Woodpeckers Reviews

An excellent property

Woodpeckers is ideally situated within easy reach of the coast, many local attractions and the city of Colchester. The owner, Debbie, was welcoming and friendly, the welcome pack was generous. The hot tub was an added bonus, as in theory it was not due to be installed until October. Woodpeckers was comfortable, well equipped and spotless. We will certainly make every effort to visit again.
