Alison
We were five adults, two children and two dogs. The house and its layout suited our family perfectly. Beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean on our arrival. There was initially a problem with the hot tub which was rectified really promptly by the owner. Bought a weekly car park ticket at nearby country park which provides access to dog friendlRead morey beach so dogs loved the beach walks. Weather could have been kinder to us but did not spoil our enjoyment of both the house and its location. Hide
Ann
We were a party of 5 adults and 2 dogs. The house was nicely presented and well equipped. The complementary arrival items were much appreciated and a nice touch. The small garden was private and the hot tub was a pleasure to relax in. It was handy having the side gate we could use with the dogs instead of having to take them through the house. A 10Read more min walk to Westward Ho, 30 min walk to the dog beach. Reccomend the Atlantic fish bar but be prepared for a long wait as very popular. Hide
Jane
Generally the property had been well presented though we were all disappointed that the patio was dirty and covered in weeds and the BBq was rusty and tatty and therefore not used. Only other issue was that the ensuite shower needed a thorough scrub and the mould removed from the grout between the tiles which I did myself. (video evidence available ) However this did not detract from the overall enjoyment of our holiday but these improvements would benefit the reviews for the future.
Sarah
Lovely large family house in a fantastic quiet location. Suited our needs perfectly, we loved being able to bring our dogs with us and were happy that they were safe and secure in the enclosed garden. Wide choice of takeaways and restaurants locally. Lots of places to visit nearby.
Johanna
Woodside is a wonderful house with a beautiful view of the sea. The large window upstairs is superb for sunsets and watching the sea. A great location for a short walk to Westward Ho beach. We enjoyed the games room, the hot tub and the balcony in between the showers. We enjoyed a lovely weeks holiday sleeping 7 of us very comfortably. Owner was qu ick to respond to any queries we had. A great week! Thank you!
Carol
Lovely stay at Woodside 5 adults 2 children and 2 dogs. Very spacious and comfortable home with beach only 15 minute walk away. Excellent communication with owner. We all loved the jacuzzi and made good use of this. Stunning views of the sea from the enormous window in sitting room
Marie
Amazing location with spectacular views. Worked well with elderly mother with mobility issues as she had the room located on the same level as the kitchen/living and garden area. Hot tub was nice and the welcome pack was very thoughtful and used! Only downside we experienced was cleanliness of the property.
Claire
Absolutely stunning house in the perfect location. Views from the lounge and balcony are just stunning. Well equipped and plenty of space. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!
Joanne
Throughly enjoyed our stay at Woodside! Beautiful property with fantastic views and everything within walking distance! Would definitely stay here again!
Dee
Great base for looking around the area and can easily park 4 cars. Note, not suitable for anyone with mobility issues due to the layout of the property. The view from the sitting room and upstairs balcony was great for watching the sun set and seeing the tides change. So much to do in the area, a week hardly scratched the surface. Good restaurants 15 minutes walk down the hill and local attraction details are at the house. We'd stay there again.
Richard
The property is realy well laid out we had a lovely welcome pack and comfy beds . Downstairs shower hot/cold difficult to set not good for child . Hot tub was brilliant .few cobwebs but otherwise clean
Ruth
Beautifully appointed property with stunning seaviews from most rooms. The hot tub was well used and is situated in an interesting and mature garden. Mark was quick to correct 2 small issues. We were a mixed family group of 3 generations the biggest challenge of the property was the noise transfer from upstairs living to the bedrooms below, trying to get toddlers to sleep was a real issue as was anyone wanting to sleep beyond the little ones getting up in the morning.
Kylie
Beautiful property, good location and perfect for our family holiday.
Linda
We had a lovely time the property was very clean and comfortable. We had a fabulous time. The views were fantastic and it was very close to all amenities. Fabulous time xx
Melanie
We had a lovely last minute short break (only wished we could have stayed longer) The house is beautifully decorated and being an upside down house, the lounge had fantastic views of the sea, the kitchen had everything you would need, the dinning room, leads out onto a private patio and garden, with hot tub, which was lovely to relax in at the end of our day. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated with extremely comfy beds and plenty of private parking for at least four cars.
Julie
We had a lovely family beach holiday at Woodside. Lovely rooms and the beds and furniture were really comfortable. We all took turns in cooking and the kitchen was very well equipped. Hot tub was an extra treat. We would all stay again.
