Our 2nd visit to Woodpecker Cottage and we'll be back again. Gorgeous lodge, fabulous hot tub and spotlessly clean.We walked many miles over the 3 day stay as the area has so many great hikes in close proximity.Everything is catered for, kitchen is really well equipped and the sunrise/ sunset views from the lodge are simply stunning. Thank you Sally and Rob for another excellent stay. ##### Andrew Clayton This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate Dickie 11 Oct 2025 #### The most beautiful cottage in the most beautiful place. The most beautiful cottage in the most beautiful place. The cottage itself was amazing. Everything was quality and so many little touches that you didn’t expect. Have never stayed in such a well equipped holiday let. It was lovely and warm and cosy despite the cold. The hot tub was a dream - such a wonderful addition.The grounds and location of the cottage was divine. The wildlife on your doorstep as you sat cosy drinking bubbles was heavenly! The owl in the garden stole our hearts.Cannot recommend this cottage and it’s lovely hosts enough x ##### Kate Dickie This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith Atkinson 10 Oct 2025 #### What a beautiful place to stay! We loved it so much. What a beautiful place to stay! We loved it so much. The accommodation was spotless and spacious, and had amazing views to the surrounding countryside. The underfloor heating kept the rooms lovely and warm but we did try the log burner too which made it even cosier. There were plenty of towels for the hot tub and even though we stayed in winter it was lovely and hot with breathtaking views to the lake. Sally made sure we had a welcome bottle of fizz and some milk to make a cuppa with and the key collection was very straightforward too. Our only downside was that we had to leave! But we would definitely be back again. Just the place for a relaxing getaway. ##### Judith Atkinson This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn Regan 1 Oct 2025 #### E Excellent property and hostsWildlife outside cottage fabulous ##### Kathryn Regan This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina Cook 4 Aug 2025 #### Just returned from a 4 night stay. Just returned from a 4 night stay. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and allowed fishing on their land, my grandson caught his 1st ever fish. The weather was amazing so no need to use the wood burner. Views from the patio were amazing. Hot tub was heaven and very relaxing. The cottage itself was very spacious and the cleanliness on arrival was spotless. Kitchen facilities were brilliant, cupboards were stocked well with crockery, cups/glasses and kitchenware for cooking and even a jar of dog biscuits for my dog. Beds and bedding were extremely comfortable and there was an excellent amount of luxury towels provided. Both bathrooms were lovely with the option of 2 different shower heads. Only a 35 min drive to Blackpool and just over a 10 min drive to the main shops. Would have loved to seen some more of the local features but weather was too hot to go out anywhere.Thanks Sally and Rob for an amazing time ##### Tina Cook ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [Chimney House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbach-Hotels-Chimney-House-Hotel.h527768.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
