We booked two nights at Birch Hill as the site was near to Ellesmere, and was on our route back from a stay in the Cotswolds.
The booking process was very easy, and we were supplied with a very informative email from owners, Ian and Janet, detailing the directions, check in procedure, facilities and information about their CL website. There was also plenty of information about the local area.
The directions to the site were excellent, and there was plenty of signage on the roadside indicating where they are located, in fact they are the best we have seen. The driveway was easily navigated with our 'van, and although single track, there is great visibility and the entrance road had beautifully manicured grass shoulders and hedges.
Being warmly welcomed by Ian at check in, we were given a comprehensive explanation of the site facilities, and local area. He is passionate about being environmentally responsible, and pointed out the different recycling bins and insists on green toilet chemicals, which he has available for purchase.
Our pitch was on hardstanding with an electric point, with plenty of room for our 'van.
Ian provided a local information pack which we used and have kept for future visits which gave us an in depth view of the local area, and was very useful. He also gave us his personal recommendations for restaurants in Ellesmere which we gladly used.
The site is situated in a very picturesque area of Shropshire, in between fields with sheep and cattle, overlooking several counties. A quiet and peaceful heaven!
I recommend Birch Hill and will be hoping to book a longer stay in the near future.
Delightful location
We stayed at this location two nights and have no complaints. The host was very helpful and knowledgeable. Our stay was enhanced by taking up suggested places to visit. It’s clear they take great pride in their site and keeping it to a high standard. If in the area I would definitely return. Thank you x
Fabulous 3 nights
Just had 3 delightful nights at Birch Hill. Hosts extremely welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable and passionate about the local area. Gave us some great tips and suggestions on places to eat, visit and so glad they recommended the local butchers! Site is so peaceful and quiet with lovely views, spotless and easy to use facilities.
Can very highly recommend this place and hope to be back sometime.
Great location and hosts
Stayed 4 nights at the site August 2024, hosts were really helpful and welcoming. The site is very quiet and is set in stunning countryside. Lots to see and do nearby, especially if you are in the NT.
Will definitely be revisiting in the future.
A really super CL
A retired couple, we visited Birch Hill, in our caravan, for a week, July 2024. Having received the very useful information pack, prior to arrival, we were aware of the facilities on the site and attractions in the local area. Ian, the owner, greeted us on arrival and showed us the availability pitches, which are large and each with its own fresh water tap, grey water being drained into the hedge, in other words a fully serviced pitch. As described in the information pack, the local butcher and deli in Ellesmere are well worth a visit especially for the ‘burger bombs’ and the local pork pies topped with cheese, delicious! We cannot recommend this CL more highly, it is a credit to the owners and well worth visiting.
Lovely site
A great CL for our 1st trip to Shropshire, peaceful and with great views, plenty of information make this a fabulous site to explore the region. Would recommend this site

Excellent CL
This is a lovely site, very spacious with water taps for each unit.
The owners are very welcoming and helpful.
The site app is very useful for local info.
Great location for visiting local sites etc.
A lovely spot!
Good pre arrival communication, possibly slightly too much for us but I understand that some people may disregard some information.
The site app is very useful, we read it beforehand so didn’t really need the owners briefing on arrival but again, I understand that some people might not read information for one reason or another.
It was nice to be met & welcomed personally.
The site is beautifully managed & maintained. Your own dedicated tap, two Elsan points & many places to choose to pitch.
Lovely surroundings, the area is interesting & there’s lots to do & see along with cycling & walking if that’s your thing.
All in all a cracking site & a great stay, thank you.
Excellent CL
I wish all CL’s were run like this. Everything well thought through and implemented on this site.
Beautiful location with views of several counties on a clear day. Excellent reception from the friendly owner and we had plenty of choice of pitch as only two others on site during our two day, mid week visit.
The site is very quiet and facilities on hand and very well looked after. All run with - (dare I say it) military precision.
Well done to the owners, it’s a credit to you.

Great site, friendly owner.
We (my wife and I), love cycling with our E-tandem and this site is so convenient for access to some of the finest cycling countryside with miles of quiet lanes. As well as that, the site is lovely and quiet with loads of space. Well recommended.
