The house dates back to the 16th century and it shows there are a myriad of odd angles and beams with stone flagstones downstairs and creaky wooden floorboards upstairs. The house is full of original features and you could spend the entire week figuring out the build and purpose of various nooks and crannyâs. Situated on a working dairy farm the gardens are lovely and there is loads of room for kids to run around both inside and outside so no going stir crazy. Pretty much every door way is low so for bald headed blokes over 6 foot tall like me you might want to consider a hat indoors or risk bumps and scrapes (I was still bumping my head at the end of the week and now that I am home find myself stopping to go through my own doors). The house is fitted with very comfortable furniture, excellent wifi and a TV along with a fully fitted kitchen and a couple of decent showers. Shirley our hostess was very friendly and helpful, the family had a look round the farm and one of the lads dropped us in some gratia eggs (20 mixed sizes) which went down well. There are in addition to lots of dairy cows, a number of other animals on the farm including free range chickens, guinea fowl and peacocks all of which pop in out of the garden for a nibble in the grass which is always entertaining. Getting to the location is simple if you follow the instructions implicitly or you could like me ignore them and take a tour of the local farms and narrow lanes. Once there its not far to some fantastic beaches or venture further afield. We were really comfortable there, the house has a lovely vibe and the super thick walls keep it cool in the summer, if you are looking for somewhere far from the madding crowd then this might suit.

Had a fantastic time at westroose the owners are friendly and helpful they showed the ones in our party who asked round the farm and gave them an insight in dairy farming which Iâm told was fascinating The two dogs are so friendly as are the goats The house is huge we were a party of 5 even spread out we didnât take up no where near all the space available but it was nice to have large gardens too along with complete peace and quiet would highly recommend to anyone looking for a rural retreat but still within easy reach of the coast
