The cottage itself was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stop there again in the future. Our dog really liked the walks along the Tees Valley railway line footpath every morning and the enclosed garden meant that we never had any issues letting him wander in and out of the cottage! This is a fantastic area to explore and Westfield is an ideal base to do this from.
