Woodpeckers Cottage is a modern barn conversion that sits within the boundaries of Silpho Brow Cottage, part of an old farmstead which dates back to the 1700’s. The cottage has views of the sea, open countryside and forest. It offers near level access with ample parking space. There is immediate access to a bridleway from the private drive and this leads to many other footpaths and forest tracks. From the cottage windows you can see an abundance of birds that have been fed from the garden for many years. Deer, badgers, hares, rabbits, foxes and bats are often seen on the approach to the cottage. Birds visiting the garden are varied and include Spotted Woodpeckers ( there are currently 3!) Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Robins, Yellow Hammers, Magpies, Jays, Pheasants, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Dunnock, Wrens, Collared Doves, Hawks, Buzzards, Sparrows, Barn Owl and, at some times of the year there are the talented Starlings who perform wonderful murmurations. There is very little light pollution at the cottage which allows guests to watch the most amazing Moonrise’s and star filled skies.

Woodpeckers Cottage can be booked directly or via AIrBnB and you don't need to have lessons in order to stay. Reviews for the cottage (and the now infamous Lemon Drizzle Cake!) can be viewed byclicking here
