Woodpecker Lodge

Woodpecker cottage was an excellent place to stay. The owners who lived adjacent were really pleasant and unobtrusive. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well laid out for all our needs. The location was ideal for exploring the local area.

Excellent accommodation for us visiting relatives in the area. Very clean and comfortable, a peaceful and quiet location but with local shops which provide everything you need for self catering. We ate 2 meals at local Rising Sun pub, both very good in a friendly atmosphere. Can recommend the Portsmouth ‘ Park and ride” for visiting the historic dockyard. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly,would certainly stay again.

Lovely welcome and welcome pack. Due to the heat we were given two fans to cool us down which was very thoughtful. However, the cottage was smaller than we imagined and could not sit 6 people (we were only two so fine for us), the double bed creaked badly and the seating was not exactly comfortable. Good equipment, bad driveway, and rather overpriced.

A very comfortable & well-equipped 3-bedroom house. It was wonderful to go into self-catering accommodation without first feeling the need to clean various aspects of it. We found the location ideal for getting to Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester, Chichester & Petersfield but the local amenities were few, if this matters to you (a pub, a couple of takeaways & a small Nisi supermarket).

Excellent cottage with lots to do within easy reach but you do need a car. Friendly owners. 6 adults would struggle in the lounge area.

Tricky to find (off of a busy, fast road). No local amenities, so go prepared. Unable to regulate heating without contacting owners (???). Saying that it suited our requirements, that is a base to explore.

We found Woodpecker Lodge to be immaculately clean, well equipped and nicely located for lots of different activities. The lodge is attached to the owner's property, which is set well back from the road down a private drive, and surrounded by trees. Everything has been arranged cleverly to preserve your privacy and the privacy of the owners, who are very friendly and not at all intrusive. There's plenty of parking, and a car will be needed to make the most of the location. The property is outside of a village so there aren't amenities immediately on the doorstep, but plenty within a 5 minute drive. We found the beds comfortable. There are three bedrooms - two doubles with en-suite and a twin. There is a separate toilet downstairs, but those in the twin room will need to use either en-suite... which is worth knowing if you stay as a mixed party. Whilst the property can sleep 6, the living accommodation is possibly a little on the small side for that many. We stayed with our two children, so we only used two of the bedrooms, and the two 2-seater sofas worked fine for us. The kitchen is well equipped - we found everything we needed. There is a half and half fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher etc. Washing machine too, which is very useful. WiFi speeds are acceptable for browsing, emails and YouTube/TV at around 8Mbit/sec down and 0.6 up. A whole family using it at the same time might struggle. I needed to do a couple of Zoom business video calls whilst we were there, and it wasn't really suitable. Mobile internet on the Three network is very fast at this location, so no problem for us. I would recommend this property for families who want a comfortable base for days out. There's lots to do in the nearby area. The standard of cleanliness is absolutely top-notch. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again - absolutely excellent!

We had a lovely family holiday here for a week. A perfect location for exploring, but enough shops etc on the doorstep. Absolutely can't fault the cleanliness of the lodge. It was really cosy and the hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful!
