the room was not as clean, there were cobwebs in the room and the bathroom smell.
The staff was very helpful. The breakfast was very good.
Stayed in quiet a few hotels over night this one was the best so far, well pleased clean modern nice beds nice shower & bath etc good breakfast would recommend
Clean, comfortable, peaceful room in a classical, Regency style hotel. Buffet breakfast was more than sufficient and served in a lovely dining room. All the staff were friendly and efficient and i cant recommend this hotel highly enough.
Lovely hotel , staff were very helpful and friendly, breakfast was plentiful and nice, room was nicely decorated and spacious,
The wardrobes and chest of drawers were dated but apart from that all good

Very dated, needs a refurb. Beautiful building with lots of potential. Needs better toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was lovely. Taxis came instantly.
Everyone was really helpful. A little tired in public areas would be only issue. We had a problem regulating the temperature in the shower, but they allowed us to use another unoccupied room to have our showers. Breakfast was great quality and taste.
Fast check in, clean room, friendly and helpful staff. It's not the fanciest hotel in the world, but it isn't claiming to be. Good range of tea/coffee in the room, comfy bed, and easy to use air conditioning in the room. Walking distance to a small town centre with lots of food options, and literally next door to a petrol station if you just wanted a snack. Would definitely stay again.
Great breakfast, friendly staff, recommended hotel.

I have been staying at the Birch Hotel for years. It’s comfortable and clean but what I like is it has character not like a typical plastic hotel! Staff always give a warm welcome and helpful with special requests. Bar food is ok a little on the pricey side (maybe normal though these days) and basic but something for everyone. As it is close to the town centre I expect a lot of guests generate towards the high street restaurants so no need for a more comprehensive menu. A nice place to wind down after a days work ( in my case).
