Guests say
Guests have had a delightful experience at Woodpecker, praising its peaceful location, cleanliness, and proximity to beautiful beaches and local amenities. The property is well-equipped for self-catering, with comfortable beds and a good shower. The surrounding woodland adds charm, though it limits direct sunlight. The on-site campsite is well-regarded, and the property team is commended for their responsiveness.
Reviewers consistently mention the immaculate condition of the property, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The property's location is highly appreciated for its tranquility, easy access to Hayle, beaches, and transport links, making it an ideal base for exploring Cornwall.
The property is described as comfortable and a 'home from home', though one review notes the bunk beds are more suited to children due to space constraints.
Facilities are generally praised, including the kitchenette and shower. However, a non-functioning Wi-Fi and a mention of limited sunlight on the deck suggest some room for improvement.
While guests are overall pleased, there is a single mention of a pre-ordered item not being provided. Without further comments on thoughtfulness or gifts, it is not possible to accurately 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 nearest town is Hayle, a 5-minute drive or a 25-minute walk, and is known for its wonderful beaches. 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.
