Woodman Cottage Reviews

We had the best few days at woodman cottage we honestly didn't want to leave. Absolutely beautiful cottage inside and out. Hot tub was amazing, everything you could need for your stay was supplied including little extras like dressing gowns and slippers. Beautiful location with great dog walks, our dog thoroughly enjoyed his stay too. Peter is a great host, very helpful. Would definitely love to return in the future, we miss the cottage already! Thanks Peter
Home from home. Stunning cottage with everything that you could possibly need. Warm and cosy with those little touches. High quality througout. Opposite a pub which does amazing food. Not far from Heysham, Morcombe. Lancaster and the Lakes. Short drive to a dog friendly beach. Would highly recommend and we will definately be back. Thank you to Peter for the lovely stay.
Absolutely perfect. The cottage has everything you need for your stay very comfortable beds, cosy lounge with log burner and smart TV, well laid out kitchen and a super hot tub. Plenty of walks to take my little dog with a public footpath just across the road from the cottage. We felt quite at home and were sorry to leave. Peter, the owner gave us great tips for eating out and places to visit. We went to the Ship across the road twice and the food was amazing. Also The Archers cafe which was very busy! The history of the cottage and the village was very interesting. We definitely hope to return soon.
Steven
A lovely cottage in a quiet area. Peter, the owner is very helpful if anything is needed and lots of useful information is provided about the local area. Would fully recommend for a peaceful and relaxing stay with plenty of easy to reach places to visit too.
WOW WOW WOW What an amazing cottage, nothing has been left to chance. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners who are a phone call away should you need them. From the minute you make your booking you are kept informed about your arrival, from directions to the cottage to how to gain access to the cottage, and where everything is once in the cottage. Local knowledge from Peter the owner and areas to visit whilst on your stay. Extra touches included pods for the washing machine, pods for the dishwasher, towels for the bathroom and seperate ones for the hot tub. Dog towels and shower so no muddy dogs in the cottage. Basically it is home from home with all the mod cons. Log burner for those winter breaks and fully central heated. The hot tub was a bonus we were never out of it, kept at 38 degrees so you could enjoy anytime of the day. Pub just across the road Ship Inn serves wonderful down to earth food and drink at reasonable prices, there is the Globe pub further up the village but we didn't venture into it. A big thank you to Peter and his wife for allowing us into his home really, it is a credit to them both with the high standards they maintain and we wish them look in the future. We will definitely be returning in the future Thank you
Louise
Beautiful property. The cottage was spotlessly clean. Fittings and fixtures to a very high standard. The hot tub was divine and the beds super comfy. I had no issues whatsoever aside stubbing my toe on the step to the downstairs cloakroom my fault!. Communication with the owner was very good and I would certainly stay again. I have also recommended it to friends and family.

Weve just left from our stay at woodmans cottage and the stay was amazing. The cottage is beautifully furnished with super comfortable beds and the biggest hot tub weve ever used. The pub is a 10 second walk from the cottage which does really great food and drinks with a great beer garden however you wouldnt even know it is there as there was never any noise. Peter was great and pointed us in the direction of some great walks and restraunts. We will deffo will return as there is so much more to do! Thanks again.
We had a lovely 5 night stay at the cottage recently and were very impressed. Extremely homely and with all essentials provided. Hot tub was amazing and the pub directly opposite was both friendly and provided meals to a high standard. We'll definitely return.
We absolutely loved staying at Woodmans cottage. We were pleased to have found a holiday where there was a hot tub that also looked clean and stylish as well as being able to take our small dog with us. Woodmans cottage totally exceeded our expectations. The property has been thoughtfully renovated to feel modern yet keep the charm and character. Small personal touches about the history and local information provided were interesting and we were given plenty of ideas of places to visit. We immediately felt relaxed and comfortable and the garden is beautiful to sit and enjoy We had everything we needed and the owner, Peter, went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. He provided fans when the weather was very hot without us even having to ask. Peter was friendly and available if needed without being intrusive. The village is small and quiet, the pub just across the road serves delicious food and has friendly staff and a Lovely atmosphere. The pub was not noisy or disruptive to us in the cottage or the garden and we would definitely recommend eating there. Horses ride through the village, which the children enjoyed seeing. There is a play park for primary age and younger children. We absolutely recommend Woodman cottage!
Phoebe
The most amazing stay, the cottage is beautifully done and has everything you could need and more! it really is a gem! The hot tub after a day of walking is such a great touch. We will be returning as soon as we can! Peter is a great host and was very helpful recommending places to eat and visit. Thank you again!
The whole cottage has been fully renovated throughout to a really high standard with tasteful, modern decor and attention to detail. A lot of time and effort has clearly gone into making the Woodman cottage a perfect staycation destination. I particularly liked the kitchendining room for feeling spacious and bright, and the bathroom with a large walk in shower. The warm water from the outside hosepipe to wash the dogs is a nice touch too. Every little thing has been thought of, from providing washing tablets for the washing machine, to a Bluetooth speaker in the kitchen. It was nice to have towels provided both for the bathroom and the hot tub. Communication from Peter the owner was spot on, ensuring our stay was as enjoyable as possible. The hot tub is bigger than ones I've been in before and it was lovely to relax in it in an evening. The cottage is situated in a quiet village on the outskirts of Morecombe. It's location is good for exploring the surrounding areas. We would definitely return. Thank you Peter.

Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.

Head for the Bowland Wild Boar park and we don't think you will be disappointed.  A popular attraction in Preston there is so much to do for the whole family.  From picnics, walks and wildlife to experiencing feeding the animals you are sure to have a memorable day out.  Also popular is the kids tractor play area.  For rest and relaxation the cafe is ideal serving hot drinks and snacks with a lovely view over the pond and wildlife feeding station.  The Forest of Bowland has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 16 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
