Not for us

We arrived at the site after 4hrs delay but within our estimated arrival time, and was greeted by a terribly grumpy warden. Whilst trying to back our caravan into the pitch, she marched over, repeating pitch instructions even though we were clearly not finished parking. This greeting and rudeness immediately put us on edge and we felt uncomfortable and uneasy throughout our 3 night stay. Toilets and shower facilities are great and brilliant location for all local attractions. Pub serving food only 5minutes walk. The lighting on the site is very poor and felt quite unsafe at night. Not for us at all.

Another enjoyable stay

We have stayed at this site several times because of it's convenient proximity to several attractions. It is an easy walk to the Cheshire Oaks Shopping Centre including a multi-screen Vue Cinema and several restaurants; but the walk does include walking along a busy road with no footway, and crossing the busy main road, so care must be taken especially if walking with children. Chester and Liverpool are easily reached either by car or the bus stop near Cheshire Oaks. The caravan site always seems busy but pitches are well spaced out and we found the site peaceful and quiet. The background sound of the nearby motorway traffic is always there but did not bother us at all. The newly refurbished bathroom facilities are excellent. There are a number of eating places within walking distance or a short drive. The nearest was The Rake which is a Hungry Horse and always seems busy with lots of children running around, and the food is cheap. The Harvester is a little further to walk and is also busy but a higher quality. There are several more nice eating places at the Cheshire Oaks Shopping Centre. Overall another enjoyable stay at the excellent Caravan Club site.

Short Break

Came for a short break after a number of years since the last. Like the winding road layout and the superb toilet block upgrade. Perhaps a second block could be built for those very busy weekends. Great location for visits to Chester, lots of buses serving the city from the Cheshire Oaks shops.

Almost perfect

We enjoyed our late September week on this upgraded site, enhanced by the "Indian summer"! The toilet block is superb with a great feeling of space. One minor criticism is the distribution of chemical closet emptying points, pitches on the outer road between the excellent playground and site boundary have a long travel (inconvenient!). The wardens were cheerful, friendly and helpful. The motorway noise lost it's irritation fairly quickly, making our overall experience most enjoyable. Thanks to everyone.

worth a visit

we had wanted to stay at this site earlier in the year, only to find it was closed for major work. Having visited some years ago we knew it would be a great location, and on our recent visit that was confirmed. One disadvantage from a 'pedestrian' point of view, is the walk to/from the main road is on what can only be considered quite a dangerous and busy minor road, where there are no pavements, and crossing the main road to get to the shopping centre and bus stops is definitely somewhat dangerous. It is without doubt a great site, but we were disappointed in the somewhat inadequate facilities, firstly there were not enough WCs even in the Gents, and every morning there were queues, and the so called washing up area, with only 4 sinks for such a large site is hopelessly inadequate, not helped by the fact that only 3 of them are accessible at the same time. On the basis that often the washing up is done by a 'couple' then why on earth does the CC not think about the practicalities..there was so much room everywhere else, and a decent sized washing up area could easily have been included. Another matter not really thought through, was the distance it was necessary to walk to empty /fetch water, or to empty the Chemical Toilets. Yes the toilet block is, on the map, at least, in the centre of the site, but in reality from many pitches, it was a very long walk around the roadway to get there, especially when the main CEP was lost around the back of this. A little more thought in the planning progress would really have been beneficial. Regrettably it seems that those who design and plan such tings have little idea of the practical use of them! Such a pity, as the potential for the site is great.

Chester Fairoaks Revisited

After many previous stays at this site we wondered what they could do to improve this already good site. The improved hard standings were the first thing we noticed when we drove onto the site. The biggest improvement was the toilet/shower block, total transformation including piped Radio 2. The staff were, as always, helpful and friendly. As for comments about the noise, this is minimal and some should be expected for a location so close to a fantastic shopping outlet.

Two Day Stay

Arrived at the site to the lovely flower display at the site office and was met by the helpful wardens. We immediately became aware of the noise from the adjacent motorways and the noise never stopped day or night. There is no mention of this in the handbook. Having said the site has the best toilets block we have ever used with special mention to showers they were fantastic. Other sites should take note of this. The site is close to the Chester Fair Oaks Shopping centre and the Wirral. We dont think we will return but only because of the noise

Great Location

We have just enjoyed a short break at the site.  It is in a good location, close to the motorway with easy access to many visitor attractions, such as Chester, Liverpool and North Wales.   Chester Fairoaks Shopping Outlet is close by with many shops, restaurants and pubs to choose from, but does not detract from the site and is only a short walk away. There is a small amount of background noise from the motorway traffic, but nothing that spoils the enjoyment of the site.  The newly refurbished facilities are excellent and one of the best toilet and shower blocks seen.  The site is very well looked after and the planting and flowers around the reception area were beautiful.  The site wardens were vey friendly and helpful.  The children's play area looked to be new and some good equipment available. Public transport only a 10 minute walk from the site.  We will definitely visit again.
