The property has been thoughtfully converted to give spacious, stylish accommodation with good quality furnishings and fabrics. Plenty of hot water and generous heating added to our comfort, as well as the bed, easily one of the best we've encountered in our travels. A special mention to the pretty, private garden, also the easy to follow directions, ample car parking and the well lit entrance through a wisteria arch leading to The Nookery itself, all so well designed and maintained. We also appreciated the entrance lobby/ utility room/ drying room, a really practical feature. Thank you! We would not hesitate to recommend a stay here.

The addition of the private walled garden was a real bonus. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility, knowing the owners were available close by if needed to sort any minor problems was great. Would definitely recommend the Nookery cottage and we should love to return on another occasion.
