Very clean, out of the way down unmade road next to farm. Garden for dog and country walks. Detached only noise was owls and foxes at night. Suited us perfectly.

A lovely place to stay, very peaceful and good location. The Nest is a very comfortable place to stay, good for dog walks and stepping back from work. Very clean and tidy, plenty of space, the only little niggle was the garden but the owner did apologise for it. Couldn’t really use the garden to its full potential.Would definitely return and highly recommend
