Birch Reviews

Such a lovely little lodge, had everything we needed and the hot tub was so lovely. Cant wait to return next year
Lesley
A lovely and comfortable lodge. Very clean and bathroom and en suite facilities excellent. Bed very comfortable and bedding and towels supplied is a bonus. Could do with extra kitchen items such as a teapot and measuring jug plus pudding basins if self catering. It is also a real plus to have the facility of a hot tub.
