Birch Hotel Stay

Great hotel and a welcome tour down history. Nice rooms, modern renovations and has everything needed inside rooms. Luggage was carried up to room for me as staircases are quite narrow, but it's part of the old character of hotel and beautifully maintained. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I'd stay here again anytime

4/10 Fair

Property is in a lovely location, however.., bath plug - release mechanism is faulty so unable to drain bath, air-con - sounds like a helicopter gunship, also currently no chef on site so they are unable to serve evening meals.
