We booked Stafford House for a family get together and in knowldege British weather can be unreliable...as it proved to be...so the swimminng pool was an absolute life-saver which three kids thoroughly enjoyed/embraced. There was 10 of us so was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when needed.

It is a very comfortable house with plenty of good quality accommodation for all ten of us. It was our third visit to Stafford House and it didnt disappoint. The swimming pool is a very important part of the property and was well used. Its position above Westward Ho! is good with partial views of the sea and quite close to the amenities and beach.

Stafford House is an amazing destination property for families with dogs. It has plenty of room for everyone and had very thoughtful touches throughout the house. A well stocked kitchen and everything you could need for a stay in good and bad weather. The pool with it's hot tub and sauna take the stay to another level and we didn't want to leave.
