Fell in love with this cottage. Although 'cottage' doesn't adequately describe this property. It is spacious & comfortable & feels like you really are staying in a stately home. The snooker table provides something different for everyone. It kept a 14 year old happy for best part of a week! Well equipped for a family, especially those with a dog. Lots of land to let dogs run & nice pub virtually next door. Stayed over New Year, winter views amazing, would like to stay again in summertime. Owners are nice people & very welcoming. We will be back again!!!
Myself and my husband are just home from a marvellous weeks stay at West Wing. Such a great place to chill out. It was quiet with outstanding views over the valley and our own private garden to sit out and enjoy the views and birdsong. The West Wing interior is very well presented, very clean and very comfortable. The bedroom we used had a kingsize four poster bed and an en suite with the best shower ever. The double bedroom at the far end of West Wing has an en suite with bath. (Can't remember if there was a shower there as well) There is a large kitchen with washing m/c, dishwasher, fridge and large freezer, everything spotless. The lounge was massive, with a leather sofa and chairs around the large bay window to take full advantage of the views. Another large area with sofa and chairs, coffee table around the telly. And a full size snooker table AND library, yes it really is that big!
Another big plus for us is that it is very dog friendly. Apart from our own private garden, there is shared use of the owners 7 acre gardens and field for the dogs to run free.
The owners were very friendly, they lived on site but were very low key.
Aislaby village is pretty, with an excellent pub/restuarant 5 minutes walk from West Wing. Aislaby is only 5/10 minutes drive from Whitby which gives you the best of both worlds.
We enjoyed our time at West Wing so much, 24 hours after returning home we booked for next year. Thank you Mary and Richard.

We were drawn to West Wing because of the full size snooker table but the property was much more than that. With two seating areas in the huge lounge it was nice to sit in the window looking out over the garden and view of the hills beyond during the afternoon/early evening then migrate to the TV area at night. I read a novel from the huge selection of books available in 'the library' at one end of the room. The master bedroom is spacious with a comfortable four poster and en suite shower room whilst the double is smaller but very adequate with a modern whirlpool bath. The kitchen is large and well equipped with a TV which was great for our two year old granddaughter to watch CBeebies at breakfast time in the leather wing back chair which she made her own. We were very happy to return to West Wing after a day out to sit in the garden or lounge, play snooker and relax in this luxurious but very homely property. Mary and Richard, the very friendly owners, welcomed us with biscuits and milk/teabags and lovely fresh roses. The local pub in Aislaby is very nice with friendly staff and the food was excellent. Whitby is a vibrant place, very picturesque with beaches, shops and restaurants. We were blessed with a week of very good weather. We will definitely stay here again.

We have stayed in West Wing, Beech Hill Manor and Tower cottages at Aislaby but going back to the Snooker Cottage (as we like to call it) felt like going home. Russ and I were able to recharge our batteries completely. Although we booked it for the Folk week and Regatta we found we just wanted to be mainly at the cottage. Our 18 year old daughter who vowed never to go with us to Whitby again said 'count me in' when she heard I'd booked West Wing. It is spacious, comfortable and luxurious. You can just lose yourself in the beauty of the views and surrounding areas and the peace. We all loved playing snooker and pool too. We were really sad to leave. So Mary and Richard we'll be back soon.
