We had an amazing stay! The cottage was comfortable and had everything you need. The onsite outdoor play area and small soft play area (ball pit, soft animals etc) were ideal for our toddler. My husband also enjoyed the plunge pool. The food at the bar was amazing - we ate there 3 times in the end because it was so tasty! The staff there were wonderful. A great place to stay with kids!

We had an incredible week at Woodpeckers. Immaculately clean, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Perfect bolt-hole for exploring Cornwall or just chilling on the nearby beaches. Thank you for the delicious jam, too!

A fantastic holiday all round. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. A perfect home away from home. The complex has a mixture of residents and holiday makers, very well tended, pretty grounds and an excellent dog walking area. It was great to lie in bed and listen to the calls of 3 tawny owls and the gentle trickling of the stream. Its family friendly with a play area, tennis courts, basketball net and pool room, a great clubhouse/bar with lovely staff and a variety of really delicious, reasonably priced food. The owner is really helpful with excellent communication after booking with arrival and departure details. The location is great, a quick and easy trip to the beach or into Falmouth Would highly recommend!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at Woodpeckers. The house had everything we needed and was well equipped and with a lovely seating area outside. It is set in beautiful, well kept grounds and with handy amenities on the doorstep, including a play area which the kids enjoyed. It was ideally located for us to explore Cornwall and with lovely beaches close by. Karen was a friendly and helpful host who made everything easy for us. We look forward to returning sometime!

This property is a real gem.

The parkland setting is quiet and well maintained. There are on-site services such as a restaurant, bar and gym if you want them, but our kitchen was so well equipped we ate in most of the time. Our week's stay was trouble-free and we will certainly stay again if we visit the area.

Good communications, especially about the effects of storm Goretti, which has led to some outages of electricity and Wi-Fi. Offered a refund of the Cottage wasn’t reconnected but in the event ask services were up and running before our stay.Comfortable and well equipped.

Superclean house in a pretty location

Visited mid-September. Quiet with just a few people around. The house has everything you need and is comfortable and quite spacious. Attractive outlook. It would be best if you drove slowly on the turn-off to the area due to the narrowness of the approach road.

Lovely house in a fabulous area

Overall, the pictures don't do the house justice. A lovely spacious living room and a kitchen with all equipment needed. The beds were exceptionally comfortable (better than my own at home). The location is great with access to several facilities such as a cafe, a small shop and tennis courts etc. The grounds are well maintained and lovely gardens across the grounds great for early morning coffee. Good water pressure from the shower too. If you're looking to leave there is bus access close by, however, a car/taxi is recommended. The host was warm and welcoming with outstanding communication throughout and prior to the stay. Even though we didn't have any issues during our stay if there were any I felt confident they would have been resolved promptly. House was immaculate on arrival and the host was kind enough to leave some fabulous baked bread. We would be definitely staying again in the future.

Bei den Woodpeckers

Woodpeckers ist ein sehr gemütliches, liebevoll eingerichtetes Häuschen, dessen tolle Küchenausstattung und gute Lage in dem schönen, sehr ruhigem Feriendorf ,wir sehr genossen haben. Auch den Fitnessraum in der Anlage haben wir gerne genutzt.Die Bar haben wir nicht oft genutzt, essengegen ist dort nur mit Vorreservierung möglich. Man konnte gut zu Fuß zu zwei verschiedenen Stränden laufen, leider zum Teil nur auf der Straße. Vom Haus weg kann man schöne Spaziergänge in die Umgebung machen, nur leider ist es zum Zentrum von Falmouth sehr weit zu Fuß.Wir vermissten einen normalen Radverleih in Falmouth. Es gibt nur teure Ebikes über eine App an bestimmten Haltestellen zu mieten.Es war alles in allem eine erholsame, schöne Zeit in Cornwall, dank auch der so freundlichen. hilfbereiten Mentalität der Menschen dort.
