Everything was so clean and it was a cosy, well maintained property with everything we needed. The welcome pack was so generous, thank you! And the hot tub obviously great. Corsham was a lovely town with great pubs and it was a special weekend all round.

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 !

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
