“Lovely comfortable and peaceful cottage, set in open countryside accessed by country lanes with very little traffic.”

Cottage was equipped with everything that could be needed for a comfortable vacation. Very dog friendly with a secure field set aside for off lead exercise, and lovely lanes for walking. Location was about 6 miles from Bude, with North West Devon beaches and North East Cornwall beaches within easy reach. A warm welcome and every assistance from owner Lesley Perrett ensured a really lovely break. Highly recommended

“Woodpecker cottage was the perfect place for us, and gave us the break we needed.”

Lesley was so friendly and helpful and provided such lovely hospitality. The cottage was clean, had all the right facilities, and had great outside space for our dog. Just 15 minutes away from Bude where we spent most of our days on our holiday. We had such an amazing time, and we will definitely be back!

“We had a most comfortable, relaxing week at Woodpecker Cottage.”

It's a beautiful, quiet and rural location but amenities aren't too far away and within easy reach of beaches and countryside. The enclosed paddock at Woodpecker Cottage is a fantastic facility to let dogs run free. Lesley, the owner is very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble to help you have a great holiday.

“This was our second time at Brexworthy and we were not disappointed!”

The cottage was immaculate and very quiet and lovely and warm! Lesley and Darren have a wonderful place and we were treated like old friends. The fresh eggs are highly recommended! It’s so lovely to wake up in the morning in your really comfortable - and good-sized - bed, to the sound of birdsong. You can have a good, hot bath any time - very necessary after a day walking along the cliffs - and the logs that were provided made for cosy evenings in front of the fire. Which we lit even though it wasn’t really cold enough! We needed a restful week and we certainly got that. Plus Lesley and Darren helped us out when we had a problem with our exhaust. The recommended garage did a great job. We would highly recommend Brexworthy to anyone. My daughter and her boyfriend now have the details! Thank you so much Lesley and Darren. We WILL be back xx

“Great dog friendly accommodation”

We stayed with our dog at the beginning of august and had a great time. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable and we would recommend it to anyone who wants top quality dog friendly accommodation. We were met by Lesley who was extremely welcoming and made us feel at home straightaway. Woodpecker Cottage has a small, private garden which was excellent as it meant we could let our dog out and not worry about her. There is also an excellent dog walking field. The cottage was very well equipped and everything was so clean. We felt that the position was good as we were not far from Bude and were able to get out and about quite easily. We ate in the pub in the evening in Bradworthy (Bradworthy Inn) and can thoroughly recommend this as we were able to take our dog with us. It is advisable to book beforehand if you are intending to take your dog with you as they are allowed in the bar area and the pub is very popular. We had an excellent holiday and would thoroughly recommend the accommodation for dog owners and non-dog owners alike. Lesley showed us around the new cottage which they have just completed and it was really lovely.
