Why stay here ...

Want to visit Chester? Our beautifully-kept lawn site is only 6 miles away from Chester City Centre. We are situated in Dunham-on-the-Hill, which is a small, quiet, historic, conservation village. It's the perfect place to relax after a day's shopping at Cheshire Oaks Outlet Village or a visit to the Blue Planet Aquarium. Both are just 5 miles down the road.

If you love animals, Chester Zoo is a short drive away, as is the internationally renowned Shire Horse Centre and Country Park at Cotebrook. There's a convenient Park and Ride service from here. 

Buses run to and from Chester every half hour. There's a stop 50 yards from our site. Other local attractions include The Salt Museum, The Anderton Boat Lift and The National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port.

The famous Chester Rows, some of which date back to the 13th century, provide a unique shopping experience: there's nothing remotely similar to the Rows anywhere else in the world. To follow in older footsteps, the Roman Walls provide fantastic views of the Chester's Roman Amphitheatre, the Welsh Mountains, the River Dee, and the oldest racecourse in the country: the Roodee. This vibrant racing venue also hosts concerts, chariot racing on Chester Roman Day, and polo matches where you might be lucky enough to spot Prince William amongst the players.

Chester's medieval architectural jewel is the cathedral which dates from 1093 and contains beautiful examples of stained glass, mosaics, and medieval carvings. The cloisters from the original monastery are popular with tourists, as is the only surviving consistory court in the country which dates from the 1630s.

Our site is just 1.5 miles from junction 14 of the M56 which gives easy access to Liverpool, The Wirral, and North Wales. 

Liverpool's Albert Dock plays host to Tate Liverpool, Merseyside Maritime Museum and the International Slavery Museum.  If you're a slave to shopping, Liverpool One provides world class shopping and a wide choice of restaurants.

Port Sunlight, and the Lady Lever Art Gallery are in nearby Wirral. If you want to take the train to Liverpool or Wirral, the Merseyrail service runs every half an hour from Chester Railway Station.

North Wales is within easy reach from our site. Llandudno and Llangollen take about 45mins by car.

Please note: this site is 15 miles away from Warrington.

Very peaceful

Fairhaven
We have just returned from 2 nights and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The entrance is just off the main Chester road and does come up quite quickly. The site is a gently sloping area with very lush grass, you will need levelling blocks but it’s not too steep. 10amp electric wasn’t a problem for us, we managed fine. The site is just on the end of the village and is very quiet. The large trees do stop almost all the traffic noise from the main road. The top of the field pitch we were on was really nice, the sun set over the trees and we had no shade until quite late which was nice. A very quiet and well maintained site. We didn’t use the toilet or showers on site so can’t comment. This site is ideal for exploring Chester and further afield. Would recommend.

Okay for day trips

Short stay in July. In fact, it feels like you are staying in the back garden of the very kind and helpful Mr. and Mrs. Lyon. Fine if you plan excursions (to Chester or Liverpool). No seperate wc and shower (coins). It is up to the guests to keep it clean and so it was very dirty.

Nice but a little noisy

Fairhaven
I found it difficult to give an overall rating because I wanted to give it 3.5 but obviously that is not an option, 3 is too low but 4 is perhaps a bit generous as it is quite noisy. The location is lovely plus its great for visiting the local area and the horse is the next field is a great character. We struggled to level off because of the slope, probably down to the fact that our blocks sunk in the lovely lush grass, but its the noise that sticks in the mind (Noise from adjacent A56 Chester Rd). Perhaps its best for others to give it a go and see what they think as I certainly would not advise people to stay away - its too nice for that.

Lovely time

Fairhaven
We stayed here for 13 nights during the July 2018 heatwave.Beautiful site, well kept and very nice helpful owners.From this site we drove into Chester found free car parking,Liverpool, North Wales. We visited Delemere Forrest 10 miles away great walks need coins for car park. The toilet and shower an added bonus. Recycling on site. Information shed useful - maybe some more up to date information nearest Doctors,Hospital,etc Ate at the Hornsmill pricey but good quality food. A great find we will definitely be back

Back Again

Fairhaven
Take care at entrance because the new Club sign could easily be missed. The logo should be much bigger, sign is the same size as before but the new loco is difficult to see, having been before we new where it is. Mrs Lyons came out to us, and showed us our pitch. A lovely lawned site with beautiful flower beds. We once again enjoyed are stay, on this lovely cl.
