Birch View Reviews

Claire
Great place to stay, comfy and perfect for exploring nearby sights easily.
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is super comfy, especially with two downstairs bedrooms, which was perfect for us. The garden is fully enclosed, so our two Golden Retrievers felt totally safe, though we did have to be extra careful with the cream carpets after muddy walks. A few simple touches like side tables in the lounge and a coathook in the hall would make it even better. The hot tub was spotless and well looked afterand the owner was really helpful and easy to reach. Nice place!
Emily
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is peaceful, spaciousand feels really homely. The hot tub was a lovely bonus after a day out. Perfectly situated for exploring the coast and Somerset’s main sights. Parking is a bit tight with only two spots at the back, but there’s an easy-to-access space near the B&B for a third car. Just a couple of small things could be improved, but overall, it’s a great spot. We’d happily come back!
James

We had a really lovely stay at Millbank Farm Birchwood. The place was super cosy and had all the essentials we needed. The farm manager kept the hot tub in perfect condition daily, which was a bonus. It’s a peaceful spotand we’ll definitely be coming back when we visit the area again. Thanks a lot!
Emma
The location is fantastic, with loads to explore nearby, yet it's so tranquil to come back to. The open-plan living space downstairs is spaciousand the garden is lovely and private. The hot tub is well looked after and cleaned daily. Just a few small touches like coat hooks, hand towelsand some basic kitchen bits would make it perfect!
Emma Parker
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was lovely, spaciousand super comfy-perfect for our family trip. The location was ideal for visiting Glastonbury, Cheddarand Weston-super-Mare. WiFi was reliable, but phone signal was weak. Parking was a bit tight with only two spots at the back, so we parked at the B&B nearby. Would stay again!
Emma
We had a wonderful stay! The garden and hot tub were perfect for relaxing, especially with the lovely weather. The kitchen had everything we needed to cookand the bedrooms were really spacious with comfy beds. The bathrooms were big and modern too. Overall, a fantastic family getaway I’d recommend to anyone!
