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.

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.

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.

Beautiful and relaxing stay

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 had a lovely time. Beautiful cottage with a superb garden backing on to a field. Excellent facilities and it was perfect for our family of 5. Phil and Lisa were really helpful and on hand at all times to help us with whatever we needed. The location is excellent and we were able to explore nearby villages and water falls

Beautiful cottage and superb location

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!

A Historic Lodging That Is Up To Date In It's Services

We stayed at this property for four nights. While it's not everyone's location it suited us very well because it is off the beaten track. It has all the amenities a modern house has and is tastefully appointed, keeping some of the historical features of a 1742 house visible. Everything worked without problems. Bed was comfortable. The property owner did a great job in communicating with us. We would stay there again!

Cottage with fabulous view

Great cottage in a small hamlet. The view from the back garden is just perfect. The cottage has everything you could ask for (although could possibly do with a wine cooler??😎) and is just like home from home. The new bathroom is fantastic and the kitchen not far behind. Beware for anyone 6’ or over there are a number of low doorways - husband managed to forget a few times - but ceilings all fine. Location is good for The Dales, there are walks from your doorstep plus no where is too far to travel. Communication with Phil is excellent and he answers any queries very quickly. Our only slight disappointment (and is very small) was finding out the garden is shared. Although the two patios are separated by a fence they are close together. Saying that it wasn’t an issue whilst we were there and wouldn’t stop us returning, which we hope to do sometime in the future.

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 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 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!!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Phil Brewster

Host profile image
Despite this not being our primary residence, my partner & I love the Dales, and escape here as often as work allows. But as we can't be here all the time we don't see why others shouldn't enjoy the use of such a lovely property, in such a gorgeous setting. We've done lots of work to refurbish much of the property, including new carpets & a newly-fitted kitchen with all mod-cons. We aim to make your stay as enjoyable and as hassle-free as possible. And hope that at the end of your stay you'll feel like you don't want to leave.

Why they chose this property

Quite simply you'll be staying in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Not only are you right in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, but it's the perfect base from which to explore the whole of Dales.

If you like walking, there are literally dozens you can choose from - from gentle riverside strolls to hikes over windswept moors. If you like visiting attractions the choice is extensive - from arboretums, museums & castles, to the world-famous Wensleydale cheese-making creamery & Hardraw waterfall.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is full of character. A cosy, comfortable mix of modern and traditional. Whether you like stunning views, country walks, or simply gazing into a log fire, Westbrook House has got it all. The village is lovely & peaceful, so if you're looking to escape the hustle & bustle & just want to relax and unwind, then Westbrook is perfect. The neighbours are very friendly & always willing to help.
