Guests say
Birch Lodge offers a peaceful and relaxing retreat, with guests consistently praising its spotless cleanliness, modern comforts, and well-equipped facilities. The tranquil rural setting, complete with friendly animals such as alpacas, peacocks, and chickens, adds a unique charm.

Minor issues, such as a worn TV remote and kitchen flooring, are mentioned but do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience. Many guests express a desire to return.
Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with multiple guests describing the lodge as spotless, sparkling clean, and well-maintained. The hot tub is noted as being cleaned daily. Only one minor mention of worn kitchen flooring, but overall, standards are exceptionally high.
The location is praised for its peacefulness and proximity to Ulverston and the Lake District. Guests appreciate the tranquil countryside setting, easy access to local attractions, and the balance between seclusion and convenience. A few note the rural roads and limited immediate walking options, but these are minor.

Facilities are highly rated, with guests enjoying the hot tub, modern amenities, and well-equipped kitchen (including dishwasher and washer/dryer). The presence of animals is a unique bonus. Minor issues include a worn TV remote and kitchen flooring, but these do not significantly impact the experience.
Hosts are described as responsive, helpful, and professional. A complimentary meal was provided to some guests due to on-site work, but such gestures are not guaranteed. The welcome information and attention to guest needs are frequently praised.

The lodge was in an excellent location, peaceful but within walking distance of a very good pub and a few minutes drive to the shops.The accommodation was well equipped and comfortable. The flooring in the kitchen area was worn in places but perfectly serviceable. The bathroom taps looked fabulous but they weren’t very practical- it all adds to the fun of self catering.The outside deck and hot tub area was well used by us and the visiting peacocks!All in all an excellent, value for money holiday in a lovely area.

We had a lovely stay, loved the location, very quiet and peaceful. We loved saying hello to the animals when they came to visit and enjoyed making use of the hot tub inbetween trips.

Lots of space, amenities and in a peaceful environment. The hot tub was clean and the perfect addition. Thanks so much for an incredible stay.
