Previous visitors' comments about Woodpecker:
The location was tranquil. The woodland, gardens, sculpture park and the abundant wildlife immediately outside the door were a real joy. The sculpture park was an interesting diversion and we loved the diversity of the exhibits in the gallery. The weather was gorgeous and there were no crowds!
Ms Marsden, Keighley, November 2011
Having spent holidays in Cumbria for over 35 years, the location of High Head was great to give us an opportunity to easily visit the best of Northern Cumbria. The cottage was very warm and cosy, even when the weather was cold and miserable. Very comfortable, well appointed and a lovely "welcome pack". Lot's to do on site as well,I can only recommend High Head to young and old alike.
Mr Martin, Lincoln, October 2011
The cottage was warm, clean and spacious, even the dog loved it. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The tea room is a must as is the spa, and the view from the front door over the valley is beautiful. It is a place I would definitely stay in again.
Mrs Bailey, Chester le Street, October 2011
The location was ideal for walking either in the Lake District or exploring Hadrian's Wall. The accommodation was of a very high quality in a wonderful setting. The owners were friendly and helpful. The quality of the food at the on-site tea room was very good.
