Lovely guest house, great breakfast with any orders accepted alongside fresh fruit, cereals and coffee. Great service, clean and comfortable. The room was very small and a little cold at times but our stay was basic/standard and would assume the deluxe rooms are much nicer. This place is all you need for a nice weekend, you're in the centre of... More

We spent a wonderful 3 nights at Westview last weekend - booked at short notice, and from booking over the phone a couple of days before, to reluctantly having to leave 3 days later we were made to feel very welcome. The room was spotless and comfortable, breakfast superb and the views from our room (room 6) were wonderful! We've... More

We stayed here afew weeks back and would highly recommend. A lovely warm welcome and we were shown to our spotlessly clean room. Due a booking error we had to move to another room - our luck was in though as we were relocated to the larger more expensive room for the same price! Underfloor heating, huge bed, massive bathroom..... More
