Guests say
Birch Lodge receives glowing praise for its peaceful setting, immaculate cleanliness, and welcoming hosts. Guests consistently highlight the relaxing hot tub, well-equipped and cosy interiors, and the unique charm of daily visits from peacocks, chickens, and alpacas. The lodge is described as a perfect base for exploring the Lake District, with easy access to Ulverston and nearby attractions. Minor issues, such as a worn TV remote and kitchen flooring, are mentioned but do not detract from overwhelmingly positive experiences. The property is highly recommended for families and those seeking a tranquil countryside retreat.
Cleanliness is repeatedly praised, with guests describing the lodge as spotless, sparkling clean, and maintained to a very high standard. Several reviewers mention not needing their own cleaning products and note that the hot tub is cleaned daily.
The location is widely appreciated for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to Ulverston and the Lake District. Guests enjoy the peaceful countryside setting while still being a short drive from shops and attractions. A few mention the lack of immediate walking routes, but this is a minor point.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests describing the lodge as cosy, homely, and well-insulated. Beds are noted as comfortable, and the lodge is equipped for both families and couples seeking relaxation.
Facilities are highly rated, with the hot tub, kitchen amenities, and appliances like dishwasher and washer/dryer frequently mentioned. The presence of animals adds to the experience. Minor maintenance issues, such as a worn TV remote and kitchen flooring, are noted but do not significantly impact satisfaction.
Hosts are described as responsive, helpful, and welcoming. Some guests mention thoughtful touches, such as a complimentary meal due to on-site work; however, such gifts are not guaranteed for all stays.

The lodge was in a lovely quiet location with stunning views over the hills. We really enjoyed the friendly peacocks, chickens and alpacas. We used the hot tub every evening after a busy day exploring. Good distance to supermarket and petrol station. An easy drive to Windermere and Coniston. We have National Trust membership which meant we could park for free most places. As previously mentioned, the tv remote needs replacing, but this is such a tiny thing. We had a wonderful holiday!

This was our second time at Dale Garth Lodges and we had lovely time again. Such a beautiful spot, very relaxing. The children loved seeing the animals and feeding them. Good location to explore the Lake District. The lodge was comfortable and cozy, has everything you need for your stay. Enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. We would definitely recommend.

Enjoyed a fabulous 4-night family break at Birch Lodge. Impeccably clean, everything you could need and more! Peaceful, private and wonderfully relaxing. Not much within short walking distance but everything you could ask for within a short drive. Definitely recommend!
