Absolutely gorgeous location and property. Very clean and tidy throughout, all the beds were super comfortable and everyone had a great night's sleep. The lounge is very cosy and easily fit all eight of us visiting, and the dining room looks out over the stunning view. There is a gorgeous outside seating area. The house has several windows which allows it to cool down quickly in the heat (we were visiting during the spring heatwave). The kitchen was very clean and had a large fridge which made it very easy for us to store all the food we brought. Upstairs, the four bedrooms are all double beds (one of the pictures implies there is a room with twin beds) but they can all (but one) be separated, but I think you will need to request single mattresses. The bathrooms were all very clean and of good size. We had a wonderful stay with no issues or concerns! Things you may want to bring: - Sleep mask - if you're sensitive to light, the curtains are good but not blackout curtains. - Ear plugs - whilst the location is very quiet, we had the great pleasure of a peacock deciding to charm us at 5 in the morning with his dulcet screams. Obviously this isn't the owner's fault, but if you're a light sleeper, it's worth considering! (The peacock came to say goodbye to us too, he was quite a charmer!)

    Brilliant stay in a clean, well-equipped lodge that was cosy and tidy. Hot tub was a brilliant addition. Also loved that the lodge was on the end so feels more private.

    The kitchen was fantastic and very up to date. The location was brilliant just far enough out of the village so it wasn't busy. The hot tub and sauna was a great added extra and easy to use with the instructions. The cottage was cosy and definitely warm enough. Lovely big back garden overlooking the woods. Massive TV to watch at night. Big drive to park a few cars out. It's all round fantastic place will definitely return.

It had everything for self catering and had milk, coffee and sugar as a welcome pack .with a piece of cake added in. The surrounding gardens were lovely. And had a wee. seating area that you could enjoy The communication before and after our stay, was great. We met Andrew, who was telling us the story of the Nook. Overall a exceptional place to stay😀

    The whole place is really nice and cozy. We never got bored because it has plenty of amenities to choose around like the hot tub and sauna, flatscreen TV in each room plus 2 smart TVs in the common room, bbq grill and a place to do bonfire. It really is meant for staycation.
