Woodman Cottage Reviews

A lovely property. We had rhe most relaxing week in a cottage that had everything we needed. Great communication from the owner. Highly recommended.
We stayed in Woodmsn Cottage for 5 nights and found it a great base for exploring the local area. The cottage was spotless and is maintained to a very high standard. The village is lovely with a pub just across the road serving tasty home cooked food with friendly & helpful staff not open on Mondays & Tuesdays unfortunately.The cottage owner was extremely helpful & communication was clear, thorough & useful in helping us to plan our trip. His attention to detail was obvious and we really appreciated the effort that has clearly gone in to ensuring the perfect stay.
Teresa
This is by far the best cottage we have stayed in. The cottage itself is without fault and perfectly decorated and furnished to the highest standard. The private parking is great and you can fit two cars without any issue. I would suggest contacting Peter on arrival to get advice on where to visit we went to Kirkby Lonsdale which is a beautiful market town half an hours drive away, and Morecambe beach. Lovely walks if you don't want to drive. The hot tub is without doubt the star of the show 38 degrees. I would say the Golden Ball HotelPub on the river road is well worth a visit but be aware of the tides unless you want a lockin. Also visit the local superstores for supplies approx 10 mins away as there is no local shop in the village. Finally this cottage is outstanding, thanks Peter, see you next year!!
We have had a great week staying at Woodman Cottage which is finished to a very high standard and spotlessly clean. The Cottage is very comfortable and equipped with everything you need. Peter, the owner, was very helpful with local knowledge, and very informative on the history of the cottage and local area. We will definitely be recommending it to friends and family.
Michelle
I have had an extremely comfortable and homely week at this stunning and lovingly renovated property. I literally ditto all the positive comments written about Woodman Cottage and Peter. I stay in many of Sykes properties throughout the year but I have thoroughly enjoyed everything about staying here including the friendliness of the area. Highly recommended. Been a pleasure staying here and Thankyou Peter for being a thorough and hospitable host. Michelle and Zander fur baby

Weve just returned from spending a relaxing week at this amazing cottage. Weve stayed in many holiday cottages over the years and this one is definitely up there amongst the best. The property has been renovated to a high standard and is fully equipped with everything you could need. The hot tub is an added bonus. What really sets this property apart from those weve previously stayed in though are the owners. Right from the initial booking, communication from Peter was brilliant, with all the information on the cottage and the surrounding area provided up front. Any questions we had were promptly answered and Peter and Tracy were perfect hosts throughout our stay. We received a warm friendly welcome from everyone we met in the village, and we would particularly recommend a visit to the Ship Hotel across the road.
The property was beautiful and had everything you needed for a four night luxury stay. The Christmas tree was the icing on the cake for us. We had a wonderful time with relatives and it was nice to come home to such a lovely cottage to relax in the evening. 5 stars from us.
Monica
What a lovely stay we had at Woodman Cottage! ! Peter is a great host with excellent communication. The cottage has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay. The cleaning standards are extremely high, which I loved! We enjoyed the hot tub on the days when the weather wasn't too horrendous! We used the wood burning fire daily to keep us toasty! The bed was very comfortable too. The only suggestions I could make is perhaps a foot stool in the lounge, and a dark blind in the front bedroom, otherwise, the facilities are excellent with high quality finishes. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this cottage for your stay!
Kirsty
We had a lovely stay at New Year in this property which has been renovated to a high standard. The woodburner and hot tub made it a bit more special. The car park to then side end enclosed garden also made us feel safe with our dog who was made extremely welcome and Im sure he loved the outdoor warm water tap! Communication with Peter was brilliant and the whole community was very friendly. We met a lot of locals on our dog walks and in the handy pub across the road. Lots of dog walks from the door too just perfect. If you are thinking about booking just do it.
Michael
We had an amazing week staying at Woodman Cottage. Peter was absolutely lovely and so helpful. The cottage was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. Sofas and beds were comfortable. Hot tub was amazing to relax in in the evenings. Great little extras like warm hose to clean the pups paws and towels too. We thoroughly enjoyed it. And would highly recommend staying here. Definitely want to return in the future! Thanks again for everything.
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.
Lauren
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.
