Everyone who stays at Woodside say it is cosy and comfortable, is a real home from home , has a great dog friendly pub nearby to walk to and fabulous walks from the door.
* ❤️Woodside is an historic, luxury cottage, ideal for couples and families. 250 years old with all mod cons.
*❤️It was a lodging house for the young mill workers from the Stott Park Bobbin Mill (as featured on BBC 1's Britain's Hidden Heritage) and today the mill is owned by English Heritage. You'll be staying in a piece of history! It is nearly 250 years old yet with all mod cons!

* And with the hidden gem of High Dam Tarn a short walk away, which was much favoured by Alfred Wainwright, you're in for a treat!!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2023
Cleanest stay ever and everything you need. We were disappointed we couldn’t walk to the pub at night as it’s just too dangerous with narrow busy road and no footpath, other than that brilliant. Thank you
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2023
Nicely decorated, quaint cottage. There is everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lots of lovely walks nearby and the Bobbin Mill is definitely worth a visit. The spa that features heavily in its marketing is quite a drive away and pretty dated. We only went once and it isn’t really a great addition to the property. No pubs or restaurants in very easy walking distance as you have to walk on the roads. Lots of instructions and rules taped up on the walls.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2019
From the description I thought this cottage was private but in fact it is in a row of cottages, and other houses surrounding it. There is an area at the back of the cottage where you park your cars that has a patio with table and chairs, but in October it didnt get the sun. When you walk out of the front door there is a paved strip that goes along the outside of the house and joins two other cottages, its wide enough to put a couple of benches on (but this isnt allowed). You then have a gravel area which is about two car widths which you cross to get to the very overgrown area of the garden. Next door cottage has a strip of garden too that is a bit more open. The night before we went I got information that said we were not to put chairs outside of the front door and sit there as the cottage did not own this land and there had been complaints if holiday makers did this. It was a shame because this area of the cottage got the sun during the day and it would have been nice to be able to sit somewhere in the sun. There were as far as we could make out 6 houses/cottages in this complex, with the gravel area in front of our cottage being the drive way to a couple of houses. Inside the cottage it was brilliant, everywhere was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the showers excellent. It also has a downstairs toilet which was very useful. The kitchen was well equipped and the oven and hob were excellent. The internet speed was the best yet in a rented cottage. It did smell a bit of dogs in the front room when we had the log fire lit. The sofas were comfortable for 4 of us. The telly was a good size too, with Sky available. They provided two logs for the first evening and kindling. The area is amazing, and we all enjoyed our walks especially to the water falls. I loved the cottage inside, but was really disappointed about the outside.
