Sara and Nigel were the perfect hosts with a warm welcome and very kindly had milk, coffee and a couple of treats there for us. The Nest is the perfect couples retreat in a out of the way lane. The Nest was fully equipped warm and cosy. The patio was very secure our little terrier spent the week trying to find a way out 🤣. We truly didn't want to leave. Central for lots of attractions but I suggest getting on the bypass before following directions as a lot of the roads are single tracks. Thank you again to Sara and Nigel for perfect little hideaway.
