    "Birch lodge was exactly as described with everything we needed for our week away."

    We received a warm welcome from Adam, the owner and he checked everything was ok when we saw him again the next day. We had a comfortable bed and the hot tub was lovely. The property was very clean and the welcome hamper was very much appreciated. A great setting with lots to do in the local and wider area. Would absolutely recommend a stay at Steam Mill Lodges.

    Super easy to get in and out of site , with things like Twycross zoo a short drive away (which was amazing). The hot tub was amazing and the views from our lodge were beautiful.

    Me and my partner were welcomed with a little welcome basket which was a lovely touch. The lodge was very clean when we arrived and couldn’t fault it at all. The fairy lights above the hot tub just topped off every evening which made the lodge more stunning
