Woodpeckers B&B

14th July 2018:

Enjoyed it immensely. It was a beautiful location topped with friendly welcoming hosts, Sue and Brian, who cooked a delicious brekkie! The Cottage was just what we wanted and more. Amazing surroundings which is teaming with wild life, and if you like animals Pancake the sheep will make this stay for you. Perfect stay all round!

Would Recommend: Yes

We had a lovely, lovely time meeting Sue and Brian. Wonderful hosts and Sue was so lovely with my daughter, Scarlett.

Ice cream at Sundae's Child in Romsey, take a bike ride through the forest in Burley, and of course Peppa Pig world!

Would Recommend: Yes

27th November 2017:

a stunning self contained 'cottage' hidden away from any main roads/noise. Sue and her family were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was made to order, plentiful and delicious! We would have liked to have had the self catering cottage but this was unavailable, we will hopefully book that one when we return! Thank you for a lovely weekend.

Would Recommend: Yes

The lodge is beautiful and well maintained. It was spotless inside and the little touches like a jar of sweets and biscuits were lovely. The grounds were peaceful and the staff were friendly and happy to help, they made you feel at home.

It's with in 10 mins drive of both paultons park and marwell zoo.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th June 2017:

Warm welcome, nothing too much trouble. Great place for young children, the little touches like the Frozen themed cutlery and the children's bedding were much appreciated by our grandaughter. Lovely breakfast. We will definitely stay again.

Paultons Park great fun but avoid Peppa Pig World too early in the day if you don't want to queue for the rides.. We ate in the Cromwell Arms, nice food but service slow. The New Forest is very close by.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th July 2016:

Beautiful peaceful location - comfortable accommodation, particularly the bed. Delicious breakfast. We appreciated the fridge. As there is a fridge, microwave and dining table we feel it would be helpful to provide plates and cutlery just in case people do want to eat in in the evening.

For a B&B this is outstanding - privacy, living and sleeping space in clean, well furnished accommodation. All set in peaceful and pretty surroundings, with excellent breakfasts!

Ideal as a base for the New Forest, or to avoid staying in Southampton. Also note Woodpeckers provide self catering accommodation for longer stays.

We've just returned from a great 3 night stay at the woodpeckers b&b We took our 3 year old to Peppa pig world and stayed in the nuthatch as a base to also visit the seaside The facilities are great, just everything you need and the breakfast in the main house made by Sue is lovely and sets you up for the day! Sue is the perfect host and makes you feel very welcome and at home, and also recommended some nice places for us to visit Our daughter loved having her breakfast every morning in the main house and also feeding "pancake" the sheep! A lovely, quiet place to stay I would throughly recommend

The nuthatch doesn't have a kitchen but has a full size fridge and little table for all essential/picnic things and the bedroom easily fits 3 with a z bed for a toddler!

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd July 2015:

We really enjoyed our stay. We would recommend that a sign be put at the end of the road to assist in finding the property and it would be great if the pressure in the shower was a bit stronger, but other than that, we would fully recommend staying at Woodpeckers!!

The Star pub serves a great burger and chips and the Sir Harold Hillier gardens are definitely worth a visit.

Sue & Brian are really friendly & welcoming. They were really lovely with our girls (one who is 3 the other 1). When we left, our eldest asked, 'when are we coming back here?'. The rooms are great, clean & enough space. Breakfast was really good. Novelty ideas on serving breakfast to campers - definitely made us want to come back & explore the area more.

They were very lovely facilities.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th September 2013:

The accommodation was perfect for our two night stay in September. Woodpeckers is in a secluded position but is nonetheless conveniently located for access to the M27 and of course Peppa Pig World (the reason for our visit). There were some very nice little touches such as the Peppa Pig duvet cover on the spare bed, jigsaws in the lounge area and plate at Breakfast, which immediately endeared our 3 year old to the accommodation- she felt right at home from the off. The only draw back was the lack of a kitchen / kitchenette facility (although we did have tea and coffee making facilities and a small fridge). This was not a problem for us as we were only staying two nights but might be difficult for a family staying for longer. Brian and Sue's hospitality is great- they are welcoming, helpful and friendly. All in all a very good experience and we will be recommending Woodpeckers to friends / family travelling to the area.

We chose this accommodation as it was close to Peppa Pig World, which was absolutely brilliant. Our three year old loved it and we comfortably spent a day there without her getting bored. Our tip for Peppa Pig World is to take your child's swimming costume and towel for the 'muddy puddles' area! The location generally made it very easy to visit surrounding places including Salisbury (1/2 an hour away), Bournemouth and even Portsmouth (about 45 minutes away) where the new Gunwharf Quay development is worth a visit for some retail therapy!

Would Recommend: Yes

14th September 2013:

Very welcoming and friendly

Would Recommend: Yes

12th September 2013:

Gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast brought to us was great. Hope to visit again.

Prezzo restaurant great for getting in and out with kids nice and quickly (main arrived seconds after starters had been taken away) but maybe a bit rushed if it was a romantic meal for two. View from Lepe beach to Isle of Wight stunning on a sunny day!

Sue and Brian run this B&B to such a high standard you can see why the guest book has the same names in it returning time and time again.Love the peaceful setting and the great breakfasts.

We enjoyed our stay at Woodpeckers and found it provided us with everything we needed for our two day stay. Sue was a perfect host, being very friendly and approachable. The breakfast was very good.

Salisbury with its magnificant cathedral is a lovely city and well worth spending a couple of days. The park and ride is on the short journay from woodpeckers and easy to use.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st May 2012:

Absolutely Fabulous- Brian & Sue are so warm and welcoming. They gave us lots of information on the area drawing us maps and leaving useful leaflets in our room. The cottage was lovely and quite spacious. Very quiet and relaxing. We will be returning in the near future and would recommend this. Breakfast was also fantastic!

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd April 2012:

Woodpeckers is truly 5 star! A beautiful, immaculately clean 'cottage' in a peaceful location. Our hosts, Brian and Sue, were very friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was delicious. I have already recommended this B&B to friends and work colleagues, and we will definitely return.

The Hatchet pub, Romsey Abbey and Mottifont are well worth a visit, as is Beaulieu.

Pity about the pot holes on unmade road leading up to Woodpeckers. A sign from Newtown indicating direction of Woodpeckers would have been helpful.

Fab little hide-away, lovely to be in a separate anex and with a lounge thrown in. Staff very friendly and helpful, lovely cooked breakfast with quality meat.

1st December 2011:

Lovely to have a separate lounge and wonderful, tasty breakfasts. Good to have a vegetarian hot food option which many bed and breakfasts choose to ignore so we didn't feel second best. A real 'getaway from it all' place.

31st July 2011:

Woodpeckers is down a gravel road, with no through-road, so it is a very quiet and tranquil location. The only downside to this was there isn't much within easy walking distance. Nice clean and light rooms. Nice bathroom. Great breakfast. Nice owners. Not so good was the tiny noisy fridge and the non-digital television which limited you to about 5 channels. But you probably aren't visiting the New Forest to sit inside and watch TV.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th July 2011:

Very friendly people, in a quiet location with good food.

Paultons Park, very worthwhile visit if you have children below 10.
