Property Details
The Space
Inside
As you enter the property, you'll find yourself on a fully enclosed, south-facing paved terrace, accessible through elegant French doors. Step inside to discover a spacious and inviting kitchen, fully equipped for your culinary needs. Gather around the breakfast bar while the designated chef prepares dinner. With a Quooker tap at your disposal, brewing your morning coffee or pouring chilled sparkling water for a warm summer evening is effortless.
A hallway leads from the kitchen, featuring more French doors that open back onto the terrace. Conveniently located here is a ground-floor shower room with a generous double shower, perfect for rinsing off before enjoying a soak in the hot tub.
Continuing through the space, you'll be awed by the expansive lounge and dining area, characterized by high ceilings adorned with two stunning chandeliers and an exquisite hand-painted mural of the rolling Devon hills looking down to a Torbay-inspired coastline. Gather around the large dining table, which comfortably seats up to eight guests, before cozying up on the spacious L-shaped sofa or beanbag for a movie night in front of the Tv, or challenge friends to a game of Crokinole by the wood-burning stove.
A staircase invites you upstairs, where you'll find three serene bedrooms and a gym/yoga studio that includes a WaterRower and a workstation for those who need to catch up on emails while away. The master bedroom features a super king bed and an ensuite shower room, while the other two bedrooms each offer two single beds that can be converted to a super king on request. These two bedrooms share a family bathroom with a feature two person bath, ensuring comfort for all guests.

Step back in time as you wander through Cockington’s narrow lanes, a charming village with thatched houses dating back to the 16th century.

Wow, what an incredible place! Not only is the house absolutely stunning, but the décor is also beautifully tasteful and thoughtfully designed. Every detail has been carefully considered, making it both comfortable and high-quality—something that truly made all the difference. As a chef, I especially appreciated the state-of-the-art kitchen, which was a fantastic addition. We didn’t feel the need to eat out at all, instead enjoying cooking delicious meals for the whole family—including dessert! Despite the stormy weather, we were so glad we chose this place, as it had everything we needed for a perfect, cozy stay. The hot tub was a delight, even in the windy conditions, and we had such a wonderful time with our three children playing board games and watching Netflix in the evenings. We’ve stayed in many places across the UK, but this was truly one of the most impressive. The peaceful surroundings and the host’s quick and efficient support made the experience even better.

Woodpeckers was a wonderful place to stay. The house was beautiful with great facilities. We had a slight issue with the hot tub and there seemed to be a lack of communication from the management team. The owner however was super helpful and came to help within 10 minutes of us calling. We couldn’t fault his approach to the situation. It was a great place to catch up with friends who live in Cornwall. We will definitely be back to woodpeckers again.
