Michael, Sam & Poppy. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent May 18, 2025 #### Woodman’s Cottage A thoroughly enjoyable week spent at Woodmans’s Cottage. A great location to explore the area and transport links are excellent. A bit of a dodgy road to get out on to but we had no issues. If you like a hot tub then you’ll love this one. The garden is incredible! Cottage has everything you need even Sky Sports. Lisa our host couldn’t have been better and cared for every need. We would certainly recommend. A great week thank you.

Ottage We loved the cottage and location, the bus stop was nearby and we didn’t have to use our car. The seating in garden was great but we could have done with a parasol as the sun was very strong. We were not keen on the Jack and Jill bathroom and the roll top bath was a waste of space as it was too deep for older people to use. The seating area in the dining room was good but in the lounge only 2 people could sit comfortably to watch tv. The kitchen was well equipped but the plates etc were too thick and awkward to fit in dishwasher. More everyday plates etc are needed. None of the glasses matched. The downstairs shower room was very good but needed a non slip plastic mat in shower as the shower base was very slippery. Lisa was a very good host and could be contacted easily. ##### Patricia S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good May 5, 2025 #### An absolut gem. it is probably one of the most fully equipped holiday homes we have ever rented. You lack nothing and it exceeds expectations. It’s more than the pictures tell. On positive the positive as wel as the negative though. Because one disadvantage must be mentioned. The house is located near a busy road. That road is not visible in any photo and you only find out upon arrival (or on Google after getting the address). I understand that the location of that road is kept out of the pictures but it is a pity that you have different expectations of the location. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in San José](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels.d603085.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Times Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Times-Square-Hotels.0-l502080-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Macao - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Macao-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h534131.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d117-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Dominican-Republic-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d50-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hinton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hinton-Hotels.d180429.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Medicine Hat (YXH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yxh/calgary-to-medicine-hat) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/fll/winnipeg-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Copenhagen (CPH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cph/toronto-to-copenhagen) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Incheon (ICN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/icn/calgary-to-seoul) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Kelowna.d3997.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico)
