Why stay here ...

Our CL is in a deceptively rural location but convenient for motorway links for Cheshire, Wirral, Liverpool, North Wales and the ferry ports of Liverpool and Holyhead, Anglesey.

As a field site we offer spacious grassy pitches suitable for caravans and motor homes, electric hook ups and we are supported by solar energy. WiFi available and children are welcome. On the site we have assorted free range poultry and other animals. Subject to availability we have free range eggs.

The site is in easy reach of public footpaths and Cheshire cycleways, a bus route to Chester and Wirral and close to the Wirral Line Train network for access to Liverpool.

There is so much to see and do in the area and suggested tourist attractions include:-

  1. Chester - one of the best preserved walled cities in Britain - 10 minute drive, bus every 2 hours to central bus station.
  2. Chester Zoo - See the Peoples Zoo for a good day out - 10 minute drive.
  3. Blue Planet Aquarium - Next to Cheshire Oaks a good place to visit - 5 minute drive.
  4. Cheshire Oaks - Designer Outlet and Coliseum Shopping Park with Cinema, Tenpin and Restaurants - 5 minute drive or 15 minute cycle.
  5. North Wales - Only a stones throw away and plenty to do and see from beaches to mountains.

Wirral Wonder

Mill Cottage North
We have been coming to Wirral for 16 years usually march April, however weather conditions during the first 4 month with unprecedented amounts of rain resulted in all our usual CLs saturated and could not accept vans at all. Our last port of call was to Mill House Cottage CL situated on the A540 hoylake road a few hundred yards off a main M56 Junction. Chris and Hanna Giddins who have only been owners there for two years had the foresight to construct one hard standing pitch to see if it was viable with the view to constructing more in the future, This was the one pitch they had and let me have it, On arrival were met by them both and shown to the site field which was completely saturated except for the one hard standing , once onto the pitch , caravan nearly level no blocks req, Elec point, tap water and waste water run along side the van, chemical toilet 20 mtrs outside the entrance to the field. Once we were set up We moved our car back behind the van to prevent damage to grass land , Chris also provides full WIFi inclusive of the site fees of £18. Entry and exit to the site is straight forward if you approach from the M56 and exit towards the M56 There is traffic noise from the motorway and the A540 is a busy road. overall we were pleased with the site and would recommend it, we will definitely be coming back again

Lovely site to visit the areas of Chester and Wirral

Mill Cottage North
Very good welcome at this CL and easy to find using the directions in the club book. It is situated right on the A540, could be difficult to get in and out as it is a busy road. The Wifi was not working but we were invited to use the house one, until they got a replacement wifi extender after a few days. This site is right on the bus route which stops outside the CL with services to Chester and West Kirby. We took our bikes and explored some of the traffic free cycle routes on The Wirral by driving there and parking up. Some of the cycle routes are very popular on the Deeside of the Wirral

Friendly and welcoming site

Mill Cottage North
We have stayed here twice in April and May 2021 as we were house hunting in Chester. A friendly welcome on arrival coupled with much needed help as we tried to get around the workings of our motorhome that was new to us. We had been unable to check things out due to COVID-19. It is a bit noisy due to road noise and the various animals and chickens! Each pitch has its own supply of water and electricity and disposal for grey water. Turning out of the site entrance is not easy due to restricted visibility. Thank you to Phil and Joanna for all their help..

Really Want To Go Back

Mill Cottage North
Loved this place, greeted by Phil on arrival and I wanted to pay, he just said go and set up enjoy yourselves I'll see you over the weekend. Easy access to a flat level grass pitch with EHU and water. The site is easy access from the M56. Small holding farm with a variety of animals from sheep to alpacas and chickens running round. Sorry that Phil and Jo have sold up, I really hope the owners take it up and carry it on with the same customer care as Phil and Jo. Great friendly CL.
