Guests say
West View is a cosy and well-equipped cottage, appreciated for its quiet, secluded location and suitability for dog walking. Guests enjoy the comfortable beds, games room, and secure garden. While some maintenance issues are noted, the property's charm and the owner's responsiveness leave a positive impression.
Reviews indicate a generally clean environment, though some guests mention the need for a deeper clean and addressing mould. The presence of cobwebs and grease splashes suggests room for improvement.
The cottage is praised for its quiet and peaceful location, ideal for walking and exploring nearby areas. Its seclusion and proximity to local attractions are well-regarded, despite being somewhat remote.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the lounge cosy, especially with the wood burner. However, some mention a musty smell and the need for a lick of paint, slightly detracting from the overall comfort.
The property is equipped with a games room, well-stocked kitchen, and Wi-Fi, which guests appreciate. However, maintenance issues like overgrown gardens and outdated pictures on the booking site suggest the need for updates and repairs.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The photos of the outside, in the advert, are very misleading. They must have been taken at least 15 years ago. The hedges and front garden now totally obscure the property. There is no view, west or otherwise from inside, which also makes inside very dark. The windows are dirty and full of cobwebs, as is the front porch. Interior is dated, as shown on photos but we accept that, However there are cobwebs on most ceilings. The curtains in one bedroom were mouldy. Bathroom ceiling is mouldy. The microwave was rusty inside. The owner did replace this 2 days after informing him. The freezer drawers were frozen shut, with frost on outside. The owner did try to rectify this when told but it returned within 2 days. The kitchen fire extinguisher was out of date in 2006. The frying pans non stick surface was peeling, so we bought our own. No obvious instruction pack/ greeting manual. No welcome pack, as advertised. An empty washing up liquid bottle. A replacement was promised, never materialised. Many items in cupboards, presumably left by previous guests, were out of date, some by years. Needs stock control. Back garden is next to a large rusty corrugated building that has burned down and is now fenced off with industrial fencing. The garden furniture is dirty. On a positive note the bedding was clean and comfortable and there was plenty of hot water.
