Home description
This charming character cottage is loved by all who stay in her. Fitted with every modern convenience, from hairdryers and hugely comfortable beds to Sky Sports and wireless broadband, Woodpecker Cottage is situated on the borders of three of England’s most beautiful counties: Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. That makes this it the perfect place from which to explore the English home counties, while popping up to London (an hour away in one direction) or down to the South Coast beaches (an hour the other way). Woodpecker Cottage is also within easy reach of Guildford, Aldershot etc. for people temporarily employed in the area. A gorgeous enclosed garden and a sunken 'waterbabies' bahtroom (like a small swimming pool to little children) make Woodpecker a fabulous venue for young families.
