Woodpecker Castle Farm Reviews

Emma Carter
We had a great stay at this cosy cottage. It had all the essentials for two adults, three kidsand our dog. Ellesmere and Ty Mawr country park are lovely spots. We enjoyed meals at the Boathouse and Red Lion - both fantastic. Definitely recommend Woodpecker Cottage. Thanks a lot!
