Notes: Although Woodpecker Cottage is not suitable for those confined to wheelchairs, we have grab-rails on the stairs and in the Waterbabies shower - and our 90 year old mother (and other people's elderly mothers and fathers) have enjoyed happy days at the cottage: if you can manage one flight of stairs you'll be OK; and there are WCs on each floor. It is possible to turn the downstairs study into a bedroom by bringing down one of the folding single beds from upstairs. The downstairs Cloakroom is on the same level as the study, and very close to it. The garden is fully enclosed, and so is wonderful for small children (there are places to hide in the bushes), and we provide toys and a folding sandpit and paddling pool, which are great in the summer. In the autumn you can pick raspberries at the bottom of the garden! The garden is very well kept and we are proud of our summer borders. Birds abound. We feed them, and so do most of our guests. You will see woodpeckers . . .

Super Cottage

Clahol Knaresborough, North Yorkshire
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Really delighted with Woodpecker cottage - really super and just what we need - lovely and light and with good open living areas and very well equipped. As I write this, I can hear the children giggling in the garden – discovering all its secret delights.

Excellent facilities, wonderful location. Highlight of the week was the garden party and reunion we gave at this great cottage with all our British relatives. Saw lots of wildlife including an adder in the Lane outside! In summary: fantastic week.

The cottage is comfortable and the organisation of everything in it is outstanding. The garden and the views are delightful. We much enjoyed the varied bird life and the friendly visiting cat. The weather wasn't fine but the holiday was.
