Absolutely brilliant stay! Was a little tight squeeze for 4 adults and a pup but that didnt matter. Beautiful views, beautiful animals. Great little village/town 20mins away in the car. We loved every minute of it, so did our puppy dog, he was living his best life watching the animals. Dont forget at night to look up. The stars are spectacular, my partner and sister in law even spotted a shooting star! We will definitely return!

Perfect perfect glamping holiday. Me, my husband two teen daughters and labrador absolutely love it this is the second time we have stayed at the nab and will definitely not be the last. Local Town of pokley 4 miles down the long quiet country road where there are shops, bakeries, pubs and a market. Beautiful village

We had a fantastic stay at The Nab, surroundings are absolutely stunning. The owners are very friendly and available if you need anything. The accommodation is on a horse retirement livery which was extremely peaceful and we loved the daily visits from the horses and watching all the rabbits chasing each other around. The wood fired hot tub is an added bonus and was really relaxing. We will definitely be going back ☺️
