Little Birch Vacation Rentals

"Clean, comfortable and great value for money with a nice self service breakfast. Pub food was also great and reasonable"

"Visited during major refurbishment so few other guests, look forward to returning when remodel is complete."

"I would not stay again, our double bedroom had very tired decor, peeling paint, lots of dust and cobwebs, and overlooked a flat roof/ fire escape. Seems like the room had been slapped with lots of green paint in attempts to modernise it. Not sure how the accommodation can be described as luxury. If we had been staying for more then one night I would have left early. The parking is very limited, but that is stated when booking. Staff at reception were friendly when booking in."

"It was a fine stay. We paid more for a better room which seemed worth it."

"Friendly and helpful staff. Room was very pleasant and spacious. For me the curly stairs to top floor was an issue because of mobility problem. But i slept well , good choice of breakfast."

"If you're looking for a small-town English hotel experience, the GMH delivers. It captures "old world" charm, though it comes with unique quirks to be prepared for. We stayed in the massive “Hideaway” suite with 3 bedrooms and a living room. It was clean and the bed was comfortable, but it does show its age in "charming" ways. For example, there was a bit of sagging plaster on the ceiling and a hole behind a bookcase. The bathroom was large with modern fixtures and a great shower. The breakfast was a highlight. It’s served in a lovely room and included, allowing you to order a fresh breakfast off a menu. Jeremy, the manager, is very much a "character." He is very knowledgeable about the area and provided excellent local suggestions. He is clearly proud of his country and community. However, be prepared for a very dry, sometimes sharp English wit. As Americans, we had a few interactions that felt a bit "salty", including some unsolicited lessons on "proper" cutlery etiquette and comments about Americans in general. While some might find his sarcasm a bit jarring, we took it as part of the eccentric local experience. If you go in with a sense of humor and don't take the "instruction" personal, he adds a certain color to the stay that you won't find at a corporate chain. The on-site parking is a plus, and the location is excellent. If you enjoy a hotel with a strong personality, you’ll love it here. Just be ready for a bit of "education" on your table manners!"

"Dated but clean snd with great location"

"Parking was easy/safe. Good location. Close for motorway & City. Theres a Toby carvery ( not dog friendly) 2 minute walk, farm shop - cafe not dog friendly & very expensive for a takeaway roll & sausage/cup of tea. Nice views, staff were helpful/pleasant.The lofthouse restaurant/bar appeared popular and dogs were permitted in a small area to the back of the restuarant. The food was nice, but limited in choice. The room was a good size, bed was comfy. However, the bathroom needs attention, the floor is mouldy due to the corner bath shower position, there was no plug for the bath, nor a bath mat to prevent slipping when showering. The milk was not replenished the next day to make tea/coffee. For a modern building I expected more from it, there are no usb sockets in the room. When travelling,we are usually expected to strip beds in most places we visit & did this the moring we left. The linnen on the bed was great clean, unfortunately i can't say the same for the duvet, it was badly stained, as was the matress [there were no protectors on the bed]. The has burn marks and stains on it."
