Woodland Escape Reviews

Elleyce
Would recommend to anyone wanting a romantic weekend away, was absolutely stunning! !! Only thing I'd say was we had a 3 night stay here there was 2 of us and we only had 2 big towels and 2 hand towels for the whole stay. It would of been nice to of hand 2 big towels for the hot tub and 2 big towels for the shower as the little towel rail in the bathroom was the only radiator to dry things, but other then that it was amazing, thank you!
We had an amazing time ! The weather was so nice . Shame about the drilling and banging that started around 8am every day in the week. We understand work needs to be done tho. Its a great place to relax and unwind from the stresses of life. We would love to come back one day. Watching the wildlife was amazing, weve never seen so many hornets, they only come out at night and If you have the outside light on.
