Woodlands Retreat Reviews

Alfred
We booked Woodlands retreat for our family of 8. We thought the house was clean and comfortable and met most of our needs although kitchen equipment was limited.We like to cook as a family and seriously struggled with what was provided.We really liked the holiday park it was clean and the dog field and football pitch was a big hit.We would book this house again unfortunately the add on Sykes said the house had WiFi.It did not and of course this affected the smart tv as well.If you are considering booking this house you should check first with Sykes because their add is inaccurate.
Lauchlan
Overall, it was a very nice house. However, there was a few issues. Despite being advertised the house has no WiFi and very little signal so data also doesn't work for the most part. The hall light is partially smashed, the hot tub was never maintained and became unusable by day 4. The location is beautiful and the park facilities are pretty nice. The conservatory side of the house also had not seen a hoover or cloth as it was covered in spider webs. The livingdining room was the highlight of the home and was a great size with comfortable seating for us all. All staff encountered were very nice however despite complaints about the hot tub, nothing ever happened even though promises were made.

Out of all of the Go Ape! courses the one in Cheshire is the most spread out and it takes staff ten minutes to patrol the site on bike - which gives a good indication of the size of this place.  If you're looking for an adventurous and memorable day out then Go Ape is highly recommended.  Trek through the treetops, swing between the trees and enjoy zip wire rides all as part of your experience.  This attraction opens every day from the end of March to end October and is open on weekends in November.  Go Ape Cheshire is closed every Tuesday except school holidays.
