There is a separate bedroom with bunk bed, ideal for putting children to bed whilst you enjoy the dark night skies or curl up on the sofa with a book or watch a film. The main area has a double bed, a modern kitchenette and table with fold away chairs for four guests, whilst at the rear is a spacious shower room.

Located in Hayle, it is only a 5-minute drive to the 3 miles of golden sand at Gwithian Beach, popular for water sports and a favourite for families. The coffee shop here provides hot and cold refreshments. If you travel 15 minutes towards Penzance you will come to the market town of Marazion, home to St Michael’s Mount where you can walk across the causeway at low tide to visit the gardens and castle. It is well worth a day out to pop into the local galleries and shops or stop for a pasty or ice cream. The younger ones will love the large play area near the car park.
St Ives is just under 10 miles away. Why not catch the open top bus or train where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and not have to worry about finding a parking space? The nearest town is Hayle, a 5-minute drive or a 25-minute walk, and is known for its wonderful beaches. The one long street joins the historic Foundry District to the shops of the Copperhouse District. Popular with artists, photographers, dog walkers, nature lovers and water sports lovers, this is a great base to explore the local area and unwind.

The pods are in an excellent location meaning you can easily access both North and South coast. The campsite is quiet and the pods are in a woodland area on the edge. We have stayed in a number of different types of pod in the past and these are by far the best; so well equipped and comfortable. We would highly recommend.

We had a fabulous week in Woodpecker as a family of 4 and an elderly dog. Had everything we needed and we love the location. We’ve been before to the same site and will be going again!

Very nice peaceful break in a lovely appointed, well equipped lodge… shame about the weather but that can’t be helped!
