This is a typical Caravan Club site with large hardstanding pitches. The warden, as previously mentioned was very welcoming even if the weather wasn't! There had been a lot of rain in previous days and quite a number of the pitches were flooded.
This is NOT a cheap site, even mid-week in September (not school holidays)we paid over £25 a night and that was the club members price.
The facilities were the normal Caravan Club high standard.
One thing to mention, which no-one else seems to have done, is that the site lies under the flight path of Liverpool airport and the first flight in the morning is about 5. 45am. Flights go on well into the evening. The site is also very close to the M56 and there is 24/7 road noise which rather spoilt our stay.
Within walking distance of the site are three pubs which all serve meals, the closest one (the Rake)gives discount to club members.
Sadly, even though there is a lot to do in the area, because of the noise I don't think we will be back.
We used this site as a stop off on our journey up to Scotland and on arriving we had what I consider to be the friendliest ever greeting form a C&MC warden. She was so cheerful and helpful that we immediately felt at home. On her recommendation we decided to buy a bag of chips from the visiting fish and chip van and they were wonderful.
Sadly, not everyone on site was as friendly, as there was a 'falling out' which necessitated a police presence. Never before have we witnessed anything like that and it took four officers to try and sort the problem out, with apparently further disturbance going on into late evening and there was an uncomfortable atmosphere all the time.
We felt really sorry for the wardens who had to suffer the stress of it all, as it was just the two of them in charge for the night.
There were a lot of 'vans moving pitches in the morning trying to get away for the trouble-makers but thankfully we were only there for one night.
Hopefully such an incident won't ever occur again, but it certainly took the shine off our stay and would think long and hard about revisiting.
This was the second time we have visited this site and since our last visit when I met Jonny Vegas, the toilet block has had a revamp and its a very good one to. Our stay was for five nights and we had good weather thankfully. We had our 8 yr old grandaughter with us who enjoyed the play area and the trips out into North Wales. We also took her to Port Sunlight and the Lady Leaver art gallery, free entrance, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
We gave the Zoo and Blue Planet a miss because we have have been on a few occasions to both which are close by, Blue Planet within walking distance from the site.
The zoo is not that far and is also the location for the park and ride into Chester which I recommend using. You can't use your consessonary bus pass on this service but the charge is very reasonable with free parking. There are also discounts for quite a few things in the area, for CC members.
There are three pubs close to the site which do meals.
The Rake is closest and do reasonable meals but the service can be slow and dreadful. One of our meals came with no implements, I. E. Knife and fork to eat with! Its OK at quiet times but when busy the staff have just too much to do.
The Stanney Oaks was the next closest but we only spent less than 15 minutes there because we thought it was wheel them in wheel them out sort of place. We where asked three times, I kid you not, in less than five minutes if we where ready to order. The first time we hadn't sat down proper or looked at the menu so we left for the pub down the road, the Old Hall Farm, where we got great service and a cracking Carvery at a good price. The children's menu is also very good and once you order the children's menu, they will tell you when its coming so you can go for your carvery and eat at the same time. Unless your a big eater, don't get the large one, its big.
So, is Chester Fairoaks site worth a visit, yes as its very close to the motorway and a good base for the Wirral, North Wales and the surrounding area and the usual CC standard. We don't like the retail site, its a much ado about nothing and a lot of the same but its not far if that's your thing.
This lovely site has a very slight slope but pitches are mainly level, as with all Caravan Club sites it is immaculately kept and spotlessly clean.
There is a small grassed tent area, with room for 4 tents, all other pitches are hardstanding with enough room for caravan, awning and car.
The site is close to the motorway network, therefore very easy to access, however this has its downside, there is some traffic noise, a bit of a permanent low hum, but I imagine this noise will be less during the summer months when the trees on the site perimeter are covered in leaves.
The ablutions block has been recently refurbished, and has ample large shower cubicles, privacy cubicles and toilets along with disabled facilities. The building also houses the laundry room and dishwashing room.
There is a central, adventure type play area which looked very good, but having no children with us, can't really comment.
Cheshire Oaks Outlet is a 10 minute walk from the site, good for shopaholics, with discount big brand shops galore. Also close by is The Blue Planet Aquarium, we spent the best part of a day in there, and thought it was good value, the food, however, is quite expensive. Chester Zoo is about 2 miles away from the site, and a good day out, if a little costly.
There are 3 pubs within easy walking distance of the site, but beware, the road out of the site has no footpath but is well lit, The Rake (part of the Hungry Horse chain) is the closest, just out of the site gates, the food is good value, but the service and cleanliness leave something to be desired, the next closest, The Stanney Oaks (a Harvester) is lovely and clean with pleasant staff, a little further down the road is Old Hall Farm (a Marstons pub) again clean and pleasant, but no customers at 9. 45 on a Friday evening? Both of these establishments require crossing a fairly busy main road so, again, care required.
Chester is close by (about 6 miles) with plenty of large stores and the Rows shopping. You can walk round the city walls, visit the amphitheatre and the castle. The best way is to catch the Park and Ride from just outside the Zoo, free parking and £2 per person for the bus ride, so much less hassle than trying to park in the city centre.
All in all, a lovely site and thoroughly recommended.
Just had a lovely few days at this site. The facilities were always clean. It's about a 10-15 mins walk to Cheshire Oaks. There is also easy access to the city and North Wales. You do hear the traffic from the motorway, but it didn't worry me.
For me, the only bad point was that the facilities block has the radio playing all the time. Lovely extra touch during the day but when you nip to the loo at 3am, I really didn't want to hear the radio. I'm glad my pitch was not one of the pitches close to the facilities block because at night you could hear the radio outside, although faintly but anyone who is a light sleeper or perhaps leaves the window open may hear it. I wonder how much the CC spends on the necessary licences to play the radio? I would question whether it adds any value and is it good use of our fee. I would return to the site.
Just stayed as an overnight stopover on way to Oxford. The site has been recently upgraded and is a lovely site with excellent facilities. Site is well placed for visiting, Cheshire Oaks Retail Park, Chester, Liverpool or North Wales. There are also 2 or 3 pubs within short walking distance. We will certainly visit again for two or 3 days to visit Chester and Cheshire Oaks.
My only minor criticism would be that we had a problem with our electrics and the wardens were the only unhelpful wardens we have encountered on any camp site never mind Caravan Club sites.
We stayed on this site for two nights on our way to Wales. It was a very enjoyable experience with a friendly welcome and choice of plot left up to us. We had a large flat plot and of course the facilities were up to the usual very high Caravan Club standards. We got a bus into Chester and had a wonderful day there. We took the bus trip round Chester and then watched some of the racing at Chester Race Course. It was ladies day so the atmosphere in Chester was electric. A very enjoyable stay and we would definitely use this site again.
Just back from a wonderful weekend away at this site. I would highly recommend anyone to come here, it is very clean and very well laid out, booking in was easy as there is a layby just before reception where you can park up, the wardens in reception were lovely and very helpful. Finding a pitch was easy as its just a loop with about 100 touring pitches and a few tent pitches, all were level and easy to see markers. In the middle of the loop are the toilets/showers which were immaculate with plenty of hot water. And a small children's play area which was enough for my two children ages 13 and 10. It is a very quiet site considering it is not far from the motorway, which made it an idea spot for us. There is also a dog walking area just before the reception. Just out of the site to the right is the Rake pub (hungry horse) which was lovely. We will definitely be returning to this site.
