Welcome to Birch Farm

Birch Farm offers a serene escape for campers seeking a tranquil experience amidst beautiful countryside surroundings. The campsite provides a "back to basics" vibe that can either charm or challenge visitors depending on their camping preferences and needs.

Location & Facilities

Nestled between a sheep field and a horse field, Birch Farm gives you a quintessential countryside experience. However, note that the campsite’s actual location is slightly further away from the reception area than indicated by some maps, adding a bit more walking for those without a car.

The facilities at Birch Farm are modest and include a basic toilet block with one shower. While there are no dedicated washing up areas, seasoned campers often improvise with portable setups. This could be ideal for those who appreciate simplicity and are equipped for it. The owner is known to be friendly and accommodating, adding a personal touch to your stay.

Activities & Surroundings

Birch Farm is a perfect spot for those who love fishing, as there is a small lake dedicated to this activity. The campsite is also sprinkled with picnic tables, a barbecue area, and a tree swing, providing simple pleasures in a peaceful setting. If you appreciate spacious camping areas, you'll enjoy the generous pitches spread across the site.

Considerations

• Distance from the train station to the campsite may be longer than anticipated, especially for those carrying heavy backpacks.
• The facilities are quite basic, with some visitors noting the absence of hot water for washing up.
• It might be beneficial to visit with a group that includes a caravan for easier access to amenities.

Overall Thoughts

Birch Farm is ideal for those looking for a quiet retreat with minimal facilities. Its peaceful setting and beautiful views make it a favorite for some, while others might find it too basic for their liking. With its friendly atmosphere and significant potential for improvement, Birch Farm has the charm of a hidden gem for the right kind of camper.
