About this property
Woodpecker is a beautiful, Scandinavian A-frame lodge in Weybourne Forest, set high on the hill above the popular coastal village of Weybourne, and within a short drive of Sheringham, Cromer and the lovely Georgian market town of Holt. With open-plan, light and airy living space and two outside decked seating areas which take advantage of the forest views, Woodpecker is a wonderful, woodland bolthole, ideal for families or groups of friends all year round.
The detached lodge has three bedrooms (one of which is on the ground floor) and two bathrooms. The stunning full-height, open-plan living area is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the peaceful location. Super insulated and double glazed, you will be kept lovely and cosy in the winter months and in the summer, slide open the large glass door from the living area, sit on the spacious decked balcony and soak in the sounds of the woodland. There is also a second decked balcony on the first floor, offering great woodland views from on high.
Woodpecker is a brilliant place to stay if you like the outdoors; there are some pretty woodland trails to explore from right outside the door, the National Trust's Sheringham Park and Kelling Heath are close by, and the North Norfolk coastal path is a short drive (or longish walk!) away. Woodpecker is dog friendly and will appeal to multi-generational families, friends, walkers, cyclists, nature lovers and birdwatchers year-round - basically, all round Norfolk fans!

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at Woodpecker. We only wish we could have stayed longer. It felt clean and very spacious. Being set in the forest, we loved how dark and away from everything we felt. Also loved the little touches like there was plenty of cutlery and cooking utensils for eating in. We're hoping to go back again!

A fantastic lodge in wonderful surroundings. Dogs enjoyed the lovely walks straight from the lodge. Shame about the weather, but you can't have everything! Enjoyed the peace and quiet.
