Doreen was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable, with everything we needed and more. The cottage was in a very peaceful setting with beautiful walks were just on our doorstep.

We were greeted by the owner and a field full of daffodils! The kitchen was a lovely light sunny room, where we could watch the lambs across the road. Shame there was only a double bed, we used the 2 singles though one wasn't made up, maybe we should have requested that on booking. We don't find a double bed big enough for a good nights sleep. So usually scroll past any house that just has a double. It was a good place to walk from and lots of waterfalls, reservoirs and even Barnard castle within a short drive.

Doreen, our hostess, is a wonderful lady. Westfield Cottage is immaculate, quiet, warm and cosy, (and a little quirky in a lovely way!). So many picturesque and peacful walks. Highly recommend.
