Birch Reviews

Bridget
Birch lodge was exactly as described with everything we needed for our week away. We received a warm welcome from Adam, the owner and he checked everything was ok when we saw him again the next day. We had a comfortable bed and the hot tub was lovely. The property was very clean and the welcome hamper was very much appreciated. A great setting with lots to do in the local and wider area. Would absolutely recommend a stay at Steam Mill Lodges.
Staying at Birch is a great place for a weekend away. Its location is directly in between two cities where we can travel easily for things to do, dining, entertainment etc. its facilities and accommodation were comforting, easy and peaceful. The lodges atmosphere was great and it was very quiet at night and throughout the day. No noises that could keep you up at night. It was clean and tidy on arrival and we were accommodated properly with utensils, spare items, bathroom supplies etc. Overall, great place to stay .
Absolutely beautiful setting. The Lodge was lovely, clean and comfortable. The welcome hamper yummy. The owners have really done an amazing job and deserve every success We couldn't fault anything !
The stay was so lovely and perfect for a short holiday . Super easy to get in and out of site , with things like Twycross zoo a short drive away which was amazing. The hot tub was amazing and the views from our lodge were beautiful. We also liked how there was a tv in both living area space and bedroom. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!!! Thank you for a much needed relaxation weekend
I would 100 recommend this place to stay to anyone, its such a peaceful area. Me and my partner were welcomed with a little welcome basket which was a lovely touch. The lodge was very clean when we arrived and couldnt fault it at all. The fairy lights above the hot tub just topped off every evening which made the lodge more stunning
All round lovely weekend, everything is 1010. Check out could be a little later which would be better for customers.
