The Hay House Retreat Reviews

Emma

We had such a lovely stay here for a family get-together. The grounds are perfect for kids and dogs, with loads of space to run around both inside and outside. It was great to have the option to relax together or enjoy some quiet time apart. The catered meal was a real treat and the local walks are definitely worth exploring. The beds in the stable rooms were super comfy too!

Jamie

Westbrook Court is a cracking spot for big groups! We recently booked it for a 40th birthday bash with about 17 of usand it was just perfect. The place felt spacious yet cosyand everyone had enough room to relax. The nine king-sized bedrooms were a real bonus for us adults, though I noticed they do have options for kids too. We all agreed we'd happily stay again, whether for a weekend or longer. Thanks for making our celebration so special! Definitely recommend.

Emily

We chose Westbrook House for a family get-together because it ticked all the boxes, from practical needs to the gorgeous setting. Honestly, the place exceeded our expectations-the house and gardens are just as stunning as the photos, if not more! It's well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for a weekend away. Both the main house and annex felt really inviting, balancing space and coziness perfectly. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a beautiful spot to stay!

Emily Carter

We really enjoyed our weekend at Hay House Retreat. The place was perfect for our group, with plenty of big pans and dishes to cater for everyone. The garden view was absolutely stunningand there was loads of outdoor space with tables and chairs. The beds were comfyand the house felt really cosy and spotless. We'd definitely come back for another special event - it's a lovely spot!
