The hotel itself is located in a residential neighborhood rather than in a cute walking-about village, so at first I was disappointed, but after a walk down the road, we began to appreciate the architecture. The room was lovely. Dinner was incredible, and so was breakfast (both included). The staff was friendly and attentive. The bed wasn't too comfortable, but most of the beds I have slept on in the UK have been a little hard, in my opinion, so perhaps this is just a regional preference. The next day we explored local castle ruins and shops in villages not too far away. The hotel location is ideally suited for discovery.

Went here for a friends Birthday meal. People in the local area seem to rave about the place so I…read morehad high expectations. The menu was pre arranged for the party and the main course was basically a roast dinner. I did not find anything special about the food or the presentation. Just seemed run of the mill. I am not saying the food was bad, but I'm sure that I could get the same quality in most good pubs on a Sunday lunchtime. Very over priced for a roast dinner. Came away feeling that I would probably not choose to go again, however there is not a great choice in the area so for that reason I probably would. The building itself is great.

The staff was very family friendly; they allowed us to take our food to our room, had a high chair set up for breakfast, etc. These things are so appreciated when traveling with a toddler! The included breakfast is also very good. There is no elevator to the rooms but it is only one short flight of stairs. We will stay here again when we are in the area.

Amazing place!!…read more We chose to hold our wedding and reception here in April this year. The owners, Mr and Mrs Christopher and the staff, especially Jo, gave us a wedding to remember. In the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself, nothing was too much trouble. Everything was taken care of, even some of our slightly different requests, without question. In the run up to the wedding, my husband and I stayed her for their New Year's Eve celebration as well as coming for Sunday Lunch with friends. Both times, the food was absolutely excellent. I would highly recommend the West House to anyone.
