Not An Average Holiday Site! - Tripadvisor.co.uk 2022
Woodovis is AMAZING. Perfect size pitches. Eco friendly, outstanding facilities, extremely clean toilets and showers. The heated pool and hot tub were perfect and that was before we used the therapy room. There’s a doggie spa, games room & all of this powered by the solar panels. We absolutely loved and enjoyed our break and will definitely be back. Have also recommended to everyone and anyone we speak to!
