Park Review: OverWater Marina

Amid beautiful Cheshire countryside, a new, exclusive holiday lodge park is being established – and the lodges are bespoke-created in Cumbria

If you've ever wondered whether to go for a holiday home afloat on the canal network or one that's on dry land, you may be interested to know you can have the best of both worlds.

Beside the peaceful waters of a pretty canal marina in south Cheshire lies a holiday lodge park with a distinctive character. OverWater Marina is on the Shropshire Union Canal, close to the vibrant canal side village of Audlem.

Marina of the Year

 

The marina is known – and recognised – for its beauty and customer service; OverWater has been Inland Marina of the Year or Runner-up for the last four years in succession. It's also known for being a great centre for walking; numerous circular walks lead from the marina and the reception office has copies of a leaflet entitled Audlem Walks.

Audlem has three village pubs, two by the canal and one in the village centre, all of them serving food. Three cafés and many shops – plus free parking – are attractions of Audlem.

Holiday lodges

Well established as a centre for canal boating, OverWater has now branched out into holiday lodges, bespoke-crafted specially for the lodge park by Cumbria manufacturer Retreat Homes and Lodges.

Four lodges are now at this exclusive development – the Ash Lodge, Beech Lodge, Chestnut Lodge and Damson Lodge; a show lodge is now open for viewing. Many options are available for purchasers to personalise and upgrade their lodge.

Priced at £185,000, they have a 100-year lease. Pitch fees are £2,750 per year.
