We spent the Easter weekend at this property. Westward is a small and quiet village which is perfect for relaxation. It’s very easy to get to other places from here for walking, shopping etc. The house is lovely with lots of retained period features. Beds are comfortable and the decor is really nice. Great views from the house to open countryside. All locals we met were very friendly.
