Woodpecker Cottage Reviews

Lovely host. Left Welsh cakes and Easter cakes for us on arrival. The cottage was absolutely perfect. Had everything we needed, I even could do a roast dinner on the Sunday. Couldn't rate this place any higher.
Elizabeth
What a lovely cottage ! It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Although it is at the top of a hill, it was in a great location, close to Llangollen and the surrounding areas and there were lots of lovely walks that could be done from the cottage. Perfect.
