is also more than happy to help warm your sleeping bag up for you.

That's pretty much what we came up with, but they mostly seemed to be caravan sites rather than campsites. I'll keep looking, though......

Check out Nantwich. Far better than Crewe. How close to Crewe do you want to be ?

We just don't want too much of a drive each way to the game. I think Nantwich is probably ideal distance, but up to double that would probably be OK.

PM El Pres. I'm sure he'll let you pitch your tent in his garden.

I have the misfortune to live in Crewe, the best cheap hotels near the ground are the Ramada (with a view of McDonalds), the Crewe Arms (opposite the station) or the Waverley Hotel (on a small street just off the main road by the ground).

I can't think of any campsites in Crewe or Nantwich. The best bet to stay would be Nantwich, which is a nice old town with plenty of pubs. Best hotel there would be the Crown Hotel which is literally right in the town centre and a lovely old building. A cheaper option would be the Premier Inn at the Peacock between Crewe and Nantwich.

There's a Travelodge at the M6 junction 16 but I know three people who've had their car broken into there so may not be a good idea.

It's about a 45 minute drive to the best places in the Derbyshire Peaks, where the scenery is stunning. However, I believe there is now a campsite at a pub called the Shady Oak in Beeston in the heart of Cheshire around 20 minutes drive from Crewe, it's very nice around there too.

How about somewhere in Shropshire, maybe the area just south of Shrewsbury, with stunning views of the Long Mynd you can't go wrong.

Chester is very nice and a 15 minute train ride from Crewe.

Thanks for all your ideas. I've found somewhere that seems perfect. There is a campsite attached to a pub on the canal side. The Cotton Arms in Wrenbury is only £8 per night per tent so it's a bargain too. And the pub's open till about 1am.

Sully,if you are stopping over in Nantwich,suggest you use the train, from Nantwich to Crewe. Nantwich centre has some good pubs. Try the Boot & Shoe,might even have a website ?
