Staying at Westwood Farm
About Us
Mark, Jilly and Nellie our cockapoo, welcome you to our home at Westwood Farm. We are mere custodians through time of this beautiful historic property that dates back to the 17th century.
It has been lovingly and tastefully crafted inside over recent years whilst keeping all of its special character.
We love hosting and sharing our passion for the great outdoors, cooking and our wonderful local area.
Mark was the owner of the highly regarded Coast to Coast Packhorse for many years. Coupled with his decades of running, cycling and walking, he probably knows all local routes as well as anybody.
Jilly is an RHS trained garden maker and star home baker.
And Nellie is our very friendly cockapoo!
Westwood Farm
Westwood Farm is around 350 - 400 years old. It has therefore experienced and been witness to many interesting changes and episodes. This includes being a working farm, a banqueting hall , and family home.
The internal stonework in the kitchen apparently came from Brough Castle and the panelling in the lounge is from the 17th century, rescued from the fire that destroyed the castle in 1666.
Staying with Us
Our home and your delightful holiday residence
Be welcomed on arrival and enjoy home-baked cakes, snacks and a choice of hot or cold drinks.
For our guests who have arrived after a day’s walk or cycle (such as doing the C2C), then you may wish to utilise our boot wash, bike wash & fettling station and drying room.
As it never rains…., you may enjoy relaxing outside with views across to the fells.
Inside the main house we have two guest bedrooms. Both fully equipped with wardrobe, bedside cabinets, easy chair and TV, fresh water, and tea/coffee/hot chocolate.
Adjoined to the house is The Glade, our self-contained Annexe. Sleep in a very comfortable double-bed, refresh in the en-suite shower and wetroom, sustain by utilising the equipped kitchen (including an induction hob & microwave) and relax watching TV, listening to the radio, reading or playing games.
