Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with guests describing the cottage as very clean, tidy, and well-presented. Only rare minor comments about outdoor furniture and a broken step were noted, but these did not significantly impact overall impressions.

Had a wonderful experience at target Nest, the place was ideally located next to the town square and was a great location to travel to the east coast and York. The accommodation itself was beyond what we thought, it was so well presented and the host/owner thought of us well with a little milk carton in the fridge along with recommendations on where to go for food and things to do. Would definitely stay again☺️
