Used this site primarily to attend Carfest north but also to visit other places nearby such as Port Sunlight and Chester. Surprisingly rural and quiet as it is near busy urban areas and roads ,you need to allow for heavy traffic on journeys . Really clean and well maintained with great staff .It was full when we stayed and had lots of families with small children who enjoyed the play area.It was a very pleasant weekend and ideal as a base for our activities.
On approaching the site my heart was sinking as it's amongst a network of very busy noisy roads, but at the last minute we turned down a lane and were immediately in a lovely rural spot! The site is typical CC, i.e. immaculate with good facilities. It's in a good location for catching a bus to Chester (2 mile complete roman wall) and Liverpool and driving through North Wales. We booked a dog sitter to have our two dogs for the day when we went to Liverpool, which was great so we could visit museums, the Eye and have a rather jolly boozy lunch in a restaurant which would not have been possible with the dogs. She even dropped the dogs back at the site for an extra fiver, so all good. We were sited next to some tall trees so the TV reception in the evening not great but not a huge problem. Port Sunlight which is up the road is definitely worth a visit even though it sounds like it might be a bit dull - it really isn't - it even has a lovely free art gallery, which is currently exhibiting Picasso.
Just had a week with a grandchild. Had great time. So many things to see and do and easy access into Wales, The Wirral, Liverpool, and Manchester. Have stayed many times before and will be staying twice more this year. Play Area and Toilets are excellent. So is the Info Room, and the Wardens are always helpful.
However this site is is like many in the network. It has many facilities for the disabled caravanner but fails to recognise that many users whilst not disabled are getting a little old and infirm. For example access to the toilets are now from one side only. So you have a long walk round. There could be a path through to the office via Late N Arrivals to save a long walk round. Also why can something not be done to the road surface. The puddles that come with rain are a damn nuisance. Some are so deep the go over the top of children's shoes. TV is also very poor one some pitches behind trees. How about spending a bit of the profits for even more 'improvements'? At £5 per night peak season I expect a bit more perfection.
A top rated site with some large pitches. Great for touring the area with a nearby bus service going from Chester to Liverpool. Only downside is unless you have a local bus pass you have to pay if you wish to travel into Wales.
This is our second visit to this site and we enjoyed it enormously. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the site is in an excellent location close to three pubs/restaurants and only a short walk to the shopping outlet and bus links that can take passengers to Chester via the zoo. Plenty to see and do. We will definitely return again .
When we arrived at Chester Fairoaks we were immediately impressed. It's immaculate. The welcome from the warden was first class - polite and helpful with a smile. The facilities are outstanding. Cleanliness is the best we have ever experienced. At every visit they were immaculate. The abundance of trees and foliage give the site more character than most of the CC sites and our children (5 & 2) loved the open grass areas and the playground too. The convenience of the local pubs, shops and other attractions is a huge bonus. The site is literally down the road from Chester Zoo and several folks on the site were spotted walking back from Cheshire Oaks. I have one criticism - the ground beneath the hard-standing on our pitch was almost impenetrable. I struggled to get rock pegs into the main awning fastenings and gave up with the skirt pegs. Shame that the ground beneath the gravel wasn't a little softer. Would highly recommend the site for visiting Chester, Liverpool and Manchester and all the North West has to offer.
We have just recently returned to Northern Ireland after another great stay in the top class Chester Fairoaks Caravan Club site in our Motorhome. Sites are a very generous size and well maintained.
The site is excellently situated for the Holyhead-Dublin Ferry and is the perfect place for a few days relaxation before returning home,
The site is friendly,expertly maintained and has top class toilet/washing & showering facilities. Staff are very friendly & helpful.
With the Chester Oaks centre nearby there are plenty of good value shopping opportunities. Buses also leave the centre regularly for the short trips to Liverpool & Chester-both well worth a visit.
Also within a few minutes walk are 3 Pubs/Restaurants which are great value for families/couples.
All in all a FIRST CLASS SITE!
We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of June and found it to be a lovely spacious site with a particularly good shower block. The wardens were friendly and helpful; the site was beautifully kept. It is however, quite close to the A5117 and the motorway. We were aware of a constant hum of road noise and at times felt hemmed in by traffic. A 5 minute walk along a fairly busy road, without a footpath, took us to The Rake which is a good family friendly pub with a large garden. The bus into Chester, also stopping at the zoo, was a 10 to 15 minute walk away. There is a very nice walk into Chester along the towpath - about 7 miles.
Excellent site. Location very good. Plenty of places to eat and shop. Immaculate toilets and showers. Spacious pitches with good layout. Can't wait to return.
