The facilities were good, although the single beds were a bit lumpy. Unfortunately for some reason there were only 2 teaspoons! We had to buy some. Overall the cottage was lovely and I would happily recommend it to anyone.

Having to go from the kitchen through the lounge to eat at the dining table is a bit of a pain. The only serious issue we had is the toilet seat is very wobbly and could be dangerous. We have stayed at West End House twice and found the owners very helpful and pleasant. Thank them very much
