We had a warm welcome from Ian on arrival who gave us a tour of the site and explained the Covid 19 rules.
The site is very roomy and therefore no social distancing problems. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the space and freedom to play.
The location is great for walking, cycling and sightseeing. Ellesmere is a short distance away and has lots of amenities for visitors. The Greek Restaurant is worth a visit.
We would highly recommend this site and we are already booked for a further stay and looking forward to it very much.
An Excellent site
We stayed here for a week in mid-August. Ian welcomed us and went through the Covid-19 protocol with us. All the safety precautions were excellent. You even get your own tap! The site is peaceful and there is plenty of space between vans. You can place your van any way you choose, and for us that is really important. We hate being lined up like soldiers and having to be precise as to where you place the middle of your van. Ellesmere is very easy to get to, and there is a footpath into the town which is about a mile away. I shopped at Stan's supermarket and again the Covid-19 protocol there was excellent. Sadly, because we were shielding we were unable to sample the restaurants or the other lovely shops in the town. We will be back and hopefully we can do that then. There are plenty of walks close by and all in all we would highly recommend this site for its cleanliness; its peaceful location and its proximity to local amenities.

Peaceful site with great views.
Glad to be able to get onto this wonderful site and can see why it’s so popular. Great directions to site. Easy access and a warm welcome from Ian, with a walk around to show good spots to set up. This gives you plenty of room between vans and the best views. Site is well maintained, with plenty of water points and a dog walk on site. Due to site having great views and it being so relaxing and peaceful we didn’t venture out much but there are plenty of touristy places within easy reach and Ellesmere alone has lakes, parks and canals to explore.
Will definitely be back.

Stayed 21/7/20 lovely welcome and choice of very spacious pitches,allocated own water tap due to Covid which was excellent.About 1 mile into Ellesmere where there is butchers bakery supermarket and places to eat

Birch Hill July 2020
Very well maintained site. Excellent welcome and informative tour of the site. Several pitches to chose from all with EH and water. Full COVID precautions in place. Dog walk directly from site and several footpaths very close by. Ellesmere and its lakes are an easy walk either via footpaths or along the A road which is paved. My only concern is that many of the older footpath 'stiles' are poorly maintained and some are not very dog friendly. Fortunately our dog is young and working but even he struggled at some. The approaches to the 'stiles' in many places are also overgrown. We would definitely recommend this site and would like to return at some point.
Excellent Covid Precautions
Just returned from a very enjoyable week staying at Birch Hill enjoying exploring the local footpaths. The site was immaculate and the Covid measures in place meant we felt very safe. Thank you!
Birch Hill CL, Beautiful and Peaceful
The welcome From Ian and Janet is warm and friendly and you are given a tour of the site. The Setting of this CL is beautiful and close to the Town of Ellesmere and the Mere itself.
Although we had poor weather we had a lovely peaceful and relaxing time and enjoyed the local walks and the sites little gem is their very own dingle which is magical. Our little Westie is 15 1/2 years old and became like a little puppy again so there really is something special about this CL.

Great Time at Birch Hill
I was pleased with the site well organised, the video directions were ace,
Janet and Ian were friendly and accommodating.
A great site to stay at even in the winter.
Fabulous Site
I stayed here xmas 2019, lovely friendly welcome, very peaceful site too. The weather was mild, so I took my dog for a nice amble to the Mere. Also there is an ancient church on the hill in the little town. If you want peace and quiet in lovely scenic countryside this is the site for you. I will definately be returning to Birch Hill Farm!
Beautiful peaceful site.
Lovely well kept site with beautiful views. A very useful information pack given to us on our arrival. Easy to walk into Ellesmere only 25 minutes along a well lit footpath. Ian and Janet made us feel very welcome we could choose which pitch we wanted. We were visiting friends in Ellesmere and would certainly book this site again.
