Woodpecker Lodge is a single-storey holiday home in Swannington, Leicestershire. This modern retreat offers open-plan living with all the essentials for a comfortable break. Just 1. 4 miles from Coalville, it's perfectly positioned for exploring the East Midlands without the faff of city noise.
The surrounding countryside gives you plenty of options. Sence Valley Forest Park offers peaceful walks through woodland and around lakes. Field Sport UK Activity Centre provides action-packed days if sitting around isn't your thing. Mount St. Bernard Abbey is worth a look too - though don't expect the monks to join you for shots at the local.
The accommodation features two bedrooms - one king-size and one twin, both with TVs for when you've had enough family time.
