About this cottage rental
GROUND FLOOR LIVING The ground floor comprises a fantastic open-plan living area with comfy sofas, a magnificent stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, Sky television, a dining table seating over 16, a superb designer kitchen with AGA stove, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, wine cooler, and granite work surfaces. A recent addition is a fantastic conservatory / garden room. There is a cloakroom with toilet and wash basin, plus a utility area with washing machine and tumble dryer. The cottage has underfloor heating, finished with lovely, tiled floors, rugs, contemporary furnishings and decorations.
GROUND FLOOR SLEEPING To the left of the hallway are two spacious bedrooms. The first is a twin bedroom (that can be converted to a super king) with an en-suite with both bath and shower. The second has a double and a single bed. The large en-suite has a wet-room style walk-in shower area, which is wheelchair and disabled friendly. It has a large washbasin that you can actually get a wheelchair under and a large, illuminated mirror that comes down to the basin, so that you can see yourself in it, whilst in a wheelchair. We have also installed stylish grab-rails by the toilet and a large fold-down seat within the shower.
FIRST FLOOR The first floor comprises a large family bedroom, containing a king-size bed, and a single bed, and an en-suite shower room. There are also 2 double bedrooms – one with an en-suite shower room and the other with an en-suite bathroom. The sleeping accommodation is completed by a spacious twin bedroom (with two single beds that can be converted into one super-king-size bed on request), with an en-suite shower room, plus a small single bedroom especially suitable for a child.
COTTAGE GARDEN To the rear of the cottage is a raised decked area that has artificial grass, looking out into woodland with outdoor dining furniture and a private garden where you will see and hear the resident woodpeckers! Creating an ideal spot in which to enjoy the afternoon sun and sunsets, we have also added a new covered outdoor seating area at the side of the cottage, which offers great views across to the coast and towards the Lake District, and a huge fire-pit built into a seating area at the front.

This is a very comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped cottage, with great host communication. It was perfect for our family gathering over New Year, with one of the great assets being all the en-suite bathrooms. Lovely rural location with great walks locally and further afield. The only negative I can think of is the constant hum from the M6, which is a very minor point.

Enjoyed all the facilities, tennis court, Pizza Oven and firepit. The lounge with log burner was a perfect place to enjoy a read and play board games.

Had a fantasic reunion for 7 cousins and 5 partners. Woodpecker was clean, warm and great value for such an event. We will be back!

We had a really enjoyable stay at Woodpecker Cottage.
We were celebrating a 60th birthday and 60th anniversary, there was plenty of room for all 13 family members inside the property and we enjoyed the outside space using all the facilities.
The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. The bedrooms/bedding/towels all lovely and clean. We would recommend a stay at this property.

Fantastic time had by all. We loved it, our children loved it and our grandchildren loved it.
We would thoroughly recommend this holiday to others. Lots of walks , plenty for the kids to do.
First class holiday and the staff are great and helpful.

This super-clean, well equipped, accessible property with fantastic views was a joy to stay in.
The owner's personal welcome visit was nice touch along with starter supplies of essential. items.
NB This property's very rural location makes driving on very narrow country lanes essential.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay and I would highly recommend the cottage. The hosts were exceptionally kind and the guidebook and all other information provided was incredibly helpful. We had the most wonderful time!

Thank you so much for a wonderful, magical Christmas stay that brought our extended family together for the first time ever! We loved the welcoming atmosphere - gorgeous Christmas decorations, very cosy and everything we needed.
The Aga was a new experience and your guidance helped it to be less overwhelming. In the end we mastered it and had the most amazing meals.
All rooms were comfortable and my Dad particularly liked the accessibility of his groundfloor room - one of the main reasons for choosing the property.
The stove was beautiful and we appreciated the logs that you provided to provide the cosiness that Christmas demands.
The views were amazing on the clear days and will stay with us forever.
The property had everything we needed and our one request to sort something was promptly responded to.
A home from home which was comfortable for all of us and gave us plenty of space to enjoy our Christmas together.
We would definitely recommend this property for a large group and we hope to return one day.

As a group of 6 couples, this is the third time we have stayed in this property. The facilities meet the needs of the group perfectly. The communication with the owners is excellent, as is the location, the cleanliness, condition and location. Using the AGA in the kitchen takes some getting used to, but it's not a problem. The property isn't cheap to rent, but I guess you get what you pay for.
I would certainly recommend this property. We will be back!

Excellent Accommodation for a birthday gathering of friends. Everyone appreciated that their bedrooms were all en-suite, affording them privacy and ease of use. It was great to be able to gather in the conservatory around the wood burner on the autumnal evenings. Kitchen and dining facilities excellent. We were all delighted with the venue. Thanks to Beth and team for getting it ready for our arrival. The app that is available for the property was extremely easy to use providing comprehensive and useful information.
Thank you ,

I booked 4 of the 5 Barnacre cottages and Woodpecker was the hub of all our celebrations. The large open plan kitchen/ living area/ conservatory was perfect to accommodate all 32 of my family. 4 generations gathered comfortably and the downstairs bedroom with disabled en-suite was perfect for my elderly Dad.
In addition the outside fire pit enabled us to celebrate bonfire night with a roaring fire and schmorz. The location is a little remote, but the plus side was that we didn’t disturb anybody with our noisy crew and the large field to the front of the cottage is perfect for family games.
It is a little expensive, but if you want quality and luxury then you get what you pay for.

We stayed at Woodpecker cottage over October half term with our family, children and dogs. The house was fabulous with 6 out of 7 bedrooms having en suite bathrooms plus a downstairs toilet in the utility room, so there was never any queuing for the loo. The living space was big enough for 12 of us to spread out comfortably and the open plan kitchen was very well equipped. It took us a while to get the hang of the Aga, but were amazed that it seemed to keep the whole house warm..( we didn’t even need to light the wonderful log burner in the conservatory). We really enjoyed the outside space where we had a BBQ, homemade woodfired pizzas and a fire pit….all the logs were provided. On one clear night we even lay down on the picnic benches to stargaze and another night we could see a firework display as far away as Bleckpool. The owners were very helpful and provided everything we needed. I can highly recommend this beautiful place in a beautiful part of the country.

The settimg was beautiful and the house was so spacious Especially good for my friend who is in a wheelchair. We will most definitely come back here and stay again.

From the moment we arrived until we left everything was fabulous. We were a group of 11 women and couldn't fault the cottage. Cottage really isn't a proper description because the property is huge and there was plenty of room for us all.
It was spotlessly clean and bright and airy. Beth and Terry were so helpful. Terry even towed out one of our vehicles which got stuck on a grass bank.
The only recommendations I would suggest to the owners would be a) to supply toiletries and b) an electronic insect killer. The latter because the Cottage was very warm we had to keep all the windows open and we were bombarded by flies.
These are only minor because everything else was wonderful.

Everything is just right.We have been coming to Barnacre Cottages for years and it is a well kept cottage. Somewhere that we can chill. Lovely walks, lovely scenery. We could not ask for more.

If you need a large cottage for a family gathering in this part of Lancashire, look no further. My multi generational family group of 15 plus an infant (who had travelled from the south of England and USA) had a wonderful week here.
Being originally from Preston, but having long since moved south, the ninetieth birthday of my mother was the spur to gather my children and grandchildren in Lancashire for a week to celebrate that event and enjoy time together exploring some of the places I remember so fondly from my childhood days.
Woodpecker Cottage was the perfect venue for us. With en-suite facilities the bedrooms were great. We loved the open plan space in the kitchen and lounge areas. And we made great use of the outside kitchen with its bbq and wood fired pizza oven. Sitting round the outside fire pit making s’mores and playing guitars as the sun set over the Irish Sea and Morecambe Bay was pure magic.
Away from the cottage we enjoyed the local joys of places like Beacon Fell and Bock Bottoms where countless children must have enjoyed paddling and making dams in the river Brock over the years. On our one rainy day we enjoyed the delights of the Flower Bowl, trying our hand at Curling.
I’m not sure when or if I will be able to gather my family together again in the North West, but if we do Woodpecker Cottage will be our first choice of venue.
Thank you for a wonderful cottage to make special family memories.

Customer service from the property owners was outstanding with rapid response to questions and requests. The electronic guide book is brilliant. Property was perfect for 4 generations to get together, with enough space for everyone. Outside facilities are great too and the location is fab.

Spacious property for large group
Loads of space, every room en suite which was brilliant. Owners couldn’t be more helpful. Bathrooms very modern but could do with some update in other areas, for example the outside area. Bar stools rusted, tables in need of repair, general weeding and tidy up.

Lovely family holiday
Great place to stay for our family, wheelchair accessible, although not so easy to access conservatory. The swings, chickens and pigs were enjoyed by the children The fire pit, pizza oven and BBQ we're enjoyed by all, especially those who like fires! The aga in the kitchen took a bit of getting used to, very hot all the time, so had to try and block it off from crawling babies. Managed a swim in the sea at Blackpool and Fleetwood, the sea was too far out at Morecambe! Williamson Park, Lancaster, worth a visit.

Reunion
Second stay at Woodpecker just as enjoyable as first. We really appreciate the disabled facilities which are excellent. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. I highly recommend a visit.

Another wonderful week!
We have stayed in Woodpecker several times and would recommend to anyone. There are 14 family members - 3 generations who all enjoy it. Our granddaughter is severely disabled but because of the ease of access for wheelchairs she too is able to benefit from this wonderful property. The hosts are so friendly and helpful and the facilities both inside and outdoors are excellent. We will be returning again next year!

Lovey Stay
What a wonderful spot for our family get together. Having so many bathrooms was excellent and the views were stunning
We did a great circular walk which was perfect for all... aged 18 months to 84.
Kitchen was well equipped although the Aga took some getting to grips with! The cake was a wonderful touch too.
We did struggle with the recycling and refuse arrangements.. there didn't seem to be enough outside bins to put everything in.
