I booked 3 properties with Westhope Country Retreats; The Milking Parlour, The Turnip House and The Old Cowshed for my wife's 40th birthday. My party consisted of 19 family members ranging from 3 to 73 and two dogs. Every single member (including the 3 year old) commented on how much they loved the properties. Each property was clean, pleasantly furnished, fully equipped, warm, cosy, welcoming and ideal for families. The kitchens contained all of the appliances and utensils you would expect and more - it's not often you find kitchen foil, cling film and seasonings provided by a holiday acc...more
Everyone enjoyed our break. Hot tub was a great. We had a power cute due to storms, Chloe and her team were on hand with stoves, lights, kettle etc ....
The milking parlour has been restored to a high finish, with lovely huge beds and fully equipped kitchen (although a few spare main dinner plates would be useful). The children loved the games room however beware as on arrival we found out there's a 50p charge for each game of pool. The machine only accepted 50p's so make sure you take plenty!

From the moment we entered the old farmhouse, we forgot all the daily stresses and just relaxed. The house is such a lovely size/layout that you would struggle not too. The hot tub was used by all and a very good addition to the stay. All amenities have been thought of and cooking in the farmhouse was a delight. We used the huge table for family meals and didn’t waste the opportunity to learn how to play the piano. Our 4 legged friends loved the garden as well as ourselves. The staff on site we fantastic and even out of hours when the wifi wasn’t at its best they were helpful and friendly-quic...more
Clean, well equipped, comfortable beds, good smart TV. Kitchen layout difficult. Could be better lighting arrangements. Either too bright or too dark. Needs sharper knives. Measuring jug has lost all graduations. Occupants of downstairs bedroom can hear a lot of noise from upstairs. Not great for tall people. Better recycling arrangements and dog poo bin needed.
