Val
Our second time staying at Woodend Bungalow. Very easy to find. House was a nice size for the 6 of us. Owner had left us milk, tea and coffee plus a very tasty homemade cake. Easy walks from the house using the many tracks from the old railway line. We were unfortunate with the weather so the games room plus table tennis was welcome when we couldn’t go out. Tesco of Coop were a 10 min walk or 3 min drive. Woodend pub just down the road was convenient for lunch, with a lovely carvery menu, staff there were very friendly and helpful. Overall a nice break for us.

The owners of this property were extremely welcoming and friendly. The kitchen was fully equipped to host our group of 10 people with the addition of the BBQ being a bonus during our sunny stay. We particularly enjoyed the games room which offered a range of games for all ages and a few toys for younger children. We loved that there was a large dining table in the living room, so we could all enjoy a meal together, but also enjoyed the outdoor seating area with beautiful views of the countryside. While some areas of the property are a bit dated, it was clean and had everything we needed for our family break away. There are kennels onsite so we could hear dogs at various times during the day but this wasnt particular excesive and could not be heard at night.
