About Birch House

Tucked away in the historic market town of Corsham, Wiltshire, is this lovely, 1940s detached house, Birch House. Enjoying a superb location on the outskirts of the Cotswolds AONB, Birch House is a fantastic pet-friendly choice for friends, families, and couples.

The property benefits from two off-road parking spaces with EV charger, and a lovely rear enclosed garden with furniture and a bubbling hot tub, perfect for evenings spent dining alfresco followed by an indulgent dip. 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.

Completing the ground floor is a handy cloakroom and a utility cupboard housing a washer/dryer. 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.

Explore the town, where you can stock up on essentials at the convenience store, treat your loved ones to a meal out at The Methuen Arms, Mother & Wild, and The Royal Oak, tour the esteemed Corsham Court with its lavish interior and extensive grounds, or hook your catch of the day at the Pockeridge Lakes. Drive or catch the regular bus service into Bath, where you can enjoy a pamper at the Thermae Bath Spa, visit the historic Roman Baths, explore the Museum of Bath at Work and The Holburne Museum, enjoy a boat trip along the River Avon, or dine at a wide variety of Michelin Star restaurants including, Bath Priory, Olive Tree, Henryâ€™s and Upstairs at Landrace.

Birch House Reviews

Christopher

We had a fantastic stay in Birch House. The whole experience was fantastic, from booking, to being in regular contact with the owners. The welcome hamper was amazing, and a really lovely touch with having a Wedding Anniversary card there too. The property itself is on a very quiet residential road with excellent walking access into Corsham. We visited Lacock for the day and also Bath too. As mentioned before the house is extremely well kept, and the kids loved every evening being in the hot tub. We have no hesitation in recommending Birch House, and we cannot wait to go back !

What an amazing place to stay in. Feels more like your own home than a holiday home. Everything you would need was provided and more. Plenty of room for 4 of us. We all slept so well the beds were so comfortable. I must say one of the best welcome packs provided which really helped on our arrival. We made great use of the hot tub. Great location. Highly recommend a visit to Lacock. Lovely garden centre in nearby Melksham which has amazing food. Whitehall Garden centre in Corsham has a brilliant Christmas shop. We had a lovely meal at Moonlight Indian restaurant for our wedding anniversary. Owner Amber contacted us to check everything was OK with our stay. Highly recommend. One of the best properties we have stayed in. Thank you so much for a lovely stay

Birch House is excellent, and probably the best selfcatering property we have stayed in. Everything provided, from bedding and furniture to kitchenware, was of the highest standard and the house was spotlessly clean.

Birch House is fantastic there really is nothing you need to bring with you to start your break here the generous welcome pack left by Amber and Aaron enabled us to feed our party of 5 on the first evening thank you so much. The furniture and beds are comfortable firm and the towels big and luxurious. The house was spotlessly clean throughout. The hot tub was amazing and our party ranging from mid 50s to early teens enjoyed morning, mid afternoon and evening plunges to relax there are towels in the cupboard for this too. Our teenage children enjoyed playing the selection of games available too. We used Birch House as a base to visit Bath catch the x31 or 231 bus to avoid expensive parking and long traffic queues in to the centre you can download an app easily and pay in advance, Bristol Zoo Project, Swindon Outlet Village, Diddly Squat Farm beware the queue was 3 hours long for the shop and Corsham Village. We walked to The Great Western pub for a meal and was not disappointed. We highly recommend Birch House for any length of visit the photos, although fabulous, really do not show how amazing this house truly is. Amber and Aaron's communication from prior and throughout the visit was considerate.

Birch House is an absolute gem of a find, and as a family of 4 2 extra guests we could not find fault anywhere. It's been so well provisioned and thought out that it makes this modest sized property feel twice the size it really is. Thank you Amber and Aaron, you have obviously put a lot of thought and care into Birch House and together with a most generous welcoming pack we had a wonderful stay.

Excellent quality accomodation, really well refurbished. Good quality appliances and furniture. Hot tub was wonderful and a definite plus. Kitchen very well equipped. The beds could be been a bit more comfortable. Electric charging point was an essential for us and a key reason for booking. Electric charging was rather expensive at 50p per kWh and front drive was not so easy to park on, as it is round a tight corner. Location is good as it is walkable to the town centre. Good location for touring.

The house had everything needed to make it enjoyable. House was spotless on arrival and had lots of space to relax. Made the holiday even more enjoyable. The added bonus of the hot tub after a busy day out and about was a big plus. A great base for exploring and would definitely book again if in the area. The welcome gifts were greatly received on arrival. We all highly recommend the house.

Allison

Fantastic house, clean and welcoming, great hot tub ! !! Well maintained by the owners. Location only 10 minutes easy walk to Corsham village centre, recommend a visit to Corsham court and the plenty of coffee shops.Highly recommend birch house for a weeks holiday or even a short weekend break

Cecily

Excellent property spacious, airy and well appointed. Every little thing for your comfort and convenience has been provided. I normally pack handwash, tea towels, oven gloves and washingup liquid. Only the last was needed. A small garden has been turned into an oasis The covered hot tub sits in a well planted area and it was lovely to listen to birdsong while relaxing. Absolutely delightful.

Modern property with a lovely hot tub. The host was available if needed. Well equipped kitchen , comfortable beds in a quiet location . We had a welcome pack of goodies on arrival. Excellent pub close by. Brilliant place for a family gathering.

Catherine

The house is complimented by good facilities and all in good working order. The hot tub was clean and we managed to use every day as it is covered so we enjoyed the hot tub very much.Corsham is lovely and has a lot to offer we visited different places every day and Bath is only 30 minutes away. Great base for a Cotswolds holiday. Owners live close by and left a lovely welcome basket which was very thoughtful and welcome on arrival.

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!

Nicola

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.
