5 star

1st time here will definitely return, friendly, clean, level have paid double the price at 5 star sights and not been up to these standards would highly recommend. Went to Cheshire oaks well worth a visit following day into Chester by bus £4 return bargain. Also had a few drinks and a bite to eat at the Rake 5 minutes walk lovely meal and not overpriced. Will definitely return

Enjoyable Stay

We spent three days at Chester last week and were very pleased. The site staff were extremely friendly and helpful.  The facilities were spotless and warm, when it was below zero. Cheshire Oaks Retail Outlet is less than 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes by bike.  Here you can get a bus to Liverpool or Chester. We cycled the 5.5 miles into Chester along the canal which was very easy and flat. A great site.

Great site in every respect!

We stayed here for the first time over the Christmas period, although a bit pricey the whole experience was excellent. The site is perfectly situated for walking to Cheshire Oaks and is virtually on the bus route for Chester and Liverpool. The facilities are relatively new. They were spotless and well heated. The site wardens were excellent, very welcoming and helpful. They certainly had a busy time with the changing, challenging weather. We would certainly recommend this site and will return.

Great site

We stayed here for one night just before Christmas to test out our motor home. Despite the wardens being extremely busy 'sweeping' surface water away, they both took the time to make us feel very welcome and provide advice when we asked for it. The location is very well placed for the shopping outlet centre, where you can also catch a bus to Chester. The site washrooms are excellent and were spotless on our visit. Overall, an excellent site and we will be back - hopefully in finer weather!

Shopping Location Best Atribute

First visit in winter to a site because of necessity (moving house) Positive : Wardens friendly and Very hard working Toilet & Showers first class (Temperature a little lower than used to but that may be be due to winter period) negatives : site waterlogged, many pitches were flooded with cones identifying the worst but many also had water on stone areas, this due to underlying clay soil. When frozen very dangerous for. Trips and slips / Wardens put salt around shower block and water points but only so much they can do! Generally paths / roads can be very bad to walk on with some flooded across. ( this may only be in absolute worse conditions but we witnessed this) Waste of time for dog owners due to total mud /water , every walk is a bath time on return ( lot of work) Hope this helps people looking for an all year site that really shouldn't be so has to be for shoppers, and profitable for the club because of this. Staff are great however.

Shopped until we dropped

We chose this site because of its close proximity to Cheshire Oaks, Chester and Liverpool. After seeing the weather reports for the day we should have been arriving forcasting heavy snow, we phoned to see if we could arrive a day earlier to make sure we got over the Pennines to the site. Never a bad thing if you get stuck onsite and cannot leave!! Arriving a day earlier gave us much more time to do our Christmas shopping. Cheshire Oaks is a 10 minute walk and has a vast selection of outlets and shops. Buses run from the shopping outlet to both Liverpool and Chester, at £4 per person per day. So a fantastic way to travel into both cities. We had brilliant days out in both cities and also spent the day at Chester Zoo, the bus stops off here too. Chester Zoo is an absolute must, we found enough to do the whole day even at 0oc. Just needed to wrap up warm. As far as the site goes...............perfect. Wardens were lovely, all facilities immaculate, despite the weather the wardens worked so hard to keep the site gritted and water defrosted. I would definately recommend the site either for a shopping spree or visiting the surrounding towns and cities. A great selection of places to eat out in the area, or a huge M and S with a foodhall if you want to cater in. Look forward to coming back in the near future.

Excellent site and top facilities

We stayed here for the second time in mid November. The welcome and help from the wardens was excellent, as before. Our pitch was on the top side of the site and the proximity to the waste and water facilities was very handy. Everything about this site is top notch, from the spotless and warm shower block to the scrupulous state of the pitch surrounds. The wardens obviously take huge pride in their site and it certainly shows. The information room was very useful indeed and by browsing in there we found, and took advantage of, the special offers available to Caravan Club members at both Ness Botanic Gardens and the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port. Our only slight criticism was the constant traffic noise from local roads and motorway, but being November, we never sat outside, so it was fine. However, on a summer’s day, that noise could potentially spoil the tranquillity of the site. Another point for serious consideration is putting up larger signs indicating the entrance to the site. There is no sign at all on Rake Lane, coming from the direction of Chester and the sign that is there is not large enough. It is far too easy to miss the entrance at the moment, as all our visitors found. The site itself is just excellent, though, and we will definitely return.

Overall this is a good site

We have been to this site several times so when it was closed a while ago for upgrades we expected the flooding to have been sorted. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and at least one service point - the one we needed to use - was barely accessible due to flooding. Our pitch flooded again although this time we were able to exit our motorhome and were not confined to it for 2 days as we were about 3 years ago over Xmas and New Year. Apart from that, this is a lovely site with cheerful wardens who worked hard due to the constant changeover of visitors. Will be going back.

lovely stay

Arrived to a lovely wecome off the wardens and plenty of spacious pitches to choose from. The facilities were immaculate nice hot showers and spacious cubicle. The disabled toilet is again spotless and has all requirements. There is a good dog exercising area for dogs and a park on site for the children. A faultless site right on the door step and walking distance of cheshire oaks retail park and a huge outlet offering good food and takeaway food a M&S and Sainsburys is also on the outlet.The Blue planet aquarium and bus stop to Chester Liverpool and Elsmere port is a short walk away from.the site. A great well run site very well recommended

Shopping Break

Ideal site for shopping at Cheshire Oaks and also Liverpool One. Been many times to this site and overall it is okay. Some problems with standing water on pitches and roads. Wardens gave us a friendly welcome and other than that had no contact with them. Toilets very clean and recently refurbished. Amazed at thoughtlessness of some members churning up the grass at the edge of the roads. On hitching up I temporarily blocked the road and was flabbergasted when someone wasn't prepared to wait and drove across a twenty yard patch of grass to exit the site leaving two huge grooves across the grass.. A typical lack of respect from this Volvo owner who I hope reads this and feels some shame. A disappointing ending to a great four days break. P.S Bus Pass gets you to Liverpool in fifty minutes for free from Cheshire Oaks Bus Stop. .
