    “Firstly the outside lights wasn't working correctly then for the other 3 nights wouldn't even turn on which didn't give us much light in the hot tub.”

    On Monday the alarm that was detecting gas starting going off as we were about to leave to go for food we was unable to contact yourself as we had no welcome pack/book so contacted sykes direct who never informed us of an outcome.

    On Monday the alarm that was detecting gas starting going off as we were about to leave to go for food we was unable to contact yourself as we had no welcome pack/book so contacted sykes direct who never informed us of an outcome. We returned to find the detector had just been removed from the property with no information to say why it was alarming which worried us slightly to be staying in the lodge with a potential gas leak. Also on the listing it said there is a log fire in the property with a starter pack of wood and lighters, we arrived to find there wasn't which was a little disappointing. One other little thing is I'd state on the listing is there is absolutely no provision for hand wash, washing up liquid/tablets just so people know to bring.

The property

Dolton 2.9 miles.

Silver Birch is nestled within the Strafford Moor Fishery Lodge site, near the village of Dolton and the town of Winkleigh, Devon.

With serene countryside views enveloped around, it makes an idyllic escape for families seeking to immerse themselves around nature, unwind in the hot tub, or for fishing enthusiasts.

Stepping over the threshold, be delighted by the tastefully-presented interior, with a generous open-plan living space making it a real social hub of the property, all while looking out to the picture-postcard landscape from the decking.

Before unpacking, take a dip in the hot tub and indulge in a moment of tranquillity while the chef cooks up a storm.

The kitchen is not shy of amenities needed to rustle up a home-cooked meal, with floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a light and airy feel.

When its time to serve, head outside and indulge in a spot of alfresco-style dining, or lay the dining table and toast to an unforgettable holiday.

When nighttime rolls around, retire in either a double room or a twin, both boasting en-suite bathrooms to freshen up in privacy.

Whether you're a night owl sat on the decking getting lost in the starry skies above, or a morning person immersing yourself with the tranquil views of the land afar and towards one of the fishing lakes, Silver Birch is a perfect base for a memory-filled holiday.
