We had a lovely stay at Frankies Cottage and would love to stay again one day! We loved everything about the cottage! The furniture, the lay out, the decor etc!! There was nothing we didn't like! The play barn was really good. We got a lot of use out of the splash pool. Our 3 year old granddaughter started to learn to swim in there! It was lovely tRead moreo be able to use the hot tub & have gowns & slippers supplied. Also a big thanks for the cookies! Kind gesture!! Hide

This was a beautiful rental very spacious we loved it. The grounds & garden needs some TLC and you can't walk into Westward Ho it's to far you need the car. Expected the cafe/bar to be open more than 1 afternoon which was a shame. On paper it was a dream place but in reality it wasn't.

Brilliant location, could walk from the property into Westward Ho which we all loved, the town far exceeded our expectations, beaches fabulous for long walks. Instow well worth a visit.

Loved our Cottage and the owners were really pleasant and helpful. Was great for the little one with the play barn and having the horses and chickens near by was great. Would not hesitate to come back again in the future! Thank you Westward Living
