Our places in Westward
Westward is a small village, so the choice is modest compared with nearby Carlisle, which has almost twice as many places. What you find here is fairly uniform: mostly lodges for four, with one or two bedrooms, all with a hot tub. That makes comparing them easy. You are choosing mainly on layout, fire and garden rather than on budget.
This place sleeps 4 people in one bedroom, which has a double bed and a bunk bed. There is one private bathroom, a kitchen, a TV and a washing machine.
The cottage sleeps 2 in a single bedroom with a super king bed. There is one private bathroom, a kitchen with a dishwasher and a washing machine, and a TV.
Westward sits in north Cumbria, between the Lake District fells and the Solway plain, and the lodges here suit couples and small families who want a hot tub and a dog at their side. Every place we track has a hot tub, and almost nine in ten accept pets, so those two features are not what separates one stay from another.
Prices are tightly grouped. Nearly all the lodges sleep 3 or 4, with only a few for couples, and the largest takes 6. A night usually costs about the same whether you pick a one-bedroom or a two-bedroom place, so the extra room is often close to free. Half have a log burner, which is the feature most worth checking before you book. Guest ratings are high, around 8.7 out of 10. Winter weeks are noticeably cheaper than the rest of the year, and the monthly pattern below shows how quickly prices climb after January.
Features
The hot tub is on every listing, so it is worth looking at what else is on offer. A BBQ appears at nearly every place and a high chair at more than eight in ten, which helps if you are travelling with a baby. Gardens come with about four in five. A log burner or fireplace is found at half of the lodges. The price barely changes with any of these features, so a log burner does not push a night noticeably higher. In winter that makes it an easy extra to ask for.

By number of guests
Only a few lodges sleep two, and they cost about the same per night as the larger ones. That means a couple pays far more per person than a group of four, roughly double. The bigger group is where the value lies: most places sleep 3 or 4 and have around two bedrooms. If you are a pair, a place for four gives you more room at a similar price, though the hot tub and fire matter more than the extra bed. Groups above four have very little choice, as the largest place sleeps 6.
Autumn is the cheapest time. November is the lowest month shown, and December is only slightly dearer. From January prices start to rise, and by April a night costs well over the November level, close to double. Availability tells a similar story. November and December are the busiest months, with fewer free dates, while January to April has far more open nights. If you want a last-minute break, early winter is where you will pay least but find the fewest gaps. Late winter and spring give you more choice at a higher price.
