The Birchtree Hotel

Our company booked multi rooms across a 5 day period to house our crew working nearby on a large event. The hotel was perfect for our needs - clean and tidy! Breakfast was always a pleasure and there was plenty of good options. The bar area was very well received and we particularly enjoyed the Karaoke night with DJ Lee - even if our live performances weren't quite Glastonbury level! We felt we gave the long haired rocker behind the bar a run for his money though lol All in all, a very pleasant stay and we will be back! Recommended.

Staff were very welcoming & friendly, they are a credit to the hotel, bar & restaurant. Had the Highlander burger for dinner, which was amazingly good. Breakfast was nice too. Food & drink were very reasonably priced. Room was very clean & good overall. However, we both had a terrible night’s sleep due to the oppressive heat. We ensured the heating was turned off when we arrived as we felt it immediately & left the window open all night. Unfortunately, the clock tower on the opposite side of the road is ridiculous loud through an open window & the fan provided was about as powerful as a warm fart on its highest setting. We heard every chime of the clock from midnight until we left for breakfast at 8am. We also noticed that it was hot in the hotel corridors generally as the heating was on everywhere. I assume the heat is a known issue, because there was no duvet on the bed (only a sheet) & the duvet was stored in the cupboard. The lack of sleep made for a very difficult 7.5hr drive home the following day, which was disappointing as the purpose of the stay was to break up a long journey & be well rested. If the heating issue is resolved this hotel would be one I’d happily recommend. My genuine recommendation that would make any future stay pleasurable would be to save money & turn the heating down in communal areas & invest in some better quality fans for the room.

Visited with 2 elderly relatives.We have been years ago and decided to go for an early Mother's Day lunch.The food was fantastic,from the steak pie with the most tender steak to the open steak sandwich both served with home made chips.One of the elderly women had ham and cheese toastie but it was gorgeous thick cut cooked ham in it,she loved it so much she took the leftovers home. Very clean,promptly served and very reasonably priced.Give it a go,you will not be disappointed.
