Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Westfield cottage. Margaret was very informative in telling us about places to visit, good restaurants etc. Westfield is a spacious, modern conversation and was very well equipped. The pop up cafe open from Friday to Sunday is a delightful place to visit and can be found at the centre if the village.The closeness of the railway station was a definite plus.
