West Winds Cottage B&B

We stayed at The West Winds Cottage B&B during our Dales Way journey. It's a couple minutes off the main path, but well worth it. Tucked behind the Buck Inn, the cottage is quaint, with a beautiful front garden. Angela (Angie), one of the proprietors, greeted us with a friendly smile, good conversation, and delicious tea and cakes. We stayed in the Tawny room (all the rooms are named after birds), which had sole use of the separate WC. The room was perfect for our needs, coming with 2 chairs, as well as tea/coffee, and a tin of shortbread! It also had a hairdryer, and extension cord, and places to hang our gear. The WC was beautiful, looked newly renovated, and the shower had great water pressure. Shampoos, conditioners and body were also provided. West Winds does not serve dinner (the Buck Inn immediately next door does), but provides an amazing breakfast, and offers a packed lunch option at an extra charge (reasonably). Both can be selected via order form the evening prior. The options for both are varied, and respectful of dietary restrictions. Angie's grilled tomatoes in her full Yorkshire breakfast were the best on the route, and her cheddar and chutney sandwiches hit the spot when we were enjoying the views on the Cam High Road. She uses her own chickens' eggs for the brekkie, and many herbs come from her garden as well. We really appreciated our stay here; it was so cozy and hospitable, and speaking to Angie was like chatting with an old friend- we felt so at ease.

Angela couldn't have been anymore welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay which was for one night on our Dales Way adventure. Our room & bathroom were beautiful. Breakfast was lush. We loved every minute. Thank you so much Angela. Very highly recommended xx

We really enjoyed our stay here. Angela was so accommodating and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed (including a way to watch the England football match!!). We were greeted with tea and cake which was a lovely touch and really appreciated. The rooms were fresh and clean and the breakfast was amazing. The packed lunch was also great (especially the homemade brownie!!). The garden was also beautiful and all in a perfect location. We really hope to be back soon.

Fantastic overnight stopover on our Inn Way Walk last week. Great host, tea and cake on arrival, clean and comfortable room and the breakfast was excellent - as was the packed lunch provided for our walk the following day (with more cake). Would also recommend for longer stays to explore the local area, try it - you won't be disappointed! 5*
