Why stay here ...
We welcome you to our Certificated Location Burtons Acre at Green Farm.
Green Farm is a small traditional family run dairy farm on the edge of the popular Cheshire village of Saughall just outside of Chester.
The CL is conveniently located just off the main route into North Wales at the end of the M56. For those who enjoy walking and cycling there is a superb network of dedicated cycle routes linking Chester and the surrounding area and for the more
adventurous all the way to West Kirby at the tip of the Wirral peninsula.
The nearby village of Saughall has a pub, co-op, take-away and Lyndas tea room.
If you are keen shoppers we have a number of out of town shopping centres including Cheshire Oaks as well as Chester city
itself which is a ten minute bus ride away from the terminus located on the corner of Lodge Lane.
We are ideally located for day trips into North Wales being less than 1 mile from the Welsh border.
Other local attractions include Chester Zoo, Blue Planet Aquarium, Chester City Roman walls.

Great place to stay
Burton's Acre
Just come back from 8 nights at this lovely site. Site is level with very well spaced pitches. It is a working farm so dogs only on a lead (not a problem for us). £15 a night then your electric on top which is fair you need one or two pound coins. We seemed to use around £2 a day. Depending where you park you either have a field behind you which when we were there had calves in it or the main barn for the farm. Access onto the site we were advised is being improved, not a problem for us but we could see it may get a little muddy where is is used by the site and the farm. Railway sleepers are due to be laid to improve this slight potential issue.
Great area to explore. Bus to Chester is 5 mins walk away with service every 30 mins during the day. Chester is a really interesting city. Would also recommend the National Waterways Museum at Elsmere Port; we spend around 4 hours there learning about the area and the history of the canals . Port Sunlight is also under 30 mins drive and is free to walk around small charge for the museum (worth a visit first to understand the history of the town) and the art gallery which asks for a £5 donation for entry. If designer shopping is your thing there is a vast out of town designer outlet village near Elsmere Port with free parking. The canal made for some good walks and finally visit Chester Zoo best zoo we have been to in the UK. Buy your tickets on line the day before to save money and the queues.
There is a pub in the village where the locals will chat to you but the kitchen is closed until mid July for referb. Opposite the bus stop there is a Chinese takeaway others on the site used it but I cannot ent about the food but the prices seemed reasonable.
Grey water was drained into the edge of the field. Black was taken to an undercover WC in the corner of the field. Asked for Green fluid only. Both water to clean waste and fresh water was also there.
Weather could have been kinder but hay ho this is the UK!

Superb
Burton's Acre
We initially booked to stay for 4 nights and ended up extending our stay as it was so nice.
Jenny was very helpful with the booking and information and is rightly proud of the magnificent nightly sunset, with advice so you dont miss it..
The site is a very large, well maintained field , very quiet and peaceful with metered 16 amp electric ( £1 & £2 coins). All pitches are very large and no regimented requirements with pitching position. Very good TV & Phone signal
We visited Cheshire Oaks as well as several visits to Chester. We did walk all the way into Chester along the Cycleway ( approx 4 miles) as well as using the regular bus service to return . Other option is to get the bus at the end of the lane to Blacon, then join the cycleway and walk into or back from Chester from that point .,
There is a Coop and a Chinese Take Away in the village as well as a Spar in Blacon.
The site is not too far from the A55 and easy access making it ideal for overnight journey stops .
Highly recommended CL and we will definitely return

Burton's Acre
Stayed here longer than we booked for as it's so nice. Most of the time only us so only noise at night was the local owl.
Bus into Chester every half hour and just a short walk to the bus stop. Great spot for us to ride our bikes from with many good flat bike tracks to ride on. Need more CL's like this with public transport close at hand for us motorhome's without a car. Hope to use again next year.
Lovely site
Burton's Acre
Lovely flat field overlooking cows grazing so easy to park up wherever you like. Really easy to find using What3words just off the motorway. We went to the Boat Museum ( fab restaurant and interactive tour using our apps.( note high vehicles will need to park in the coach bays as barrier over car park)and Chester and even explored some of the local footpaths. There is a great children’s play area and Chinese restaurant at the bottom of the road (5 min walk away).

A great Stopover.
Burton's Acre
We used this CL as a 2 night stopover on our way to Anglesey and it didn't disappoint in what we expected. Access was easy and straight off the M56 with no issues getting to the site, and obviously no issues getting onto the A55 when we left.
We was greeted warmly and allowed to pitch where we wanted on a very flat and spacious field.
Facilities were good the only thing missing was a wash down hose/tap for the chemical disposal. Other than that it had everything we needed for a short stay. It was a very peaceful and relaxing location and I would thoroughly recommend it certainly for a stopover to North Wales or even a longer stay.
