Holiday home is beautiful with great sized garden for kids to play. The estate also has a good playground for children. Within 15 minutes drive of the house there are so many excellent attractions. Garden furniture was a bit poor but the house had everything else you could possibly need.

We had a great time. Everything was as we had expected. Only complaint or suggestion outside furniture was poor, could have done with sun chairs or sun beds.

We had a lovely stay at Birch Cottage. It was well equipped, clean and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Our two granddaughters loved the hot tub especially when it snowed one evening. They had fun at Landmark, a trip on the steam train and the local Escape Room. Birch Cottage proved a great base for a relaxing few days with our family.
