Mrs Sequito May 2021

We are all absolutely delighted staying in Westfield cottage.

“Doreen was very helpful and very accommodating. She leave us some fresh eggs too. We do recommend this cottage. Very clean and comfortable to stay on this cottage. High force, law force and bowlees waterfall is just near and we do enjoyed the walking path within our reach. We definitely coming back.”

- Mrs Sequito, May 2021
Mrs Clough April 2021

Amazing host and welcome helped to make this the perfect holiday in a very cosy and well equipped converted barn.

“Location is just idyllic with many different walks from the door including the private river walk and the Tees Railway path. There were the farm animals to watch and learn about, unusual wildlife, beautiful unspoilt places to visit and the people were so welcoming. For walkers, nature lovers and those who want to get away from tourist honey pots this is a perfect holiday cottage.”

- Mrs Clough, April 2021
Mrs Gradon April 2021

The peace and quiet was superb and it was lovely to meet Doreen the owner.

“Watching the new lambs doing the races up and down the field was beautiful to watch after the last years lockdown. Everyone we met was so friendly and as pleased as we were just to be out in the fresh air. Thankyou Doreen and thank you Sykes. George & Elizabeth Gradon”

- Mrs Gradon, April 2021
Mr Holmes April 2021

A Holiday Lettings verified reviewer February 2020

Wet and wild holiday

“Despite storm Dennis doing its best to get in through this barn conversion window frames, we found this cottage charming and spacious for us four. The toddlers loved racing around the round coffee table and the big kitchen window gave good light for colouring /rainy day play on the table. The beds were comfy and the house constantly warm. There is a utility room for tumble dryer not shown in advert. Courtyard self contained if u have a dog. Doreen was a great attentive host but could do to knock louder! ....When at the door in the pouring rain. Thanks for the eggs and choc biscuits x the children's bedroom feels like a castle with the window arrow slits!!”

A very nice cottage in a lovely setting, the owner was very nice.

“The facilities were good though be warned you need to bring your own towels. Plenty of good walks around for those who like walking and a very nice restaurant in one of the local villages. The only disappointment was the lack of local information supplied in the the form of leaflets, maps or booklets which we normally find in cottages we have stayed in before.”

Fantastic Country Get-Away

“Great Location. Cottage was immaculate and well presented. We were 4 adults and a 3 year old child.

A FlipKey verified reviewer December 2012

Wonderful walkers retreat

“We took our three kids to this cottage for half-term. It was so cosy and had great accommodation. We walked up and down the Tees Valley way and railway, doing most of the Cleveland Way between Cauldron Snout and Barnard Castle. It was great to walk from the door. High and Low Force are great as is the Bowes Museum with its silver mechanical swan. The local pubs (Rose in in Mickleton and Rose and Crown in Romaldkirk) were wonderful. What a wonderful off the track spot. The hosts are very kind. We loved how quiet it was. We waited for clear nights for the amazing stars which was our only disappointment.”

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, December 2012
Mrs Fox October 2012

Absolutely fab cottage, warm and cosy with plenty of space for the five of us.

Friendly Welcome

“My husband & I had a very enjoyable week at this cottage. It was very clean & the owner was very welcoming and gave us some lovely fresh eggs.

Plenty of places to eat from country pubs to restaurants and if the weather is bad several places of interest nearby to visit.The owners were great always willing to help but not intrusive.The best part of the stay for my wife was when Doreen during a busy lambing period somehow found the time to let her bottle feed a lamb,many thanks Doreen you made her day.Though we have already been twice we will hopefuly be returning this year.”
