The space
The Nest has achieved the coveted VisitEngland Gold Award for excellence. You will be assured of a welcoming and homely idyllic woodland retreat whether you are on a short break, business trip, romantic getaway or small family holiday.

Unwind in a peaceful, bright and calm open-plan setting with the benefit of a sumptuous four poster king size bed and deep pocket sprung and memory foam combination mattress and a comfy double sofa bed.

Enjoy high quality Egyptian cotton crisp white bed linen, goose down duvets and a selection of hypoallergenic pillows along with soft blankets.

The marble tiled bathroom has a double ended bath with P shaped shower enclosure, overhead rainwater shower, waterfall taps, handheld shower and a heated towel rail. Very good water pressure. Christy towels, waffle dressing gowns, shower gel, shampoo/conditioner, hand soap and hairdryer provided.

The dining/work space with extendable wooden table and upholstered chairs easily seats 4-6 guests with a cosy electric woodburning fireplace opening to a lovely, elegant sitting room area with comfy pull-out double sofa bed providing a 12 cm deep foam mattress and bamboo topper. The sofa bed is suitable for 2 guests. A cot is also available if requested at booking.

French windows maximise the expansive woodland views with velvet curtains and black-out blinds to ensure a good night’s sleep. Overhead LED lighting is on dimmer switches to help set the mood.

There is a breakfast bar with seating for two next to the French windows overlooking the garden and woods.

The characterful weather-boarded Nest, with Winnie the Pooh weather-vane, is approached from the drive via an external wooden staircase to the leafy first-floor entrance making it feel like a treehouse and where you will find a useful rack for those muddy walking boots/wellies.

The Nest is nestled under the canopy of an old pear tree and Scots pine with your own small private garden below with lovely woodland views, furnished with dining table and chairs, a tranquil spot where you can relax and listen to the birds. There is space for bikes to be stored under the external stairs. Private secure parking is available on the drive. Do help yourselves to the pears!
