Convenient

This site is very convenient for the Massive retail outlet Cheshire Oaks, just a 10 minute walk away. The site is clean level and very peaceful, surrounded by trees. Facilities are up to Caravan Club Standards, very clean and warm. The worst thing is the WIFI it is just a bit better than useless, which is a shame, very very very slow to load a web page. This may not be important to most people but to some it is very important. The area is very nice and being close to Chester, or the towns on Wirral peninsula, you can't go wrong for places to visit. This would have been a 5 star review but the WIFI lets it down.

Peace and quiet

Arrived on Sunday just after lunch and welcomed by two smiling wardens. Good start to a break. Picked my own pitch and then had a drive round Chester finishing at the Grosvenor Garden Centre, all conveniently close. Regarding the site itself, its level, the toilets are spotless (and been upgraded since our last visit) and a chip van comes on Monday evenings (Huge portions, with hindsight one bag of chips would have done both of us). Lovely spot for local visiting - Chester, Colliseum (very enjoyable) Cheshire Oaks outlet (not as exciting as last time we visited) Llandudno in less than an hour and Blakemere Garden Centre (good food there, see trip advisor). Our only downside is getting out of Rake Lane turning right towards the motorway - may pay to turn left and go to the roundabout and then come back, but all in all, a great 4 night break.

Super Stay

Excellent facilities, beautifully kept, close to a wide variety of activities and places of interest. We spent seven nights enjoying the site and surrounding area, venturing to Llandudno, Liverpool, Ellesmere Port and Chester. Restaurant within five minutes walk from the site. Well worth a visit to this beautiful site.

Great Site with First Class Facilities

We visited the site and stayed for 3 nights. The facilities are excellent and well up to C C Club standards. It is a pity it is necessary to book in advance on Club sites these days and state the number of nights you wish to stay ( not like continental sites where you can stay as long as you like and pay on departure!). The site information states that tv reception is good, but we were unable to get any decent reception and no BBC at all! We noticed that those who were obviously aware of this had arrived with massive aerials!! So perhaps a change in the description in the booklet is needed. Otherwise the site lived up to expectation.

Immaculate site with great facilities & location

Immaculate site with excellent facilities (some of the best showers!) and great location for shopping and exploring Chester. We used the bus to Chester (stop 12 mins walk from site) and cycled into Chester too, 5 miles via back lanes and cycle paths so no need to use main roads. 10min walk to the designer outlet village - a shoppers paradise. Friendly efficient staff, new enclosed play area, newspapers and even croissants! A must visit site.

Motorway background noise, but not enough to stop you sleeping, so don't be put off.

great site in a great location

The site is well laid out and the wardens very helpful and friendly. The new toilet block is clean and showers much improved. Its the location of this site that makes it a gem. Chester (use the £2 return park and ride) has such interesting history and buildings and shops enough for any shopaholic and great places to eat! But don't forget just how much is within easy reach, from National Trust magnificent properties, English Heritage castles, Liverpool, Port Sunlight, north Wales, the aquaducts for canals and the Anderton Boat lift, lots of walks and cycle rides - there is just so much to do! oh, and of course there's the outlet mall for those of us that love a bargain.

Wonderful new toilet facilities lift site to another level

We have stayed at this site on 3 previous occasions and enjoyed each visit. We were pleasantly surprised with the improvements, especially in the toilet block, since our last site. The new toilets were easily the best that we have experienced-warm, bright, exceptionally clean and plenty of showers, toilets and cubicles for washing. The site itself was very welcoming and tidy and the wardens were extremely helpful and friendly, A great location with easy access to transport to visit Liverpool and Chester. The superb shopping facilities nearby catered for all tastes and pockets! There were also superb options for eating out once again catering for all pockets and tastes. Definitely one to return too!

Changes or Improvements??

Just returned from a week here. Have been coming regularly for over 20 years. Having heard of the work that had been done over winter we were keen to see what had happened and from reports expected improvements. Our verdict is that there have been changes (some good) but little improvement and some facilities are actually worse, The toilet block has been made more modern, but we cannot see why the there was a need to change gents and ladies sides. Blocking off the entrances from south side also means that you now have to walk all round the block to gain access. The new path to facilitate this means it is a scooter/bike paradise (at night). The entrance has been changed to make entrance into the site easier, but still if 2 vans arrive at the same time a car without a van cannot gain access through the barrier and has to wait. The water taps have now been positioned high off the ground. So most hoses used to fill aquarolls are too short. Also 3 of the Chem Points are one one side of the site. Only 1 on the North side. The pitches have been re-stoned but only with a top dressing so without proper weed cover underneath the weeds are now back showing. The road way around the site has had no work done so in wet weather there will still be huge areas of standing water. Children's Play area is now better and safer We will be going back again because of the convenience of the location but when it is supposed to be a 'prestige' site and the fees are so high with also a high occupancy rate it still leaves a lot to be desired.

Close to the shopping outlet

Stayed here for 5 nights, got a pitch close to the amenities which are first class. The site is easy to find and our arrival was straight forward with a friendly checkin. The site is close to the motorways so you do get a small amount of background vehicle hum but during the day we were out and in the evening we couldnt hear the hum,mso not a problem to us. The pitches are very level and a good size. We were told the tv reception was good but we no matter which we pinted our aerial we always had some issues, not bad just not great. Cheshire Oaks outlet is a 15 minute walk passing 3 very reasonably priced pubs on he way. We used the nearest, the Rake which did good priced and quality food and is only 5 minutes from the site. Chester or Liverpool are both close. We will be back.

We'll be back

This has to be one of the best sites we've stayed on. Good location for public transport to Chester and Liverpool, within easy walking distance of a Harvester and Hungry Horse pubs, massive Designer Outlet village and a short bus ride to Chester Zoo which is probably the best zoo in the country. Superb new toilet block and wardens were nice, helpful and friendly. Lastly it must be one of the most flat and level sites which is always a bonus. Fail to see what more you could need. We are not dog owners so I wish dog owners would stay at the dog walk end of the site because I'm fed up having to watch dogs doing their morning poop in front of us while we are having breakfast even if all or most of it is picked up by the owner, hence 4 stars for overall rating. And 4 for p&q due to some road noise.
