The majority of guests found the property exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with several noting spotless rooms and fresh bedding. Only a few minor cleaning issues were mentioned, which did not detract from the overall positive impression.
The cottage is praised for its peaceful, scenic setting and proximity to local attractions like Haworth and the Brontë countryside. The only recurring negative is the unmade access road, which can be difficult for low vehicles.
Guests highlight the comfortable beds, spacious layout, and relaxing atmosphere. The house is warm and homely, with plenty of space for large groups. A few guests noted the conservatory could be cold in winter and stairs may be steep for those with mobility issues.
The property is very well equipped, with a popular games room, ample kitchenware, and thoughtful extras like a second fridge. Some minor maintenance issues were mentioned (e.g., broken cue, shower head, fridge door), but these were outweighed by the overall quality and range of amenities.

We had a fantastic holiday at West View Farm the house was clean, and spacious, and the views were spectacular. We could see the steam train from the window. Fantastic location for going to places, but peaceful and quiet in the evenings. Would highly recommend this holiday home for larger families.

Whilst the house is looking a little tired and the games room had only 1 table tennis ball that wasn't damaged it is really good value for money. Although it was August it was cold in the evening and none of the radiators would come on. The shower head was broken so you had to hold it and the fridge door was broken and had a tiny piece of string to open it. However as an overall experience its a great house. This was our second visit and unfortunately due to the mobility of one of our party this will most likely be our last visit. The house is over 3 floors so 2 staircases.
