Beautiful day at Covesea lighthouse beach today. Looking for a break then why not try the Highlands, beautiful beaches, sand dunes, great weather, Cornwall but without the crowds

Went a bit further afield today, 22 miles to Nairn which is an old fishing village. Three lovely beaches, sand dunes, grassy banks, harbour (with cafes), play area and guillemots

Hello and a belated Happy Christmas to you all. After 9 eventful years at Birchenfields we have sold most of the property retaining only the Katie and Damien's barn conversion. We have had an amazing time running and improving the cottages over the years but we have now moved to Scotland where we have bought a B&B in Elgin in beautiful Moray. So we haven't given up on hospitality just changed location and direction.

We would like to thank all our guest for helping us build Birchenfields into a lovely place to stay and perhaps we will see some of you again at Willowbank in Elgin when we open for business in the spring. For our many repeat guests we are sure that the new owners Alison and Roger would love to welcome you back to Birchenfields. If you would like us to pass on any requests for holiday dates we are happy to do so.

For anyone fancying a permanent move to the Birchenfields area of Staffordshire Katie and Damien's 3 bed barn conversion is now up for sale with just short of half an acre of land - on RightMove

Hello lovely people,the cottages are clean, picnic tables painted, white lines freshened up, and now i'm finishing off our new (yet to be released) digital guest book. I've done places to eat (when allowed), etc but now I need your help - what places did you go to and love when you stayed here? Please let me know.

Hello to you all,

Thinking of getting rid of our wardrobes in the main bedroom and replacing them with something like in the picture. Anybody have an opinion for or against - please let us know

12/03/2021

As most of you know our holiday cottages have names, The Corn Store, The Dairy and the Hereford. However the meeting room is just called "the meeting room" and we don't really like it being called "the meeting room", we need an alternative. Anyone any suggestions please?

02/03/2021

Hello everyone, we are so looking forward to opening again next month but we think our meeting room could do with a new name, hopefully something to reflect what we offer. Open to suggestions, please hit us with your ideas.
