We had a wonderful experience at Woodovis. The site and facilities are spotless. The team were lovely and welcoming. Things like the snack shack and ordering freshly baked goods were such a bonus. They were very helpful after a break down en route. Would highly recommend Woodovis.

Happy holiday– Tripadvisor.co.uk 2025
We stayed in the cottage at Woodovis and it’s quite possibly one of the best places we’ve stayed in. It smelled lovely when we arrived and was very clean. There was a welcome gift for both us and our dogs which was a really nice touch. The cottage has it’s own little garden with beautiful roses growing, it’s perfect if you have dogs, it’s nice to be able to let them have a similar freedom to what they would have at home.
