The Nook is an excellent choice for a weekend away to nature. Where you’re in the heart of the Forest of Dean with many beauties within a 20 minute drive. There are also many walks within a 5 minute walking radius with plenty of wildlife. My partner and I spent the weekend at the nook and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of wildlife within the area. We are also thankful for the hosts allowing us to stay and providing us with plenty of logs for the fire and outdoor stove and the many trinkets that are spread across the cottage that makes it feel like a home.
