Birches Lodge offers a tranquil and picturesque setting, ideal for a relaxing getaway or as a base to explore North Wales. Guests consistently praise the beautiful location, helpful staff, spacious lodges, and the hot tubs. While some lodges have been recently renovated to a high standard, others are in need of refurbishment and maintenance. Cleanliness and comfort are generally good, though a few reviews mention areas for improvement. Overall, the property provides a peaceful and enjoyable stay, with ongoing improvements noted by guests.
Many guests found the lodges clean and tidy, especially those that had been recently renovated. However, several reviews mention issues such as cobwebs, mould in bathrooms, dirty rugs, and the need for deep cleaning in some lodges. Cleanliness appears to vary depending on the specific lodge and its renovation status.
The location is widely praised as beautiful, peaceful, and ideal for exploring the local area. Guests appreciate the rural setting, scenic views, and proximity to Llangollen and local attractions. Wildlife and tranquil surroundings are frequently highlighted as standout features.
Guests generally found the lodges spacious and cosy, with comfortable beds and relaxing hot tubs. However, some reviews mention worn or broken furniture, uncomfortable beds in certain lodges, and occasional noise from boilers. Comfort is excellent in renovated lodges but can be inconsistent elsewhere.
Facilities such as hot tubs, BBQs, and spacious living areas are appreciated. However, several guests report maintenance issues, including broken furniture, non-functioning log burners, and bathrooms needing repair. Renovated lodges offer improved facilities, but ongoing refurbishment is needed across the site.
Some guests noted the provision of essentials like towels and bedding, and staff were described as very helpful. However, there were comments about a lack of handwash, limited toilet rolls, and no welcome gifts. While a few personal touches were appreciated, gifts or extras are not guaranteed.

Like I previously said it’s a great location for being out the way yet so close by to everything. Yes we had a lodge that’s not being renovated but the site is lovely and you can see they’re working on all the lodge’s one at a time. Definitely look to come again
Daniella
As per my previous review. Views around the lodges is stunning, nice and peaceful however the lodge itself is run down and in need of repair and a deep clean. For the prices being charged I don't think it matches what is being paid
Ryan
