Guests say
Guests have had a delightful stay at Woodpecker, praising its immaculate condition, comfortable amenities, and the helpfulness of the owners. The surrounding woodland adds charm, although it limits direct sunlight. The property's proximity to Hayle and its beaches, as well as easy rail access, is appreciated. While there was a minor issue with Wi-Fi and a mention of missing pre-ordered pastries, these were not significant detractions from the overall positive experiences.
Reviewers consistently describe the property as immaculate and clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded for its attractiveness and convenience to Hayle, beaches, and rail access, though the lack of direct sunlight due to woodland may not suit all preferences.
The property is praised for its comfort and homely feel. However, the rear bunk bed room is noted to be tight for space, which may affect comfort for some guests.
While the property is described as well-equipped, with a great kitchenette and overall well-maintained, there is a mention of Wi-Fi not working. Without more information on the resolution of this issue, it is not possible to accurately score facilities and maintenance.
The owners are mentioned as welcoming and helpful, which reflects thoughtfulness. However, there is no specific mention of gifts, and the missed pastries, while a minor disappointment, were not guaranteed, so it is not possible to score this category.

Located in Hayle, it is only a 5-minute drive to the 3 miles of golden sand at Gwithian Beach, popular for water sports and a favourite for families. The coffee shop here provides hot and cold refreshments. If you travel 15 minutes towards Penzance you will come to the market town of Marazion, home to St Michael’s Mount where you can walk across the causeway at low tide to visit the gardens and castle. It is well worth a day out to pop into the local galleries and shops or stop for a pasty or ice cream. The younger ones will love the large play area near the car park.
St Ives is just under 10 miles away. Why not catch the open top bus or train where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and not have to worry about finding a parking space?

The one long street joins the historic Foundry District to the shops of the Copperhouse District. Popular with artists, photographers, dog walkers, nature lovers and water sports lovers, this is a great base to explore the local area and unwind.

A well equipped shepherd’s hut lodge in an attractive location 2mins drive from Hayle and its fabulous beaches; 10 mins from StErth station and easy rail access to St.Ives. Great kitchenette making self catering easy. Lovely design and comfortable but note that the rear bunk bed room has climb in pod style beds suited more to younger children as it’s tight for space. Not a criticism but something to be aware of. Parking is easy and very close by. Surrounded by woodland which is lovely for shade and wildlife , with a table to sit at on the deck, though you will not get sun. The adjoining tent camp site seems well run and there’s a little shop on site. Wi-Fi in this hut wasn’t working but the site owner was keen to sort that issue asap.
