What our Guests are Saying

This is an address to go back to!
What we liked most was Astley's hospitality. Always up for a chat and lots of good suggestions. She is a fantastic person. Because of the nice weather we were able to use the fantastic terrace with sea view all four days.
Would definitely return.
From the moment my husband and I arrived at The Sea Shack Shepherds huts we knew it was going to be a special stay. The sea views are amazing and the Sea Shack itself is just perfect. Everything has been done to a very high standard and has all you need and more for a really comfortable stay. The highlight was the outdoor bath and fire pit! Our host Astley was so helpful in suggesting walks and pub lunches too.
Every aspect of West Lyn Farm is of the highest quality
We just returned from spending a couple of days at West Lyn Farm B&B, with our dog, where we had the most wonderful time. It felt more like staying with a good friend, Astley was so welcoming, and informative about the area. We will definitely be staying again.
Amazing spot!
Towns was lovely and lots of walks close by. Host was amazing and so friendly, 100% recommend.
Absolute hidden gem...
... with the most spectacular views the attention to detail was second to none really can't wait for return visit.
"The perfect English B&B"
For two Australians West Lyn Farm was the perfect English B&B to stay in. The history, nooks and crannies of a 300 yr old farm house were charming. Classic views of rolling English countryside with the sea beyond. Easy parking and we are already missing the cook breakfasts. We will be back just not sure when its along way from Sydney!
A Magical Weekend
We arrived and the weather wasn’t great but it was so lovely and cosy in The Sea Shack that we soon settled in. The quality of the finishes and the bed are exceptional. We were lucky to get some rays of sunshine over the weekend which meant I managed to make use of the AMAZING outdoor bath! Sipping a glass of champagne in this beautiful bath looking over that view was a magical moment!WEST Lyn FARM House journal
