If you prefer to relax in the fresh air, we plenty to offer within our extensive gardens and grounds, including a tennis court, croquet lawn, boules, 9 hole pitch'n'putt golf course and footballs are available from Reception if you would like to play 5-a-side football on the spacious lawn beside the main house.
While Woodside's 32 acres offer an idyllic setting for walking and jogging, if you would like to go further afield maps for local routes are available at reception to help you find your way! Mountain bikes and helmets are also available to borrow, should you wish you explore the surrounding areas. With a little notice picnic lunches can be arranged too, to help you really make the most of the countryside.

Woodside's cosy and traditional Parson's Folly Bar (named in honour of a previous owner of Woodside) is the perfect place to slow down after a busy day. With a range of beverages including locally brewed beer and cask ale, there will certainly be something for you. The plasma screen in the bar shows sports and the next door games room features a Wii console, among other games.
For a more relaxed dining experience the connecting Mulberry Brasserie serves a Lounge Menu until 21.30, which offers lighter options and old favourites such as homemade British beef burgers.
Both the Coffee Lounge and Conservatory also serve as bars for large events and are avilable for private hire.
