Enjoyed our 3 night stay

A comprehensive, useful and warm welcome from Ian and we used the part hard standing which worked well for our 7.5m MH despite some heavy rain at night. The site is a good location for quiet peaceful bike rides and you can take the MH to big Tesco in Ellesmere where there is a nice selection of shops and pleasant walks along the canal. Would return when next touring in the lovely Shropshire area.

Another relaxing break at Birch Hill CL, Ellesmere

This was our 2nd visit but this time joined with our friends who, like us, thoroughly enjoyed the 2 weeks we spent at Birch Hill CL. Ian and Janet made us feel most welcome and we all appreciated the Covid safety policy measures which are in place to keep their guests safe. The site itself is very well signposted with good access. There is a choice of pitches each with 16 amp electric and free WiFi – we chose 2 with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Levelling blocks may be required as the site is on a slight slope – shouldn’t by a problem however. There was an abundance of wildlife whilst we were there and the site is in a quiet and peaceful location. Ellesemere is 1 mile from the site and has several shops and restaurants – we can recommend Asian Spice – and there are pleasant walks along the Llangollen Canal. Further afield are several National Trust properties that are certainly worth visiting. We have no hesitation in recommending Birch Hill CL and will certainly return when we’re next in the area.

Excellent well run high quality quiet CL in a beautiful part of Shropshire

We have stayed at Birch hill several times. Each trip has been excellent. The owners, Ian and Janet, are welcoming and friendly and operate a good covid safety policy. The site is immaculate, with EHU, grassed hard standings capable of supporting a 4 ton motorhome and loads of space. It is a quiet site, the only disturbance being when the owners dogs take a walk to survey the guests. A recent addtion are Glamping pods which are high quality. For those with teenagers the site wifi is great for browsing and email as well as FB and discord. The pre and post arrival information is first class, and the area is rich in walks, things to do and places to visit. Several take aways deliver to the site and they are all high quality, especially the Thai. For dog walkers the Dingle at the bottom of the field offers all dogs and owners a lovely litle escape from everything. You can walk along the road to Penley safely too. Local shops are brilliant as are the local pubs. Looking forward to our next visit.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

Very friendly welcome from Ian and Janet on arrival, including Amber, their very friendly dog. Ian gave us lots of ideas of places to visit, this was very helpful. We enjoyed this peaceful, scenic site. The town of Ellesmere has everything you need, the Mere and Canal was a very enjoyable walk. On our departure day we left early, this gave us chance to see the fantastic Sun Rise, wow, what a sight, well worth getting out of bed early to see. Thanks to Ian & Janet for a perfect sight.

The beauty of Shropshire captured in one site!

This was our very first site when we bought our motorhome back in Oct 2020. That stay was a bit wet and although we enjoyed ourselves we couldnt really appreciate the site and its surroundings at its best. Roll on to Aug 2022 and wow did we enjoy the great weather from the site as we basked in the sunshine. There were plenty of slots with both water and EHU and the chemical waste and recycling facilities were neatly tucked away in a corner. The slot we picked wasnt flat but it gave us the views we wanted and so with the use of ramps we made it work. During our first visit we didnt appreciate how close to the town the site is. Its a mile and has a pavement all the way and so is easy enough to get to and enjoy the Mere and the canal walk it can lead onto. We walked from the site all the way to Cole Mere via the canal and then back to the marina in ElseMere before walking back through town for a deserved drink at the Boarhouse Restaurant. Ian and Janet are very welcoming to their site and they provide a plethora of useful information for you so that you can make the most of your visit, We only stayed the weekend but we could have spent a week here if we had been able to. Being so close to Chester its definitley on our 'go to' list of sites for the future. Well done Ian and Janet!

Stunning Location with amazing views & made to feel really welcome by Ian & Janet

Birch Hill Farm will be our 'go to' place whenever we need a break away from it all. Both Ian and Janet made us feel so very welcome - they have a beautiful CL and the views are stunning. It was so peaceful and you can choose whichever pitch you want - superb. It was our first time away in our new caravan and we were very nervous but it all went to plan and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Ian also gave us plenty of leaflets of things to do around the area and gave us pointers of where we could eat that he recommended. We loved it that much we paid for an extra night (even though we couldn't use it as we had work the following day) just so we could stay until tea time on the Sunday - we felt completely relaxed by the time we went home and can't wait to return in the near future. Thoroughly recommend The Boat Inn at Erbistock - fantastic place for food and a drink overlooking the river. Local walk around Colemere was great too. A massive thanks to Ian and Janet

Great CL

We went to this site for the first time quite a few years ago and decided to return. It is a lovely site, very peaceful with great views, also neat and tidy with plenty of water taps. The “Dingle” dog walk was great, our Golden Retrievers enjoyed it and particularly enjoyed the shade when really sunny. The owners dogs were adorable and so well behaved. Unfortunately we had a crisis while on site and Janet was lovely and helpful. We will be back.

Restful break amidst stunning scenery!

We stayed 3 nights on this beautifully maintained and well appointed site. Ian greeted us personally and gave us an information pack and advice on access for local shops and a variety of footpaths. Ellesmere town and surroundings are a delight to wander around and stretches alongside the Shropshire Union Canal provide a glimpse at the bygone days of water transport. The meres provide an attractive focal point for families and those who enjoy a quiet walk in nature. A site we hope to visit again for a longer stay. Christine & Eddie Welfare June 2022
