I can only endorse previous comments that the site was a pleasure to stay at. Easy booking on line comprehensive information received about the area which was welcome as we have nit stayed in the area before. Compassion shown for my disabled wife by the owners when selecting a pitch. The site was well indicated on the main road which was appreciated. Would not hesitate to stay at the site again and represents all that is good with a CL site well done
Wonderful site with great choice of where to pitch - decisions, decisions. Lots to see in the area. Very lucky to have hot air balloons over us in the first night and beautiful sunsets every evening during our stay. Must go back again and visit all the places we didn't have time to fit in - great welcome pack with loads of useful information and tips of where to go.
Our stay this August at Birchills Farm CL was fabulous. Our hosts were brilliant and the setting magnificent. This site deserves to win the best in CL. The attention to detail in terms of information and welcome is the best I have ever seen. The pitches were enormous and with plenty of choice in terms of where the electrical hook ups were sited and grass kept short but lush. We will certainly visit again when in Shropshire. The CL is so well placed for exploring The Llangollen Canal and surrounding area which boasts some of the best views going. To explore the heritage sites of Thomas Telford's Aqueducts and Canal infrastructure, this CL proved the perfect pitch. Ellesmere is a delightful town well placed for exploring the beautiful County Shropshire and beyond into the welsh hills.
Janet and Ian were super hosts and nothing was to much trouble. It was so obvious that being Motorhomers themselves they knew exactly what is required to make a first rate CL.
This is a lovely site, you are made most welcome, a talk on arrival was very helpful giving you a lot of information. The site we chose was near the house on a mesh covered with grass such a bonus after all the rain we have had. We parked our motorhome in Tesco s did a lovely walk by the canal, the following day we walked round the mere s. Good wifi. Will definitely stay again especially in autumn where the colours will be lovely, Trisha
This site was very easy to find and the entrance is wide and a long tarmac drive. After a very thorough introduction and a booklet on what's what, emergency numbers and a huge bundle of leaflets, we pitched in the lower field just inside the entrance as it was the nearest to the water etc. Lovely and flat so didn't take much to level our van with plenty of space. We had good weather during our stay except for very heavy rain during the night on a few occasions and rain most of one day only. Very surprised how well drained the pitches are so it never got wet or muddy underfoot. Ian did say he had put good drainage in which showed he had.
The Mere which isn't far away is a nice place to visit with its coffee shop and restaurant and we also enjoyed visiting the town itself with its shops and small indoor market once a week. We went to Chester as my husband's sister lives there and is a very interesting and amazing place to walk round and also Wrexham where we visited our nephew. Oswestry is bigger than we thought and we enjoyed and also the little town of Whitchurch where you must visit a cafe called The Little Tea Pot. Very quirky and eclectic where we enjoyed a light lunch. We had dinner once at the Red Lion in Ellesmere but didn't enjoy and Sunday lunch at the Trotting Mare just done the road from the site (take a right onto the main road of the site and about a mile or so on the left).
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Birch Hill and would recommend it.
Just spent 2 nights here. Very nice site. The owners were on holiday at the time so Mrs Kellys' parents were manning the fort.
We had a nice welcome and were provided with 'welcome packs', listing local amenities and attractions. We were shown and had a choice of pitches. We chose the one nearest the house on the top field. Very peaceful. We will return as it is just over a hour away from home. Ideal for the local towns, as well as a few nice walks along the canals.
The high lite of the weekend was a air balloon landing in the adjacent field. About 15 people on a jolly, stood in the balloon waiting for permission from the owners to be able to get out and onto their land. All good fun.
We spent a week at Birch Hill early in June 2017 in the middle of a heatwave - we pitched on the top most area where the breeze was welcome. Apart from seasonal noise from tractors harvesting in the adjacent field and a later visit by a manure spreading team the peace and quiet on the site and the views over the countryside were impressive. The Kelly family were welcoming and helpful - free Wifi was appreciated as was the Welcome pack of information - we did recycle as much as possible but would have liked the use of a "compost" bin for vegetable waste.
It is a lovely site and we would recommend it as a quiet and pleasant place to stay.
We have stayed at this CL on a number of occasions now and can thoroughly recommend it.
The site itself is spotless and well maintained by Ian and Janet who run it brilliantly offering advice and information with regard to their lovely CL and also visits to the meres and canal walks which are within a mile or two of the caravan site (Ian has even put together an information pack which includes everything you are ever likely to need to know about the area!)
The free WIFI is an added boon and we have never experienced any problems with either this or the TV reception.
You get all this at a fantastic current price of £12 a night, which is nigh impossible to beat!
We'll definitely be returning soon!
Excellent CL well run and managed, the hosts were informative, friendly and helpful making our stay even more enjoyable and views are fantastic, the site is accredit to the family. We shall certainly return in the near future.
Fantastic Location, Hosts are Ian & Janet, and they are brilliant at what they do, very organised, spotless CL, fantastic countryside, open fields loads of space, great dog walks. Looking forward to the next time..... Thanks Adrian
