Fantastic
Just had a fantastic 10 night stay at Woodovis, lovely welcome from all the staff. The site is very clean and well run, quiet location, plenty of space. In our view this site easily beats competitors including the biggest organizations in Britain, they could learn from Woodovis.

Five star park. We stayed here in our caravan and were more than impressed with this site and the friendly helpful staff. The site is well situated and spotlessly clean and well kept. Ample facilities including heated indoor pool and hot tub, plenty of hot showers and washing up facilities. The park is visited by Poppins mobile bar, the hog roast & pizza van several times a week. Fresh bread is available to order in the shop which has a good selection of all essential supplies. I will definitely be back. Tripadvisor.co.uk 2020
