Very good,and just what we needed for the purpose of out visit.
A comfortable ,clean, very light and quiet space to spend time in ,while my daughter recovered from wisdom teeth surgery.
The 3rd (steaming ?) saucepan noted on the inventory was not in evidence. And I did find the level of lighting a little low for reading at night in the living area. These things were very minor annoyances,and didn't really impact on our stay .

We had a great stay at Birches. Just love the little out door garden and location. The IGA has a great selection of up market food. Just a little feedback: 1. A place to put toilet bags in the bathroom would have been nice.
2. Not being picky but a new shower curtain would help to smartin up the old looking bathroom.

I was only at my apartment to sleep but a lot of effort has obviously been put into making the apartments a comfortable, affordable option. Staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Myself and my partner had an excellent time along with our 2 year old cocker spaniel Betty. The staff were lovely and welcomed us as well as our dog which was a really lovely. The apartment was clean and tidy, and contrary to what other reviewers mentioned on the internet as "lots of noise from the street" we found that the traffic was not loud at all and had peaceful sleeps throughout out stay. Thanks everyone at Birches!

An ideal location. Very impressed with the standard of the room and having easy parking outside your room was excellent. Would definately recommend it to friends and family.

Excellent. The only problem I perceived was the lack of rubbish collection with no outside bin to put rubbish in. We ended up with the outside table covered in bags of rubbish. (couldn't put them at ground level because of 22 month old grandchild). Assumed that a serviced apartment would remove this daily. Other than that, everyhting was excellent, from the house accomodation, to staff, to location of tram stops, to local IGA availailable etc Would certainly book again and recommend this accomodation to other people.

Kathy,
