We had a week here to catch up with family & friends after moving out of the area.Surrounded by fields and woods, if you want peace & quiet and to get away from it all, then here is ideal. We would say that if you have a dog, the garden is not secure, our springer very easily got under the gates and through the wire fence into the field. We had to keep him on a long lead after that. We didn’t find the sofas particularly comfortable and felt it would be a bit tight if 4 adults staying there. Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay at woodpeckers.

Really enjoyed the dinning area in the conservatory. It was like being out in the country lots of wild animals and alpacas. A well equipped cottage in a lovely area of the country.
