Our 2nd visit to Woodpecker Cottage and we'll be back again. Gorgeous lodge, fabulous hot tub and spotlessly clean.We walked many miles over the 3 day stay as the area has so many great hikes in close proximity.Everything is catered for, kitchen is really well equipped and the sunrise/ sunset views from the lodge are simply stunning. Thank you Sally and Rob for another excellent stay. ##### Andrew Clayton This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina Cook Aug 4, 2025 #### Just returned from a 4 night stay. Just returned from a 4 night stay. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and allowed fishing on their land, my grandson caught his 1st ever fish. The weather was amazing so no need to use the wood burner. Views from the patio were amazing. Hot tub was heaven and very relaxing. The cottage itself was very spacious and the cleanliness on arrival was spotless. Kitchen facilities were brilliant, cupboards were stocked well with crockery, cups/glasses and kitchenware for cooking and even a jar of dog biscuits for my dog. Beds and bedding were extremely comfortable and there was an excellent amount of luxury towels provided. Both bathrooms were lovely with the option of 2 different shower heads. Only a 35 min drive to Blackpool and just over a 10 min drive to the main shops. Would have loved to seen some more of the local features but weather was too hot to go out anywhere.Thanks Sally and Rob for an amazing time ##### Tina Cook
