We had the best week staying at woodys. the property feels much bigger than the pictures. It had everything we needed and felt like a home away from home. The small added extras including the artwork and even the board games really gave it a personal touch. The location was amazing and perfectly close to everything. I would highly recommend and would love to visit again.

Very comfortable stay with just about everything you need. The parking space is very tight but easy enough to park on the street as well. The king room with en suite had a squeaky bed and something on the roof knocks in the wind but lovely other than that. Found the welcome book with appliance instructions really helpful. Location is spot on.
