Why stay here ...
A warm welcome at Common Farm, the CL with its own onsite brewery - Spitting Feathers (tour and beer sales available). The site is just 3 miles from Chester city centre, a mecca for shoping, entertainment and nightlife. There is a well surfaced foot/cycle path along the Shropshire Union canal into the city centre. There are good connections for Liverpool (approximately 20 miles) and North Wales.
In the village there is a shop, pharmacy, sandwich bar, takeaway and pubs. Nearby attractions include the Crocky Trail, Chester Zoo, the Ice-Cream Farm, Cheshire Oaks Outlet Village and lots more. There is excellent walking and cycling locally.

Needs a bit of TLC
Common Farm
Stayed here early May and only just found it as there is no Club sign on the roadside. Friendly welcome by Mathew who explains everything you need to know with a helpful info sheet. The entrance is very tight and at present the sandy area at the gate makes a right mess inside the vehicle after opening and shutting the entrance gate. The site is fairly level but you have to choose your spot carefully after negotiating the fruit trees which will need pruning in the near future. Full service pitches but the electric and water points need
de-weeding as nettles are growing around the points. The grass field is mown short but clippings are not picked up also there is long grass around the fruit trees which make it look untidy. The owners very friendly dog does roam the site usually with a ball that has to be thrown, not an issue if you don’t mind dogs.
A Five Star CL
Common Farm
We stayed a week on this lovely site and it is one of the very best. Matthew and Alison were so kind and helpful. When we arrived Matthew was there to help us and gave us a booklet with information about the area, places to eat and places of interest. We initially had a problem with our caravan and Matthew fixed it.
Brontë (their dog) was very friendly and we got to see her three puppies.
Their kindness and helpful approach together with the lovely setting ensures we will definitely return.

'AN ORCHARD OF PLENTY!!'
Common Farm
What more can be said!! Have to agree with previous reviewers.
There is no Caravan Club sign at the entrance but a good welcome from Matthew.
A nice orchard site with free fruit in season.
Walks down the canal and plenty of caches for those who do geocaching,
A trip to Cheshire Oaks for retail therapy, days out to Quarry Bank and the Anderton Boat Lift are very interesting.
The park and ride into Chester is £2 and easy to get to, when there a walk around the city walls which is a must for those who are able to walk and manage steps etc.
A warm welcome awaits from the Evangelical Church in Waverton at their Sunday services.
It was quite wet on our leaving day and we did have some problems getting off but all in all a lovely week.
Best CL we have stayed in
Common Farm
Matthew cheerfully greeted us as we arrived at this pretty and spacious orchard site with a lovely brochure, giving so much info on pubs, walks, shops, bus stops…. and over the next week we were able to do day and evening walks through the local exceptionally pretty villages and along canals even into Chester (catching the bus back!) as well as drive to Erddig NT and Quarry Bank NT (don’t miss either), to the amazing Victorian Anderton boat lift, and the beautiful Lever Brothers Port Sunlight village. So very central, but a peaceful and quiet CL with your own water as well as electrics and with grey water going into the hedge it could nearly be described as Fully Serviced and all for £20 pn
Not forgetting access to his own beer at the Spitting Feathers brewery on a different part of the farm, which did not impinge on the CL in any way.
Wish we lived nearer as this would become our go-to site, but it’s a long way from the South coast!
Brilliant holiday in July 2023 in a wonderful
CL
Just fantastic. Outstanding site and welcome.
Common Farm
As previous comments have said, the site to stay at again and again. Matthew and Alison have got it just right. Every bit of our stay was perfect from the welcome to the walks and orchard loaded with fruit (pick your own breakfast!).
I don't want to labour the point but if you want perfection in a CL this is it. And don't forger the super beers, ciders and perfect gin on site.....
We will be back! xx
