Heather and Ken were most helpful in many ways. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. Parking nearby was no problem especially as we had several cars between us. I... More

We renetly did a driving tour around the south west and this was one of the best (if not the best) place we stayed. It's not a posh hotel by any means, but it is homely, charming, immaculately clean and tidy, and the owners have paid close attention to every detail. The breakfast was one of the best I've had...

We recently used Birchwood as a base while we visited the Historic Dockyard and the Isle of Wight. Standout items for us were the cleanliness (the place was spotless) and the very helpful and polite nature of the hosts, from the minute we arrived they were both very nice and helpful. Breakfast was also fantastic with options ranging from cereal... More
