Stayed here for a long weekend in April 2012. Room spacious and beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. En suite on the small side but more than adequate. This is the first floor front with the large bay window. Breakfasts are excellent and full choice with nothing seeming to be too much trouble. Heather and Ken are excellent hosts, not in... More

We visited this B & B for a couple of nights in March 2012, whilst visiting the area on holiday. The owners were very hospitable and the breakfasts were very tasty. The rooms are beautifully decorated. It was reasonably priced and is strongly recommended. More

When we knew hubby would be working in Portsmouth we selected this B & B based on trip advisor reviews and its central location. From the warm welcome we received on our arrival to the moment we left 4 days later we both felt completely at home. We were allocated room 5 at the top of the house which faces... More

We have returned to the Birchwood a further 2 or even 3 times since our first reviewed visit on here so felt it was justifiable in providing a further review.

I would like to say what a fantastic Guest House Heather and Ken run. I was in a single room, with shower, t.v. tea and coffee facilities, plenty of room if you are on your own, spotlessly clean and tidy, and the Full English breakfast in the morning set you up for the day. If you are on a tight... More

This is what a B and B should be like! Very clean rooms, excellent breakfast and incredibly friendly and helpful hosts. We stayed while house-hunting and we were very grateful for the local knowledge we were given. May thanks! More
