Private garden & veranda. Please note that dogs are not to be left in the lodge unattended. Please also note that there is a new lodge being built on site but it will not effect or disturb your stay at South Forda Park. Woodpecker at South Forda Park is in a 9-acre oasis of countryside calm, ideally located within short distance of North Cornwall & North Devon’s finest beaches and attractions. South Forda Park offers 4 self-catering lodges within beautiful grounds, each with either a private veranda or garden. ​ At South Forda Park we embrace a ‘laid back luxury’ approach, offering stylish accommodation with all the comforts of being at home. No need to leave man’s best friend at home either as 3 of our 4 lodges are dog friendly. As our guest you are free to roam amongst the 9 acres of woodland and meadows we have to offer, including access to fish in our 2 x coarse fishing lakes. Alternatively, if fishing’s not your thing, you can choose to read a book with a glass of wine alongside the river! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Recycling - Solar energy - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73590000/73582400/73582342/8f1e7193.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Appleloft Suite in 17th century Farmhouse Holsworthy [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=73582342&PinnedHotelID=73582342&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70450000/70442800/70442798/9232ded0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Herbert Road Herbert Road - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Free WiFi 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=70442798&PinnedHotelID=70442798&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70450000/70442400/70442327/6a97cdfc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 bedroom accommodation in Salcombe Salcombe - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=70442327&PinnedHotelID=70442327&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115640000/115639500/115639437/1bbe8a6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Riverview Stratton - Kitchen - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=115639437&PinnedHotelID=115639437&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102020000/102011500/102011433/28bd4f41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Penmor - a holiday home that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms Bude - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $1,239 CA $1,239 total includes taxes & fees Jan 7 - Jan 8, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-07&endDate=2026-01-08&selected=102011433&PinnedHotelID=102011433&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63950000/63945500/63945413/69a9c079.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stone Cottage With Indoor Swimming Pool In Stunning Rural Location Near Ocean Bude - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=63945413&PinnedHotelID=63945413&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37240000/37237300/37237227/a5646e1b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Bude Bude - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Free WiFi 9.2 Wonderful 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=37237227&PinnedHotelID=37237227&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18980000/18977100/18977069/a7b114f0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Apartment 7 - The Muntham Luxury Apartments.
