The owners are very friendly and extremely accommodating. We wanted somewhere quiet and that is exactly what we got. We could hear owls at night and nothing else. The Cottage itself was was stocked with everything you could need. The bed and sofa were extremely comfortable and although we had our 3 dogs with us we had plenty of space. If you're looking for a huge mansion in a town centre then this isn't for you but if you want a quiet retreat where you can relax then the Nook is perfect. I would recommend the Nook to any couple wanting to get away from everything.
