Plenty of space for Peace and Quietness

Beautiful site , very well spaced out and well maintained. Such a friendly welcome from Anne and Robin. It was the first stay here for us and it definitely will not be the last. Close to two beautiful garden estates of Wakehurst and Leonardslee within 15 minutes drive. The local “Chippy” was ok too , peaceful stay even the aeroplanes were not intrusive, plenty of birds flying around. Ok it’s not the cheapest CL site about , but with everything going for it otherwise, to us it was worth it for our 6 night stay.

Perfect

I’ve been to sites all over the UK and Europe since the early 70’s. This is by far the most tranquil, beautiful site we’ve stayed at. Second time we’ve stayed here and this will be our local go to. Huge time and effort must have been put into the planting of a wide variety of trees, shrubs and in spring the array of flowers is up there with the best of the National Trust gardens. If you can’t follow the clear directions, negotiate a short single track lane nor use your own van’s facilities, maybe try a commercial site. If you want a friendly welcome, beautiful, relaxing pitches with plenty of good walks for you and your dog from the site, you’re missing something very special if you don’t try it. Well worth the money by a country mile. Thank you!

Wonderful

We have spent a week here and it’s a great place. One of the best CL’s with lots of space between caravans. A tranquil site and such friendly owners, we will be back next year. I am no expert but with the exception of one day we have been visited by a Red Kite I believe. Thanks Anne for your hospitality.

A few days spent in the West Sussex Countryside

We have been coming to stay at this perfect CL for a number of years now. At all times of the year, be it Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, and in all weathers. The beauty of this CL is the flexibility of the type of pitch available throughout the twelve months, the lovingly tended gardens, and the owners themselves. We recently stayed here in mid-March 2022 not long after Storm Franklin "breezed" through. The gardens showed no sign of any damage, Robin had taken care of that, but we were told that the grassed areas were too soft and we would be on a hardstanding. No problem. I understand that mid-March could still be too soft for caravans and cars. The grassed areas are by no means "bowling green" turf but they are more or less pretty level, nice and green and show no signs or rutting or mis-management. 2.5 acres for a CL for 5 units? You can almost hide yourself away in a corner if you so wished. You can position your unit at any angle on the grass the pitches are that generous in size, so different from the Clubs Sites. Anne and Robin have had their CL open for over 40 years. they know how to properly run a CL. Its an extension of their private garden. I`ve not given the "game away" about this CL. They have Club Members who have been visiting for many, many years. Its a beautiful CL.

Lovely site, well set out and well kept. Felt safe as all the precautions for Covid 19 were in place and used by everyone.

A perfect CL site!

It amazed us how a CL site which is actually fairly close to a busy road and with great access to places of interest could be so quiet and peaceful! This is a lovely site, and the owner was so kind and helpful. We had a weekend of disasters - motor movers packed up, roof light leaked - but Anne lent us ladders and we fixed the problem, and had an excellent stay. We saw lots of wildlife, and Glow Wild at Wakehurst, the reason for our visit, was excellent. Definitely one to recommend and return to!

One of the best

Birch Trees Farm continues to be one of the best Cls in the network and is ideal for stays in West Sussex. The large, flat grass site is kept to a high standard and the five pitches are arranged to give a really spacious feel. The carefully planted trees and shrubs encourage a variety of wildlife and give the impression of being in a garden setting. A drinking water point together with recycling bins and chemical emptying facility are all located near to the site entrance. A further water tap is located in the centre of the site. 10 amp electric supply points are available to all pitches.The Information Shed has a good selection of leaflets on the local area, together with a selection of books that are available for a small donation to the air ambulance. TV is generally good but can be variable, mobile phone signals are good. Hard standing areas are also available if required. Car parking in Brighton can be very difficult but there is a good Park and Ride that runs from Withdean Sports Centre although it does have height restrictions at some peak times. We recently stayed for four nights and were made most welcome by the owners and have no hesitation in recommending this adult only site to other members.

Lovely relaxing CL

Birch Trees Farm is tucked away down a quiet lane - ensure you follow the owners directions, but easy to find when you do. Its a huge grassy area with loads of room for all units, surrounded by lovely mature planting. The pitches are extremely generous and spacious. There is also hard standing pitches available if required. We had a lovely warm welcome, and there's a great information shed full of leaflets and information to help with your stay. Plenty of local walks if you don't wish to take the car/motorhome out. Thoroughly recommended, we will definitely stay again if we're in the area.

A pleasant week

There isn’t much more to be said than is already in the other reviews. An exceptionally large, pretty and well looked after CL with rural views. It is a peaceful haven in an otherwise busy part of the country. There are 4 good NT properties within 30 mins drive and a 5th 45 mins away and NT car parks on the easy to reach South Downs Way. There are large Waitrose and other supermarkets in Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill, which are a short drive away. The quaint village of Cuckfield is within easy walking distance and has places to eat and a small Co-op. The triangle of woodland and pasture bounded by the A272 to the North and the A273 and the B2036 to the East and West, with Ansty and the CL in the North West corner, is very attractive and crisscrossed with well-marked public footpaths and bridleways.

Fabulous..

Stayed for 2 weeks 09/07-23/07..... Birch Trees is a fabulous site, plentiful space, freedom to pitch up just how you decide and has a lovely countryside feel to it despite being in a busy county. Nature is key here and Mr & Mrs Upton are very keen to keep it that way, we loved watching the birds and bunnies! There is an information shed with a ton of info relating to places to visit and amenities locally. We've made the most of our National Trust membership as there is an abundance of houses and gardens within a reasonably short drive.....our favourite 2 being Standen House and Petworth. Day trip to Brighton with the open top City Sightseeing Bus tour is a good way to get around, see the different parts and learn some of it's history. West Wittering beach was beautiful but VERY popular...probably best to avoid a weekend and be prepared to pay £8.50 to park on a rough field as it is sooo busy. We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely return in the future to do more and will be staying at Birch Trees CL......
