"Had a lovely time at woodpecker been before but new owners are lovely."
Paul always working around and very busy person.. Bedlinen changed at start of 2nd week. Lovely cottage and gardens very nice Harry the springer loved the dog field. All positive only negative was Potholes and road up to cottage but nothing owners can do about that Council problem. We loved it
-
"A very comfortable cottage, conveniently located for the coast with a warm welcome from the owners."
We had a lovely stay.
-
"The welcome, facilities etc were superb and could not be bettered."
We would hope to be able to return again to relax in a beautiful area of the country. As elderly visitors unused to a Smart TV we would have found some notes on how to work it helpful (!) but this is a personal failing and not in any way to be taken as a criticism or to undervalue the excellence of everything provided.

"I liked the Woodpecker cottage so much I've already booked our holiday at this cottage for 2 weeks next year."
Our dogs enjoyed their stay there. Our dogs are big dogs yet there was plenty of space for them. It's just right for our requirements. Our Tesco delivery was there before us and we found all our goods were put away.

"A good holiday cottage in a great location for exploring the north Devon/Cornwall coast."
The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Night storage heaters can be difficult to adjust and control. Wi-Fi was not consistently good enough, so if you are needing to work on-line, this could be a problem. More mugs and glasses would have been appreciated.

"What a gem!"
This beautiful cottage was a perfect place to explore the local area. We’ve just returned from a very relaxing and peaceful week at Woodpecker Cottage. The property was spotless and well equipped. The enclosed rear garden was an ideal safe space for our young dog who also enjoyed the freedom of the large dog field. We can’t wait to return., thanks for a lovely welcome. Diolch

"The garden was the right size for my two big dogs."
Teabags and a couple of other items on arrival, which came in handy. Just remember to buy milk before. In easy reach of supermarkets and beaches that are dog friendly. Also, other dog walks. We would definitely book 'Woodpecker' again.

"We had an amazing stay at Woodpecker cottage and can honestly say this is the best property we have ever stayed in."
Absolutely spotlessly clean. Very, very comfortable and upto date. We didn’t need for anything. The enclosed rear garden was ideal for the dogs and then there is also an enclosed field for letting the dogs have a run. We absolutely loved it. The owners are lovely and really helpful. We honestly cannot give a high enough rating. Look forward to seeing you again in the future. Mark, Jane and our doggies 1x Cavapoo, Alfie and 1x Zuchon, Margot.

"Woodpecker Cottage was lovely."
A visit in November is bound to be a bit wet, but we had some great days out. The cottage was so warm and cosy on our return - the addition of the log burner was an extra treat. Everything was there that you would expect to find in a cottage of this quality. Bonus having a fenced outdoor space. Thanks - we and the dogs had a lovely stay Jane and Kevin

"Such a lovely cottage weve stayed at many this being one of the best."
..comfortable, well equiped, clean & in a beautiful setting near the tamar lake. The private secure fenced garden was great also the secure field by the cottage...both major factors in booking woodpecker. Paul & sian were really friendly too. We will definetely return

"Beautiful, well maintained cottage, good parking and facilities."
Had a great stay and enjoyed the many beaches around the Devon and Cornwall area. would be happy to recommend cottage to others as of a high standard and quality.
-
"A very warm welcome from Sian and Paul who were very friendly and informative."
The cottage was perfect for 2 adults and 2 young labradors- plenty of room, a lovely enclosed garden and a stone's throw from the secure dog field, which was great for our early morning exercise with the dogs. We have stayed in many self catering properties throughout the UK and Woodpecker Cottage is without doubt one of the best!
