A lovely New Year Break
The house was an ideal setting to see in the new year. The area has lots of interesting walks and cycling routes. The hosts provided plenty communication ahead of the booking and accomodated for our youngest guest (1 year old). The property could benefit from a few more kitchen essentials (bin bags, dish clothes etc), but this a wasn't major issue. All in all, a really nice stay.

Highly recommended accommodation
West Lodge is delightful - comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. It's set in beautiful grounds which we were free to enjoy. It was all well-equipped and had everything we needed including a very lovely welcome pack. I'd definitely recommend staying here and would love to go back. I wish I was there now!

Nice house in a peaceful location
West Lodge was a good place for our family of 5 to have a week's break. The house was large enough for us all to feel like we had plenty of space. It is in the grounds of Penningham Estate and although there are other properties on the estate, they are not near West Lodge so you feel like you have the place to yourself. The kids enjoyed the large outdoor spaces to play in. The house is mostly well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. We felt that there was a bit of a lack of some kitchen equipment which could be easily remedied with a few extra pans and dishes. The kitchen is pretty small, but nicely done up. The fittings in the bathrooms are getting a bit tired and have a few maintenance issues (eg shower holders that won't hold the shower heads). Nothing major though. We had a good time in West Lodge and would recommend it if you are looking for a peaceful house in a nice setting.
