Guests need to take the essentials like bath and hand towels, salt and pepper, hand soap, dishcloth and spare tea towels. Nice location, comfy furniture, plenty of hot water.

We had a very enjoyable few days in Birch Lodge. Lovely peaceful location but with easy access to nearby towns, villages and countryside walks. Beds were comfortable, as was the rest of the lodge. Lovely decking area, though the sun goes behind the trees about 2pm. Plenty of interesting places to visit round about. Excellent play area for childreRead moren adjoining Masham cricket Club. Hide

Our 2nd visit to this beautiful lodge. The setting is perfect and ideal for those who want peace and quiet in a beautiful countryside setting. Only 4 lodges on this spacious site which has been very carefully laid out to secure maximum privacy for each of the lodges. The lodge is "pet friendly" we don't have a pet so wouldn't usually choose one buRead moret this had absolutely no trace of any pets every being there. All the furnishings were light coloured and still not a trace. Hide

Lovely lodge in a very peaceful and quiet location. We were wary about booking as this is a pet friendly lodge and we don't have pets but, despite very light coloured furnishings, there was no evidence whatsoever of any pets being there. Not one solitary dog hair and no odour whatsoever. Credit to the person who looks after this lodge, the standarRead mored of cleanliness is very high. Great wi-fi connection too. Hide

The property was clean and tidy, the location perfect, very quiet and peaceful. The deck was ideal for our two large dogs to relax on, and the area was very dog friendly. We would definitely book again, and recommend to family and friends.
