Birch Hill Clock Tower

Amazing stay once again. Beautiful apartment, great communication from the host, friendly and helpful, this place is a gem!!...We love having a cheeky stay over, really relaxing.

What i don't like is,the fact I don't live there permanently .

The building itself was lovely. We’ve stayed in a different place by the same owner before and it wasn’t great, but gave the benefit of the doubt because seemed liked a nice guy, and this apartment on paper/photos appeared better (fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me I guess) Problems: bathroom ‘big time’ bad plumbing, awful shower, runs either cold or super hot, no shower grip Matt so quite dangerous, can’t even use the bath because small water tank makes it impossible - shower issues mentioned many times in previous reviews but nothing done. However the shower did break whilst we were staying and the owner came over and fixed it quickly, as I said before he is a nice guy. Poorly equipped kitchen, scratched up pans that hadn’t been cleaned, dirty mugs, not enough equipment to make a decent meal, not even a colander to wash veg, freezer needs defrosting, kitchen cupboards a bit grubby ie sticky handles, place was also dusty and my husband has asthma so not good. At least an attempt was made for Christmas though and we had a lit tree so some ambience. Other positives were the views from the building and it was lovely watching the fireworks everywhere on New Years Eve. Price was too high for what you actually got.

All explained above

The apartment is absolutely beautiful, the views are amazing. The bed is super comfy, and the host is really helpful giving all the info we may need. I am local anyway but fancied a night away, we enjoyed it that much and looked the apartment I have been looking to see if there is any to rent or buy, will definitely be booking again to stay.

Everything was absolutely spot on.

Apartment was clean and cosy but big enough for the two of us, with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. Kitchen was well equipped and had complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits. Bed was comfy, plenty of pillows. Towels and toiletries in the bathroom were a good bonus in a self catering apartment. I had read from other reviews that the shower was a bit tricky, but the owner had sent precise instructions and this worked a treat! Great communication from the owner - we had one small issue, but it was dealt with quickly, so it didn't turn into a problem. Thank you! This is a quiet apartment, in a lovely, restored historical building in a pleasant residential area. It's a good base to explore from and is close to local amenities, 10 minutes walk to the train station. We stayed here to be close to relatives we were visiting. Really happily with our choice!
