Another lovely week at Birch Hill. Beautiful surroundings, stunning views and plenty of room to spread out on this massive site.
Ian and Janet always make us very welcome and Amber showed us her puppies!
Ellesmere is a delightful little market town, lots of interesting shops as well as a superstore. Restaurants to suit all tastes!
We visited National Trust properties locally and almost got blown off the Iron age hill fort at Oswestry – plenty to do.
If you want a quiet CL, with well kept facilities, within reach of stunning countryside and lovely friendly and knowledgeable hosts, this is the place for you. We love it.
Lovely stay at a well located site
We booked this site last minute after having to change plans. Luckily it was available for our dates and we booked online using the new CL booking app. On arrival we were greeted by the owner and given a very detailed welcome brief.
The site is very pretty and has lovely views. The pitch is hardstanding on grass. Plastic grating has been semi-buried into the ground, allowing the grass to grow through but giving a solid base. It looks nice and works reasonably well but was still very muddy due to the heavy recent rainfall.
The site is very well located. A very short 1m walk to the local town of Ellesmere, which is very pretty and has a lovely lake (mere) and canal, so good walk options. A Tesco and many small local shops and restaurants are available in the town. We also drove to nearby Shrewsbury which is very pretty and a great day out.
Overall very good, well located, well organised and very pretty. We will return and would recommend.

Sharing with Eunice
Arriving the night before Storm Eunice, Ian very kindly arranged for us to pitch up in a sheltered spot between his garage and office buildings. We consequently enjoyed 2 good nights sleep feeling safe and secure.
Ian’s welcome together with his outstanding digital information app enabled us to maximise our visit despite the inclement weather. This is a lovely area to visit with plenty to do and see. We will definitely be back to explore its many attractions when it’s warmer and drier!
1st Class CL
We have just come back from our 1st stay at Birch Hill CL & we will definately be visiting again. The site is set in beautiful Shropshire countryside and is peaceful. The owner Ian, is friendly and helpful, on arrival we had a problem with our Van & Ian helped us find a local service engineer to sort out our problem. The site has 16amp hook up and excellent TV reception which to us is important on a dark winters night. The site also has free wifi which is good for general internet surfing and streaming. If you have a dog then Birch Hill is great and there is a dog walk on site called the "Dingle" which is a safe area to exercise your dog. Ian does ask that you keep your dog under control and be respectful to other guests which we totally agree with. The site is close to the village of Ellesmere which has a Tesco supermarket. You are also spoilt for choice with good pubs within a short drive as well as those in the village.
Fantastic CL
Very Friendly and we'll appointed CL. Excellent for dogs and convenient for some great walks. Will definitely book again.
Exceptional CL & perfect Location
Arrived on the 22nd September for our 2 night stay. We received a very a very pleasant welcome & perfect reception including a guided tour of the facilities, pointing out the many local attractions & places to visit. The site is spacious with a good range of pitches to choose from, most with gorgeous views. A very relaxing visit all round and absolutely perfect hosts to boot.
Highly recommended.
an excellent site.
An excellent site well run and maintained, close to local amenities. we will be returning.

Lovely peaceful site
I arrived on a Tuesday afternoon, having booked this site at short notice using their own online booking system. It was easily accessible from the A525. I was able choose where to pitch and the site was on two levels. The ground was fairly flat on well mown grass ( they also had grass covered hard standing pitches). I was able to buy Elsan green toilet fluid from the owners as their waste disposal does not cater for the blue ( this pointed out on their website). During my stay I managed to visit Ellesmere, I travelled to Bridgemere garden centre and also to Chirk where I caught a train to the North Wales coast. The weather was good which made my short break all the more enjoyable.

Lovely site , peaceful and quiet, well organised, helpful and friendly. Just what we like so will return at a later date.
A great site, away from it al yet still close to any amenities
This is a great site, which is peaceful and tranquil. We had a great few days here and cannot wait to return! The owners are friendly and helpful and helped us to choose the best pitch for our needs.
