Here's a couple of recent comments about this property (submitted Aug / Oct 2023)
| October 2023: What a lovely stay, from the moment we arrived we felt like we were right at home. Everything we needed was under one roof, not to mention the exceptional views(even the pot washing was no task with a view like that) we will certainly be back, Thank you woodpecker cottage for providing us with a lovely much needed break August 2023 Our second visit to the cottage. Went once in 2019 and again this Summer. Such a lovely place to stay. A beautiful location, amazing surroundings and views. The addition of the Summer house is lovely and the children enjoyed playing with the garden toys and looking at the neighbouring horses. The cottage has everything you need. Lots of essentials eg condiments, toilet roll, cleaning products, foil, cloths, tea towels, towels and bed linen, huge array of utensils, crockery and pots and pans. We didn't want for anything. They even provided washing up liquid, washing powder and dishwasher tablets, a maiden and rotary washing line. Fleece blankets. They had just thought of everything. The bedrooms are comfy and clean. The front room is spacious with a huge array of games, jigsaws and books to keep everyone occupied as well as a great TV with Netflix and Amazon. Wifi worked well, no drop in signal considering the rural surroundings. Hosts extremely polite and pleasant and left us to it which was fab. | |||
| Tips for other travellers We used the cottage as a base to visit Whitby, Peasholm park, Scarborough front, Robin Hoods Bay, Flamingo land and Alpamare water park. We will definitely be back again. We parked in car parks everywhere and never paid more than £5/6. In the School hols / weekend we found places got busy around 11/12 o clock so we tried to go early and avoid the crowds. Alpamare water park was pricey but we loved it, outdoor heated pools coupled with great weather made it feels like we were abroad. Whitby museum is fab and well worth a visit. Dalby Forest was a great find, we drove up the back route avoiding the toll road so parked for free and followed one of the walking routes, great views. The post office near by has a lot of essentials much cheaper than the supermarkets but Tesco is only 5/10 mins away if needed. The Rosette pub does good cheap food and kids eat for £1 mon-fri eve Book Your StayPlease use the form below to check availability and book your stay at Woodpeckers Cottage.
