Park in Chester

“Beautiful park garden with eco friendly play areas. Old man who drives mini train was so friendly nice person. He made sure everyone enjoyed who ridden the train.”

“Great gym and facilities. A big shout out to Ann who always makes sure the swimming facilities/ changing rooms are spotless, makes a difference going to somewhere that is clearly being looked after to a high standard. Highly recommended.”

“What a beautiful site so many trees and a beautiful garden which is very well maintained. Mobile home we stayed in was excellent, everything was really clean and tidy. Did not expect to find this in the middle of Chester.”

“Fantastic place for a walk , and free parking.”

“Great for younger children. Animals are obviously well cared for (although lots of caged birds and ducks some people may not like). Reasonably priced entry with lots of opportunities to pet and feed the animals. 3 members of staff actively stopped to talk to us about the animals they were caring for which was nice. Wide variety of animals including a Barn owl, ferrets, pigs, sheep, goats, alpacas, canaries, donkeys, hens, peacocks and (rescued) parrots. 2 good playgrounds and a small indoor soft play. The food in the cafe was OK. Menu catered well for dietary requirements. No picnics allowed FYI. We were there for 4 hours including food and feeding the lambs so all in all a good day out.”

“Went in not expecting to get the items I wanted l, but I was pleasantly surprised they had it. The guy who served me was very helpful with his knowledge and expertise. And made a few suggestions to make the job better. Even opened the item to show me how it was to be used. A credit to the shop. Well done.”

“The boy's 6th birthday. Loads to do and they all had tons of fun. The staff were really good and friendly. The manager/chef in the cafe was super helpful and a credit to the business. Nice coffee also. It was cold sitting around but that was an advantage to the kids jumping and running around. So wrap up if you're sat waiting for the kids. Nice for parties as they have little private party rooms. Recommended as it was a good all-around experience with loads to keep them occupied.”

“Good quality accommodation at a reasonable price. The YHA has a fab recreation room, a communal kitchen, a canteen (serving a 10/10 full English/ continental breakfast) and a onside restaurant. Its also set in the most beautiful grounds around 12-15 minutes drive from Chester.”

“Brilliant team especially Pete and Matt who helped with our order. Didn't feel hounded at all, came in twice on 2 separate weekends and Pete remembered us which was nice! Everything was explained and we were guided to different models depending on our needs. Pete had great knowledge of each range and was really patient as we changed our minds a lot! Definitely recommend!”

“Recently had a hernia operation. The level of care from admission to discharge was first class. I couldn’t recommend this hospital enough. Absolutely brilliant. Nurses, ward staff, consultants were all exceptional. Thankyou”

“A small car park, leads to a good size park. It is dog friendly. With a lovely climbing frame for children. It has a pretty lake with ducks. A good size walk area for dogs on paths and grass areas. Also seating around and nice grass areas for picnics. Could do with a few more bins. Also a good walkway for cycling around. Saw lots of bikers and dogs while we were there. Will definitely come again.”

“We go here for the self dog wash. It’s mega. A “jet wash” style vending machine with everything you need, shampoo, conditioner, towels and aprons provided. My Rottie loves having a shower here. We don’t go anywhere else.”

“Great selection of garden pond plants and supplies. Lovely staff very helpful”

“We came here for a surprise birthday celebration weekend and could not have asked for a better setting. The lodge was beautiful and exceeded my expectations, it was spacious, immaculate and had all the amenities required for the stay. The location was stunning coupled with the hot tub made for the perfect getaway. The available activities at the nearby Wild Shore make a fantastic addition for both couples and families who want to experience something different. We'd definitely book here again and with the addition of the lodges being dog friendly, makes it all the more exceptional.”

“Friendly helpful staff and a great range of products”

“Great for us gaming artists! Having a Geek Retreat upstairs is such a bonus. It would be nice to see a wider range of games but it's an exciting start :)”

“Brilliant value for visiting the Christmas markets in Chester. Room was spotless, breakfast was delicious and service was spot on. A shout out to Anthony who was very friendly and helpful.”

“Great playground with water splash area on the river. Picnic tables and benches. Plenty of areas for sun and shade. Good clean toilets. Clever duck feed dispensing machine to feed ducks. Well worth a visit.”

“It was a fun day out for the kids. They have rowing, pedal and motor boats. One can ride for 30 mins. We have to time our rides. A deposit was taken and duly returned as soon as the boat was returned.”

“Good boots with a good selection of items available. Staff ate helpful and will recommend similar products if what you need is not in stock.”

“Food was excellent as always. Went there with some of our friends celebrating their sons birthday. I asked the staff for a cake and candle as a surprise. They came promptly with the cake and sang happy birthday to him, didn't even charge for the cake. Thank you to everyone at Nandos, we had a great time.”

“What's not to love about The Range?! Great Halloween and Christmas sections. Very friendly staff. Lovely huge shop filled with just about everything!”

“Can’t fault it! They allowed us to check our bags early, the room was big and clean and the bar area was lovely, newly renovated and styled well and comfortable. Most of all the service by all staff was excellent! Especially Tommy, he was so friendly and represented the company well!”

“Great little hidden secret right by the 2nd biggest attraction in the UK. The park has just undergone an expansion and currently waiting to flourish, don't expect to see lots of wildlife you need to have patience but there is a Hide to wait out and see if you can spot otters, kingfishers or what ever nature throws at you. Once the plots and park mature this will be a haven for wildlife. 5* because it's beautiful and quiet, nice for a picnic but if you have young kids like me maybe the zoo would be a better place for you. If you want peace and reflect or want to photograph wildlife and flowers this is the place. #getoutdoors”

“Easy to pay, good value and good location! Would use again.”

“I really love that this has been preserved and blends in so well with the modern apartments around it. The shot sculpture is a great touch”

“We have been coming to Chester lakes from the very start when you used to drive to your peg/camping spot. We have seen so many changes and not all for the better unfortunately. The fishing is great. Charlie and Mark are so kind and really do go above and beyond for visitors. Unfortunately camping has been limited to 4 pitches. No campervans which is sad as we used to love coming in our campervan to the woodlands. We looked into buying a caravan and leasing a pitch but was shocked at how much the owner wants. Starting at £2750 for the part where you're very close to other vans to £4000 near lake. Fees do not inc electricity and you cannot rent your van to help cover the fees. Our friends have a caravan in Barmouth with swimming pool, entertainment and beach next to site with electricity/water inc and they pay 3500 a year and can rent out. I think the rates here should inc electricity and fishing for these fees. We've had so many beautiful memories here and we're sad they'll be no campervan trips here anymore. Common wood is going to benefit massively regarding the changes Chester lakes has made reading the reviews. Real shame”

“Never been here before and had a great experience, service was fabulous, the waiter and waitresses were very attentive and friendly. Food came out to us quickly, hot and there was a great selection of what to eat. Food was lovely and can’t recommend enough!”

“I would like thank both Emily Clegg and Amanda Jones for their assistance today with my they went out of their way to help”

“Visited today a lovely gentleman helped me cutting some wood for shelves and then another lovely gentleman helped me get my Christmas tree in my car. Couldn’t ask for better service. I don’t catch their names but thank you. You are an asset to the store”
