A perfect hideaway retreat that is just the right distance out of the village to escape the holiday crowds, but not so far as to be inconvenient. Very quiet and relaxing, and the night sky stargazing was incredible on the two nights we were there. We had two heavy frosts, but the cottage heats up quickly with the log fire and a heat pump (we didn't need it though). Very clean and tidy throughout, everything you need. No wifi, but that's a bonus in our books. Mike welcomed us in person and showed us around - the perfect host, and there was a delicious platter from Lizzy, plus fresh eggs from their hens. Will be recommending Woodbank Park to everyone we know who visits Hanmer.
