A note from the site themselves...

It's easy for us to reel off green cliches, but here at Woodovis we try to make it a natural part of the way the business is run. The beauty of the park and surrounding areas is one of the main reasons guests visit.

To allow future generations to also enjoy our park we are a fully self-sufficient park with green energy being used to supply electricity to Woodovis with its very own Solar Array Panel System. We hope to welcome you soon, Anthony

Camping Pod - Super Glamping PodsSep 2024

We stayed in a super pod for two nights and it was perfect. Everything was kept very clean and the site itself was very peaceful. We used the pizza oven on the first night which was great. We ate at The Blacksmith's Arms on the second night. We used the pool and the jacuzzi both days which was very refreshing. You do have to drive to most places as it's quite a rural location, but don't let that put you off. We left feeling very refreshed. Would highly recommend.
