Birch Hill
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!
Weekend Break
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.

Perfect CL.
Our second visit to Birch Hill after some five year interval. The site, surroundings and reception are highly recommended. Excellent value considering the free wifi , Caravan Club please note. We shall not wait such a long time before returning.

What a find
We booked on the Thursday as we realised that the following two weekends I was working and we both really needed a break in a quiet location. The site and the owners were absolutely to notch. We were welcomed by a family member as Ian was tied up and Helen helped us to our spot and we chose the lower field. Our daughter has been frightened of dogs but Helen was fantastic in taking Daisi Anne for a walk with Honey and she now cannot wait to go back.
The location is perfect for those wishing to get away and the 'Dingle' walk was lovely to do even to see a Bird Hide for those wishing to find even more peace!
We will be returning many times in the future even though we only live 40mins away it truly is home from home.
Thanks
Fantastic
I have just returned home after 4 nights at Birch Hill as I wanted to try out my new longer van.
I needed easy access which this site has. It's also well signed from the main road.
There is plenty of room between vans- on hard standing or grass with lovely views.
I was very pleased to have the free internet, as I had a problem getting my water pump to work. So after a call to Whale they directed me to U tube where I was shown how to Calibrate my IC unit- which was all Double Dutch to me up until then.!!! All sorted. We had running water.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this site.
Recharges our batteries
We have visited Birch Hill before and with the beautiful tranquil location, a warm welcome and an immaculate site, this was the obvious choice for our first trip out after the winter.
The site is well signposted and is easily accessed from a minor road out of Ellesmere. Ian and Janet did all in their power to make our visit an enjoyable one, providing a pack of information about local places to visit and/or eat out. Pocket maps of walks within easy reach of the house are available for a small charge. The far reaching views are a joy.
It is so dark at night! We live on the edge of a small town, but the light pollution obscures the night sky. Here, we were able to get out the binoculars and look for constellations and enjoy a little satellite spotting. This would be a great place to come in August to see the Perseid shower!
Children and dogs are welcome and the two Golden Retrievers, Honey and Amber are very friendly.
The Wi-Fi works reliably and has a strong signal and so is incredibly useful.
If you want a long or short break away, in beautiful surroundings, with the benefits of a small market town nearby, and an interesting industrial heritage on the doorstep, then you might find it to be just the place to recharge your batteries
Great location
We've just spent six nights here and would have loved to stay longer. We thought the welcome and briefing on arrival was an excellent idea. None of that wondering which pitch to take or all those other things we wonder about on CL sites.....Should we just park up? Should we knock on the door? Should we go and pay now? Etc etc.
The price of £12 per night is great value for money and the WiFi works a treat. The resident dogs are really friendly and our dogs didn't mind them at all. Just a word of warning... the older dog can unzip an awning so make sure you don't leave any dog food inside!
All in all a first class CL site.

Lovely site - looking forward to a return visit!
Easy access even for a large twin axle caravan, with numerous spacious pitches to choose from, all with 16 amp electricity. We discovered there was free WiFi which was an unexpected bonus – no problem picking up a signal. Lovely views and quiet – just right for a relaxing break. Local bakery in Ellesmere recommended as is Stan’s supermarket. Good to support local shops. Extremely pleasant owners and will certainly visit again.
