Woodpecker Cottage is a very pleasant stable barn conversion hidden away on Orleton Common in a very quiet area. It is very light and airy and very well presented. The cottage has all amenities required, oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine. There are sun loungers, decking area and a barbecue for the more pleasant months of the year. The owners provide a great welcome pack which is very well thought out. There is lockable bike storage beside the cottage. Ideal area for cycling and walking.
