Confirmed Guest
Woody's was a very comfortable and spacious apartment. The lounge and bed were great and the shower and kitchen roomy. We couldn't fit our SUV into the parking provided so had to park on the street. Luckily there was plenty of free parking on the road. Leaflets were provided for all appliances except the washer/dryer which was the one we really needed. Also there was virtually no clothes detergent and no tablets for the dishwasher. Overall I would recommend Woody's especially if the items mentioned were attended to.

This was a great townhouse in picturesque Bownes, very clean and well presented with comfortable bedrooms and plenty of space for 5. Very good local amenities, with easy acces to cafes restaurants and great walks. Pleased to find parking provided given that theres nothing available on the surrounding streets.
