Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the foot of Beacon Fell, this wonderful holiday cottage boasts spectacular views over the stunning surrounding countryside from both the open plan living space and all-important hot tub. Full of character throughout once you enter Woodpecker Cottage, you’ll immediately notice the double height beamed vaulted ceiling, and spiral stairs that lead to a mezzanine bedroom.
Quite uniquely within the bedroom itself includes an en-suite shower discreetly hidden behind a frosted screen.
You’ll also enjoy fabulous luxury touches such as underfloor heating to the lower level, a wood burner for cosy winter evenings and externally the spacious hot tub is set beneath a superb wooden gazebo meaning you can relax and recoup no matter what the weather.
Patio doors open from the open plan living space onto the spacious patio which overlooks a lake and beautiful countryside as far as the eye can see. Located in the tiny hamlet of Whitechapel, a stone’s throw from not one but two award winning gin distilleries, one a gin school, one has a quirky gin distillery where you can call in for tastings and a cake.
There’s also a local pub with great food within walking distance.
The surrounding area is full of charming villages which also provide a good selection of quality restaurants, quaint tea rooms, shops and traditional pubs to accommodate most taste. The Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers 312 square miles and you’ll find the landscape has immense diversity with spectacular woodland, moorland and farmland to explore.
You’ll find ample paths and lanes to follow direct from the door and many closer by including the popular Nicky Nook and Grizedale Valley.
The summit of Beacon Fell is 266 metres above sea level and as you’d imagine offers spectacular views over the Forest of Bowland and Morecambe Bay, and on a clear day it’s even possible to see the Isle of Man.
Lancaster, the Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria and the Lake District are all within easy reach for days out, and finally if you fancy a change of scenery, the Fylde Coast and popular resorts of Blackpool and Lytham St Annes. Please note: There are open, steep, spiral or narrow stairs at the property. Free WiFi There are open, steep, spiral or narrow stairs at the property. Only dogs allowed at the property. There is open water in the property grounds. Suitable for up to 1 pet

Our 2nd visit to Woodpecker Cottage and we'll be back again. Gorgeous lodge, fabulous hot tub and spotlessly clean.We walked many miles over the 3 day stay as the area has so many great hikes in close proximity.Everything is catered for, kitchen is really well equipped and the sunrise/ sunset views from the lodge are simply stunning. Thank you Sally and Rob for another excellent stay.

The most beautiful cottage in the most beautiful place. The cottage itself was amazing. Everything was quality and so many little touches that you didn’t expect.
