The Nest

The location was right on the edge of the forest and close to Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst and the coast, as well as a pub a five minute walk away! The accommodation was furnished with quality products and everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

The view was great, facilities were clean and felt very cosy and relaxing

I absolutely loved my stay at the nest. It was so tranquil and peaceful, yet perfectly located to get to places easily. Melissa is also super quick to respond to any queries you might have, and gives loads of food suggestions so you’re never stuck for ideas! It was honestly such a lovely stay that I know I’ll be back very soon.

Melissa is a pleasant and kind host – she met us in person, showed everything, immediately turned on the heating, and gave useful tips about the area. The location is very good – green and quiet surroundings. There was olive oil, salt/pepper, and all the kitchen equipment needed for cooking, including a Tefal air grill. The bedding was clean, and the apartment itself was tidy and pleasant.

However, it was quite hard to find – the location pin on the map covers the whole street. We received instructions, but even they didn’t specify on which side of the street the apartment is (left or right). We had to drive around for about 10 minutes. Would it really be that hard to share exact coordinates? I can share them here: 50.78310019136464, -1.6482817031838606 – made them especially for this review 🙈 Sleeping was uncomfortable. The mezzanine bed felt unsafe – the ladder wasn’t fixed, and there was a high chance of hitting your head on the ceiling or falling from the upper level. We were offered to sleep on the sofa, but it was too small for two people and sagged under weight. There was no tea towel or washing sponge – only a brush, which wasn’t comfortable to use for washing dishes. Check-in starts at 3 p.m., but check-out is at 10 a.m. – so guests are checked in later than usual, but asked to leave earlier. An hour before check-out, we received a message reminding us to leave and to check the instructions in the guest book 🙈 Overall, the morning wasn’t the best – thank you, Melissa, for the experience.
