Property Description:
The Birches has succeeded in creating a refined yet casual ambience in each of its quite different suites and cottages. All are very suitable for couples for a romantic, relaxing getaway, although Birch Cottage does have a second bedroom if required. There are spas throughout.

The Attic comprises the top floor of the three storey Birch Manor. It has more of a “penthouse” feel with its great interior space, a generous balcony and fantastic view. Soaring, timber lined ceilings make it a very grand attic and the furnishings complete the very tasteful interior design. The lower ground floor of Birch Manor, known as The Basement, is warm and inviting with a yellow colour theme, a romantic gas log fire, a pretty garden outlook and a truly delightful ambience. Wren Cottage is a cosy hideaway for two, with a slightly more romantic touch to the décor, a private shady verandah with an extended sun deck and separate gazebo. Birch Cottage can accommodate four persons and enjoys views of Lake Daylesford on one side and gardens on the other. This cottage has a special country charm to its interior design and furnishings. The cottages each have their own private garden setting.

Beautiful established gardens are not uncommon in the area, and the property grounds at The Birches contribute to this reputation. A diverse collection of birch trees is complemented with a profusion of mature shrubs, roses, lavender and box hedges.
