The Woodpecker in Ashford

05/04/2026: Myself and my wife stayed in the chester Beatty on Easter Saturday night On arrival we were met in reception by two very welcoming gentlemen. Check in took about one minute or less, asked if we needed to book table for food as the car park was fairly full, we were told there would be no problem just go in when ready. We went to our room which was absolutely spotless and warm. Food was wonderful, fast and the staff couldn't have been nicer. We had a couple of drinks later in the bar which were lovely aswell with bar staff were great. After a very good sleep we had breakfast which was perfect in every way. Definitely visit again. Most friendly staff ever Martin and Betty Dempsey Wexford

15/03/2026: Mother’s Day so it was busy. 1hr wait for table. All of the staff were friendly and the food was ok but we had to wait over an hour for food to come out. Warm atmosphere but won’t be returning for food.
