What our customers say about their holidays

  We arrived in glorious sunshine and I immediately went exploring the garden which was massive, and I mean MASSIVE!

  ! It had a wonderful mix of wildlife with some areas left untouched and all the wild flowers were in full bloom, and some areas which were beautifully maintained but still had a hint of wild about them. There were bird boxes all over the property which as far as I could tell were all occupied and we even saw (at a distance) some baby Blue Tits poking their heads out of one. As for the cottage itself it was absolutely beautiful with the kitchen and bathroom downstairs and the front room and bedroom upstairs giving fantastic views of the garden out of one side, and views across the fields out of the other. There was a welcome pack which included a large bag of crisps, a box of Cadburys Roses, some top notch chocolate biscuits, a pack of hot cross buns, a bottle of red wine (which was delicious), milk and orange juice in the fridge, and a selection of tea bags (Yorkshire Tea) and coffee bags (Taylor’s of Harrogate) which was a really nice touch. There was even a vase of fresh tulips upstairs. Everything in the cottage was very modern and there was absolutely everything that two people would need for a weeks holiday. The hosts were marvellous and didn’t try to impose on you but were there if you needed to ask anything, and they had the cutest little puppy who was just 10 weeks old. Oh, did I mention the mill pond? The garden was so vast that it included the old mill pond which was a haven for wild birds such as Mallard, Coot, Tufted Duck, Moorhen, and there were Pied Wagtail, House Martin, Grey Wagtail, Great Tit, Blackbird etc around the stream that flowed off it. You could even hear the Pheasants calling from the fields next door. By the way, it was just a 9 minute drive to Sherwood Forest which has many walking trails. All in all Riverside Lodge is a fantastic place to stay whether you go for a day or a week. Wonderful!!

  Very rural setting in the village of Misterton.

  Plenty of scenic walks without having to take your vehicle out with you. Would be great for cyclists (we didn't take ours). The views from the lodge are amazing, hardly anything but stunning countryside. The lodge was brand new for our stay (May 2021). It has a very cosy seating area both inside and out, a very usable kitchen. We found we didn't need to pack anything out of the ordinary for our break. The hot tub is great to chill out in and rest your feet after a day of the Great British outdoors! If your thinking of going a bit further afield there is a local taxi company, be warned it's a one man operation so if your used to ordering a taxi and getting picked up in 10 minutes, you may want to pre-book some trips. Malcolm, his name is and he gave us pretty much a guided tour of the area, as he took us out to Bawtry. Would recommend this trip if you can spare a day or evening of your Holiday! There's a full size snooker table and fussball table on site and books and dvds in the lodge if you feel like relaxing on site. The owners where lovely and very helpful, all the best to Michelle and Geoff, you guys did a fantastic job for us!

  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!!!

  We had a lovely couple of nights away in this beautiful cottage.

  The welcome pack was a very nice gesture and much appreciated. The cottage itself was beautiful and exactly like the pictures, we had no issues at all whilst we were there. The garden was a dream, our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! We were both worried about wifi due to work commitments but it worked perfectly, we also did some cooking whilst we were out there and the kitchen was very well equipped. I did need a blender to make a cheesecake and the lovely owner was able to give me a blender from their property for this! It is truly such a beautiful place and we will definitely be coming back in the future as we both really enjoyed our short stay! Thank you for the hospitality :) Rajan and Sharmin

  What a beautiful stay!

  The lodge is fabulous, well equipped. Couldn't have asked for more! We almost didn't book as I wasn't sure there was a bath and I just love to have one, but there was! And it was so pleasant. Shower not extremely powerful but not a problem. Only other thing that got me was a few spiders and cobwebs but it was a November trip so that could be a factor. SO glad there was parking! The lodge is easy enough to find with the postcode and so close to local things like Cresswell Crags and the Holbeck gallery etc. We had a fabulous few day trips and it's not too far from Clumber Park and Sherwood Forest, and it was lovely coming back to this lodge which really felt like a home. Thanks so much.
