  • "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 !

    Thank you for being lovely guests and for taking the time to write us a fab review. We look forward to having you back. Property Owner

  • "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

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review and being fab guests. So glad you were comfortable at Birch House and had a great time in Corsham. All the best Sara Property Owner

    Everything provided, from bedding and furniture to kitchenware, was of the highest standard and the house was spotlessly clean.

    Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. Really appreciate it and so glad you enjoyed staying at Birch House. Property Owner

  • "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.

    Totally blown away by this review! Thank so much for all the compliments. So glad our efforts to make it special was appreciated by you and your family. Thank you for being the perfect guests and for sharing lots of useful information when on your adventures in and around Corsham. Property Owner

    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.

    You are very welcome Robin! Thank you for your lovely review and really appreciate the feedback you gave us about our Birch House digital guidebook, we made the tweak you suggested. Thank you for being amazing guests, so glad you all had a great time. Property Owner

  • "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.

    Thank you David for the five star review, really appreciated and for being lovely guests. So glad you had a great time at Birch House and in the local area. We regularly research what the local public EV charging stations in Corsham and surrounding areas cost and ensure our charges are competitive with those, plus you are the sole user and have the comfort of being able to charge at Birch House.

    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.

    Every little thing for your comfort and convenience has been provided. I normally pack hand-wash, tea towels, oven gloves and washing-up 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.

  • "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.

    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!

  • "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.

About the location

CORSHAM

Bath 7 miles.

The attractive small market town of Corsham can be found in North West Wiltshire, only 7 miles from the regal city of Bath. The town offers a vibrant weekly market, and is renowned for its numerous Grade ll listed limestone buildings, many of which have been used as locations for TV series and films including Poldark and The Suspicions of Mr Whicher. Locally, Corsham Court is well worth a visit where the impressive art collection can be admired or visitors can enjoy the scenic parkland, designed by Capability Brown. Easily accessible is the stunning city of Bath, where there is so much on offer, catering for all tastes, from the magnificent architecture of the Georgian terraces to the celebrated Roman Baths and wonderful abbey. With ample opportunities to eat out, or indulge in a bit of retail therapy, you really are spoilt for choice. Alternatively, take the short drive to the 13th century village of Lacock, or to Castle Combe, once named England’s prettiest village. Corsham provides visitors with a charming, historic base from which to explore this diverse area at any time of the year.
