Woodman Cottage Reviews

First of all I would like to mention the host Peter , he is a brilliant host from start to finish . Made us feel very welcome from the first day . The property was very clean , had everything you needed . Set in a beautiful setting with plenty of walks and a very good pub right across the road that serves excellent food and drink . We can't praise this place enough .

We have just returned home after a very enjoyable and relaxing break at Woodman Cottage. Peter our host couldnt do enough for us before and during our stay. He suggested beaches to visit for kite flying and places to eat nearby. The cottage is situated in the heart of a lovely farming village and is the perfect escape from the busy city life. It has everything you could possibly need for a get away from it all holiday. There is very private garden, with nice outdoor furniture and a hot tub. The enclosed garden was safe and secure for our dog which is very important to us. The cottage was spotlessly clean and has modern fixtures and fittings. The kitchen and diner is very well equipped with the bonus of a utility WC downstairs. The lounge was cosy and looks out onto Main Street with a dog friendly pub opposite which was handy for a couple of evening meals for us. Upstairs the two bedrooms had everything you could want with robes and slippers and a hairdryer. The modern bathroom was lovely too with a large freestanding shower. For such an old cottage everything inside and out was modern and up to date. If you like walking, beaches, seaside towns, and a City all within a couple of minutes Woodman cottage is perfect. There arent any shops in the village but there is an honesty box where you can get all the essentials. We stocked up on bread, Milk and eggs from the chickens running around outside. Our break was just perfect. Thank you.

Fab cottage. Very Clean, comfy, lovely decor. Hot tub excellent and the enclosed private garden was Lovely to spend time in. The village was beautiful and we enjoyed dog walks in immediate vicinity of the cottage. Owners were very helpful and pleasant, keeping in contact and even called and offered us an early check in which was so nice Will be back!

This is my third time staying at Woodman Cottage. Having stayed here in winter and summer time, I can say that It is very comfortable and cosy in the winter with its log burner and central heating and the ancient stone walls keep it cool on hot summer days. The cottage is well appointed, with quality fixtures and fittings. There is a utility room and handy WC off the kitchen. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal but if you don't want to I can fully recommend the meals at The Ship just over the road, eat there or have it delivered to the cottage. It's very friendly. There is good wifi and a smart TV, comfy sofa and chair in the snug lounge. The beds are very comfortable with cool cotton linen and lovely towels. The huge walk in shower is perfect. Outside there is off road parking, an enclosed, well maintained private garden and a hot tub if you fancy! Already booked another week for the end of summer. Your hosts Peter and Tracy are friendly and helpful and live locally.

Lovely cottage, renovated to a high standard, comfortable, cosy, and super clean, with everything we needed and more! Small private garden, and fab hot tub! Great walks from the property to Sunderland point, and Bazil point, with amazing views. Good bus service to Morecambe and Heysham from the village if you don't want to use the car, and a pub across the road with good food. Thankyou Peter, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again in the future.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful holiday cottage. The house itself is spotless, cosy, and set in such a stunning area the perfect place to relax. Peter went above and beyond for us throughout our stay. It was my grans birthday, and he helped us organise a special surprise that meant the world to our family. He made sure we had absolutely everything we needed and checked in so kindly without ever being intrusive. You can really tell how much care goes into this place. We couldnt have asked for a better host or a better stay.

The wood man's cottage was very well equipped with everything you need or may need, it was very clean comfortable and cosy, and is situated in a lovely little village where the locals are very friendly we enjoyed our stay very much.

Woodman cottage as every bit as good as the listing promised. Superb quality and cleanliness throughout the property it's got everything you need. The garden is a delight to spend time in and very private. Hot tub is a nice feature too. The village is very nice and a quiet relaxing place to spend time. Credit goes to The Ship which provides a friendly, great place to spend time with the family for food and drinks. We all really enjoyed our stay here and it was nice to see Peter the owner on the last morning who does a very discreet job of keeping the property in excellent shape. We just have to decide which week to book next. Having booked property through Sykes and Menai over the last 17 years Woodman Cottage is very much at the top of the list as a great place to stay.

We had a lovely stay here at Woodman Cottage. The property is lovely and clean and it has everything could possibly need. The addition of the hot tub is great! Has a lovely large kitchendining area. The bedrooms were lovely and spacious. We would definitely recommend this property and we will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

What a fabulous cottage. Well equipped, clean, and perfectly situated in the heart of a lovely quiet village.

A lovely Easter break in a beautiful setting. Everything was spotless, and we really enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub before cosy evenings by the log burner. Set in a charming village with fantastic countryside walks and a delightful honesty shop such a peaceful and relaxing stay

The cottage has been refurbished to a very high standard. We spent 4 nights there and could not fault it. Peter, the owner, is a lovely guy who came by every day discreetly to check on hot tub and outdoor bits. He is always willing to help with any issues. Lovely pub over the road, really good food. Enclosed garden for dog a bonus, its a very dog friendly place. We will be back. Thanks

A beautifully presented cottage with thoughtful touches throughout, this stay felt effortless from the moment we arrived. Every detail had been clearly considered, from the layout to the information provided before and during the visit. The property is extremely well maintained, and the hot tub was spotless and carefully looked after. A perfect for unwinding at the end of each day. The setting is ideal for anyone wanting to switch off and step away from the noise of everyday life. We brought our dogs, the area and cottage was perfect for them with scenic walks started right from the door. The village and both pubs were very accommodating for dogs and offered a friendly atmosphere. The one closest to the cottage served hearty, comforting meals. A special thanks to Paul, who checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly and being available if needed, yet never intruding on the stay. Overall this cottage is a fantastic place to relax, recharge, and enjoy a slower pace.

One of the best cottages we have stayed at. Perfect balance of comfort and functional. The lounge is so cosy, the kitchen lighting was so comforting and the hot tub is massive. TY Peter for being a great host.

Fantastic cottage. Modern but also cosy. The owners had thought of everything. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The accommodation was clean and pleasant. The kitchen was well equipped so cooking on boxing day for six people was easy. The heating was responsive and reliable and the beds were very comfortable. The dogs were truly welcome therefore I would have no hesitation in booking again in the summer.

Had an amazing week at Woodman Cottage. The information from the minute we booked till we left was efficient and helpful allowing us to plan for the week. A lot of places say they are dog friendly but Woodman Cottage has this right hot paw wash, towels, etc. Great location with lovely walks from the doorstep with plenty of places a short drive away to visit. The Ship food was lovely, staff very friendly and again your can take the pups. Hot tub well maintained and a cosy bonus at the end of a walk. Highly recommend and we would definitely come back.

This is an absolutely beautiful cottage, very clean and comfortable. The owner Peter is very friendly and welcoming and we loved to be able to see the history of the cottage. Would love to return and would highly recommend

Fantastic accommodation, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed every one of the 6 days there as it's very cosy and relaxing. Excellent facilities with modern appliances. We would definitely recommend this cottage if anyone wishes to explore this part of the UK. We also enjoyed reading some of the history behind the local villages in the booklets and photographs which are in the cottage. The local people are really friendly too. The nearest pub is 16 yards away!!!

Lovely clean warm welcoming cottage. Attentive, helpful owner. Hot tub was a great addition. Plenty of walks close by for dogs . Enjoyable few days .

Once again we had amazing relaxing time. Loved the cottage,hot tub was amazing, the pub food across the road very nice Great walks, and location Lovely owners

This was my second visit and wow this place is just amazing and I will be booking my third visit asap. Peter is the most amazing host he was actually on holiday on my stay but still messaged to make sure I was settled and to see if everything was ok he literally goes above and beyond.the ship inn over the road from the cottage does amazing food and very good atmosphere and friendly people wish I could give more than 5 stars

A lovely, cosy, wellequipped cottage in the friendliest village we have ever stayed in. The enclosed garden is lovely and the superb hot tub was appreciated after days out. Plenty to see in the area Heysham is lovely, Morcambe is a must and Lancaster and it's prison tour is fascinating. Both pubs in the village are lovely, we were made to feel very welcome in both. The food in the Ship is outstanding don't miss the Sunday lunch ! Peter, the owner is lovely. He lives locally and is very friendly, welcoming and informative about the area and the cottage The offroad parking area is great. All in all a fantastic week, so thankyou Peter. Angela and John.

Absolutely wonderful cottage, We went for a week and it was a lovely week away. There is plenty to do around. The cottage is finished to a very high standard it had all the amenities needed with the extra touches of robes and slippers provided. The hot tub is a perfect touch, its brilliant size and perfect for our family. Peter is amazing his knowledge is brilliant and he made us all feel very welcoming and comfortable. Came everyday to check the hot tub and was only down the road or a phone call away if we needed anything. Cant wait to come back to the nice house as our little one kept calling it

Had a great week at Woodman Cottage. The property inside is kept to a very high standard, well furnished and a well equipped kitchen. The enclosed garden is also really nice and private, we were fortunate to have nice weather, the patio area is a bit of a sun trap. The hot tub is superb, also kept to a very high standard by the owner Peter. He popped in discretely ever day to check chemicals. I did manage to have a chat one day and hes a lovely guy, told me all about the area, places to visit and the history of the cottage. The pub across the road is super too, the food is outstanding. All in all a great property and I would highly recommend it, you wont be disappointed if you book here

Immaculate property with everything you need and more. Hot tub was a huge success with grandchildren. Peter the owner was just down the road if we needed anything. The pub literally across the road was very friendly and the food was great and reasonable prices.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Woodman Cottage. It was immaculately clean and the robes and slippers were a thoughtful addition. The hot tub was great and we were lucky with the weather so could make use of the lovely patio garden. The cottage was perfectly located to visit the coast, Nth Yorkshire and the lakes! I would highly recommend

Excellent cottage all round . Couldnt fault a thing. Hot tub super and checked every day by host Peter. Peter is very informative and gave us great advice about local attractions, dog walks and about pubs in village etc. This cottage would be my first choice if returning to the area. Superb!!

Lovely well equipped cottage, would definitely stay again

Amazing cottage, beautiful inside and out. Hot tub thoroughly helped ease any aches and pains whilst enjoying the sunshine. Equipped with everything you could need. Comfy bed, lovely bedding. Great base for travelling around. Great pub in village, closed Mon and Tues, with excellent freshly cooked food. Lovely plant nursery in village. Will book again, our cocker Spaniel Jess, felt at home the minute we arrived, as did we. Peter, the owner, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. No problems whatsoever, I would say the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. Thank you for allowing us to stay at Woodman Cottage.

We enjoyed a really lovely stay at Woodmans Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and tasteful decor, the beautiful garden and the hot tub. The small village of Overton is delightful to explore, especially with fourlegged friends, and the local pub has a good varied menu and is also doggy friendly! This is a beautifully maintained property in such a peaceful area and we hope to return for another visit in the not too far future. Thank you, Sonia & Neal

Just got back from a wonderful stay at woodman cottage, Peter was welcoming and very accommodating to our stay, giving us recommendations and being on hand should we have needed him throughout. The cottage itself is stunning, with clearly a huge amount of money and care invested in every aspect of it, we found it extremely homely and very well equipped. Thank you Peter for allowing us to stay at Woodman Cottage, its given us memories that will stay with us forever.

Amazing cottage with everything you could need, clean and comfortable. The hot tub is a great addition after a long day walking and exploring. The pub across the road serves fantastic food at very reasonable prices but worth noting it does close Mondays and Tuesdays, some beautiful walks around the cottage, the cottage is also a short drive to Morecambe bay and the lakes are only 40 mins away so a great base for exploring. Good communication too from Peter the host i would highly recommend

This cottage is fantastic. The attention to detail in the design is to a very high standard and the layout and furnishings are perfect. Beds are comfortable and the garden is so nice to enjoy whilst lapping up the sunshine. We were so lucky with the weather for the time of the year and enjoyed sitting out relaxing after our days out. The owners Peter and Tracy are so friendly and made us feel very welcome. Peters knowledge of the village history and advice on things to do and places to visit in the surrounding area was very helpful and interesting. The Ship Hotel over the road is so convenient and is fantastic for food. The staff and villagers were so friendly every time we went in. The village itself is so nice and has another pub The Globe near The Sunderland Point Causeway. We only used the car once whilst in Overton as an hourly bus service we used three times got us to Carnforth, Morecambe and with one change Lancaster. Really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to returning next year. Susan and Trevor

We had an amazing break at Woodman Cottage. Even before our stay Peter was in touch with all the info we needed which was a nice touch. We stay in many Sykes Cottages and I have to say this is one of the best ever. Very Modern and clean and had everything we needed. The pub over the road is fantastic for food reasonably priced and huge portions the staff were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble for Peter would highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful break away from home.

Fantastic cottage, everything was spot on with our stay, Peter the host was friendly and helpful couldnt do enough for us, would definitely recommend the cottage. Hot tub is massive, really great for having a chillout. Also the pub opposite the cottage does really good pub food, locals were friendly and we had a couple of good nights in there

Lovely cottage, beautifully renovated and super clean throughout. The owner had thought of everything we could need for a relaxing weeks holiday. Great location for exploring the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.

We enjoyed a few day's in this lovely cottage with my grandchildren. Plenty of walks and a short drive into Heysham, Morecambe and Lancaster. We visited Happy Mount Park and Williamson Park. The cottage was spotless with everything we needed. Just across the road is a lovely little pub with very good pub grub. The hot tub was an added bonus. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay we will be back soon.
