Estuary Glimpses
We arrived with some trepidation, having read several recent negative reviews relating to staff attitude. However, the lady warden who greeted us couldn't have been more pleasant and readily offered information and guidance. The only male warden we came across was also cheerful and friendly too. Very few pitches actually have a clear estuary view due to the tree cover. Further, many pitches are not long enough to be able to get very far back from the site road. We selected a pitch in a cul-de-sac, which was large, level and gravelled. It enjoyed 'estuary glimpses' and there plenty of room around the van and between us and our neighbours. The approach to the site is along a narrow lane passing by a static van site but its impact was only visual. It couldn't be seen once on site. It is well placed for enjoying the Wirral peninsular, with easy access to the country park and a walking and cycle track. Getting to Liverpool was really easy too with access from the Seacombe ferry terminal, where there is a free car park or by train from Hoylake, which also enjoys a free car park. Many of Liverpool's main attractions are also free to enter. We have 3 main misgivings about the site. First, the toilet block, whilst kept very well by the wardens, is small, cramped and has a poor layout. However, there was always plenty of hot water. The second is that there isn't a fence round much of the site and little to stop anyone entering from the lane. Finally, there is only 1 chemical emptying point (at the toilet block) and it is quite a trek from some parts of the site. Having said all that, we had a great time and would go back.
