Woodpecker Cottage is well situated just a couple of miles from the beach but quiet and away from the crowds. It is comfortable and we'd stay again. The garden is grassy and dog proof.

The cottage was comfortable and very well located for accessing the main attractions in the area. The location was quiet once the RAF jets had finished circulating. The village pub (The Three Horseshoes) is only about 200 yards away and is excellent

Amazing cottage, really good value and the location is very good. The cottage was really well maintained, I would agree with the lack of shower pressure but the bath ran quick and everything was exceptionally clean and very well presented, really charming place. The local pub is a must, the staff are lovely and the pies are epic!!! the rest was gooRead mored but just not as standout as the pies so make sure you try them! Hide

Brilliant location with nice walk to Wells next the Sea (about 1hr). Very good pub close by but make sure you make a reservation as quite small and very popular. Homemade pies were excellent! The house itself is well laid out. Useful to have an add toilet downstairs. Could do with a bit more comfort - no underlay on carpet, mattresses hard. KitchenRead more equipment could do with updating. No freezer, dishwasher or washing machine. Not bothered about washing machine but an icebox would have been handy Hide

Lovely cottage in a lovely location. Fantastic food and drink at the local pub, just down the road. The garden is very dog friendly and secure one of our Golden retrievers did however manage to get out into the field at the back of the property she is a bit of a houdini and we had been keeping a close eye on her, thinking of renting her out to testRead more dog friendly cottage gardens. We didnt feel the kitchen to be best equipped for a weeks worth of cooking, and therefore made use of the local pub. Hide

Woodpecker cottage is lovely. Great location; clean and tasteful cosy decor. I would definitely stay here again. It is quite basic though; no washing machine; dishwasher; or functioning shower So atm probably best suited to adult guests on a short term basis.
