Sunnyside, Bircher Common

What a truly magical and festive Christmas stay our family had! The cottage is full of character, beautifully clean and felt so warm and welcoming the perfect place for our family to spend Christmas together. From the stunning winter views and countryside walks to relaxing evenings in the hot tub. We absolutely loved the cosy nights in, playing lots of games and enjoying festive movie nights all snuggled together on the big sofa memories well treasure forever. Thank you, Dave, for being such a wonderful host and for all your help throughout our stay. Youve given us the most perfect Christmas 2025, and we cant wait to return again.

This is our third stay this year, the accommodation is beautiful, with every high end convenience you need to make it so very comfortable. The hot tub and log fire just perfect after a day out exploring. The area is so very peaceful with walks right from the door, to take in beautiful scenery. Its also well placed to take in surrounding counties and markets town with wonderful independent shopping and eateries. We are planning a fourth visit next year.

Wonderful property. Great location. This was our second stay, we will be back!

Beautiful house in a gorgeous location. Every last detail has been well thought out and catered for. The kitchen was well equipped, the hot tub was a lovely temperature and there was plenty of space for us 4 adults and 2 little ones for 4 nights for a really comfortable and enjoyable stay. The setting was fabulous. Lovely and quiet with amazing views from every angle. The kids have absolutely loved getting out and about during the day exploring and spending lovely, warm evenings playing games. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us! We hope to visit again soon

This is a very comfortable and well equipped property in a quiet common location. The kitchen is outstanding and the beds , settees and other furniture would grace any home Ludlow is a must visit with its castle , history river and beautiful architecture It is also a good start point for many stunning walks after which the hot tub came into its own ! There are many excellent pubs and restaurants within a quick drive. The owners Dave and Joanne could not have been more helpful All in all highly recommended

Sunnyside is absolutely beautiful! The location makes for an exciting arrival and once inside, the space provided is just WOW! It is spacious, very clean and has everything, and more, that you need for a relaxing holiday. We felt immediately relaxed and comfortable and loved being able to sit outside on the balconies listening to the wildlife and, at night, stargazing. The hot tub was lovely and just what we needed after days out walking. The house is central, we felt, to a lot of interesting places to visit and coming back after a day out was just a joy. The kitchen was a pleasure to use and there was everything we needed to cook meals every evening and eating breakfast looking out into the trees was a fabulous way to start the day. Thank you for creating such a wonderful home. It's definitely on our 'return to' list.

The house was as described, very well appointed and the recent addition of the hot tub was enjoyed by our whole family! There are wonderful walks to be had immediately from the property and the surroundings are beautiful. The drive to the property is a bit rough but you certainly dont need a 4x4! We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend sunnyside to anyone.

We had a fab week at Sunnyside the pictures on the listing are lovely but it's even better in reality. This was the best holiday home we've booked the property is wonderful, finished to a v high standard, spotlessly clean, super comfortable, very cosy with a brilliantly equipped kitchen. The hot tub was very popular too. We were lucky enough to have the local pig and sheep visit the garden gate too. The surroundings offer stunning scenic walks. It was the perfect retreat to truly switch off and relax. We had great meals out fairly locally and a nice day out in nearby Ludlow v pretty town. The track to the house was ok we have a low car you just have to go slow and keep as far over as you can. Would 100 recommend Sunnyside and would very happily return for another visit in future.

We have just returned from a fabulous two week stay in one of the loveliest houses. Sunnysides position of Bircher Common was excellent and led to fantastic walks, many animal encounters and amazing night sky star watching. We were well placed to take advantage of numerous places of interest locally and a little further afield. The house itself was truly impressive with so much thought put into its design and functionality. From the very well equipped kitchen, with every device you could wish to use, thro to the technology for leisure. We could not find fault with anything. Dave the owner was very approachable and knowledgeable about the area and great things to see and do. The hottub was spotless and well managed and we wouldnt have changed a single thing about Sunnyside. An excellent retreat to relax in and make great memories.

We absolutely loved every minute spent at Sunnyside. This was such a beautiful and well thought out accommodation. Our family was very comfortable here, and it had absolutely we could possibly need for a break away with young children too. We have a 5 month old, and even a cot and highchair was provided. The walks and views are breathtaking, and then to come back after a day out to this beautiful warm cosy place and relax in the hot tub was amazing. We can not wait to book again. We have already recommended to family and friends.

An absolutely wonderful cottage in a stunning location that we will absolutely be returning to in the future a very easy 10 out of 10!

We have just returned from our second stay here and within hours of arriving booked our third. The property is beautiful, the location, whilst off the beaten track and on a road fitting for a 4x4 vehicle, is in the centre of amazing scenery, nature, birds, wildlife and beautiful walks from the door. The house and outdoor spaces are completely private, even though there are just a few properties close by. The amenities are first class, all the furniture, towels, bedding, appliances are of the highest quality too. The hot tub and outside spaces are just perfect for relaxing in the sunshine. After a roam in the countryside, or a pootle out to one of the beautiful surrounding towns, a bite to eat out, we would return each evening for a dip in the hot tub, a BBQ, drinks on the family room balcony, then it was up to the bedroom balcony with a bed time cuppa whilst watching the dusk and the listening to birdsong, then watching the stars under a clear sky. It was a blissful stay and we cant wait to enjoy the cottage in the winter too, with the log burner to unwind in front of.

Our third visit to this unique property, now even better with the hot tub so we have already booked 2 weeks next year!

Fantastic property. Really well equipped and great attention to detail. House is immaculately clean. Towels and bed linen of high quality. Hot tub towels provided again high quality. Amazing place lots of local attractions will definitely return.

Sunnyside is a beautiful place to stay with everything you need for a fantastic time away, including a 6 person hot tub, patio, garden and BBQ. It was very well equipped, which was lovely. It was on the edge of a common, so would be perfect for walks. Very beautiful scenery from the top of the hill, next to the cottage and a very, very nice cottage itself. Not too far to walk to the local village also beautiful and a 1520 minute drive into Ludlow or Leaminster.

Our second visit to Sunnyside we enjoyed our stay, perfect location and a lovely property. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful,would recommend Sunnyside for anybody looking for a great location and a tranquil area.

I think a shower or something to be hosed down for the hottub downstairs rather than going up and down

The house was incredibly well equipped, clean and comfortable. Excellent communication from the owner, including instructions of getting to the property.

Just wow! As active walkers and hikers, We take least 2 cottage holiday breaks each year, staying in areas we have not explored before. We chose this cottage in an area new to us, it had everything included to make it a perfect getaway and amazing walks from the door. On arrival our expectations went far and above the listing description, the cottage is so beautiful in its entirety, very comfortably furnished with quality items too, state of the art appliances as well as a log burner and probably the best hot tub we have had the benefit of using after a long day walking. The cottage is bright and airy and even in late winter getting out onto one of the two balconies is a must to enjoy the abundance of birdsong and not much else. We loved it so much from the moment we arrived, it was less than 24 hours and we had it booked again for early summer, theres so much to be enjoyed both on the property and in the surrounding area.

Fantastic property with quality fixtures and fittings. Amazing location on the common. Loved it, already booked again!

We had such a great stay at Sunnyside. It is a beautiful spacious cottage and we loved the setting where we saw deer and sheep regularly passingvthe cottage. We even saw the 2 wild biar from afar. It has a very well equipped kitchen and the set up in the cottage made it feel really homely. We would love to visit again.

This place was great, and had all we needed. The open fire and the hottub were amazing. We would definitely come back again and have already recommend it to all our friends and family. Only negative is the bunk bed is very small for an adult.

Fabulous property with quality fixtures and fittings from the appliances and crockery to the towels and bedding. Enjoyed our stay immensely, everything we needed to cook and the big sofa with TV and the hot tub were great. Very quiet, relaxing location with sheep, deer and the pig all of which we saw. Short drive to Ludlow for shops and restaurants. Would thoroughly recommend and hope to be back.

Spacious and well designed home from home. Comfortable bedroom with views of the valley from the veranda. A choice of shower or bath large enough for two if you want to. The hot tub was a welcome addition to warmup in at the end of the day. The log burner too was something we made good use of when we got snowed in. Easy access to the common for walking and several nearby National Trust properties and towns to visit.

Sunnyside is a lovely cottage. It has some great amenities, the addition of a hot tub was a welcome surprise! It has all the things needed to have a peaceful and relaxing time. The hosts were very caring and kind.

The cottage was very comfortable and well appointed. It was well equipped with everything you need for a lovely stay. Would highly recommend for a peaceful quiet stay.

First time staying here, WOW its a stunning place, real log fire plenty ... First time staying here, WOW its a stunning place, real log fire plenty supplied, amazing hot tub which we used and enjoyed really relaxing just what the doctor orderedthere is a BBQ area in the grounds trees make it private beautiful surroundings the beds were so comfortable , big enough for 6 people stay or a romantic couple retreat for 2 its simply stunning and will book again thank you So much

Such a great setting! Plenty of outdoor walks straight from the door onto Bircher common with nearby attractions like Croft castle and a bit further Hergest ridge with glorious panoramic views.Sunnyside cottage is a lovely and inviting house, well planned out. Comfy sofas comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. We all had a great time there, would highly recommend.

Second time at Sunnyside Cottage! Beautiful place, very clean and the weather was very kind to us! So we enjoyed BBQ listening to the birds singing and the well kept garden! Definitely be back!

Sunnyside is a fantastic house, with lovely views and nice walks around the common. The road up to the cottage is bumpy as stated, but you get used to it. The house is home from home and has a relaxing feel to it, great to sit out on the decking area and listen to the birds singing and watch the sunset with a glass of fizz in your hand. Sheep and pigs do walk pass the cottage, so always make sure the gate is doubled locked. Plenty of places to visit. Yarpole the bell community pub is very friendly and nice food. Also the community shop in Yarpole is well stocked and the volunteers are friendly. A lovely house to relax and recharge and we will be planning another visit.

This was our second visit to Sunnyside and it is a super house in a fabulous location, detached from the outside world and accessed by a long unmetalled track! It is very well equipped and very comfortable. The third bedroom with bunk beds would be a bit cramped for adults but not a concern for us. Plenty of attractions in the area and Croft Castle is next door and worth several visits if you are NT members. An ideal rural hideaway!

The property is spacious, really comfortable, and wellequipped. the beds are very comfortable and the shower is fantastic! Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough for us to enjoy sitting out on the balcony or terrace, but it would have been lovely to eat al fresco if the weather was up to it. We enjoyed a couple of lovely local walks with fantastic scenery. The house is in a great location, very secluded and quiet. You do have to drive up a very bumpy track to reach it, which we didn't mind after the first time, but people should be aware of this. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would definitely recommend the property.

Didn't realise there was no washing machine until we reread the details. Weather was fine so it didn't matter. I can imagine that visitors with a low sports car would have struggled because of the condition of the approach road. We could see some recent repairs to the track though. We didn't use the lounge because of the food and drink restrictions. The accommodation is very spacious and the deck areas are fantastic in good weather. The setting is wonderful and in the middle of hundreds of acres of woodland and common in a very scenic part of Britain.

We loved our stay at Sunnyside. The house is lovely cosy but spacious, characterful but with all the modern luxuries. We really enjoyed the position, with the most wonderful birdsong to wake up to, and the stars were really vivid. Spotting the deer out of the window was a highlight for the children, who absolutely loved their room and the garden. We'd really recommend a stay here. The track to the house is long and bumpy, but taking it slowly we personally didn't have any issues with it.

Spent an amazing week over Xmas at Sunnyside with family. This is my second stay at the cottage this year and it didn't fail to impress again! The kitchen is so well equipped and everything has been considered from gin glasses, serving dishes to a hand blender, which made cooking Xmas dinner effortless. Lovely walks from the doorstep, we walked across the common to The Maidenhead pub about 45 mins on Xmas eve and had a really good meal. Seeing the loval black pig at thebgarden gate is always one of the highlights! I could go on and on about how amazing this place is, the log burner which heated the entire house all week we didn't use the central heating once! real Xmas tree and other festive decorations, the freindly neighbours and owner who popped by to check everything was okay, the stunning location, the amazing power shower, the comfortable beds and not least the luxurious and spacious accommodation where everything has been considered and which ticks every box! I look forward to returning

Extremely well equipped with high quality throughout. Lovely surroundings and within a radius of about 30 miles from many interesting places to visit. As mentioned by others the access road is typically a little rough, as you'd expect on a Common, but with care is easily negotiated we arrived and left in torrential rain!. We've been holidaying in cottages for many years and this cottage stands out as one of the best.

There is only one route to Sunnyside for vehicles despite what your satnav might tell you The final part of this is on unmade track, just passable for a normal family car, but not an easy drive. The track needs levelling and the vegetation needs cutting back. Parking at the property is good. Entrance to the property is via an ample cloakroom with attached toilet. The open plan kitchenliving area has doors opened onto the lower balcony. There is a good sized dining table with 5 chairs and 2 sofas. There is a smart tv and sound system. The kitchen is a good size with ample utensils. The kitchen appliances are very good although the controls for the oven and hob may take some getting used to it is definitely advisable to read the instructions. A door gives access to a larger lounge, with a log burner and a large sofa with a second smart tv. We found this room less useable since the owner has requested the guests do not eat or drink on this sofa, so it was more relaxing to stay in the other lounge area. Upstairs the large bedroom had a really comfortable superking bed. There were 2 skylights and doors opening onto the balcony. There is adjacent shower room extremely good shower and toilet. In the bathroom was another toilet 3 in all, very useful and a good sized bath. The bunk beds are comfortable. Likewise, the double room has a comfortable bed. The property has ample storage in all rooms. Due to the weather we made little use of the outside facilities, but the garden is a good size and there is a good sized barbeque which appeared to be in good, clean condition. Some information in the property handbook seems a little out of date, since we found a rather overgrown area instead of the promised vegetable garden. All in all the house is comfortable and well maintained. Throughout our stay the internet was very slow, which did effect connectivity and the reception of the smart tvs. The access to Bircher Common is a massive asset, with wild ponies and deer almost literally on the doorstep. The poor condition of the track for the 700 yards from the cattle grid the last bit of tarmac to the house, would be the major factor to influence whether to stay here again.

As previous guests have mentioned the approachroad is substandard potentially a problem for vehicles suspension, springs and tyres. i appreciate this is not the owners fault as they have no control over it as well as the foliage that scrapes the side of the car in many places. having said that the property is really well presented, maintained and stocked. our stay was peaceful and tranquil and our thanks go to the owners for opening their doors to us.

We had a perfect holiday at Sunnyside and would like to thank you for the welcome pack and little extras at the house. The grandchildren loved the sheep, pig and abundant wild life in the area and we enjoyed sitting on the veranda in the evening with a drink. Very peaceful area although the dirt track drive in a small car was a challenge.

Well what a house! ! Everything was 1010 we totally enjoyed our time relaxing and having fun! Everything was perfect, so comfortable surroundings we tried to use every area dependant on the weather and managed one day to open up the bifold doors! Everything was clean and plentiful. Excellent choice, and this now becomes our number one to return again some day. Excellent communication before we arrived and we settled in straight away from the minute we walked in. Thank you so much.
