A neat conversion and well eequipped; we felt potentially overlooked by the owners' own place (facing, across the courtyard) but never actually saw a face.

Autumn break

This property is perfectly sized for a couple. The host was great, contactable if needed. The property was very clean, has all the mod cons, has a parking space and is in a good location for the coast, small local towns or for a visit to York. I highly recommend this property.

Pleasant break near Castle Howard

The property is very well appointed with all modern conveniences and a powerful walk in shower. It's handy for visiting various North Yorkshire attractions such as Castle Howard. Simon the host lives very close by and is polite, friendly and informative. The local pub, the 'Blacksmiths Arms' is very good for steak meals as they have their own farm. Internet is available in the cottage however the signal is quite weak at times. Overall a pleasant stay.

Stay in Westow

This is an immaculately presented property in a lovely village. Simon and Mandy the owners are extremely helpful with tips of where to eat and visit locally. I really enjoyed my stay here and would thoroughly recommend this property for couples.

The property is pristine and looks absolutely brand new. The owner Simon, was very polite and nice.

The kitchen is an amazing shape and spacious. The bathroom is luxurious, with choice of shower heads. However the lounge, although cosy, is a little small. The bedroom is also small and a little crowded with furniture. The table by the window and flowers was impressive, but made squeezing into bed difficult. Also the long mirror was beautiful but not ideally placed to get past. I did suggest some additions to the kitchen equipment, which included hand wash, hand towel, pair of oven gloves, baking trays, fish slice etc. However, these minor items should not distract from a lovely cottage, close to the owners, who were always on hand. A lovely weekend, celebrating my partner's birthday.

Perfect Base for Exploring Yorkshire

My husband and I spent five nights in Yorkshire over Easter and used Simon and Mandy’s Westow property as our base to explore this beautiful County. It was perfect. After a full day’s sightseeing and exploring, we would return to a beautifully-appointed cottage and grounds in a quiet village. The property has been recently renovated to a high standard and it was fitted out with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. As a host, Simon was responsive, warm and helpful. We would definitely return.
