Westcott House The Warren Reviews

Lydia
We had a lovely holiday and Westcott House was a brilliant place to stay. Clean, comfortable and in an ideal location.
Julie
Great location but if mobility is an issue then the steps up to cottage entrance could be a problem. Stayed over New Year and the upstairs lounge was an excellent viewing point for the midnight fireworks display. Nice warm property, kitchen a little on small side but ok for two to work in there. Nice to have a little outside sitting area, not that it was nice enough to sit outside in the winter. It was easy enough to pull up and unload before moving to carpark. Quiet location.
Amy
Lovely stay in a great location.
Dan
We very much enjoyed our stay here and we would recommend it for a family. Location was great and the space was really good. We had 7 stay comfortably and having 2 bathrooms was really helpful. Thank you for a lovely base for our mini break.
