      We stayed for the weekend at Westwood coach house and can honestly say it exceeded our expectations. The house was immaculately clean and everything we needed was covered. Location was very good a few minutes walk to the shops or a few minutes drive to the beach. Plenty of parking available oh and the Hot Tub was so nice. Would highly recommend this property and we hope to revisit again at some point.

      This is a gorgeous cottage. The owners have gone to great lengths to make it a very welcome retreat, with lots of lovely touches throughout, including the welcome pack. The common areas and sofas are fabulous and very conducive to both lazy starts and late night chats. The beds are very comfortable and the bedrooms have lots of space. The property is very clean and all the kitchen appliances are great, including the numerous glasses to allow for celebrations. The hot tub was a great addition (and the spare towels a great extra touch). We spent the weekend at the cottage as a group of 11 ladies celebrating 40 years of friendship and all of us would highly recommend it. the owner, was in touch in advance of our visit and we knew he was on hand should any issues have arisen (not that any did). A wonderful weekend.

      We had a lovely stay at the Coach house. The hosts had gone to such great lengths to ensure every need had been thought of and met. The space was well suited to a large family gathering, toys had been provided for the children. Beds were all very comfortable. Hot tub was a big bonus and the garden was a beautiful space to relax and watch the children play. We would highly recommend this house and we would love to return again in the summer for longer stay.
