Great Place
Everything was great. We are even talking about getting a bigger group together and staying here again when there is better weather! All in all, great stay!

We love Woodcote! We have enjoyed several stays there. Our one ongoing struggle with the rental is that the fire wood is wet and there is no kindling or paper provided. A key feature to Woodcote in the winter is sitting by a fire in the beautiful fireplace but it is very difficult to get a fire going and keep it going.

Great place to accommodate a large family!
It was wonderful to have our family stay together in one home! There's a number of bedrooms and enough bathrooms too. The great room is a perfect place for larger gatherings. Lovely setting too!
