Very Disappointed

We have visited this site many times over the years, it has always been a favourite, not just because of it’s fabulous location but also because it was extremely tidy and well looked after. However on arrival this year we were bitterly disappointed to see how run down and unkept the site looked. We have to agree with the previous review about the weeds on the pitches and fauna growing unchecked. The area furthest from reception looked awful! Most of the pitches are also in dire need of more gravel. During our week there we didn’t see anyone cutting the grass or maintaining the site apart from the plants at reception getting watered. We can’t comment on the facilities block because we didn’t use them. A very good site ruined due to lack of maintenance.

Enjoyable but flawed

This was the third time I've been to this site. The location is easy to get to. There is a large shopping complex less than a mile away including Sainbury's and M&S and good bus links to Chester and Liverpool. There is also an extensive map of cycleways to Chester, Ellesmere Port and The Wirral which I have enjoyed in the past. The site staff were as usual, pleasant , friendly and helpful. The facilities block, as expected, is kept clean This time of year we pay a premium rate and unfortunately we are not getting a first class site. The pitches are a disgrace with weeds and other fauna growing seemingly unchecked amongst the hard standings. In the four days I spent there no-one appeared to be making any effort to raise the overall shabby appearance of the site Also while the facilities block was kept clean, the showers themselves had varying power outputs and it took me two days to find one where the water came out at more than a trickle. I had also forgotten that the laundry machines only accepted tokens (introduced during covid) and so when i went to use them early in the moring i was unable to do so and would have had to wait until the staff were available after 9am. But no mention was made of this either on arrival or through the information sheet. And it is also disappointing to notice there are no longer any bins around the site ane everyone has to use a central bin close to the exit. Other club sites have done this for some time so one shouldn't be surprised. But it feels as if the club is offering less yet keeps increasing its prices. This site has much to offer and is in a superb location but it is in dire need of refurbishment

Rubbish WiFi

I have stayed at this site twice this year, and the WiFi has changed. The first time needed a log in, the second time I had to pay, a £3 daily charge, so I paid my daily charge and NEVER got connected to the WiFi. Apart from that I had a lovely stay, it was quiet and peaceful and I’m disabled, the staff were very helpful, without being pushy, nothing was too much trouble for them. I went to Chester zoo and didn’t realise how big it was, I didn’t see it all, so I shall be returning to this site in 2023 to finish the zoo.

Don't bother

Recently spent a night here while in transit. Location is good next to motorway, site pleasant and peaceful. However this was the most expensive night of a two week touring trip which was hard to justify as site and facilities were average. The main problem was the wardens, check in when I was eventually served was a lecture of what not to do on the site, the warden had obviously given the lecture many times and it delivered without eye contact. This was after having to wait to check in while several customers who entered reception after us were served with staff taking money for ice cream and lollies. Overall were made to feel we were interrupting whatever the wardens wanted to be doing rather than serving us, for clarity this was about 1.30pm with check insurance from one. Certainly won't be back.

Lovely few nights, handy for outlet centre and Chester

Lovely site, clean facilities. Small dog walk where you can let them off lead. 30 min walk down main road to a large woodland for good walks. Main road is very very busy, worth crossing by the crossing just before the entrance road to site. Chester fairoaks shopping centre is a 15 min walk and you can get busses there to xoo or to Chester etc. Pub that does food 5 min walk from site. Fish and chip van was on site. Chester bus station was about 30 min ride from Chester Fairoaks.we walked around the city walls. Nice site very close to motorways

Thanks to my fellow members

Thanks to my fellow member who left a bag of dog poo on my pitch last night. Thanks to the gents who for several days now can’t be bothered to use a toilet brush. This is a fabulous site kept in immaculate condition by friendly wardens. I despair at the lazy idiots who spoil their hard work.

Lovely site but a lot of noise from nearby roads. Fabulous pub The Rake (just down the road).

Absolutely brilliant

Having escaped the busy Lake District, it was such a pleasure arriving at this site! The staff were lovely, the facilities impeccable and the location great! We bussed it into Chester one day and Liverpool the next! There is a pub which serves great food 5 minutes away and a designer shopping complex (biggest in UK I think) which has everything anyone could want including dozens of eateries. We would not hesitate in returning 5 stars

Delightful site and staff

We were greeted by two friendly and welcoming wardens. The site was immaculately maintained with spotless facilities. Our pitch was level and a generous size. Plenty to see and do nearby including the city of Chester, Port Sunlight village, Liverpool and Chester Oaks (the latter being in walking distance). Would happily recommend this site and will certainly use it again.

Lovely site

Once you turn of the main road and enter site, it is a lovely site which makes you forget your just a stones throw from a big retail park. Good pitches and nicely kept greenery. Good secure dog area. Would recommend the Rake Hall pub/restaurant next door, nice setting and nice food. Also many other restaurants over by the retail park. Good location for Chester, delamere Forest etc. would highly recommended this site.
