Our 3rd Christmas at Chester Fairoaks

After being a member of the CMHC for a few years now, Chester Fairoaks rates as possibly our favorite site. While we do have personal reasons for traveling up to Chester from our home in Oxfordshire fairly regularly, this takes nothing away from the fact that it is a great site. First of all, possibly the best toilet block we have ever come across on any site - from the contemporary decor to the sparkling cleanliness and radio 2 playing reassuringly in the background. Secondly, the Wardens - all so enthusiastic and so very welcoming, particularly Sharon, who always makes us smile. There is also Jessica, the site cat, who sort of camps out in the warm information room - we pay her a visit most nights when we go for a walk before turning in for the night. Of course, just across the road is the massive designer outlet village - we always walk across - 10 minutes max. So the last 3 years we have spent our Christmas here. Typically, we arrive on the 23rd and leave just before the site fills up for New Year. Each of the last 3 years, we have been joined by around 30 other vans, which is just perfect for us. I would recommend this site to anyone.

New Year

We really enjoyed this site from the moment we drove in. We arrived in the dark and the wardens were quick to offer to help manoeuvre the caravan onto pitch. I would rate the toilet block as higher than the usual CMC standards. Lots of pressure, plenty of hot water and immaculately clean. Pitches were flat which is a huge bonus for us. We went to this site mainly for the outlet as you can literally walk across the road to it - loads of restaurants/pubs within a 1 mile radius. We will definitely return.

Black Friday Break!

We arrived on Black Friday and the wardens were ready to book in over 50 set ups and they carried on booking people in into the evening. What fantastic wardens always smiling, working so hard. Our three dogs appreciated that the dog walk is now securely fenced, having a good run with other dogs safely in the enclosed space. Yes there is traffic noise but this is the price to pay for being so conveniently situated to the motorway network. The shopping outlet across the road is good and expanding. Numerous places to eat, The Rake within walking distance. A well run site, we were made to feel very welcome.

The wardens are brilliant!

We had a small technical problem which (I hope!) seemed to resolve itself. The wardens were very supportive, so thankyou, folks.

A lovely break with old friends (almost) spoilt by inconsiderate dog owners

Lovely site with excellent facilities and enhanced by good weather, lovely wardens and really good fish and chips on site. Contrary to a previous review, we saw our fish being battered and cooked and our chips being cooked, all fresh. We didn't make it into Chester this time but enjoyed some retail therapy at Cheshire Oaks, a lovely trip into Wales and a visit to Port Sunlight and Parkgate. You can hear the drone of the traffic on the nearby motorway and road but it's not intrusive. Our only bugbear was some of the dog owners, one left their 3 dogs in their van with the TV and the light on and they barked most of the 5 hours they were left this way! Another allowed their dog to foul the grass near the shower block, off the lead and in the dark. Surely it's time to charge for dogs and to limit the number of dogs per pitch?? We understand that the wardens did speak to the owners who left their dogs and they left soon afterwards.

Great location. Lovely site.

Lovely site. Just had seven nights there. Spacious pitches. Staff constantly clearing leaves to try to keep the site tidy - not easy! Showers a bit cold at times. Constant drone from motorways and nearby airfield but nothing that earplugs couldn’t sort out. Pub next door - The Rake - cheap and cheerful, always busy, remember to show your CC card to get 20% discount on food, practically giving it away. Visited Chester, always lovely. Go down to the river and walk the promenade round the racecourse. Northwich , very nice, Anderton boatlift amazing to see but no boat trips in November, site only open at weekends. Went back to Crosby to see Anthony Gormleys “Another Place”, always brilliant to see, check the tide times so you catch it when the tide is either going out or coming in to see it at its best. Great food van in the car park. Very welcome tasty homemade soup and bacon barm - just the job after a cold walk on the promenade.The Cheshire oaks outlet is walkable from the site if you want shopping. Fish and chip van twice a week, decidedly underwhelming, tasteless fish, and chips not much better. Seemed like it was all frozen. A good week, we will be back.

Great Site

We stayed for 10 days. Friendly welcome from wardens lots of information leaflets given to us on arrival regarding buses etc. Site facilities normal standard. One issue was water pressure very poor and temperature of water in washing up area only luke warm. Site within walking distance to Cheshire oaks shopping centre. Chester a great place to visit park and ride £2 per person we felt great value. Within easy reach of Liverpool. Tatton Park within driving distance £7 to park but great place for walking and to see deer. Port sunlight well worth a visit. Plenty eating places around Cheshire oaks Rake pub 5 mins from site food ok. Would definitely return to this site

Halloween and half-term visits...

Staying for six nights in our tourer. Our seventh or eighth visit to this site over as many years, an efficient and speedy booking in at reception and we were advised of available pitches as site was very busy. Office was decorated for the upcoming ‘Halloween’ very impressive. Site facilities were as always kept upto the highest of standards considering the numbers of visitors on site. A ‘spooky experience’ was organised for the younger campers which seemed to go down well! A decorated unit competition and the impressive costumes and make up worn by the young visitors ‘trick or treating’ was excellent. The good weather played a part in making another visit to the extended family enjoyable. A good visit to a well run site.

Return Visit

Our second time at this site. Nice welcome by the site staff on arrival. Since our last visit the toilet block has been refurbished to an excellent standard. Also good to see a new style open grill motorhome waste point has also been installed. If you want to leave your motorhome on site there is access to bus services at the Cheshire Oaks Outlet Shopping Centre which is about a mile walk from the site. Be aware that from the site to the main road there is no footpath. There are frequent services to the new Chester Bus Interchange as well as other local destinations. Plenty of places to eat out near to the site. The Rake Inn almost next to the site is good value.
