Set within 55 acres of nature, just 30 mins from London, Birch is part hotel, part foodie haven, part members’ club, part working space, part wellness getaway, part creative hub, and all parts fun.
Sleep sound.
Birch (handle.silk.comet) is full of cool and creatively crafted bedrooms. Some small and cosy. Others large and light – ideal for a family takeover or a friend’s sleepover.
Whatever you pick, one GIANT bed awaits.
Eat well. Really well.
From The Zebra Riding Club our star attraction (FYI: it’s open to anyone, no need to be a guest or member) to the Lido Kitchen making Mexican. The Tipi hosting pop up eats . Valeries doing all-day dining. And bars all over the place doing low, no, and lip-smackingly good cocktails and drinks.
We will sustain you from breakfast through to dinner.
Take it easy. But take it.
Members and guests can enjoy a whole host of freebie fun.
There’s the Screening Room showing classics, blockbusters, docs and more. The Interactive Bakery for croissants and cakes. Or the Arcade, Music Room, and Art Studio to play in.
Push it. Push it real good.
Head to the Wellness Space to sweat, stretch, and cycle.
Work out in the morning. Try a treatment in the afternoon.
Stay young. Stay fun.
Enjoy a stacked programme of creative workshops (like axe throwing, bread baking, and clay pot making), weekly events (e.g. bingo, live DJs, and fresh comedy), colossal celebrations (see summer festivals and Bank Holiday shindigs), and school holiday activities (like Young Adventurers Club or Kids Art Club).
All in a day’s work.
The Hub is our communal working space. Take a call, write some emails, do some reading.
You can book a private meeting room for an hour or day. Or host a company away-day, launch, or event (you don’t need to be a member or guest to organise something for your company).
Wet, wet, wet.
Dip, sip or kip at our outdoor Lido.
Open to members and guests, expect refreshing rosés, poolside DJs, and outrageous unicorn inflatables.
Go slow and savour.
Walk, roam, or run around 55 acres of nature. There are trails to take, woods to get lost in, and foraging or gardening to try. Meet the pigs, say hi to the hens, count some sheep.

The dream ticket
Switch off from the noise and pressures of daily life in our well-crafted, warm, and carefully considered rooms. The biggest beds we could fit in a room, and brand new Simba mattresses, mean we’ve made you the perfect bed… Now lie in it.
Work out. Wander around. Make things, bake things, play things.
From The Zebra Riding Club, Valeries, & our drinks bars, there’s plenty on the menu.
Sunday night’s on us
Craving a weekend break? Book for Friday and Saturday night, and get Sunday night on us. You don’t have to use it. We just feel that extra night allows you to settle into Sunday so you can make the most of your weekend.
