Woodpecker Reviews

Georgina
We had such a lovely time at the woodpecker. We didnt want to leave. Such Beautiful pods. It had everything we needed. The scenery was stunning and the walks were amazing. I would highly recommend. I cant wait to come back here again in the future.
Oh my goodness what can I say. What an amazing place. I loved the peace & quiet & the sounds of birds & sheep. The pod was fully equipped with everything you need. Would highly recommend to friends & one of my friends has already booked. I will definitely be booking again myself. If this was Four in a Bed channel 4 programme you would have definitely won the competition.
Great place. Peaceful and lovely staff owners.
Louise
I was very impressed with the quality of the pod and the cleanliness. The pod had everything we could have wanted. The location and views were amazing. The hot tub was a treat at the end of every day. We are already planning a return visit.
A great setting for a super awayfromitall break. The pod was excellent but unfortunately, with daily windchill temperatures of 4C, 6C, 6C and 2C we didn't use the hottub or visit some of the places we had intended. However, this made us to all chill out.
Frances
Absolutely perfect, beautiful views and super cozy. The pod had everything you need for an escape to the dales. Were already looking at dates to come back!
We had a really lovely week in this little pod, was perfect shelter from the wind and rain. The hot tub was a great way to end each day. Would happily stay here again no complaints
Micheal
Accommodation was clean, well presented and had everything you needed to make your stay welcome. Stunning scenery all around, very quiet and peaceful, with the added bonus of the hot tub to relax in after a days walking and admiring the stars at night on a clear sky. We liked the added touches of the beverage tray including the marshmallows for the hot chocolate and the wood pile for the chimera.
Kimberly
Perfect stay. The pod had everything you needed and really made to feel so spacious despite it being a pod. The views were unbelievable, such value for money. It will be the first place we check for availability the next time we come this way!
Thank you so much for providing such a tranquil space. The combination of the pod, the hot tub and the views was just perfect
We really enjoyed our stay at the woodpecker pod, the pod pod was modern and well presented and everything we needed was there. The views from the pod were beautiful and it was so peaceful, my daughter loved watching the sheep in the mornings.
Fabulous pod, booked with Heron for a family break. Very relaxing, beautifully equipped and amazing views. We could have downsized and lived here if we didnt have to go back to work!
We loved staying here. It's so peaceful and in a beautiful location. The accommodation is lovely, has all the required facilities and is very well maintained. It is easy to check in and out and there are only a handful of other accommodation nearby so it remains peaceful and private. We will definitely return again.
Great break,would definitely come back
Lindsey
This was our second stay at the pods. We love it here, beautiful countryside with amazing views. The pods are perfectly placed for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. We visited at Easter and it was lovely to see and hear! the lambs in the fields, it made our holiday.
Thomas
Lovely lodge and hot tub. Short walk to the pub under the viaduct, great views all around. Definitely recommend!
Maxine
A perfect getaway surrounded by the beauty of the Yorkshire dales. Everything you need in a comfortable well designed pod with walks from your doorstep. I enjoyed a long walk up towards Whernside from Ribblehead viaduct followed by dinner at The Station Inn 10 minute walk from the pod and completed my day with views of the sunset against ingleborough from the hot tub. Hosts were happy to help with any advice. Would definitely recommend.
Sophie
Couldnt have asked for anything better. Walking distance to the local pub & the peaks. The facilities were fantastic. Beautiful lodge! Cannot wait to return in the summer
Natalie
Had a lovely 2 night stay, couldn't recommend highly enough!
Darren
A LOVELY pod in a lovely spot! The accommodation had everything that we needed. We enjoyed being able to walk from the door and the hot tub to come back to was a welcome treat! Thank you!!!
Josephine
The Pod was in a great location, walks from the door and 10 minutes walk to a friendly pub. It was immaculate, had everything we needed for our stay. The views from the hot tub were superb, looking across to Ingleborough, we will be back!!
Richard
This was our first time here. My word we were not disappointed the views. It's magical. We would love to come back next year same dates. The only small thing I would say was wish it had grill. But was not an issue. Would definitely recommend this place. So relaxing.
Absolutely stunning property with everything you need for a relaxing stay with stunning views of the Ribblehead Viaduct and the Peaks. Weather permitting we managed to get out to Ingleborough nature walk and Cave Old Saw Mill Cafe is excellent at the entrance, Dales Museum in Hawes was great too. Many more places if you want to venture outva little further. The Station in just last the viaduct serves excellent food Don't miss the Steak Pie, best we have ever had Enjoyed watching the farmer feeding his sheep everyday on his quad bike.
An excellent stay, in a beautiful location and accommodation. The property was well equipped and maintained. A very comfortable stay. We have already started planning another visit in the not too distant future.
Overall very good. Brown water is a bid odd to get used to. Hot Tub would not turn off so had to use the master switch
We when we got there we looked in the toilet and saw brown water and assumed someone had already been, but later we found some information in the booklet that the owners had warn us about it. But apart from that we had an excellent night's sleep, enjoyed the scenery and had no other problems. We will be returning in the future and recomend it to family members and friends.
Lovely little cottage in a wonderful location, that looks just like the pictures. It has all the facilities you need for a short or long stay, which were easy to use. The place was very clean and tidy and decorated very well. The furniture was lovely and comfortable ensuring we had a relaxing stay. The Owners were very welcoming with a handy information booklet and were responsive with any queries we had during our stay. We had a wonderful time here and would definitely recommend this cottage.
