Be welcomed into the light and airy open-plan living space, where you will find a well-equipped kitchen for rustling up your best dishes, ready to savour around the dining table for six over a bottle of wine, before kicking-back and relaxing in front of your favourite show on the TV, as your pooch takes up their favourite spot in front of the woodburning stove.

Head up to the first floor, where you can wash away the day in the beautiful bathroom with your choice of bath or overhead shower, before retiring to one of three tastefully decorated bedrooms, two king-size, one with zip/link, and a twin.

Birch House Reviews

We had a lovely stay at Birch House. Bed was super comfy, house had everything we could need. Went on a couple of walks around the area in between the wet weather, and took a drive over to Lacock. Also went to Lowden Farm Shop a few miles down the road which is great for supplies if you're cooking and also has logs if you need them. Ate two great meals at the Methuen Arms and Mother and Wild. The house is well situated to walk up into town. Made the most of the hot tub and log burner and generally enjoyed a really relaxing time.
Stephanie
We very much enjoyed our stay at Birch House! On arrival there was a beautiful Christmas Tree all lit up, the property was warm and there was some goodies for us which were very much appreciated. The property is decorated to a very high standard and very convenient for getting about with local shops a short distance away! Very comfortable beds too!
Hayley
Absolutely superb holiday property! I had a lovely email before arrival checking and ensuring we had all the details we needed. The facilities at the house were amazingclean and easy to use. The bedrooms were fantastic in size and it was the best holiday home we've had. Pub was only a 5 minute walk and loads of lovely field walks to take the dog within 5 minute walk as well.
Lesley
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Birch House very clean and fresh, lovely welcome pack on arrival even treats for the dog which were very much appreciated. We only booked on actual day of arrival so very short notice but the house was immaculate with attention to detail and the hot tub icing on the cake. Owners very welcoming and very approachable. Short walk into Corsham plenty to do and see. Lacock Bath and Castle Combe all worth visiting. Would highly recommend and definitely book again when next visiting the area.
We had a lovely stay at Birch House. It had all that we needed as a family of four plus a large dog. The rear area is secure so no chance of any escaping dogs or kiddies. The EV charge point was easy to use and straightforward to pay with the owners. The Hot Tub was clean and a great way to unwind after a day exploring the local attractions. We visited Corsham and Corsham Court, Bath and Lacock and dog walks from the house. There are many film and TV locations around these areas, including the Harry Potter house in Lacock. Also, if you are interested in the subterranean world then this is also a hotbed for that!

We had a lovely stay at Birch Cottage. Cottage was very well equipped, clean and comfy. The welcome tray and dog treats were a lovely touch. Friendly owner on hand if we needed anything. 10 minute walk into Corsham, which is a lovely town. Peacocks roam freely around the town! Also a short drive to Castle Coombs and Lacock, both very pretty and a must see if you are in the area.
Very well equipped and spotless property in a quiet location walking distance from Corsham. Owner attentive and responsive. Would definitely reccomend
Danielle
Absolutely superb and owners were fabulous x
Have already made suggestions about instruction leaflets for new appliances and instructions on how to use streaming services.
We had a lovely week at Birch House. The house had clearly been recently renovated to a high standard. It was comfortable, well equipped, and large enough for our party of 6, including 2 young children and one dog. We really appreciated the welcome pack and the selection of games and toys. Unfortunately, the wet April weather put us off using the hot tub, so can't comment on that, though it looked great! Amber was a wonderful host, with excellent communication before and during our stay. We had an incident where our 3 year old wet the bed and Amber went above and beyond to come round and change the sheets so that I wouldn't have to deal with it myself. Small touches like this can make a huge difference on a family holiday. Corsham itself is a lovely village and we enjoyed days out in Bath, Lacock, Dyrham Park and Longleat. Overall, I would highly recommend Birch House.

You may have seen this amazing attraction on the BBC1 Animal Park programme.  This is actually the first safari park outside of Africa where you can get close to the animals from the comfort of your own car. Some of the highlights include the zebras, the wallabies in wallaby wood and the sea lion escorted cruise to Gorilla Island.  And of course the magnificent lions and tigers are a must see.  This really is an animal experience with a difference and you can save money by booking your tickets online.  This attraction is open until the end of October. Check out their website to see some fantastic video podcasts of the park.
