Westmains Farm is a well-regarded cottage with stunning views and a peaceful location. Guests have praised the property's cleanliness, modern amenities, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The welcome gestures of wine and chocolates have been appreciated, though not guaranteed for every stay. While some minor issues with maintenance and comfort have been noted, the overall experience remains positive, with many guests planning to return.
The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with several guests noting it as immaculate and clean. However, there are some concerns about the hot tub's cleanliness and occasional comments about areas that could be improved, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, stunning views, and being ideal for a peaceful retreat. It is remote, which is seen as a positive aspect by many, although it requires some driving to reach local amenities.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the property inviting, but there are several mentions of uncomfortable sofas and kitchen chairs. The comfort of the living areas has room for improvement.
The property is well-furnished and the facilities are generally good, including a well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. However, there are recurring issues with the hot tub, some appliances, and lighting, which suggests a need for better maintenance.
