  • "We had the best few days at woodman cottage we honestly didn't want to leave."

    Absolutely beautiful cottage inside and out. Hot tub was amazing, everything you could need for your stay was supplied including little extras like dressing gowns and slippers. Beautiful location with great dog walks, our dog thoroughly enjoyed his stay too. Peter is a great host, very helpful. Would definitely love to return in the future, we miss the cottage already! Thanks Peter

    That’s so nice Jess - thank you so much. You will be welcome back anytime, and I enjoyed dog cuddles whilst testing the hot tub! Best wishes Peter Property Owner

    Stunning cottage with everything that you could possibly need. Warm and cosy with those little touches. High quality througout. Opposite a pub which does amazing food. Not far from Heysham, Morcombe. Lancaster and the Lakes. Short drive to a dog friendly beach. Would highly recommend and we will definately be back. Thank you to Peter for the lovely stay.

    That’s a very lovely review Dave - thank you!! You will be welcome back anytime, and thanks for leaving the cottage in such a nice snd tidy condition. Best wishes Peter Property Owner

  • "Absolutely perfect."

    The cottage has everything you need for your stay - very comfortable beds, cosy lounge with log burner and smart TV, well laid out kitchen and a super hot tub. Plenty of walks to take my little dog with a public footpath just across the road from the cottage. We felt quite at home and were sorry to leave. Peter, the owner gave us great tips for eating out and places to visit. We went to the Ship across the road twice and the food was amazing. Also The Archers cafe which was very busy! The history of the cottage and the village was very interesting. We definitely hope to return soon.

    Thank you for a lovely review Sarah. I would love you to return sometime soon. Thanks again and best wishes Peter Property Owner

  • "A lovely cottage in a quiet area."

    Peter, the owner is very helpful if anything is needed and lots of useful information is provided about the local area. Would fully recommend for a peaceful and relaxing stay with plenty of easy to reach places to visit too.

    Thank you for a lovely review Steve and Sharon. I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and I would love to welcome you back to Woodman Cottage at some time. Best wishes Peter Property Owner

  • "WOW WOW WOW What an amazing cottage, nothing has been left to chance."

    Nothing is too much trouble for the owners who are a phone call away should you need them. From the minute you make your booking you are kept informed about your arrival, from directions to the cottage to how to gain access to the cottage, and where everything is once in the cottage. Local knowledge from Peter the owner and areas to visit whilst on your stay. Extra touches included pods for the washing machine, pods for the dishwasher, towels for the bathroom and seperate ones for the hot tub. Dog towels and shower so no muddy dogs in the cottage. Basically it is home from home with all the mod cons. Log burner for those winter breaks and fully central heated. The hot tub was a bonus we were never out of it, kept at 38 degrees so you could enjoy anytime of the day. Pub just across the road Ship Inn serves wonderful down to earth food and drink at reasonable prices, there is the Globe pub further up the village but we didn't venture into it. A big thank you to Peter and his wife for allowing us into his home really, it is a credit to them both with the high standards they maintain and we wish them look in the future. We will definitely be returning in the future Thank you

    What a wonderful review - thank you so much Chris. I enjoyed having the four of you (plus the four legged one!) as my guests. You really were model guests, as the cottage looked immaculate when you left, so thank you so much for that. I am already looking forward to welcoming you back sometime soon. With my sincere thanks and best wishes Peter Property Owner

  • "Beautiful property."

    The cottage was spotlessly clean. Fittings and fixtures to a very high standard. The hot tub was divine and the beds super comfy. I had no issues whatsoever aside stubbing my toe on the step to the downstairs cloakroom (my fault!). Communication with the owner was very good and I would certainly stay again. I have also recommended it to friends and family.

    Thank you for your lovely review Louise, and I’m very sorry you stubbed your toe. Your kind words mean a lot, and I am very grateful to you for recommending the cottage to family and friends. I so hope I can welcome you back at some time in the near future. Best wishes Peter Property Owner

  • "We’ve just left from our stay at woodman’s cottage and the stay was amazing."

    The cottage is beautifully furnished with super comfortable beds and the biggest hot tub we’ve ever used. The pub is a 10 second walk from the cottage which does really great food and drinks with a great beer garden however you wouldn’t even know it is there as there was never any noise. Peter was great and pointed us in the direction of some great walks and restraunts. We will deffo will return as there is so much more to do! Thanks again.

    Thanks Lauren. I’m so glad the five of you had a great time, and the dogs of course. I look forward to welcoming you back at sometime in the future - not too far away I hope! Finally, thanks for leaving the cottage in such a clean and tidy state; it is greatly appreciated. With my best wishes Peter Property Owner

    Extremely homely and with all essentials provided. Hot tub was amazing and the pub directly opposite was both friendly and provided meals to a high standard. We'll definitely return.

  • "We absolutely loved staying at Woodmans cottage."

    We were pleased to have found a holiday where there was a hot tub that also looked clean and stylish as well as being able to take our small dog with us. Woodmans cottage totally exceeded our expectations. The property has been thoughtfully renovated to feel modern yet keep the charm and character. Small personal touches about the history and local information provided were interesting and we were given plenty of ideas of places to visit. We immediately felt relaxed and comfortable and the garden is beautiful to sit and enjoy We had everything we needed and the owner, Peter, went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. He provided fans when the weather was very hot without us even having to ask. Peter was friendly and available if needed without being intrusive. The village is small and quiet, the pub just across the road serves delicious food and has friendly staff and a Lovely atmosphere. The pub was not noisy or disruptive to us in the cottage or the garden and we would definitely recommend eating there. Horses ride through the village, which the children enjoyed seeing. There is a play park for primary age and younger children. We absolutely recommend Woodman cottage!

    Dear Alice and Matt, well what can I say? That was a lovely review and I am so happy to have been part of your relaxing holiday. I know you are both busy people, so it’s great that you relaxed and recharged almost from the outset. I hope I can welcome you back someday, and it was such a bonus to meet your lovely family. Oh, and thanks for leaving the cottage in such great order! All the best to you all. Peter Property Owner

    it really is a gem! The hot tub after a day of walking is such a great touch. We will be returning as soon as we can! Peter is a great host and was very helpful recommending places to eat and visit. Thank you again!

  • "The whole cottage has been fully renovated throughout to a really high standard with tasteful, modern decor and attention to detail."

    A lot of time and effort has clearly gone into making the Woodman cottage a perfect staycation destination. I particularly liked the kitchen/dining room for feeling spacious and bright, and the bathroom with a large walk in shower. The warm water from the outside hosepipe to wash the dogs is a nice touch too. Every little thing has been thought of, from providing washing tablets for the washing machine, to a Bluetooth speaker in the kitchen. It was nice to have towels provided both for the bathroom and the hot tub. Communication from Peter (the owner) was spot on, ensuring our stay was as enjoyable as possible. The hot tub is bigger than ones I've been in before and it was lovely to relax in it in an evening. The cottage is situated in a quiet village on the outskirts of Morecombe. It's location is good for exploring the surrounding areas. We would definitely return. Thank you Peter.

    That is a lovely review Sarah - thank you so much! You will be welcome back anytime. Best wishes to you, Lizzie and Isla Peter Property Owner
