Beautiful place, very homely and comfortable. Amazing to see the wildlife and be in such a peaceful place. Our only real suggestion is that it would be better with carpet on the stairs, this matters more due to the lounge being upstairs as we felt a little unsteady carrying trays up or down with drinks etc on and I did actually fall over once whilst at the top but luckily went backwards. Overall a lovely retreat and so many books and games and things left for guests to do. We had a wonderful break

We have stayed at Westfield 4 times now, and each time have had a wonderful holiday. The house is cosy and clean with so many thoughtful touches - spare batteries and chargers, a well-equipped kitchen and spice drawer, lots of books and toys for children. Th extensive woodland garden is perfect for those who like wildlife watching - the feeders attract lots of birds and the famous red squirrels! David and Jan are excellent hosts and always very responsive should you have any questions. The location in peaceful West Wight is perfect for us, with a great pub and a busy stop a short walk away. Highly recommended, and we'll be back!
