About this property

Traditional Dales Cottage with stunning views,

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 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.

Restful and relaxing weekend away
We had a wonderful break at Westbrook House. The cottage worked really well for us and views both from the back and front of the house were stunning. There is plenty to do and walks directly from the house. Farm shops and tearooms and little towns to explore as well as hills to climb are in abundance. There is a local pub a short walk away. We particularly enjoyed the garden and listening to the birds. The house was well equipped and Phil provided all the information we needed for a great stay. Would have just liked to have stayed longer!

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.

Excellent Dales Cottage
If you like old buildings, well maintained and fitted with a smart hotel stylish bathroom, excellent view over the dale, this is the one. It is in the hamlet of Newbiggin on a quiet road amongst other attractive cottages. Loads of space for 2, 4 would be fine but I think 6 adults would rather cosy in the lounge and with just one loo & bathroom, albeit a very smart one.

A very special place to stay
We had a wonderful few days at Westbrook House. The view is amazing and the cottage is really well kitted out with everything you could possibly need. The bathroom and kitchen are new and the whole layout of the cottage is well thought through. The garden is well maintained with loads of birdlife. The house is in a lovely part of the Dales - centrally located but just away from the busier areas. West Burton, the nearby village has a shop selling local cheeses. There are plenty of pubs nearby that we would have tried if we had stayed longer, but it was just lovely to sit in the garden with a cup of tea or glass of wine. There are several beautiful walks from the doorstep. We very much hope to return soon.

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!

Lovely home in the Dales
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.

What a place!
From the very first contact from Phil to the minute we left everything was perfect. Excellent communications, great instructions for check in, stunning location but wow oh wow... the cottage was the best we have stayed in. If it was for sale I'd buy it in a heart beat. Defo we will book it again. Thanks for everything Phil.

Lovely cosy cottage
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.

Ideal location for an overdue getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay at Westbrook House. It was both spacious and cosy, and very well-equipped. Phil was a thoughtful and attentive host, checking in on us on a day when the weather was particularly bad. The self-service check-in and check-out processes were smooth and straightforward. The Internet connection is excellent, and the stove in the lounge works really well. It's particularly pleasing that the fuel for the stove is included. The location is perfect - extremely quiet and with excellent views across Bishopdale from the back of the house. The garden is lovely, although we didn't spend a great deal of time in it. We very much enjoyed watching the birds using the bird feeder(s) by the lounge window. The Ordnance Survey map centred on the house was a nice touch. We did several good walks from the house leading to good views of neighbouring dales.

Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt in den Yorkshire Dales
Unser einwöchiger Urlaub im Haus von Phil Brewster in Newbiggin war wunderbar. Das Haus hat eine traumhafte Lage mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht auf die herrliche Landschaft. Das Cottage ist sehr geschmackvoll und persönlich eingerichtet mit viel Liebe für Details. Die Einrichtung lässt keine Wünsche offen. Unsere Enkelkinder konnten im großen Garten spielen, kurzum ein Haus für jung und alt. Außerdem eignet sich das Haus perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung. Wir können einen Aufenthalt in Westbrook House nur empfehlen. Henk Rook

Lovely cottage, beautiful location
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.

Gorgeous cottage
Amazing cottage, completely faultless. Everything was perfect, the rooms are spotlessly clean. The views are amazing at the back, even from the loo!! We struggled to leave this place, can't recommend it enough. Short walk to a decent pub if you don't fancy cooking. Plenty to see around the area, we walked around the falls and up to Castle Bolton and back, took in the cheese in Wensleydale and had some short walks to nearby villages. Plenty of pub stops on the way. Locals were very friendly. Great communication from owner.

The house is located in a lovely quiet village with no through traffic. The outlook at the back of the house is spectacular. You can while away many hours sitting on the terrace watching the wildlife. The house is superbly appointed and very well thought out. It is luxurious throughout, especially the bathroom. We had a wonderful stay and will certainly consider returning.

Wonderfully relaxing break
Spent a short break here and had a great time. Plenty of space for the 4 of us and bedrooms were very comfortable. Lovely walks from the door and local pub was a short stroll away. The area was beautiful in February, so imagine it would be stunning in spring and summer! Would definitely recommend staying here for a relaxing break away from it all.

Hidden Gem in Wensleydale
Trust me when I say this place was great. Everything from check-in to follow up to the pictures and the house itself is in perfect condition. The bathroom is beautiful, the front room is lovely and quaint with a great fire to keep you warm if needed and was great for the ambience. Kitchen was fully stocked And we enjoyed sitting at the dining table drinking wine and enjoying the view with the back door wide open. The bedrooms were super clean and the beds were very comfy, especially the master bedroom which had a huge California King bed. Phillip was great with any questions that I had, and let’s not forget in less than two minutes you are off the beaten path and heading over hills to small country pubs and villages. Very close by at the end of the road is a pub which serves great food and beer and no need to get in your car, as it is only a two minute walk , overall this place was fantastic, and like my review said a hidden gem .

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.
