About this property
Traditional Dales Cottage with stunning views,
Westbrook House is a terraced cottage located in a quiet non-drive through hamlet called Newbiggin in Bishopdale. There is off-road parking at the front of the property.
Dating from 1742 the cottage has got many traditional features including the original beams. Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a superking-size bed with a memory foam mattress. Features include a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. There is also a TV & lovely views both of the front & rear of the property.
The 2nd bedroom has a double bed made from solid oak with two bedside tables. The room also has exposed beams & lovely views to the rear of the property.
Along a corridor there is a large, spacious bathroom with a separate bath, shower & a double-sink vanity unit with storage baskets underneath for your toiletries etc. There is also a wall-mounted towel rail which provides extra warmth. We also provide towels, toilet roll etc free of charge
Downstairs - there is a cosy 3rd bedroom with a Double-size brass bed.
The main lounge has two sofas able to seat 5 people. And a large bean bag for a 6th person. There's also a multi-fuel stove which can burn both coal & logs (all of which are included in the price). There's also a large full HD 4k TV, a Humax FREESAT box, a DVD player, & a selection of DVDs. Full fibre broadband (WiFi) is also provided free of charge.

From the lounge you go through to the kitchen-dining area. The dining table seats six people. The kitchen itself is brand new, and is fitted with all the latest mod cons e.g double oven, induction hob, microwave, double-toaster etc.
There are gardens to the front & rear of the property. The front garden area is largely paved & with tubs of flowers & shrubs. There's also a pear tree by the House itself. It also gets a lot of sun in the morning & early afternoon so it's a nice area to sit out & have a morning cuppa & even chat with passersby.

There are also a metal table with six chairs for your to sit out / eat on & enjoy the stunning view across the Dale.

Fantastic property in a great location, Phil the host was really helpful and easy to deal with. Apple crumble made from the trees on the property was a stand out.
We had the very best time staying at Westbrook House. The hosts have thought of everything you might need and the cottage was dry cosy. The views were stunning and a walk to the local pub was the icing on the cake. Be warned the food potions are very generous. We explored the area and our host did recommend the Wensleydale ice cream parlour which was worth a visit. Beautiful house in a beautiful location.
The perfect location for a short Yorkshire visit. The cottage had everything we needed, it was nice and warm, has comfy beds, a beautiful view, games, dvds, local info and perfect for star gazing on a clear night. Phil was great at responding to my messages and was on hand the whole time. It is remote which suited us, so be sure to pick up what you need when you're out and about. Loved it, thanks
We had an amazing stay. The house was so peaceful and comfortable yet within walking distance of a pub and with beautiful walks from the door. Phil could not have been more helpful, we would love to return!!
Had a really lovely week in Phil's cottage. Super comfortable with beautiful views, and some lovely walks (and pubs) from the front door. Would definitely stay again!
This house is set in the most beautiful countryside and the views are amazing. The house is kitted out with everything you need to prepare meals at home or a 5 min walk to the local pub. The beds were comfortable with high quality linen, a very spacious bathroom with a large bath (with a view and lots of towels). Great wifi made planning our days out a delight and allowed relaxing evenings with a movie or two Everything about our 3 week stay was just so wonderful and we definitely plan to return.
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Westbrook House. Beautiful views, peaceful garden, and a quick walk to the village pub with friendly people and amazing food. It is in a great location to traipse around the Dales, and is very cozy and well appointed (the bathroom is amazing)...just perfect to come "home" to after a day of walking or touring. Phil is one of the most well-prepared and organized hosts we have ever encountered, providing you with lots of info and recommendations well in advance, and very responsive. We only wished we could have stayed longer, and can't recommend it enough! Thank you, Phil!!
Had a lovely stay at the cottage that felt very much like home. Absolutely beautiful views from the garden. Just wish there had been a bar b q. Perfectly situated to get out and about with a great choice of castles, waterfalls and coffee shops to visit. The host is always on hand if needed. The cottage was well equipped definitely a wonderful find
We loved our stay in this quaint little cottage and the views from the rear of the property were just beautiful. The whole area is very pretty and this was a perfect location to venture out from. Phil and Lisa are very friendly and accommodating - highly recommended.
The Dales are just about my favourite destination, and this wonderful cottage was just what we needed to decompress. Outstanding views, well provisioned, we loved everything about it. Thanks Phil!
Wow , what a lovely cottage . When arriving the children loved looking around and finding their rooms ! Everything about it made our stay 5 days to remember! From the luxury of the bathroom , the cosy lounge to the comfortable beds . Everything was there that we needed so much so I didn’t have to take half the things I took ie towels, t-towels , coffee tea and sugar - the list goes on . You can tell we’ve not stayed in a top notch property before :-)Thankyou again Phil for keeping in touch and making sure everything was ok . We didn’t want to come home , although we are all walked out ! :-)Sharon and Simon
The house is beautiful and well kitted out with everything you should need. The mattress in the main bedroom was very comfy and provided such a good night's sleep and being woken by bird song (although early) was lovely. The bathroom was very luxurious and the towels provided were very thick and good quality. The owner was great at communication and answered all questions promptly. We would happily rebook.
We stayed here for Christmas and the home was perfect for what we needed. All the rooms are bigger than expected and the bathroom is really nice. Everything was clean throughout and the plentiful supply of wood for the fire was great over the Christmas break. We would certainly stay again and recommend to others.
Beautiful well equipped cottage with beautiful views of the dales, with more than enough space for two adults. From the front door you can take several beautiful walks, or enjoy nature and birds from the garden.
Super long weekend in this beautifully renovated cottage. Clean, comfortable and well equipped, amazing bath tub (named Mr Boaty by our boys so they could be floaty in the boaty). We loved the garden and the stream just down the lane. And we enjoyed an evening at the pub a few minutes walk away. Great access to kettlewell, leyburn, aysgarth etc. Would definitely stay again.
Excellent communication from Phil before, during and after our stay. Really made us feel welcome. Great location for accessing the Yorkshire Dales. There was a nearby pub within walking distance and it was great to visit Aysgarth Falls and Malham. A cosy cottage which was well equipped. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely loved our stay. Cottage very cosy and very well equipped and clean. Excellent location. Only down side was it did not have a downstairs toilet so a queue sometimes with 4 adults staying there. The cottage does have a storage area under stairs with a window which could be utilised for this if owner was inclined to convert.
Owner was really helpful - excellent communication by email and telephone.
Will definitely stay again!
