What our customers say about their holidays

  We absolutely loved our stay at Birch View Lodges.

  We booked our mini break for a relaxing get away from the real world for a few days and it was so worth it. The lodge itself was so clean (it was like we were the first people that had ever been in). We had a bottle of proseco in the fridge, along with milk and waters. We were also given fresh bread with jam & marmalade. We felt very spoilt straight away. The outside area with hot tub was great and you are supplied with LOTS of wood. We loved the outdoor space for a bbq and roasting marshmallows in the evening watching the stars. The hot tub was great...very peaceful and relaxing. Michelle was super friendly and helped us with any questions or queries during our stay. We enjoyed several games of snooker in the games room on a rainy day. We loved our stay so much, we have booked again for a birthday and we have family members booking for the other lodges. Would highly recommend!!!

  Lovely week stay at Ivy Barn, very quiet and peaceful .

  Very clean on arrival and very well equipped for self catering with everything you could possibly need. Great powerful shower, warm and cosy with easily adjustable heating. Bed was the comfiest we have experienced in a holiday let and the electric reclining sofa was really comfortable. Plenty of storage space. WiFi very reliable. There is a small ice box in the top of the fridge that can store a few frozen items . Julie and Simon are excellent hosts and live next door if needed. A path from the property leads directly to Carsington Water footpath just a couple of minutes walk away, lovely circular walk around the water with a visitor centre, cafe and shop. We would highly recommend. Thank you Julie and Simon for an excellent stay.

  The barn has been beautifully renovated.

  A very comfortable and lovely living space, in a stunning location. Lovely and warm, we had snow for one of our days. Easy to access, and very private. Great to have the option to use a washing machine and tumble drier. So much to do in the area that we ran out of time. Lovely to be able to do walks directly from the house. Lots of places to eat and drink in the local area. We also like to cook where we stay and perhaps would have liked a few more kitchen utensils. This is not a complaint, just an observation. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing stay.

  A beautiful cottage with everything you need for a holiday off the beaten track with a local shop and pub a mile away.

  Ivy Barn is well furnished and full of interesting local books, guides and maps. It feels like a real home with a well equipped kitchen, TV, lovely bathroom towels and access to a washing machine. Hosts Simon and Julie make you feel welcome and their thoughtful gifts of biscuits and sweets on arrival along with a pint of milk was so nice. Breathtaking setting above Carsington Water, the photos just don't bring out the real magic of the place. A perfect base for exploring the area and enjoying the great outdoors.

  Such a beautiful location, offering gorgeous skies over a distant Carsington Water, and fantastic dog walks without needing the car.

  Ivy Barn was a cosy, stylish and well equipped barn conversion. Its furnishings were extremely smart and aesthetically pleasing. The heating system was good, we had a v comfy bed with excellent bed linen, the lounge seating was great, wifi top was top notch and there was a smart tv too, so we could log into our own account. We were left alone, even though the owners were “on site” and that was great for us. We would love to return to Ivy Barn & we wholeheartedly thank our hosts for such a great experience.
